Exactly. I Bet any track weapon with 1/4 the power would own that thing on the track. There's no use having that much power if you can't stop on a dime or put it to the ground.
And I bet a jet ski would be faster than both of them across water, a Landcruiser would tow a trailer better, and a Mazda 3 hatch would be better for the shops...
give me 100,000 pounds to spend on a car and we'll see what wins.
He said it owed him that much. That'd include buying it, and the multitude of engines it's had in it over the years. But yeah, 100k (pounds!!) is a big chunk of cash.
Lol give me 100K to put into a Skyline and lets see what we end up with?
I think you're underestimating how much things cost :P

I dont have a background in cars, but I do know how much it costs to electrosil and bullet proof a single 400cc engine. If you set out with 100k to make a nice well balanced touring touring car and based it on a Skyline, I daresay that you would end up with something pretty special.

Thats not to say it would buy you a whole lot :P

Doubt you would get near 7.80 second quarters unless you can do a lot, including chassis/clutch tuning, yourself.

Still $100k on a Skyline purely from a performance persective would be fun... although has been done several times over too.

U wouldnt even come close if you were the first to build a skyline for that purpose as the guy has to that car.

That is from latest season of 5th gear. The stupid looking host in the video is the new host along with VBH. He knows nothing about cars or anything much in general it seems. He looks like a D class uk actor they have decided to use for some reason instead of tiff or plato.

sue me if its a repost, i searched and nothing.

its quite cool - dont like how they compare it to the bugatti though.

and the uk must have some pretty lax car modification laws...

still cool none the less.

actually the UK has probably the most strick road laws in the world, which is why this car actually is quite interesting, he must be damn good engineer, to have made this car be able to be daily driveable, passing UK's very strict emission laws.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
