Ken Block is a hack and an amateur.

  • First 5 minutes of the 7 minute vid is him crapping on about the car, there's only 2 minutes of actual footage
  • The car is only used on a purpose built track with heaps of room (like most of his vids - or portable plastic barriers that don't hurt when you hit them)
  • Judging by the tyre marks on the road he's had about 16 goes at each corner before getting a keeper (all of his vids are like this - just look at every corner of every KB video)

May I suggest you skip that video and watch a couple of Ryan Tuerck's instead.

  • Forest road, no soft safety barriers
  • Most corners are virgin lines, or at most 1 previous (faint) set on the ground that could easily be someone else's. This basically means he made ONE run for the footage.

  • No safety barriers
  • Most corners are virgins, until the tandem part of the vid where you can tell they had a couple of practice goes

  • 1 or 2 previous sets in parts but still 14 less than old mate Ken.

Ryan can f**king drive!

It's likely that was a press day where he took lots of people for a spin in his car, hence lots of marks.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm sure those vids you posted are vids of the first ever time that guy drove those roads....

Double edit: I find the Hoonigan stickers on Ryan Turek's car ironic. Hoonigan is literally Ken Block's brand.

I liked Off Seasons Two - but the poor S13 almost rattled itself to death! Also, too many 'arty' shots that do the driving no justice at all. I did like the chase car shots though.

FRS one is really cool.

I don't think there is much mustang left in that car. Pushrod suspension. It has more in common with a pargani zonda. Safe to say the V8 would be a custom billet block based motor too. Resembling the dimensions of another OEM manufacturer in some dimensions only. Purpose built go-fast toy !

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
