Hi everyone,

Thank you for your comments.

Here are a few pictures of the (unfinished) engine.

The chassis is a highly modified R34 chassis.

I don't own any drag track in France as there is no drag track in France at all.

For more informations, please e-mail me at :

Hmmmm FastFours or Hot4s or whatever it was might have got it wrong then, because im pretty sure they said a guy owned it who owned the only drag strip in france.

Very nice car anyways, how long has it been in development, what's the Hp & Time goals?

Hi everyone,

A few more informations :

The engine comes from a Mercedes Benz 600. It is an all aluminium 48 valves quad cam V12. It has a variable timing on the intake.

It's weight is very close to weight of the RB26 (cast iron block).

It has a Brabus crankshaft which brings the capacity to 6.9 litre

The car is built using a stock R34 shell. Around 50 meters of chromoly tubing has been welded inside. The suspensions mounts are relocated and double wishbone suspensions are used front and rear.

The tyres are 345/40 - 18 front and rear on BBS magnesium wheels.

The engine is located in central front position to make room for the front transmission.

The gearbox is a OS Giken 6 speed sequential.

The car is built like a road race car, not a drag racing car.

About the french dragstrip, unless one has been built last week, there is not a single one in this country. In any case, I don't own it.

There are a few races in France but they are organized on the straight of road race tracks or airfields.

Best regards

Luc-Michel FAICHAUD

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      By ValgeKotkas · Posted

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
