I know this is ‘Skylines Australia’ – but I also know that all of us appreciate the legendary Skyline GTR wherever it may be. This thread is an opportunity for me, on behalf of Jash Krishna, to showcase his MINES built and tuned – 2001 R34 GTR V-Spec II .


This GTR has been given the complete MINES treatment by its previous owner. It has a Stage 2 MINES Engine (630Hp) and has installed NISMO S-Tune suspension and a Brembo 6 Piston brake package...and so much more.

‘I FLY’ now calls the beautiful Fiji Islands its home. It gets treated very well by Jash and has the upmost respect on our roads. Jash fuels this car with Gull 98 which is specially imported into the country. The car shares its garage currently with a Toyota Supra which was a demo car for Alpine Japan.

Fiji might be known to some as one of the friendliest tourist destination spots in the world; however our car culture is starting to emerge with talent attracting international attention. We currently have 3 BNR34, one of which is a Bayside Blue Nur spec.

Okay, enough talk – I leave you all with some shots of Jash’s GTR. Hope you all enjoy :)

Beautiful car mate,

what are the roads like in Fiji?

Thanks buddy.

The roads are pathetic. We have some beautiful coastal scenery but alas, the roads are not up to the task of being worthy for such cars. There are certain pieces of tarmac where the car gets to stretch its legs :yes:

The Kings Hwy, Queens Hwy and main cities/towns are all near the coast Raj.

What do you do to stop the salty air from accumulating? Rinse, rinse, rinse...?

Queens Hwy is the 80% coastal - you will go through Villages and main towns on this road. (Suva, Sigatoka, Nadi and Rakiraki are all coastal towns). Kings Hwy will take you through rain forest's (Suva - Rakiraki) - excellent 4WD-ing.

That being said, the towns/cities are located not as close to the sea. Rinse, rinse, rinse is always the safest option :)

Been to Fiji, Terry?

Hey mate beutifull car! Will be in fiji next year in april would love to meet up and check out your cars

Thanks buddy - I'll pass your comments on to Jash. The boys back home would love to show off our rides and see what you all think :)

he has to go down that driveway every day? ouch!

beautiful car

That driveway was rebuilt in concrete for the GTR. Approach angle in the pic looks far worse then it actually is (pic was taken like that on purpose I think)

I was born in Lautoka, still have family there.

How the hell do you afford such cars LOL. Would hate to drive it there though, Sydney is bad enough!

Congrats on the purchase mate. If I ever win lotto I'll get something similar :P

Mate! Your Fiji born :cheers: This car is from Lautoka - haha. As I mentioned, this car belongs to a good buddy of mine, Jash. He has owned some pretty awesome cars - WRX STI, Supra, GTR, etc etc..

Ah yes, the lotto - Im also looking forward to that day :P

love everything bar the steering wheel :P

:)

In all, thanks for all your comments guys - appreciate all the positive comments. :happy:

Raj,

Does Jash have to stay within 200Km of home with this remarkable car and thus refill with the Gull 98?

Do Fiji roads have corrugations outside of its home city? If so, how does the S-Tune suspension handle them?

Wow mate, it's been said and I will say it again ... Beautiful car! Aesthetics, mods, colour ... the list goes on. Absolutely fantastic! I think we should come to Fiji for a visit ay.

Jash rarely goes outside Lautoka. However, he does have problems waiting for the fuel to arrive.

The S-Tunes are definitely not suited for Fijian roads, he drives it on the main roads in and around town. My mates and I run a small online community of motoring enthusiasts on Facebook - and I will get them to get me some photos of roads/cruise pics/events that we organize so I can share them. :thumbsup:

Very nice car. I think the previous owners name was Nick. There is a decent build thread on this car on the Pommie GTR forum.

Yep. Previous owner was Nick from GTR UK forums. Well documented thread.
