Yea this things going to be an absolute monster and apparently they're trying to hit the drift scene with it according to the HPI magazine the photo was in. They were saying something about looking to hit around 400+rwkw mark and who knows how much torque it'll have... Its good to see something different every now and again.

oops...just presumed. The engine bays are quite alike, only noticeable difference I can tell is the position of the two plugged holes on the drivers side strut tower.

Are you kidding me, what the R34 lights dont give it away that it is infact an R34.....uses a GTR shell, and is built impeccably, the boys have not screwed around, this car is gonna munch tyres like nothing. A semi-worked 5.7ltr Ls1, twin turbo's and custom ASE intercooler, radiator and oil cooler setup.

Plus a totally original bodykit thats gonna make you blow all over grandma's skirt, just wait till this thing goes public

Like I said I presumed. This thread was made not so long after Autosalon & there were a couple R33's with R34 fronts & thought George might have followed the trend when I first saw it with the aftermarket kit. Also, a 2door R34 isn't the most obvious platform for drifting compared to a R33 or a 4door Skyline.

Ahhh nice photos there chops me laddy, I walked into that BP where Theo and George were filling up last sunday, walked out to see that, and asked was that it...... as in the first time it's seen the road, and he said yup this is it! I was rather gob smacked! Now that is THE BEST 34 I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! How Jap touring car does it look? Just awsome!

And not too mention that it really should be a weapon on the drift circuit with the LS under the hood, and a chassis that can handle!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
