1971 Skyline, rebuilt to GT-R specs using genuine GT-R components. I reckon she looks pretty hot, even if it is only a replica. It's almost R34 GTR money (wait a few weeks for the R34 to devalue another $20,000 or so and it will be!), but I reckon it's far cooler, far sexier, will hold it's value far better, get more admiration from the right people, less admiration from the wrong people and not attract too many coppers. Yeah, I want one! So, what would you take? This or an R34 GTR?

Do you think it would still look this good in the Australian outback? It just looks so at home on those mountain roads! It'd also be nice to see a little more of the interior...

I'd take a real KPGC10 over an R34 GTR anyday. That said I'd rather buy a GT-X and retrofit it with newage skyline gear.

When we came across this one in the office we ooh'd and aaaah'd for a while, and agreed that we'd all love to see it in our garages. Its about as good as a GT conversion's gonna get. Genuine KPGC10's cost about the same as an R34 GTR V Spec :D

I just love how there's an R32 and a <edit:S30> in the background in a couple of the pics.

Damn nice car. It's not rebuilt to "GT-R Specs" though, it "just" has the GT-R look. I dare say it has a fair bit more power than an original GT-R :P heh heh

A good price for all the goodies you're getting!! This over an R34 any day of the week thanks.

For people in the know, what exactly does the $7,500 go towards?? I thought there wouldn't be much to do for a 30yr old vehicle in regards to compliance.

P.S. That's an S30 not a Kenmeri.

Awesome! For me, as cool as an original one is, I'd have no interest in a fragile, irreplaceable and gutless 160hp 2 litre (even if it sounds nice) when I could have a replica with everything else and a thumping 3.1+ L motor.

And yeah I'd probably rather have that and a HR31 GTS-R, instead of an R34 GT-R.

The breakdown goes a lil something like this:

J-Spec Fee: $1000

Shipping: $1800

GST: $4700

THere's no compliance (in Victoria) or import duty necessary on a car that old, which is pretty cool. The large chunk of it goes to the tax man.

P.S. That's an S30 not a Kenmeri.

Damn, you pulled me up on it before I could correct myself... damn you :laugh:

We're goin with oldschool cool as a theme for now, as we've had a fair few requests for good quality restored japanese classics of late (fairlady's, celica's, C10, C110's, etc)... esp from cashed up collectors in the US. If the car is mint they're willing to pay the asking price of japanese sellers.

Ah! Forgot about the taxman....... damn tax man...

Good stuff. The Americans are really lapping this stuff up lately. Still don't know of any authentic GT-R in the U.S.A., but at this rate it won't be long. Be sure to let us know if something special does make its way over there (or here, as unlikely as that is).

P.S. Hyper rev group buy... damnit, no wonder my ones on ebay aren't fetching as much as they should!!! :)

When I started thinking about this I started leaning towards the R34 out of practicallity with being able to afford spare parts and because of the difference in power.

But then I started thinking of that old cartoon 'Speed Racer' and I thought this car would best suit that cartoon so I'm going with this oldskool machine.

That's a strange comparison. Why are you quoting the power figure for a totally standard S20 when the L28-based engine in the car in question is so highly modified? Talk about comparing apples to oranges.

The S20 is hardly "fragile". It is certainly not "irreplaceable" or "gutless" either.

Have you ever driven an S20-engined car?

:P

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
