Uk's Only Rb26'd R34gtt Is Finished!

[IanH]

It's back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Picked it up on Xmas Eve, had a great time in it so far but I'm still running the new engine in (it has been completely stripped and rebuilt now) so it'll go back in Jan for the last few bits to be fitted and get mapped.

Done 550miles so far with another 450 or so to go then mapping here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice car, nice engine bay

How many Skylines are there in the UK?

In Sydney for example, if you take a quick drive to the city on a Friday night you'll see around 5+ Skylines - are they that common in the UK?

Thats f**kin nice mate, car is lookin good! I'v just moved to oz from the UK and am lookin to get a skyline in the near future so thought i'd join this forum for some tips on buyin one etc. Wont see to many of them cruisin round your area i bet yer, lookin sweet

Wink - There's probably over 1000 (at a rough guess) but most are nearer the south of the UK. I've driven over 1000km's in a week and only seen one other (a very nice R34GTR in Silver).

R33GTST's seem to be the most popular, then R32/R33GTR's then R34GTR/GTT then R32GTST's being the rarest.

Wow 32 gtsts rare!!! I should ship mine over so i can turn some heads.

[funkymonkey]

did it occur to you that they're rare because they're the slowest and oldest of the ones he listed The UK has virtually no import restrictions, and the process is a lot simpler than ours, however the end-cost of importing (taxes, duties, customs etc) is a lot more than it is to Australia, so if you're gonna import, you make sure you get a good fast car to start with. R33's and R34's also have stronger factory Nissan support in the UK as they were both sold locally (grey imports, just like the R32 GTR was sold here).

SEX ON WHEELS.... I wanna do the conversion now

Latest Pictures Folks - The Mappings done and it's getting Dyno'd next week

[2rismo]

What do you mean....

The mapping is done but the car hasn't been dynoed? You didn't road tune it did you?

[IanH]

We're doing a mixture of Road & Dyno mapping - Road for the setup and Dyno for the fine tuning.

but y ?

I would have thought the engine that came in the 34 would be far better than an older RB26...

Any gains in power would be minimal I would assume.
