From what little playing around we got to do indoors the converter seems fairly tight but I would imagine it has to be reasonably tight to hold over 1000hp to 6000rpm. I'd say we'll have to get the gas in fairly earlier to get it right up on the converter quick enough for racing. I dont really want to get it in to early if you no what i mean as it makes massive torque quite early. May even have to look at doing it progessively, like 50 in at 3k the full 200 in at like 4500. We'll just have to see when we do a bit more playing in a fortnight.

let us all know how you go with the box holding input shafts, I have one in a GTR here with only 450rwkw no nos and havent even used the transbrake yet and have snapped 3 input shafts the last of which was a custom made 25mm chromoly unit. (standard is 21mm).

Looks the goods Dave, cant wait to see it run

What box are you running though and what have you done to it overall??

Yes that's right -30 bottom end.

Colour spectrum - it's out there i know but when you got it flaunt it i rekon plus the paint job was sponsored by Mandurah smash repairs and Creative works - so i simply let em go! Not for the street but hey that's not where it's going to live hey?

Thanks for the sensible comments guys , as you would all be aware it takes a lot of effort, $$$$$$$$ and know how to get one of these GTR's to this stage,after all they are really a circuit car.

Being a purist at heart I have endeavoured to keep her as close to all Nissan as possible, right down to the box. We will then be able to compare Nissan GTR with Nissan GTR if you get my drift!

Admittedly the Nissan products have all been modified and strengthened but is'nt that half the fun?

The box is basically the same as yours but forward pattern.

Balanced carrier input shaft,

over sized and honed front carrier,

Kevlar bands

billet clutch hubs

extra clutches

high flow pump

over sized pan

billet servo

hardened chrome rings

new planetries, gasket, etc

full billet valve bodies,

TCI converter

These are what I can remember, it was built by Keas, and I am under the impression that yours even though it was not built by Keas will have some of his componetry in it

Ok - let me ask you this - are you using the re4r01a box?

    • 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?
