Racepace Built R34 Gtr Nur Rb28 V-cam

[maq23]

I remember months ago seeing and driving next to your car from westall road all the way upto princess hwy. Looked ABSOLUTELY amazing. Back then i hadnt discovered this thread but could tell there was some awesome insane shit done to it from seeing the massive brakes poking out of those te37's. Also the exhaust note on this thing is just soo effing beautiful. i had to wind down my windows just to get a better listen.

I think you were getting annoyed with me trying to stay close to your car to get a better look, i was in a honda accord at the time.

Congrats on the car man.

I don't think it is Matts, wish it was though. Your car Matt, is more than magazine worthy, and I wouldn't be suprised to see it in a mag soon!

It looks like the GTR in PI is Pentroofs GTR, it has a black rear wing, white side mirrors and the engine looks different apart from that it is very similar to Matts.

Any updates Matt? pics or VIDs (I think everyone is dying to see and hear this beast in action!) Unbelievable car you have!

[Mohsen]

^ what he said. bought it. opened it. realised it isnt matts. f**k!

Hey all,

I haven't updated for a while now and I am very excited to see this thread has over 50,000 hits!

I have been waiting patiently for the final two modifications to be fabricated and I am glad to say that they are finally ready to be installed.

First is 'another' carbon clad custom steering wheel to compliment the other carbon interior pieces that I have acquired. I am sure you recalled in previous posts that I had already ordered a trick custom carbon steering wheel from Robson in Singapore. Well, it turned out that the steering rim was a bit too thick than what I would like, so it was back to square one to search for an alternative.

Again, I delved in the treasure chest for JDM goods - Yahoo Japan, and discovered Jastec Design. It is small company in Japan which specialises in bespoke tailor made steering wheels for a wide range of cars. Judging by the photos on display, the craftsmanship is outstanding. Its a bit of blind faith ordering anything online, as the finished product may not always meet expectations. With the assistance of Import Monster again, I took the plunge and secured an order with a manufacturing time of 50 days.

Judge the quality by the photos below:

I have not had a chance to install steering wheel yet. I will post pictures when its in place.

The Tein RS suspension is the last remaining mod that I had been planning for months. Racepace had received the revalved shocks from Fulcrum in QLD, using Racepace own R & D. Custom top hats also had to be custom fabricated to fit the Eibach springs. The spring rates are unkonwn to me at this stage, but Chris from Racepace tells me that the set up will be in between a race circuit car and a targa rally car. The suspension will be installed next week.

Just a reminder what Tein RS's look like:

Looking forward to seeing what the wheel looks like installed

[tangomatt]

Steering wheel installed! The photo does not do it justice. It certainly makes the spartan stock interior looks more upmarket

I think that just about satisfies my carbon fetish!

[Ashy Larry]

Looks fantastic Matt.

[NA_Goodness]

You made a good choice with that one mate, suits it perfectly! Well done

Stop giving Racepace things to do on this car I can see it now when they walk out of the office after their morning coffee... "Should we work on Matt's mint GTR or Troy's shitter GTSt full of ill fitting parts and seized bolts?" ... lol one day my car will turn a wheel in anger again

Once you get the shocks in the thing will have to be close to R34 perfection. Just to get out there and start giving it a punt on the track at whatever speed you are comfortable with

wow, good stuff mate, i cant wait to do a build like this in the next few years, at the moment im stuck overseas and unfortunatly colombia doesnt import gtr´s to start it hehe.

but following your thread has been a pleasure, it looks alot like one thats for sale in western australia on carsales. love the gaurds and the wheels.

Looks great.

[natett]

Cudos mate. You have now built the ultimate street track weapon! Time to get it racing and see how this thing goes.

Hopefully the supra will be on the market in a month or so and i can start my next project

Not corny at all Matt. While you can get a lot of enjoyment from building and driving a car, sharing the progress of a project build with others who are like minded is equally as fun and rewarding.

Believe me, we are all hanging out to see some video of the car too. There isn't any youtube vids youve posted up here that ive missed already is there?

Cheers,

Ian.

[PM-R33]

Nah there is nothing yet. Trust me, I have been patiently waiting for them

[Richard Clark]

Love the project !

[Bangaz Boy]

Steering wheel looks awesome Matt, great choice! Dying to see some vids of your car, please end the suspense!

Come on Matt...

The World is waiting to see the beast in motion.
