FINER6 Member 81 Member For: 20y 6m 12d Location: Mexico Posted 25/11/04 10:13 PM Share Posted 25/11/04 10:13 PM (edited) Yeah... In wheels this month there is a Stock R34GTR. And in small print is says the owner has seen 290rwkw on a chassis dyno. Now knowing there is a considerable (15-20%) loss in power through the all wheel drive train, I would estimate the true kw output at the flywheel to be around 330-340kw!!

No manufacturer will sell a 12.7 second car for less than $90,000, whether or not it actually costs that much to make it. Its all about price discrimination old chap.

The 12K was the Harrop Brakes, other cash was spent on. "Baffled Sump...oil cooler...front-end geometry benefits from a Nismo camber/caster kit...extra catalytic converters plus other stuff for ADR approval. The engine was rebuilt, but remains stock. And it had a stock exhaust???The thing is while ~330kw is high for a R34 GTR its not too far off what is rumored to be the output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
