I'd like to see some more information on that engine. I don't think it would be running a toyota century V12 as they were only 5.0 litres, and the stretch to 6.7 litres seems too much to me. That's a massive change in both bore and stroke to go from 81x80.8 to 89x90 - perhaps someone with some more experience in changing engine displacement could comment?

One possibility is that it might be two 6 cylinder engines bolted together using a common crankshaft? Perhaps two VQ six cylinder engines? Dunno, I'm hardly an expert on such matters.

Anyone who knows what they're talking about care to comment? Or even someone who doesn't know what they're talking about - it should be good for a laugh.

Cheers all

FFS. dont like, judge the car purely on it's merits or anything. did you click on this thread thinking "gee this sounds alright, might just be my mod" ???

"one of the fastest street car ever built". so i guess it can be streeted somewhere, just not here.

personally I think it's f**king awesome... although I did expect a bit more power, considering they make 1000hp from GTR engines... I can imagine it would be slightly torquey tho! how sexy is that flat black TT behind the skyline in one of the photos...

Mercedes Benz 600 S Class engine. 6.0 liter, stroked to 6.7 liter thanks to a Brabus crankshaft...

You serious? Why ditch the factory twin turbos for quad turbos? Seems unnecessary, especially when people are running that engine (albiet the AMG version from the SL65) to over 700hp on MBworld forums with nothing other than an ECU retune. Hillarious watching videos of the heavy-ass mercs running low 11s with no mods other than ECU tune.

yeha :P

its good to see that Australia had an input into building that car. It may not have been much but atleast they were involved i recon. The company Davies and Craig is actually an Australian company who make thermo fans and electric water pumps.

You mean : excellent electric water pumps...

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
