The modding will need to be ok under warranty. I am very hard on my cars as I drive them often in club track days. I have herad the APS stage 1 is 330fwkw and the stage 2 is 390kw, I like that potential :-)

If the import laws were not so fu*ked up at the moment I may have waited, but I see things getting worse in the next 2 years.

The best thing about the xr6T is my fleet insurance is cheap (<$1100) and the bank will finance it with no probs.

Hopefully there will be a drift day in may and I will be there.......I have ordered 2 x 17" wheels extra for this type of thing :-) The dealer could not understand why my car needed 3 spare tyres.

HSVKLR: Phantom, nice choice in colour.....I went with lightning strike (light silver)

lol that's right! you could have had something truly "sports" like those window wind protectors or rear louvres or maybe the ultimate sports addition...extra stickers...

:wassup:

the funny thing about the XR8 bonnet is it was the main thing that turned me off the v8. I hate having a lump in my field of vision ala WRX as it just shits me. I do like the look of the "power bulge", but not when driving it.

I did ask if I could delete the bodykit but it is not an option, I like a subtle look, but the turbo badge will be removed ASAP as it is only stickon.

IT WILL BE DRIFTED....I have the power and RWD now.....

the standard xr6 does not have any climate control, it was only added as an option from april 04, its the same as the LTD one, dual zone etc. It is a $4.5k option that includes leather sports seats and some other stuff....i have ordered mine with this option.

    • 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?
