Awesome times, Slicks or semi slicks??

265-17 Dunlop slicks Mathew. Car is only 2WD so getting traction out of corners on semi-slicks would stop me from getting those times. They were used slicks and were definately not as good as they were when new. Even new they couldn't put the power down properly so I now have a set of Panasport 17x12 rims for rear and 10's for the front so I can run some Sports Sedan 300x17 tyres on rear. With the extra traction from those Im expecting to better all times.

I'm also halfway through fitting up a dual master cylinder setup with balance-bar and in-dash adjuster so I can play with the bias. Also looking to improve the rear brakes as currently they are just stock JZA80 Supra.

Right - I feel I can put my car in here now even though it is still street registered. :)

1999 R34 GT-R V Spec. The whole focus of the cars build has been towards winning the Dutton Rallies. And finally on the weekend we were able to win Dutton Vic :)

Car has a built 2.6L with twin 2860-5's. Tein RS suspension, complete R33 drivetrain, half cage with side intrusion bars and a bunch of other goodies.

I agree 100% definatley the Nissan throttle body helping with the speed. Very impressive lap times there will look forward to seeing your car in action sometime soon. I hope i can match or better those times when my car is finnished (depending on driver skill) as it will be a bit demoralizing being beaten by a toyota little own a bright pink one. :)

Sounds good, which car will you be using? Im assuming its the R32 in the avatar?

You will of course be dropping the front tailshaft, right? :)

The gearing in the R34 6 speed is too short in 1st for the cone stuff at the Dutton Rallies. But more than that the whole gearbox in the R33 is much nicer to use than the 6 speed getrag. The R34 has that stupid 3.54 diff which was designed to give some rediculous top speed that will never be used but it also meant that even though the car had 6 gears there was "gaps" in the rev ranges at some tracks. The R33 gearbox / diff combination is just much better all round. I also have taken out the V spec diff and put in a non-v spec mechanical which has been tightened up. Much nicer than the V spec diffs especially on the skidpans.

whats involved with going that way, more so the tailshaft??

i've gone the oppisite and i have a 34 box in my 32 but i keep getting questions as to what i have done with the tailshaft

we had to moddify a R33 tailshaft into an R34 one. I didnt do it so I don't know the full story I just know the tail shaft is part of each one now. I know the standard tailshafts were the wrong length which is why the mods had to be done.

I am actually in the process of building an R33GTR for track use hopeing to have it ready for the indy ralley in oct but am starting to cut it fine on having it finnished in time I will be keeping that front drive shaft though.I will just be running semi slicks so with your full slicks that should even up the traction issue a little.

ok sweet i think thats similar to what i know about it also. joined the 32 one to the 34 and its the right length or something along them lines.

i love the 34 box tho! tho have only driven eastern creek

yeh good ole john loves spiting me.

Its pronounced "inspiring" mate :thumbsup:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
