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..

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
