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?

what is the engine sourced from? and also is the car made of a tube chassis (so in other words its liek the proper drag cars) or based on the R34 chassis?

also france seems to have a few drag strips... http://www.francedrag.com... sif you'd believe anything a fourbanger mag tells ya :cheers:

I'll add them to my growing list of innacurate "near enough is good enough... they'll still buy the mag!" tell-a-few-porkies-for-more-sales crap Aussie enthusaist mags.

Someone's not feeling the love...

Just say it Rezz, just say you hate Australia, Just burn everything about it & prove why Japan is so much better, do it man, let it all out, we all know you hate Australia! Lol. j/k m8 with the half truth behind it

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

don’t believe it...until I see some engine shots and some specs...otherwise their is no point in posting up a outside photo...same as me posting up a photo of my car from the outside and saying a have a 2000hp gtr motor in it...

BET U FEEL A BIT OF A PLANK RIGHT NOW !!!

    • @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline  
    • Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.
    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best. 
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
