Let's start from the very beginning...... 2002 BNR34 VSpec II NUR purchased from Zele International in Japan through Powerplay Imports. It was delivered over two years ago. The car was in 5A condit

Picture of Racepace stage one exhaust as requested. This may look like any garden variety aftermarket exhaust, but there are lots of hidden sneaky tricks to make the turbos spool hard and fast.

Excellent article and photos Matt.. I'm sure you're very proud!

Poster will be up on my wall very soon :thumbsup:

I've seen you blasting past Maccas a few times (the one just up from the freeway, trying not to go into too much detail here!) good to see the car being enjoyed!

Thanks guys. I have bought multiple copies to keep as momento. I am absolutely thrilled.

Cheers Matt

It was a white GTR Racepace special :) Nice work on the feature.

Hi Matt,

The looks hot in the Mag good work, i see your using a PFC Apexi how does the car drive?

Regards

Bobby

Thanks Bobby. The Power FC works well and car drives smoothly even with v Cam inetgrated with it. The idling is stable on Cold start. All other systems work well - air con; etc.

I am sure looking forward to a prominent magazine feature of your R34 build.

cheers

Matt

Deposit taken for ownership transfer.

Good luck to the pending new owner! I am confident that he will look after her as much as I have.

I have certainly taken a 'big' financial loss, but I still look at this entire build experience as being a gain and absolutely 'priceless', especially the friendships built over the years with fellow forum enthusiasts. I guess the finale was the feature in HPI.

A sincere thank you for all who have taken interest in this car.

(Apologies for all photos will be deleted to respect privacy of new owner)

Cheers

Matt

Well done on the build and feature. It's a shame it had to move on, but you just made someone very happy.

Hope they're on the forum and we can keep track of her progress, and lap times.

The owner is on here but there most likely won't be any lap times.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
