Julz I'm not trying to be a prick, sorry if my question came accross that way.

Like I said, I don't like seeing people getting taken for a ride. If you feel what you're paying is fair then great, enjoy the car :/

The first time you race I reckon it will be an easy win for the GTR just because the RWD GTT (even with slicks) will be a lot harder to keep straight and get the power down cleanly off the line. Where as the GTR will have that slight advantage over you. Once you get the hang of it though and can nail it down the quarter perfectly it's any ones game.

i would have bought an r35 gtr instead an happily lost.

Enjoy the car mate. I think you should be able to take this one out.

mate if i wanted an r35 gtr i would have went out and bought one

i could go to nissan to buy one tomorrow if i really wanted to but i want to drag my r34

thanks i will enjoy it.

reckon you're beast will be in some kind of car magazine in the future?

you dont see many rb26/30 these days, let alone in a mint, screaming fast R34 GTT!

lol keep goin till you hit 1k hp :banana:

lol

maybe one day

im not doing it for a magazine spread, i just wanna build a fast car really.

1000hp would be awesome and the motor is definately able to do it but i dont wanna break shit 600-700hp should be enough for what i want which is a 10sec pass with a manual and then ill eventually do the auto and go for sigle digits.

if i ever get canaried for it on the street it wont be re - registered and i will go absolutely stupid on it lol

change every panel to carbon, just have a shell, a cage, engine and wheels, if i dont need it, itll go lol

Just looking at a list of about 64 sub 10 second cars ( the 10sec list would be more relevant to this thread but Performance Car mag doesn't list them anymore) and about a third are awd (GTRs, evos, wrxs) . Nissans include:

Reece McGegor R32 GTR 7.57 @ 306km/hr

Adam Wigg R34 7.85@ 264

Robbie Ward (RIPS) 240Z 7.86 @ 285

Glenn Suckling R32 GTR 7.91 @ 291

Robbie Ward R34 GTR 9.46 @ 251

Stu Rogers C33 Laurel 9.5 @ 222

Ben Cox Datsun 1200! 9.87 @ 229

hay buddy

how many of those cars are street registered?

also i dont quite get what ur comparing here as the original question was about an r34gtt and an r33 gtr and neither of those appear on that list there (unless adam wiggs r34 is a gtr)

how many of them run on pump fuel also as both of our cars should be running on pump fuel (hopefully)

pretty sure rips r34 gtr was full trim.

The pupose of posting the list is just to show that 4wd cars can make some good times. As I said the 10 second bracket would have been of more interest to you but they don't publish them anymore. Robbie Wards 240Z had massive rears (you can see a video on the RIPS website) but the R34GTR was in full street trim but with either slicks or drag radials on about 10in rims

Few other of the above cars would be driven on the street.

Wiggs R34 is a tube framed fibreglass and carbon fibre body with a supercharged Rb30/25 with mechanical fuel injection and a 2 speed auto driving the rears only with 15 x 14 tyres. It will be going faster yet.

pretty sure rips r34 gtr was full trim.

ok

its very difficult to find any r34 drag car times on the web. i found a couple but they were both tubbed

What does "street registered" mean? Just because you have rego doesn't mean much.

it means that it will still be road driven, where as most of the cars on the list would be straight up racing cars where as mine is not. its a road registered vehicle which will be driven (sedately) on the road

the term "street registered" goes back to the classic street machine days

where a car has number plates and a registration sticker on it, and it's insanely fast/quicker/mega power

this means the car is a normal car and can drive on the road, but be quick as all hell etc etc

cars that go with a full cage, stripped interior, slicks, parachute etc ditch the "street registration" tag

what erks me is when someone says they have a "street registered" fast/mega power car

and the reason it is "street registered" is because it started out as a normal car at one point

if the owner took the car to vic roads / nsw RTA and said hey, here is my 10sec skyline

can you please register it for me, i need new plates, it is likely to fail a lot of tests and not become eligable to be "street registered".

again the same applies if you go through an EPA checkpoint or police defect station, will it pass? of course not, does it have rego? yes

Our lite weight is the only advantage we have...So I have makde it even liter on myne.( i actually thought of buying carbon doors too at one stage but its definatley street illegal in NSW )

Power up mods wont really help as we 34's be skidding when 2 much power. So to get some grip some Expensive 18 by 9inch( or wider if u can find/fit) wheels at back and nicely tuned suspension. But then again really depends on many conditions at time of race including weather and such.

Any ways good luck with the race and Hopefully you will enjoy the carbon bornet as much as i did... :)

"May the bornet be part of your Victory"

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
