This is a client of mines Genuine Tommy Kaira R34 GTR, a little about this car and its features and specs.

This car is believed to be the only genuine Tommy Kaira in Australia and of less than 100 R34's ever done by Tommy Kaira.

With all original paper work showing this car went from Nissan to Tommy with 1,108km on the clock for the full overhaul and the car has been plaqued, the intake piping shows the car was 425ps after Tommy had worked their magic.

It has the extremely rare Tommy Digital Indicator System with digital speedo also, which upon speed recall shows a figure of (from memory) 382 kph or there abouts.

With only 28,xxxkm on the clock and full service history and books this car is truely one of a kind and was very exciting to work on.

Being a 425ps Tommy Kaira built GTR wasnt enough for the owner in Japan so he had a HKS Step 2 2.8 litre stroker installed with Greddy T517z turbos, KW Variant 3 coilovers, Titanium Trust exhaust, and a button activated clutchless shift racing system installed.

On hi boost this car turns out nearly 800whp and on low boost 550whp.

Oh and Ps that wing isn't for looks it creates enough down force that both mounting points have cracks in the paint around them from the boot flexing!

On to the pics!

Another rare thing is completely original glass around the whole car showing the serial number matching on each window.

THanks

What a change!

Love the badge. Its a turtle right?

Certainly is a turtle :)

May I ask how many ??microns of paint thickness there were before the application of polish?

Very nice btw :)

About 80-90

Sorry for the late reply guys

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
