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!

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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
