ah k, that's not as bad as i was thinking. ya, i've got hks cams, but not too sure about cam gears.

thanks for the reply,

Shaun

oh yeah, and another thing, how does it drive on the road? i mean, if you're just driving normal and not wanting to go on boost, is it alright to drive? i'm just wondering how it's going to go as a daily driver... hehe, i'm sure ppl will get a scare once i rev up to 5500 :P

driving daily its very good, wont come on boost untill you want it to, its a good kit as its got a big kick at about 5000 but still drives smoothly untill and over 5000.

sweet, sounds great! i'm looking forward to driving it when it arrives. I appreciate your help,

Shaun

oh yeah, one more thing - how much power has ur 32 got? also, if you've ran it down the quarter, what time did you get? Cheers.

about 400kw@wheels every day and 450 when i go racing and the car has run 10.8 ( notice how i didnt write i raced the car))

And I think its also a fair comment that there is a fair bit of work to get the car to run a time like this...........

damn, that's hefty as! sweet! now i cannot wait till it lands... hopefully should be here within 3-4 weeks. i'll update you guys when it lands, cheers for the replies.

Morgs - yeah, definately need fair bit of work to be able to run that much power. but, from the mods listed it looks as if it would be able to handle a lot.

This the one I take it :rofl:. Looks like it could be a monster. Would be interesting to know what the owner used it for.. I am inclined to think drag (though the condition is very good apart from the paint). Wonder if there are any mount points for a cage?

Looks like a very good car for the price. I have seen some in much worse condition sell for not much less. Best of luck with it.

A friend just bought one with similar mods, but larger T88 turbo, that was already landed here.

yep, that's the one. well, apparently the owner did not race it (apparently). He said he accelerated hard every now & again while using it as a daily driver. But, how much of that are you going to believe...

Yeah, i think it looks too much 'sleeper like' for a jap car. I mean, there's 2 little gauges on the left of the steering wheel, boost controller & turbo timer below it... just doesnt look like it was raced. I mean, nearly every heavily mod'd gtr in jap has a roll cage, so it's odd how this one doesn't. BUT, what can you tell by pictures, might've been removed for all we know. But the mechanical inspection said nothing about a cage, so i don't know.

NXTIME - yeah, thanks man. i just hope everything goes sweet with it.

Jolinator - in the list it says 'aftermarket computer', so it's not just running the SAFC

The 'HKS Drag Meet' stickers suggest he probably did accelerate every now and then :rofl: LOL.

LW.

hehe yeah, that's what the mechanical inspector said "owner states that it wasn't use for race... except those stickers on the side tell me differently" thought they're dated a few years ago, i think it looks ok. Most race cars that i've seen through j-spec have cages, monster gauges all down pillar, racing harness, warn driver seat or aftermarket bucket seat, body not in good order, etc. This one looks great (except for the front guard and roof), and the mechanic said "it drove extremely well, and it's tuned excellent". I just hope he is reliable...

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
