That reviewer sounds like he has an axe (read supra) to grind...Some realistic criticism though.

Here is a link to a R34 GTR review that is a little more professional in its approach. Drop the clutch @ 8000rpm included

http://www.jbskyline.net/R34/GTR/

Julian Edgar is a known tosser.

He jumped from an RS Liberty into a 32 GT-R (which he paid $80K for) and was too much of a blouse to handle the low-speed over steer.

Then modified the attesa control system with his friends at silicon chip magazine to give permanent front wheel torque (like the 33/34's, but more).

Basically he wasn't impressed with the demanding nature of travelling by GT-R, and thought he'd tell the whole world about it.

He did road review the Targa winning 34 N1 of a few years ago and was impressed with that in the mountains, though.

Your spot on Sh@un, I think Julian Edger had his fingers burnt with his GTR. After paying $80k, and then imports started coming in. He also had a big loose and did major damage while he owned it. which = one unhappy experience

    • How do people sell and buy modified cars in Victoria? Because internet says you have to get a RWC every time the car is sold. In NSW the blue slip / full check is only required for cars that had their registration lapsed or are bought from interstate. The yearly pink slip / rego check just looks at tyres, lights, leaks and things like that. They tend to not care about modifications. So can buy a car that is modified as long as it was registered before modifications. And then keep driving it. With the lingering threat of getting defected and fu<ked at any time.
    • I think just better tyres, I'm just on Hankook RS-4 tyres at the moment, which aren't really meant for the track. Also, been mucking around with my suspension for sometime now and I'm really happy bow neutral it is. Car doesn't want to just oversteer or understeer like it did years ago.  Time to put on proper tyres one day and see what the shit box can do at SMSP, One Raceway and Luddenham again.
    • How much work to get you in the 55s? Or just more seat time?
    • A client's front yard in Kawanishi, Hyogo-ken. I work part time doing bathroom and kitchen demolition for a Japanese home renovation contractor.  Sharp Aquos R8
    • It's not "interpreted as" it literally is no more than 1 mod to the intake system. The turbo is considered something that affects emissions. So this has 0.0% chance of passing it's current state. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this would absolutely need thousands to get on the road. Perhaps the seller still has the stock bits, but god knows what state the OEM wiring is to run the ECU, whether an OEM cluster is still available, etc. Generally speaking, RWC testers in Victoria are more conservative than the rules actually are to boot, so even if the car will pass, they won't even want to look at it, nor consult the actual roadworthiness requirements. They will simply throw it in the too hard basket with a flavor of arrogance and move onto the next job, even if the mods you have meet the requirements of VSI14.
