HPI R34 is for sale

[franks]

hrm...okay dave...

goodluck finding a *performance* car that has not had its arsed flogged...thats what they were built for mate. if you wanted to buy a car that hasnt had its ass flogged, you should start looking at bmw 318's or magna's or something?!?!?

and btw. knowing that this car IS capable of 300kw is bloody great! I know that the engine is running as it should be!

agree franks. At least with this car you know exactly its history! most of us with 33's or earlier that all have the trademark 60k on the clock dont know the half of it!

Just to update, the car is still for sale.

It's worth noting that the car made 230kW or less for most of the time that I had it. It only did about 3000km or so with the big turbo set-up. 300kW was actually a conservative tune, if we had really pushed it there was more power to be had. The engine is in excellent condition, as any test will show.

As for the camber question, I believe it was around 1.25 degrees negative.

You are better off with 18x9 at both ends, my set are 8-inch at the front and not the right offset for a GT-R anyway.

Ben,

Any specific reason y gtrs run equal width wheels front and rear?

Somone on the forum mentioned it was due to the need for the wheel diameters of the front and rear wheels to be equal for the attessa system to function properly. (Front and Rear wheels need to be travelling at same speed)

But i would imagine...with careful calculation of tire profiles, equal diameters would still be achievable, while allowing for a wider rear tire (since a gtr is rwd most of the time?)

[benhpi]

Yes, you do need equal rolling diameters. I have seen GT-Rs with different-size wheels front to rear, but since the guards are designed to suit same-size at both ends, why not fit them? Unless you make the rear guards much larger, you will be compromising the front, rather than improving the rear, if you see what I mean

[usuckpoo]

Yeah man i get what u mean...

Thanks for the explaination!

Good luck with the sale...

what r u getting next?

Something with an RB20, not necessarily an R32
