rrp on the 2008 model is $1400

i can't find my mag with previous year model prices in it. (that isn't true, i just CBF looking)

there is a magazine that you can get from your local newsagent called 'bicycling buyers guide'. it lists the RRP of pretty much every mtb or road bike over about $500. it has a few specs on the bike too. comes in handy if you are looking at buying a bike because some shops run their prices are above RRP, so it's a very easy way to knock a few dollars off.

$350

w00t

24 speedddddsssss

that's a pretty good price.

My bike but in blue not orange - Apollo Altitude XC :sleep:

so that would be either a 2006 or 2007 model. if it is a darkish blue then it is the 2006, and if it is a medium blue with silver where the orange is on the one in the picture its a 2007 model. they haven't really changed much in the past few years.

I have a specialised hard rock mountain bike. Its a few years old now but it still does the job.

My dad has an orbea. Cost ova 4gz and i can pick it up with one finger. Its an awsome bike to ride.

Dont have pictures of them though

I guess mines the 2007 model with the medium blue and silver - I was thinking why theres no blue listed there :D

    • 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.
    • 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.
