hahha gee thanks :P

for me its is200 with 1jz in it :) and stagea for the wife

hmmm if it'll make you feel better, and I think I've told kristian (iron chef) this too... there is a way around getting fast altezza's. See in japan they sold the altezza in a hatchback/wagon, sorta like a impreza wagon, or an evo wagon. This car actually meets the criteria for the SEVS list, cos it meets power to weight, and has a unique silhouette. I dunno if they came with a BEAMS engine, but I'm fairly sure they came in a turbo (i'll have to check the docs)... think from memory they're all 4WD too.

Although given the choice between a Caldina and an Altezza Wagon... hmmm.

IS200's are still a rich man's corolla. There's a running joke in the curry community that a poor curry dad drives a camry (a rich dad would drive a "lexus" ES300), and his son drives a corolla, then when his son gets on a 40k+ salary he buys an IS200, thus still keeping the tradition.

West - looks nice, clean, slick and tough... looks kindda like an e.g honda civic but is more luxurious and more tougher looking.

yeah, i do like it a lot. keep us posted on how you go.

EP82 halfcuts are about 4k for everything you need. the EP82 and EP91 chassis' are the same so the older parts should bolt straight up... but apparently the EP91 turbo's are a lil faster.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
