The R34 GTR in the avatar pic isn't mine. People keep on PM'ing me asking about it, so I though I would start a little thread that I can just link to, rather than explain every time.

It was built by Kenand Lam's group (Monster Garage, in Malaysia). As far as I know it's a one-of-a-kind custom build, not an off-the-shelf kit. In my personal opinion the bodykit is out of this world, and I would love to have it on my car, except that it would be cop bait everywhere, and that it would cost A LOT.

Here are some youtube videos of it:

thught this was a GT-t as the seats and exhaust give it away.

Actually, you might be right. It's hard to tell under that mountain of carbon.

I recently heard a rumour that it was a 800HP GT-T rather than a GTR, but I don't know any more than that. There's not much info on it on the net.

I like the aggressive JGTC look. You could fit sticky tyres >325 wide under those fenders and just grip all day long. Even if some don't like it, you have to admit, you would never see anything like it on the street. At least you wouldn't get craptastic riced to the max lancers/corollas trying to race you at the lights.

I live in Malaysia for work and I have seen a few of these cars at big events like Super GT.

It is common practice here to get a GTST of GTT, do some mods, throw some stickers on and call it a GTR!! They even put the GTR badges on them. There are quite a few genuine GTR's here but most of these heavily bodykitted cars are clones and don't have the grunt to backup the look.

This look is not for me, I prefer the sleeper approach to look stock but goes like shit off a shovel, unfortunately here in KUL stickers and fake crap is all the rave.

Take my Cefiro for example, it came with a RB26 in it (why I bought it) but also came with crap airbrushing on the bonnet, cream fake leather interior, stickers all over, huge offset wheels with spacers and a really noisy exhaust. I am slowly turning it into a fast regular looking car but the odds are against me.

I have some photos that I will resize and post.

Rgds,

Grippy..

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
