Mark And Russ's Super R34 Build Up

[Duncan]

hahah only driven on sundays.

nope i won't sell it. apart from anything else I'll never recover anything like it is worth to me

[Roy]

i cant believe the price of some really nice road 32's at the moment. great time to be buying!!

Im probably pissing in your pocket, but i am curious to know the asking price of the R33. Will be earning pounds shortly so

[m3gtr]

Hope im not hijacking but whats the car market like in Oz atm?

Be interested to hear a couple of quotes.

32 gtrs - 18 - 25k mostly some of the nicer modded ones are into the 30s but not many. 33 gtrs can be had for as little as 24k ranging up into the 30s and the 34 gtrs have dropped down to around 45 - 50k for a non v spec model. v specs are still getting sold from 50 - 60k and then theirs the modified 34s/nur specs etc that are 70k+

Thats what I'm seeing on Carsales.com.au anyway. Definetly a good time to be lookin at 32s there seems to be alot more later modeled ones around 93/94s that are very clean. I'm looking to buy one come the new year fingers crossed.

Giant have you got anymore pics of this beast would love to see some more

Russ,

Whats happening???

Any more photos at this stage?

[maccattack]

Come on Russ.

WHAT THE !!!!

[giant]

no more news!

mark has just finished moving house and i pushed my r35 in front for him to prepare for rally tas! so his machine gets to sit for awhile which he is not happy about.

so this is the r34 to date

[Duncan]

jesus you guys are putting in some effort on that nugget of yours

[BezerkR32]

if you need some where for it to sleep id be happy to give it a home for you for a while. got 200square meters of empty workshop i was thinking of leasing out. it can live with mine, although you get it back with a Chevy in it lol.

I was building mine with the intention of selling it, but know that its close to finished i dont think i could let anyone else have it. so the go-kart went on ebay instead.

yeah me too....you need to find some space and keep it. even once your fancy panys r34 and r35s are hooning around you will miss the antique feel of the vintage r32

[giant]

i like your style stuart, i would sleep in my shed if i could!

as long as you make sure the chev can rev!

[giant]

dunc i have done f#@kall on the r34 , mark is a machine when he put his mind to it.

about the most i did was pull all the vinyl crap off the carbon boot , took about 6 hours! still got the bonnet to do:(

for some reason the japs had decided to vinyl sticker the body panels on the Tomei drag car instead of painting them.

[Marlin]

She's lookin delicious Russ and Mark.

While I have you... I'm gonna grab some notes from Suncoast Classic Targa last year for our "leasurely drive" ok? Since you don't have anything sporty... I'm trying to finish some stuff off on the 32 if you wanna use that? I'll need Kel to do a re-tune though first.......

[giant]

it should be a rocket Ben!

sounds great about the notes, i am happy to use your 32 if we can, thanks for the offer mate

i do have a road r32 but need to put the alternator back on it, only about a half hours work .

it's a beautiful car, i have only driven it about 500 kays in four years, rebuilt the engine too so could do with a run in!

i will speak to ya soon so we can talk about meeting up, i have been sick for 4 days , not at work & it's driving me mad.

[N1GTR]

Updates on R34?

Also did the R32 sell? Such a bargain for the parts and time spent

[phunky_monkey]

I think it did Steve

[giant]

yeah the r32 has gone to a new home! i love that car as you guys know lots of blood & sweat in it

the r34 is on the back burner until the r35 is complete in about a fortnight, which mark is not impressed about!

[N1GTR]

Its really gone? Oh no! Did it go to a queensland buyer or has it moved interstate? I bet you were sad to see it go

So the R34 hasnt changed at all since the last update in this thread? Ive really enjoyed reading this thread

[giant]

Yep the 32 is really gone, gone to a really nice fella upnorth in Cairns, he will hopefully be doing the superlap series next year so the car will be around, mind you it will take him a while to get his head around it as he wont be driving it as often, i think with limited driving time it will take a while to be fast in it.

the r34 should kick off again reall soon and i'll post up some stuff then with the new bits and stuff.

[Beer Baron]

post some pics of the ARC cooler and ARC header tank system I sent up! I want to see the cooooler.

[OS30GK]
