$28k isnt an unreasonable price if you look at how much it costs to mod a skyline - it all adds up.

Matt, correct me if I am wrong, but from you list of mods, you probably would have spent mid to high 30k+?

Its really is so bloody expensive when you acutally add all the costs together - depressing sometimes. Perhaps with the new raws scheme the value of a modded car will start to be appreciated a bit more - heres hoping.

hippy, I'm hurt! I keep my car very clean:(...lol

Steve, you got me thinking mate, so I sat down & did a VERY rough list of the cost to date. I was being fairly conservative with the prices too. To date there is at least 30k put into the car on top of the cost of the car itself. That doesn't include some of the work currently in progress. Sard 550cc injectors for one.

I've spent enough money on cars in the last 10yrs to build Munro's drag 33. And I'm dead serious! Kind of makes sense that my missus has had enough.

yeah steve .. ur car was nice too ... but i wasn't as shocked when i saw ur car as matts ... i couldn't beleive the condition it was in .. as if i was in an autosalon ... there was not a spec of grease to be seen ... plus the tyres i bought from u keep deflating LOL can't keep the pressure i want .. so i can't be bothered pumping them up all the time ... just means a softer ride ehehehe ... but from what u tell me about ur car ... i'd love to have a ride soon ... 300rwkw am i correct :) just make sure u have insurance when u give me a ride :D

the tyres may need to be refitted? They never leaked at all when they were on my car - really sorry about that.:)

Autosalon? Matt, what are you doing! I think its paining me more that you to see you sell:D

Insurance is paid up. hoping to head around there, but a few more weeks till the rest of the parts come from japan - then hopefully around 300.

When(IF) she blow, if not sooner if I get impatient, going 3L - or a blower, not too sure which to do first.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
