  1. Deposit taken for ownership transfer.

    Good luck to the pending new owner! I am confident that he will look after her as much as I have.

    I have certainly taken a 'big' financial loss, but I still look at this entire build experience as being a gain and absolutely 'priceless', especially the friendships built over the years with fellow forum enthusiasts. I guess the finale was the feature in HPI.

    A sincere thank you for all who have taken interest in this car.

    (Apologies for all photos will be deleted to respect privacy of new owner)

  2. Hi Matt,

    The looks hot in the Mag good work, i see your using a PFC Apexi how does the car drive?

    Regards

    Bobby

    Thanks Bobby. The Power FC works well and car drives smoothly even with v Cam inetgrated with it. The idling is stable on Cold start. All other systems work well - air con; etc.

    I am sure looking forward to a prominent magazine feature of your R34 build.

    cheers

    Matt

  3. great article in PI magazine!!!

    Such an amazing car and the photos look brilliant!

    Excellent article and photos Matt.. I'm sure you're very proud!

    Poster will be up on my wall very soon :thumbsup:

    I've seen you blasting past Maccas a few times (the one just up from the freeway, trying not to go into too much detail here!) good to see the car being enjoyed!

    Thanks guys. I have bought multiple copies to keep as momento. I am absolutely thrilled.

    Cheers Matt

    It was a white GTR Racepace special :) Nice work on the feature.

  4. Pm sent regarding 'HKS Variety A' - single sheet - multiple individual decals - X 4 sets available - cost $17.00

    Good point, I forgot to mention sizes of decals.

    The clear backing for each decal set is 27cm X 6cm. Therefore if the decal runs almost the entire length of the clear backing, then its about 25cm long (the big logo ones - HKS Power; Tuned by HKS etc)

    The variety set A, each decal is about 6 to 4 cm in length and 4 to 1 cm in width, therefore quite small.

  5. For sale genuine Japanese decals sourced directly from Yahoo Japan. These are rare and hard to find!

    These are high quality and suitable for exterior or interior usage. They are NOT vinyl imitation or reproduction.

  6. Hi Matt

    The car that will be on the front cover of performance imports 134 is my R33 GTR time attack car you saw it at RacePace last year jack was dropping it off. This will be a great issue tuff track and street GTR's.

    Hi Jason

    The car that will be on the centerfold of performance import 134 is my R34 GTR Racepace HKS RB28 VCam Street car you see at Racepace all the time. Yes, it will a great issue for all GTR enthusiasts.

  7. Sorry to digress from the details of the engine build itself. But I must say the interior retrim is already another highlight of this build. The leather and alcantara combo and stitching details look classy.

    But may I ask who did the interior re-trim for you? Judging from the photos posted on the JEM website, the quality looks outstanding, matching, if not surpassing the Robson Japan's standards. The leather looks perfectly smooth and moulded to the front seat base contours and side bolsters. This is said to be almost impossible to achieve by a few (well known) automotive trimmers in Melbourne.

    Do you know the process involved? Did the trimmer have to peel the original OEM fabric off the seats or was the leather simply glued on top?

    Cheers

    Matt

  8. This build is going to be epic!

    Certainly you have compiled a list of top class and unique components, I am looking forward to seeing it all come together.

    Any consideration for V Cam?

    Speaking from my experience, it is extremely helpful in helping you to achieve the objective of response, low end torque and early turbo spool up.

    Is the build more street or track orientated?

    Cheers

    Matt
