Was riding my pushie down Bakers Rd, Coburg (automotive industrial area) today when a red Monaro caught my eye coming towards me.

First thought was that it sounded extra tough! Then as it went past it clicked - it was a bloody HRT 427! It had the distinctive hood with NACA ducts and bonnet release pins, and I could make out the half cage in there too. My jaw pretty much dropped as it went past, not somewhere you'd expect to see such a supremely rare car. I guess there's the chance it could've been a mockup, but all the badges were correct and the huge apRacing discs were in there too. What are the chances?

^ Why is this in a thread full of good cars?

Show some respect son; thing is a still born beeeeeast.

Likely a mockup, colour, as the few that they made of these cars (possibly even only 2 from memory) are safely locked away, museum style, hardly being driven. A couple of companies offered to make replicas; it wouldn't be too difficult given many were already offering to slot a 7 litre into Commodores/Monaros.

Also was at a Sandown track day last month, with some cars you don't see everyday (not sure if track spots count)

FFFUUUUUUUUU!!!!

Looks epic!

458 Italia with bolt on flared guards at the rear..?

Yeah, it's a 458 challenge. Factory built track car i think, no VIN numbers or anything. Built to GT3 touring car spec.

Showed up briefly to make use of the empty track while everyone was called in to lunch. Provided a very nice soundtrack :D

Ah see! Yeah would have sounded insane!

So kind of like the Pagani Zonda R, a Track Spec only car... in a sense.

How would you even go about importing the 458 Challenge in?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
