Richard's GT-R thread, old and new!

[Dark_Hero]

You won't be driving it though

[Skoda_Saint]

True. But sitting in the passenger seat is good too.

 

Also you don't need so much power or specific car to scare you or keep you on your toes.. its about finding your own poison.

[DarrellGB]

The engine is already in another Skyline... tempting but too late.

 

Pub talk pic...

 

Never seen a graph like that before!! Crazy figures though, that must be a tad bum twitchy to drive!!

[BossFox]

Gulp...

 

Looking forward to it?

[Dark_Hero]

It's something I could have only dreamt about I can't wait

[BossFox]

So after a holiday and being focused on the Yeti, I went and picked up the R32 Skyline GT-R today.

 

Holy cow, it's an absolute beast!

The way it spools and the grunt is staggering.  So little lag for a 400bhp car, never mind a 600+ one.

Give it the beans in 2nd from about 3,000rpm and it squirms slightly as it deploys all the torque and shoots you up the road like a rocket.
Properly quick and feels bonkers, noticeably faster and more aggressive than my 600bhp R35 was.

It's completely transformed from how it was before at 520bhp.
It might have gained about 100bhp and 50lb/ft but the spread of power and the way it goes at just about any RPM means it behaves like a completely different car.
Feels so much quicker.

And best of all it's still nice to just potter about it.
Not too loud, not a handful.

Absolutely top work by RK Tuning, I am over the moon!  
Amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

Charlie, you're going to love it.

It's like pushing the hyperspace button on the Millenium Falcon.  Everything just shoots past you. :peek:

Just over two months...

[Dark_Hero]

Brilliant. Sounds like an entirely different beast since I last had a ride.

Can't wait to experience the way it drives and the tour. It's going to be incredible

[BossFox]

100 miles, 7.4 gallons.

That's quite a lot...

And that's fairly normal driving in and out of work.

[Wardy]

13.5MPG? Nice work

[JoshH]

100 miles, 7.4 gallons.

That's quite a lot...

And that's fairly normal driving in and out of work.

Reminds me of the M3!

[Chris GB]

What compression ratio are you running?

[BossFox]

Picture from when I was on a photo thing the other day.

 

[BossFox]

What compression ratio are you running?

 

Not sure off the top of my head but getting a bit too much soot on the back so it's running rich.

Should be able to do 18mpg on a run apparently.

[BossFox]

After a mad moment I bought this today.

It's currently on the way to the UK and should be here in a month or so.

Here at F1 Prestige Group we have the pleasure to offer you this amazing opportunity to own one of the greatest Japanese production cars of all time. The Nissan Skyline R34 GTR M Spec. Please note this is probably one of the finest examples left in the world. Being one of the highest spec R34's from the factory included with heated front seats as well as Nissan only produced 228 in this colour therefore this vehicle is a rare model due to the very few manufactured. Overseas customers are also welcome as we provide World Wide Shipping as well as we provide transportation by road.


The paintwork is excellent condition for its age of this vehicle and when its detailed the vehicle is in showroom condition. Interior is in great condition with hardly any sign of wear to the seats or carpets, It is very rare to find clean examples of M Spec R34 models like this with a huge engine specification as well as genuine low mileage with service history records to prove and many invoices for all the work carried out.


These R34 GTRs are becoming extremely difficult to locate and they do not come up for sale that often and when they do they are sold straight away as they are very rare even in Japan. This R34 GTR is very special and is one of a kind, We can assure you it will be very hard to find another R34 better then this one. Being highly modified is one thing however being a M Spec model and highly modified means its extremely rare and unique because there isn't many modified M Spec models available for sale across the world even in Japan.


Driving this masterpiece makes you speechless, The sensation gives you a sudden feeling of excitement and pleasure towards the fire spitting beast which leaves you grinning ear to ear, The G Force is truly mind blowing and once it is in full boost you are pinned down into your seat until you come off the accelerator, its similar to taking off in a jet and is truly mind blowing. This R34 on 1.8 Bar Boost is estimated at around 800PS and on High Boost at 2 Bar its estimated just over 850PS.


The owner in Japan is a Famous Pro Race Driver and only used the vehicle on special occasions and weekends. The engine build was done by mechanic who used to be head mechanic for N1/Group A GTR race team and mapping was done by Technos who is very famous for mapping top speed build cars in Japan. They also used to map vehicles for HKS and Amuse Tuning in Japan who are well established all over the world for there Japanese high performance vehicles they build and race.

What we love about this R34 is its in stunning rust free condition inside and out, underneath is very clean as well, All modification parts are new and nothing is old. This R34 GTR has never been taken to a race track, so it's not been beaten up like other track cars. The owner spent over £60,000 on this vehicle and the power is truly mind blowing. This vehicle is literally in brand new condition and was only used on special occasions as you can imagine.

[Ally_bassman]

WOW.

The R34 is my favourite GTR. You don't see many un-molstered examples or ones that are being used for drift mules!

 

Lovely. I wonder who the Japanese Pro race driver is????

[vrsRob]

Party in my pants right now.......     :love:  :love:

[BossFox]

Party in my pants right now.......     :love:  :love:

 

When it's here I'll bring it to the Maidstone meet so you can have a ride/purve.

[VRS Mike]

very tidy!

Gold member........................

 

 

 

I think Auric will be a bit green...............

 

 

So basically because the cat is out of the bag on the Yeti RS, you thought "how do I shock & Awe when overtaking people on the race track?.................oh I know GOLD..."

 

Seriously though are you seeing a shrink?.................  .............. :p

[Wardy]

Good grief.

 

Awesome    :clap:

[domtemp]

That R34. Wow, just wow.

I must say I do like your style. Make a car fast and don't alter the styling.

[ninjacj]

I admit I was a bit dissapointed when I first learned you owned a R32 and a R35 but no R34, but you've made up for it big time buying one of this Calibre!!! So are you changing your occupation from "Skoda Collector" to "Skoda and Skyline Collector "?

[ninjacj]

Also, may I ask what personalised registration you have planned for this?
