For Sale is my Project - KE 1989 TX3 4WD Turbo Laser. Car is not registered.

This car is an ex rally / race car. It has welded & strengthened seams. Mounts for roll cage. etc - Fully kitted out for rally / race. Also has front and rear strut braces. Mounts for race harness and comes with harness kit (not new, not installed). This car handles like a cart !

I have started it's transformation but need completion now as I am going O/S/

1.6L turbo engine has just had new Excedy 3 puck racing clutch fitted. Engine runs well and is in car - but need gearbox links, throttle cables and wiring up. The car comes with a old Haltech Fuel only ECU - but would recommend replacing with a newer Fuel & Ignition ECU as the Haltech is no longer supported and getting the tuning software has proved to be difficult. Engine runs perfect and compression is a uniform 160 accross all cylinders. A variety of Pod filters comes with the package.

The engine has bigger injectors - Custom Dump and Big straight thru exhaust (no cat)

The turbo has been stripped, cleaned and polished. No shaft play at all - Also comes with a spare turbo.

Suspension has been replaced by me as it had a bent front strut. Full race spec K-Sport inverted coil overs have been fitted to the front - I have the rear coil overs but haven't fitted them. The suspension is brand new and cost me $2,500. Old suspension comes with the package.

I have replaced all suspension rubbers at the front along with tie rod ends and control arms with new items - New sway bar links bushes. The front sway bar is a massive 30mm job and the rear suspension has been worked for racing.

Engine mounts are all good - had to replace one with a new one. Crossmember rubber have been replaced with new one.

Basically, when I took the engine out - if anything was worn or broken, I replaced with new items.

Front and rear discs have been replaced by new DBA slotted rotors - Fronts are fitted - Rears are not - but come with the package. Brake pads are good - comes with a new set of rear pads. Brake system has fully braided lines and has brake bias control (front / rear). Handbrake is Hydrolic.

Front wheel bearings have been replaced & repacked with new ones. All CV joints have been inspected and re-packed.

Car has racing seats installed which are a bit old - but I have new seats (not installed) available. (extra $300)

Wheels are polished Simmons all around - Tyres are good condition.

Car has been re-sprayed a few times which you can notice - Engine bay has been cleaned and re-sprayed.

I have spent over $5.5K on the car so far - and it won't take much to get into race condition.

Car will need to be towed as engine not completely hooked up and car is not registered.

I was thinking of stripping and selling the individual bits as I would get a lot more $$ this way- but basically I can't be stuffed - so if you want a bargain - Give us a call.

Price - Offers over $2,500

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
