Sold to GTA? Thats funny - I popped in there last Sat to see some of the new arrival GTR's and all they have is the old beat-up R34's that have been for sale for ages floating around. That means that they will now have 5 bloody R34 GTR's for sale! LOL.

Adz - I was watching the "making of" DVD for GT4 last night and the R34 they have in that has only the large outter lights are coming on under braking so whom ever told me that this was changed under complience was full of :bs!:

Roy, The problem you have asked is for GOOD bodykit places. There are 2 main body kits places I know of - Jetspeed and Pulse but so far I've heard mixed reviews about both places. http://www.jetspeed.com.au/offtheshelfkits.asp http://www.pulseautostyling.com/

Apparently this car was seen on the back of a trailer heading over the west gate bridge into Melbourne yesterday. Wonder if its sold already? Still had the COPYME plates on it however.

99 R34 GTR VSpec - Bayside Blue 3" Blitz zorst Power FC + HC Trust FMIC Apex'i Dual Pods Tein HA's Extreme Single Plate Clutch Nismo 320km/hr Cluster Serck Oil Cooler Rays LMGT4's + Falken Zien's (Street) Stock Rims + Advan A048's (Track) 255rwkw's @ 15psi 1.26.7 around Sandown. Currently has one busted gearbox.

Chris / Jarrod, Guys - thanks both for the offers and at this stage I am still keen to come up. The tough part is that it seems now there is a slim possibility my car may be ready on time. Although Im not holding my breath, but if toyota have gear sets in stock then Im in luck. But I won't know if my car is going to be ready until late in the week so especially to you Chris I couldn't say yes right now - although the idea of taking the gemini has some strange appeal I must admit! lol. But one way or another it looks like I will come up anyways so if still need to beg for a drive I can do so at the Shep Pub on Sat night.

I take it the alloy gear knobs don't come with a H pattern - only the titanium one?

Jevan - they are definitely now being done. Perhaps speak to Adzmax as he just got his car back last week.

I use a serck and it works awesome. Highly recommended.

Chinny - leave it black and see if we can't get more SAU Vic members with Black R34 GT-T's than what we have with Midnight Purple R33 GTR's! Just Kidding But congrats man - you have definitely been waiting a loooooong time for this.

Because Nissan DOES NOT DO SPARES for the R34 gearbox.

Sold.

Because I don't even have the ute at the moment - its in getting some touch up work so I can sell it. And the wife wont let me use her car - and Gerlad just sold his car last Friday. So the gods are against me.

I still come if someone out there wants to enter me as a second driver!! Come on - you know you want too!! Im soo bummed my car isnt available Was looking forwards to this for ages. But Im a crappy spectator (well Im a crappy driver as well but hey!) so I couldnt bring myself to go all that way just to watch.

Its all rumour and speculation as to when its going to be out BUT the good oil says that the whole reason why there was the delay is because EA Sports lisence agreement with both Porsche and Ferrari runs out on Nov 1st - so GT4 will be released just afterwards as both companies WILL be in it this time. This story is kinda backed up by the fact that the prologue comes with a "making of" DVD which contains both Ferrari and Porsche in real life cars.

I farken don't! Have just finally had some good news in that it seems the R34 gearbox IS the same as the Supra 6 speed and that gear-sets are readily available from Toyota.

Gary - I got a quote from Holinger last week - $18,000 (would be the same box for you) IMO - the better option would be to get a replacement gear-set from Pfitzner. These are about $9,000. Speak to Gerald about them - he is getting a set for his R32. More deatils are here also - http://www.gearbox-racing.com/gearboxes.html#

James - apparently the M5 is all gold in the orange licence. Oh - and I want to KILL the Prius. That is one really stupid car to have in a racing simulator. Can't wait til the real GT4 comes out and I can stick a stage 3 turbo on it and flatten the battery in 100m!

Alright, I finished all the licences in about 5 hrs and was a touch disappointed initially to discover that this was basically the whole game. I thought there was going to be at least some normal "Gran Turismo" modifying, racing in it but it seem not. The MAIN challenge of this game is going to be getting all golds in the licences - I can see by the empty spots in the arcade garage that there are still more cars to come obviously from winning all golds in the 5 licences plus another for all gold in the coffee breaks (those things suck ass!) I initially thought you were going to get the extra cars from getting a certain number of "points" (There is some points total for no apparent reason) but I now have like 17 golds so Im thinking it has to be for getting all golds in each licence catagory. I think the 5 courses are awesome, cars handle really well but on some of them (see R34 GTR) the gear changes SUCK (must be that crappy getrag gearbox! haha!), the rallying is much tougher, and the whole if you hit another car you lose thing really teaches you to drive better. Getting some of the golds I can see as being near impossible so thats my only concern (like getting past the spoon s2000 in NY in one lap!). But overall I've come to appreciate this game for what it is - but I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed until the real GT4 comes out. And James - still no M5 concept yet

That figure is great!

poyz - hadn't heard of them but I gave them a call and waiting for a response. Looks like they cover the 32/33 boxes but not sure about this damn getrag box. Did I mention that getrag gearbox's are GAY?

Im guessing non of those $1000 GTR gearboxes are from an R34 hey. Stupid question really. But I am interested in the cost of a R33 GTR rear diff.

They are overated. I had one for 4 years. (97 model) Unless you are talking TypeR.
