Was driving my R35 in Gold Coast, QLD last night. R34 pulls up and I could tell immediately he wanted me to give it a little.

My girlfriend was in the car, so I couldn't. If she wasn't, I would have only punched it to the speed limit then stopped, don't worry guys.

To my surprise, the R34 simply tails behind. Like he was stalking me. I just assumed he wanted a good look to the new model.

I was wrong. He eventually gave up waiting for me to give it some, so he took off without me.

HOLY SHIT. It was spraying rubber. He literally had a few little chucks of rubber fly from his tires on to my windscreen. His R34 would have absolutely demolished me if I had ever given it some.

He had a shaved head, the R34 was loud, smokey, little bit scary, no rear spoiler, some sort of roll cage, white and I found a new respect for the older generation R34.

Thank you, R34 driver.

Nice to see that you take your own advice after the lectures you deliver Richard :yes:

Hi Terry, I'm not sure what you mean by lectures I have given?

To the others, no, I won't think I am safe.

this thing spat rubber. Was that insane. Do you think it was built as a drag car or something? No spoiler and all.

Rule #5 from the CEO of vroomvroomvroom.com says "Be entrepreneurial within your own idea" and not digress too much > You stayed within your own realm of an R35 and did not get tempted to take on a hawt R34 GT-R hehe...

Old thread but was this at the back of Carrara, EVERYTHING about this says it was me....

I was driving back to Brisbane from Surfers. Looking at google maps, it looks like I need to pass through Carrara to get there. So yes, it most likely was you. Was that a roll cage? No spoiler?

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.

      I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
