Julz I'm not trying to be a prick, sorry if my question came accross that way.

Like I said, I don't like seeing people getting taken for a ride. If you feel what you're paying is fair then great, enjoy the car :/

The first time you race I reckon it will be an easy win for the GTR just because the RWD GTT (even with slicks) will be a lot harder to keep straight and get the power down cleanly off the line. Where as the GTR will have that slight advantage over you. Once you get the hang of it though and can nail it down the quarter perfectly it's any ones game.

i would have bought an r35 gtr instead an happily lost.

Enjoy the car mate. I think you should be able to take this one out.

mate if i wanted an r35 gtr i would have went out and bought one

i could go to nissan to buy one tomorrow if i really wanted to but i want to drag my r34

thanks i will enjoy it.

reckon you're beast will be in some kind of car magazine in the future?

you dont see many rb26/30 these days, let alone in a mint, screaming fast R34 GTT!

lol keep goin till you hit 1k hp :banana:

lol

maybe one day

im not doing it for a magazine spread, i just wanna build a fast car really.

1000hp would be awesome and the motor is definately able to do it but i dont wanna break shit 600-700hp should be enough for what i want which is a 10sec pass with a manual and then ill eventually do the auto and go for sigle digits.

if i ever get canaried for it on the street it wont be re - registered and i will go absolutely stupid on it lol

change every panel to carbon, just have a shell, a cage, engine and wheels, if i dont need it, itll go lol

Just looking at a list of about 64 sub 10 second cars ( the 10sec list would be more relevant to this thread but Performance Car mag doesn't list them anymore) and about a third are awd (GTRs, evos, wrxs) . Nissans include:

Reece McGegor R32 GTR 7.57 @ 306km/hr

Adam Wigg R34 7.85@ 264

Robbie Ward (RIPS) 240Z 7.86 @ 285

Glenn Suckling R32 GTR 7.91 @ 291

Robbie Ward R34 GTR 9.46 @ 251

Stu Rogers C33 Laurel 9.5 @ 222

Ben Cox Datsun 1200! 9.87 @ 229

hay buddy

how many of those cars are street registered?

also i dont quite get what ur comparing here as the original question was about an r34gtt and an r33 gtr and neither of those appear on that list there (unless adam wiggs r34 is a gtr)

how many of them run on pump fuel also as both of our cars should be running on pump fuel (hopefully)

pretty sure rips r34 gtr was full trim.

The pupose of posting the list is just to show that 4wd cars can make some good times. As I said the 10 second bracket would have been of more interest to you but they don't publish them anymore. Robbie Wards 240Z had massive rears (you can see a video on the RIPS website) but the R34GTR was in full street trim but with either slicks or drag radials on about 10in rims

Few other of the above cars would be driven on the street.

Wiggs R34 is a tube framed fibreglass and carbon fibre body with a supercharged Rb30/25 with mechanical fuel injection and a 2 speed auto driving the rears only with 15 x 14 tyres. It will be going faster yet.

pretty sure rips r34 gtr was full trim.

ok

its very difficult to find any r34 drag car times on the web. i found a couple but they were both tubbed

What does "street registered" mean? Just because you have rego doesn't mean much.

it means that it will still be road driven, where as most of the cars on the list would be straight up racing cars where as mine is not. its a road registered vehicle which will be driven (sedately) on the road

the term "street registered" goes back to the classic street machine days

where a car has number plates and a registration sticker on it, and it's insanely fast/quicker/mega power

this means the car is a normal car and can drive on the road, but be quick as all hell etc etc

cars that go with a full cage, stripped interior, slicks, parachute etc ditch the "street registration" tag

what erks me is when someone says they have a "street registered" fast/mega power car

and the reason it is "street registered" is because it started out as a normal car at one point

if the owner took the car to vic roads / nsw RTA and said hey, here is my 10sec skyline

can you please register it for me, i need new plates, it is likely to fail a lot of tests and not become eligable to be "street registered".

again the same applies if you go through an EPA checkpoint or police defect station, will it pass? of course not, does it have rego? yes

Our lite weight is the only advantage we have...So I have makde it even liter on myne.( i actually thought of buying carbon doors too at one stage but its definatley street illegal in NSW )

Power up mods wont really help as we 34's be skidding when 2 much power. So to get some grip some Expensive 18 by 9inch( or wider if u can find/fit) wheels at back and nicely tuned suspension. But then again really depends on many conditions at time of race including weather and such.

Any ways good luck with the race and Hopefully you will enjoy the carbon bornet as much as i did... :)

"May the bornet be part of your Victory"

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
