I think you are confusing the Mines and Veilside GTR's as I believe the Mines Demo car is 600hp not 1300hp.

haha damn you beat me to it !!!

Yeah what Benm said......2530`s are already giving it their all to muster them 600hp.....somehow I dont think you can squeeze 1300hp out of them.....

Having said that...id rather the Mines GTR over the Veilside one anyday......even with less than half the hp.

I just need to win lotto...

I promised myself I wouldn't do this but I just have to correct 2 points in this thread.

1. The Mines R34 GTR DOES NOT make 1300hp. It makes approx. 600ps

2. The Bonnet on the car is NOT a Z Tune bonnet. It is a NISMO R TUNE Bonnet.

ok lets try and bring some order to this discussion as i know the owner of the "mines gtr" (complete legend i may add) and saw it get built from the ground up . I have also had the pleasure of seeing many of the receipts ......ouch, but it was done properly

ok engine$$$$$ lots and lots not 25k

the advertised price for the mines engine is a rather standard affair. If you want bigger valves, bigger oil pumps, cc head and so on you have to pay and it aint cheap. and that price also dosnt include a block, head or a crank($10,000). so when someones says you can buy a mines crate engine for 25k ask for a few. Oh that also dosnt include turbos, manifolds or plenum oh they also cost money coz Mr mines does some nice work to those aswell.

Suspension and you thought the engine was expensive. Start looking around at what top quality suspension costs and you will realise this aint cheap, oh and not your HKS hyper dampers either lol.

Mines were also limited in what they could use on their car. If it aint a mines product it aint on their car. This car has the best products from every tuner in japan. Mr mines himself said that it feels faster then his car when he drove it, but because one is in japan and one is in oz its kinda hard to race them together(damn that big bit of ocean)

There is more and more that i could keep going with but its all to hard, yes you can go and buy a more powerfull gtr and it will go very fast in a straight line. But will it stop, turn and then go fast again ??? There is a reason Fred Gibsons old r32 gtrs ran about the same power. And they were unbeatable at bathurst. Power means almost nothing unless you need to win an autosaloon dyno comp or need to brag on forums

Total build cost was well over 300k and that dosnt include labour and frieght costs for all parts from japan. Was it worth it ??? who knows but it does lap a few of our circuits faster then his friends gt2(alot faster) and he paid 400k for the gt2 . Is it worth 170k to buy now....... depends what ya want. but it does look way cool and sounds like no other gtr you have ever heard.

So how much does a mines crate engine cost with turbos, plenum, fuel rail, injectors etc... and where could I get it from i.e. which dealer in Australia (if any?)

      Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list

      Front LSD Quaife , how streetable ?- QDF3L Owners

      Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
