Was driving my R35 in Gold Coast, QLD last night. R34 pulls up and I could tell immediately he wanted me to give it a little.

My girlfriend was in the car, so I couldn't. If she wasn't, I would have only punched it to the speed limit then stopped, don't worry guys.

To my surprise, the R34 simply tails behind. Like he was stalking me. I just assumed he wanted a good look to the new model.

I was wrong. He eventually gave up waiting for me to give it some, so he took off without me.

HOLY SHIT. It was spraying rubber. He literally had a few little chucks of rubber fly from his tires on to my windscreen. His R34 would have absolutely demolished me if I had ever given it some.

He had a shaved head, the R34 was loud, smokey, little bit scary, no rear spoiler, some sort of roll cage, white and I found a new respect for the older generation R34.

Thank you, R34 driver.

Nice to see that you take your own advice after the lectures you deliver Richard :yes:

Hi Terry, I'm not sure what you mean by lectures I have given?

To the others, no, I won't think I am safe.

this thing spat rubber. Was that insane. Do you think it was built as a drag car or something? No spoiler and all.

Rule #5 from the CEO of vroomvroomvroom.com says "Be entrepreneurial within your own idea" and not digress too much > You stayed within your own realm of an R35 and did not get tempted to take on a hawt R34 GT-R hehe...

Old thread but was this at the back of Carrara, EVERYTHING about this says it was me....

I was driving back to Brisbane from Surfers. Looking at google maps, it looks like I need to pass through Carrara to get there. So yes, it most likely was you. Was that a roll cage? No spoiler?

      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

      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
