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.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
