Fine Forged Progressive Spoke eh?! Love the rims but that name is mind blowingly complicated in true Japanese fashion

I guess they're 19's, but what width do they come in? 9.5", 10", 10.5" ?

Bean · 28th May 2004, 03:04 PM

Matt - all the photos that I had time to take are on that link.
I'll be taking some more soon though.

Tim - I've been asked not to touch any of the electronics until the instructions arrive...

Mark - Mine are 19x9.5 (but 8, 8.5, 9.5 & 10.5 are available. 19s only though)

WOW! Must say that´s one VERY nice car you´ve bought there! Welcome to Team Bayside by the way! About time you got yourself a R34 in the only colour that´s right!

/P

You would say that Your car and mine together would make a damn good pic for the calendar - unfortunately that'll need some photoshop magic..

Dave...time to change that avatar me thinks

skymania · 29th May 2004, 10:40 AM

It's the mutts nuts! like that rear wing

phatty · 29th May 2004, 11:40 AM

what make is the rear wing? TS? I'm not normally a fan of that type, but yours looks sweet

Bean · 29th May 2004, 12:44 PM

Thanks all

Perra - You could be right - have realised that I probably should have had Wangan Blue from January '99

Phatty - yes it is a Top Secret wing. At first I was like you and didn't like it at all - but not knowing what to replace it with meant that its stayed on for a while and now I really like it. (It's fractionally too wide though TBH). Over here they've started to make slightly smaller GT Wings so as not to upset the Law, so I may swap to that if I get too much grief.
Dave - I think I need some better pics first - maybe I could photoshop your Fuji pic and put my car in it

-C- · 31st May 2004, 08:48 AM

That looks yummy

skylineGTR_Guy · 27th June 2004, 07:03 AM

If you don't mind my asking, just out of curiosity, how much would it cost to replicate that car (parts and labor wise not including the actuall car) Also how does she perform? Knowing Top Secret, stunning, but do you have any hard numbers?

Thanks

BlueFin · 27th June 2004, 07:42 AM

Jeeze, stunner, very nice Dave.

Could seriously make a nice pie from the amount of bugs the gaping mouth could scoop up, don't let Greenpeace see it.

Daz · 27th June 2004, 10:26 AM

That is one stunning R34 ... Nice one Bean

It's a shame it's not in the UK so we could get a better look ... you'll have to do a video clip so we can hear it go

weka · 27th June 2004, 10:46 AM

Top car there Bean! Got any engine pics?

Bean · 27th June 2004, 01:31 PM

Hi,
SkylineGTRGuy - well I bought the car already built, but Top Secret only suggested the car when it was obvious that the build spec I'd asked them to quote for was quite close to the spec of this car. FYI that quote was 6 million yen just for parts, not labour....
As for performance I can only give you a subjective appraisal so far, it's very VERY fast, and not dramatic...I was doing 260kph the first day I had it, and it felt like 150.
On the dyno it has 660 PS at the wheels, 804PS flywheel estimate.
Nothing happens until after 4500 rpms though, and it's probably over 5000 when the real action starts.

Parm - lol

Daz - should be some good clips on Miguels next DVD .... hopefully

Vince - I'm a bit embarassed about the engine pics because it wasn't exactly clean when I took the shots. I'll do some more soon...when I get it back again

bladerider · 27th June 2004, 01:58 PM

OOOooooOoOOOoooOOoOoOoooo

Dave, you naughty boy !!!

Look what youve gone and made me do !!

Im sooo pleased that all the waiting and hassles has paid off and you finally have the car on your drive. Most definately welcome to the TEAM, I must say I am liking those wheels muchly tastely, if I wasnt skint and possibly facing a bill for yet another rebuild then I might be tempted to get a set.

Yet another Baysider in the 800plus club, I really am going to have to do a bit of overtime !!!

Dont forget to give Dino and Gio a kick when you next see them !!
