The Fast & Furious style "smoke" is actually made by purging the nitrous lines. Hook a nitrous bottle up (illegal here, not sure where you are), with a purge valve coming out behind your bonnet which is activated by a button. You can load up the lines by opening the bottle, then purging the line by pushing your little button to activate the purge valve, and the nitrous will vent to the atmosphere instead of the engine, and create a nice little cloud. My mate has a similar setup on his big block Monaro.

yep,here right hand drive vehicles is illegal, we used here in converting it to left hand drive, like my honda ek4, just finished converting the other day, i put the skyline on the last...because this is the only first gtr here in our place...and the people who convert haven't work with skyline before...so thats why i want to start it after all my cars are finished so i could work it slowly and surely.....is there any tips guys??

I honestly don't think you will be able to convert a GT-R to left hand drive due to the layout of the turbos and the ABS (to name a couple of items that come to mind).

Would really like to be proved wrong, however! Good luck and post pics if you are successful!

Cheers

You're right - found the following link

Left Hand Drive GT-R

Got me thinking now - a GT-R in Bulgaria (crap roads 'tho!)

Its not to far to drive to Germany, perfect roads and no speed limit there .

I thought you could register right or left hand drive there ...

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      By PranK · Posted

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Anyone know what this front bar is for series 1 R33??

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....

      Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
