Oh, well I am only after an R34 GTR for my company car anyway. When eliteopps mentioned it I assumed he meant R34 GTR Vspec 2.

Importers are really close to having the import plates for the R34 so it shouldn't be long now.

I have a friend with an online japanese account at showatrade where he buys cars. It is pretty expensive for an account it costs $120 for 1 month or $1200 for a year. I can ask him for you. I was going to lease a R34 GTR but because of the price my work won't allow it, best I can go for is a WRX STi

cheers

Hi Contempt HPI have done a few good write ups of the R34 GTR, I have the special issue with it in if you can't get hold of a copy. I find HPI get some of the best info.

Vspec2, not judging you or your car, but I thought the V spec cars deleted the rear wiper? what year is your car 94?

I've currently got an R32 GTR in Japan... waiting to see what happens with the 15 year old rule change...

If I could afford it I would not car what colour an R34 came in.. oh well, can always dream!!

Hi Contempt - I'm not able to get access to scan in the info on the R34 GTR at this stage - I can send it to you by fax if you want? otherwise, I'll continue to see if I can find someone who can scan the article in for me.

Are you still planning on getting one?

I get my R32 GTR about march next year!

Thanks anyway mate, there's heaps of reviews/stories on the net.

Yes I am most definitely still getting one. I am more keen then ever. I just can't import the thing ;)

Anyone know how far compliance is away?

Whoever manages to get compliance plates first is going to be getting a heap of business.

Contempt, below are the companies who are seeking R34 compliance. you will need to contact them to see what stage they are at as this list is now 2 weeks old.

    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
    • Looks like whiteline don't do springs any more, part# used to be 70191 from a search. Any spring for a 32/33 GTR should fit, just look for something factory not lowered/firmer unless that is your goal
