Mark And Russ's Super R34 Build Up

[«Cyph3r»]

Guessing the 3ltr was in for superlap? Sounds quieter than a 26 in that vid.

What block did you guys end up using, just a run of the mill nissan item, one of the 4wd blocks rips sells, or some other variant?

Impressive steering in the in-car vid too

Looks like it will scare some of the american/japanese workshop built cars once the attessa is sorted!

Spotted this on the tow truck this morning?

this is awesome

[Marko R1]

ever since i saw mark & russ's previous r32gtr on ignition dvd i fell over ...this 34 however looks incredible with those custom guards

[Roy]

When is the R33 or R34s next outing?

[Marlin]

Had the 34 at Lakeside last friday Roy, I even managed a skid in it..... didn't advertise the fact as it's undergoing some changes/mods.

** this could also be considered utter bullshit and just pulling Roy's chain because I know he wouldn't be remotely jealous.

yep it's 3ltr. and was 3ltr at superlap. it's far from quiet though, but it does sound different for sure.

most of the engine is from a tomei drag car (yellow 34), but obviously rebuilt. from memory it's a regular nissan rb30 block but mark or russ can confirm that.

it should be very good once sorted. i'm currently sussing out some more events for us in japan after the tsukuba time attack. we are looking to get into some of the best motoring style 5 lap tuner battles against other jap tuned pro class GTRs. now that would be something special. also want to run the car at fuji speedway. mark reckons with the right diffs it will pull 300km+++ at fuji and I don't doubt it.

hey rich

I thought that yellow R34 got pinched when it landed in Aus a few years back. Did it get recovered?

no, but now that you know who pinched it, you're in big trouble

[wrxkilla]

lol

[Beer Baron]

lol, fark it wasn't me!

yeah you are right mate. the yellow tomei R34 along with a couple of other cars was stolen by some lowlifes when it was for sale in aus. I'm not sure how much of the full story is public and I imagine it's a pretty touchy subject but the relevant part here is some stuff was recovered. and of that stuff mark and russ bought some of the bits. not much though. mainly just bonnet, boot and some engine stuff

Just spotted the car in the *new & improved* Auto Salon magazine.

The mag is still probably not to everyones' taste, but it's got good coverage of what the boys have been up to.

Congrats to Mark & Russ - great to see the interest and support the car is generating.

i saw the dash/instrument unit from the tomei r34... it was on ebay, i thought it was a either a scam, or stolen.
