nicknick - thanks for the timeslip (what about your car?) Also was this done in the gtr you were selling for $15K on here in the last week or so? Without being too much of a synic that timeslip could have been for a rail that missed the start then got back on it 3/4 track!!

K - i jumped the gun the car pic hadn't been posted yet. So thats your car that is in HPI GTR Special #4. That article supports your story that it still has the original box. I think you will have to admit you will need some luck keepin it together if you plan to run 10's.

nicknick that is a sweet lookin car - However I am suprised that the box lasted longer than the twin plate HKS clutch. I'll let it go with respect to your 1/4 mile run but I will say that is the slowest time I have seen for that kph (I understand your clutch was f##ked, it just seems odd that you got drive in higher gears to obtain the terminal speed). Gettin back to your comparison of the rex boxes, aren't they the weekest part of subaru's driveline eg 2 -3 good launches and they are stuffed. Anyhow, lookin at your mods you should run low11's with ease. I wish you the best at the track in the future!

PS: What was the go with that 15K gtr you needed to sell to buy a house but now you have this beast?

dean from upimports did the work, some of it, i dont know who BMT is,i know you think its odd that it run a poor time running 186kph, imagine my face when i saw the time sheet. i sold the stock gtr quick so i can invest in a good property oportunity, doesnt mater i can always buy another one for run around.

at to BLITZ i live in sydney i bought it from melbourne, that was a fun drive, think i clocked it 3 times on the way back, twice on the straight and once uphill, first time ever i a car. thanks benjiman74 for the support, hopefull i get my time that i want so i can finally have the paper to prove it.

its a T78-33D the biggest of the T78's, when the box was rebuilt like i mentioned, my mate told me there is no reason the box shouldnt hold the power, its been holding it till now and it was perfect inside( he said like new) i mean that should say something about the box after 9 years of driving. and for the low 11's comment, i think it should be possible for a mid to low 11 hopefully. we wont know till we try,...

According to the time slip, you got a 60ft of 2.393..... Either your getting heaps of wheel spin or she's bogging down....

Either way, a good launch should see you well into the elevens......

What rwkws she pumping out???

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • 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?
