R.I.P.S R34 GT-R...

[Christopher]

I've been following this build since the start, and the guy (a well known sportsman) just got the car back on Monday.

Basically, he imported a used GT-R from Japan, then crated it off to New Zealand for "some fettling"

The attention to detail is boggling. Truly.

That's the page which he gets it back. The whole build is there though.

He's yet to drive it though! Sensible, given the weather and 600bhp at the wheels.

 

[Si]

that's p**n. will have to check this out.

 

[Feirny]

Who is he then?

The car looks immense, thanks for making me read this at 1.30am!!

9th of feb 2007 until now!!!

he is a craftsman though, thats proper welding, make note people!

 

[MaLicE]

i know of someone with a ripz rb30 lump in a skyline, shifts is an understatement lol.

 

[TooneySonic]

thats nice, little bit fast and the furious but i suppose thats the point

Its worth reading the thread just to see the welds, amazing quality

 

[fUbAr]

meh, average.

 

[Scutch]

ST3LTH FTW

Awesome build, but if I was given the choice on looks between that and a stock R34 in that pretty blue colour, I'd take the latter. Respect to the guy, though.

 

[R20 CWH]

hmm nice.

love it

+1 a man with taste stock blue for me....
sorry about the size

 

[Englebert]

Wow, blue one looks ace! Much better to be fair...

I'd be relieved just get the black one back from NZ safely! Can't believe he won't drive it in the wet though...lol.

 

[Timmay]

nice altho that blue one above is pretty sexual

 

[Christopher]

Bayside Blue... and yeah, it's nicer-looking than the RIPS car. Especially that one above with Nismo bits.

Although it does look evil as fcuk!

There was a RIPS crate RB30 engine on eBay a while back, too... god knows how much the auction ended at!

Torque is the killer with the RB30... fcuking stump pullers!

 

[Scutch]

That bayside is f*cking beautiful. I would so love one of those

 

[ben_p]

whos is this guy?

 

[Christopher]

Mark Wilkinson

Newcastle Falcons IIRC

No one knows the total bill... LOL

 

[The Boosh!]

f**k a Duck look at this turbo

 

[Christopher]

I know LOL

Veilside's R34 uses two that are only slighltly smaller than that! 1500bhp+ though

 

[B5 BDJ]

that turbo is massive, nice build.

 

[willcrook]

expensive :O

 

[Mark One]

which page is the manifold build on. That is fooking art.

 

[Mark One]

properly not fcuking about!

 

[The Boosh!]

that looks amazing. the build quality is immense

 

[Christopher]

Fabrication p**n

 

[Ali]

Awesome work..>Rank car. Put that lump in the 240z....Now we're talking!

 

[lewisniven]

thats incredible.

must of cost a fortune tho.

 

[Ste#70]

WOW.

what else can you say.....them welds....deary me.

 

[James.]

FOOK! thats MINT!

 

[Ja5on]

been fallowing it too. Awesome build, looks the b****cks

 

[Duck]

Great work, but not my cup of tea. Seen other BNCRs that i'd rather have.

He's a rugby player right?

+1 a man with taste stock blue for me....
sorry about the size

That Lee Manning's car?

 

[Savi]

I'm going to keep a look out for that!

 

[mini_nick]

Just spent an hour reading through all that! very interesting - brave man! interested to see how he finds driving it! sounds lethally quick!

 

[Munson]

That thread has more win inside than any other I've seen. Just got to the page with the youtube videos. Damn those boys know how to glue metal together too!

 

[Munson]

Immense sound :approve:

[ChrisPearson]

Nice build but looked better standard

 

[Munson]

Agreed, I'm not a huge fan of the external looks either, but as a machine, it's amazing

0-130mph in 10 seconds too.

 

[Christopher]

If i had the money, and i owned that Bayside Blue one, above... i'd crate it off there myself!

 

[hammy77]

R34's for the win.

Love skylines!
