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

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

    • 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?
