- spend $60k....

 

No hes talking about the nissian skyline GT-R. Last I heard it had somewhere around 450hp stock. Its never been avialible in the states before and it is also pretty much every ricers wet dream.

 

...

 

Buy this.

All the work has been done to keep it from tearing itself apart and it is way cheaper then you could do it yourself.

 

I believe the Gale Banks(Hence the user name) twin turbo V8 like I'm putting in my 951 should handle any power requirements you need. Why the GB TT V8, 'cause it was sitting in my garage needing a car to go into when I bought the 951. If you really want to go wild check out Nelson Racing Engines. They'll go 1500hp or more. You'll probably need a new clutch.

 

Bags of money...

 

With a roots style blower on it Michael Bennett has a small video of the engine on you tube of his.

assuming the skyline is a r34 and not an r33 and is not the v-spec. it produces 276bhp.
You will not need an extra 300hp to toast him. you can do it with 350-400 assuming you put it on a diet.

ps. how the hell is it getting over? The only ones that were road legal and will pass customs are the r32.

 

They are importing them over here soon. Im not shure when, but its within the next couple of years. And its a new model not the r34. r35 I suppose.

 

You certainly can't be winning any races with your NA now, so why start racing against GTRs when they come over?

 

What is your budget?

At any rate, you are looking at an engine swap, or a different car. If you go with a different car, remember the 951 is not the only way.

 

I guess you guys don't pay much attention to what comes across the OTHER ocean...

Nissan made an entirely new Skyline for the 2008MY. It's simply called the GT-R...basically a 450HP, AWD, 3.8L V6TT. This is the kind of rice that only God (Buddha?) has.

 

I watched the video of that 951 LS1.... It just seems wrong to have a 944/951 with that type of engine note. It sounds utterly droolicious, but it's just like if you give Luciano Pavarotti's voice to Kate Beckinsale. One sounds great, one looks great, but I can't see Kate with Luciano's voice doing it for me.

 

Well if you think the 951 is nuts, try driving a 1th generation RX-7 with a V8. With narrow tires it is way out of control with the slightest throttle..and it sound entirely wrong. And then you have the Sunbeam Tigers...you really have to be a good driver to survive that car.

 

Why is it rice just because it's made in Japan? So what? Japan can make a RELIABLE 450Hp AWD car that doesnt cost over $100,000
