Hi all

Newbe to your forum but been a skyline owner in the uk now for 6 yrs

Ive owned a white R32GTR started as standard then forged the engine and 650 bhp

after that i really like the R324GTR from BeeRacing. So sold the white R32GTR and began building a R324GTR. On completion i felt a bit gilty for chopping it up. So that had to go. And done a complete body off resoration of a black R32GTR with an RB28 loved that car till it went up in flames due to an electrical issue.

Decided to move on to a new car and brought an R35GTR awesome car but missed the skyline.

Now Im back in an R34GTR V-spec in silver. All i can say is ive saved the best for last.

The car has had a good life being mainly a show car in Japan for Apexi. Then imported to the uk by CRD tuning in scotland. They sold it on the a private owner who the detuned from what was then 800bhp to 650bhp whp.

and a Hi spec 2.6 and a TO4z. I have had the car now for a couple of months and the RB28 from my black R32GTR is being rebuilt after only 200 miles and a little fire.

Plan is RB28 with mild cams and a 6boost manifold, Garret GTX3582r 650-700 crank and lots of midrange.

Im posting here with you guys as im hoping to move and import my R34GTR and just love everything skyline.

But thats enough about me

    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
    • Being behind an RB25DET, we know he won't have the small box for long at all...
