That thing looks sick on those mercedes wheels, I can't believe you're going to change them.

That stance...

You know, I wish I had a picture but a friend I had back in TN who was paralyzed had a customized muscle car with a roof rack that held his wheelchair. For the life of me I can't remember what car it was.

It was cool though, quite a feat of engineering the unit that handled the wheelchair too!

I have seen a similar setup here locally but on a newer model monte carlo ss.

That's too bad, I would love to msee it.

I drive from my wheelchair so I need a van with a lift. My next van will be a diesel then the fun can start.

indeed the r34 has brembo brake , it brake quite good !

R33 has the Brembos too. Only they are black instead of gold like on the R34 and the R33 ones are slightly smaller discs.

BTW from your opening post I was thinking this thing needs boost. Was happy to read later that Turbo was in the works. Very good man. I love working on anything German. Well engineered and everything is easy to get to. Also the electricals are easy too. Nearly everything is Bosch and they sort if stick to a standard formula which I am familiar with and find it easy to work around. Can't wait for the Turbo upgrade.

PBO I hope you don't expect to commute on regular basis in one of those Skylines man. If you do think you will be able to then you will be very disappointed man. I have driven a lot of Skyline GTR with those kind of HP figures and I have to say that as fun as they are they are a nightmare for a normal every day A-B commute. The boost threshold is somewhere around 4500-5000rpm and having to rev that high to get any kind of power in every day traffic is a nightmare. Also they are pretty gutless off boost. On boost they are an animal but trying to drive normally is almost impossible. Also have you driven a car with a multi plate clutch set up. If you haven't be prepared for a shock.
If you want a track car then disregard everything I said and go for it. You will be a very happy man behind the wheel of a heavily modified R34 GTR. Maybe you wouldn't want one with 500rKw as it will be a handful but it will be damn fun. Also bring a change of underwear to the track. You'll know why when it happens.

Good grief no

Unfortunately it's becoming increasingly unlikely I'll be able to buy in at the highwater mark - she who must be obeyed is taking issue with the expense...this will probably exclude GTR's altogether because I'd prefer a 34 over a 33

I may need to lower my sights to a stock Evo8 or similar & start building. Disappointing but as the saying goes "happy wife, happy life"
