Oh yes!!

So I get up this morning to an invite for lunch in Freo. Now, try to avoid south of river but decided to go down. Hit the E Shed markets up after. Driving out to leave Freo, heading past the docks I spot something... it cant be, can it? IT IS!!

Mad drive home, return with camera, get some snaps. Its hard with the massive fence and cars in the way but I make do. Im waiting for my house to get raided for terror offences after poking a camera into the docks area!.

So anyhow, get to thinking... there can only be a few people in the game with the resources, knowledge and ability to get one of these in so quick. Further investigations reveal that the car in fact belongs to the team at Autowholesale/Fabcar, and I believe it will Steve Jones race car for events such as Targa West 2008, but dont quote me on that.

From what I could see, it is a gorgeous car. Aggressive, so you know it means business, but still stylish with a little class. It is definitely bigger then a 34, but you can still tell it belongs in the GTR family. Either way, I'd kill for one.

The legend is real, and the legend is here. Be afraid, be very afraid.

    • We will review wtf is going on, but if you made any donations let me know and i will follow it up with the admins
    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
