The white one runs 12.2 sec 1/4 mile, the black one runs 12.6 1/4 mile and the Yellow runs flate 13sec 1/4mile.

Blew transmission on the white one Rb26dett AWD, the black one had to replace the clutch to nismo dual clutch as it starts to slip around 12.7 sec 1/4mile, both are GTR RB26dett AWD.

The Yellow one is mine, I love my Z and my Ca18det pulsar.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Shop here in town...



I didn't take those pics, but that's just a sample of the cars they work on. They also have a Mazda RX7 Spirit R with 9 original miles on it. I'll go down there and see if I can get some good pics of their stuff. The owner of the shop just finished his R32 GTR, it's pretty badass.

That last pic you've got up of the the back of the engine REALLY shows how similar the CA and RB are. Ignoring the twin exhaust and front diff input, I wouldn't have known it wasn't a CA18DET.

As I understand it, because of the firey downfall of MotoRex, the only Skyline that can be fully US legal is the R33. Apparently, it is the only chassis that was subjected to the EPA/NHTS testing and such, and that the info for the 32 and 34 was falsified.

Hehe, finally someone else who gets to play with Gtrs apart from me :D

My Good friend Rorys. 387rwhp, 12.0 with a slipping clutch and blowing the intake seals on his turbos.

A friend from perth 34 v spec II. just had the motor rebuilt, we were putting it back in.. last dyno was a 480 and low boost and a crappy tune.

My housemates Eons 32 gtr 417rwhp at 1.1bar with a HKS Ta45, Hks cams, hks exhaust mani, hks 50mm external gate, power fc, 800c sards and a bosch 044 pump, all the usual ****. proves that lag is not good for drag racing, did a 12.1.Rorys is the silver one, Eons is the Dark grey one.

And last but not least, Petes 33 gtr v spec 1. 525rwhp, 11.3 seconds from memory.. garrett turbos, full rebuild, you name shes got it.. cams, pistons, rods, power fc, injectors, fmic, the lot. shes a beast at times, 1st car i been awd drifting in at the track.

i got a few others, but i can't find any other pics. sucks.

Pete

You can bring any car to Canada no questions asked as long as it is 15 years old or older, thats way tons of JDM companies are now shipping the R32 1989-1990.

Sweet, I own land in P.E.I. Maybe I will move up there in a few years when the R33's and S14's can start being imported

Oh, and Rico... it's Projekt 7 Tuning here in Daytona Beach. They assemble all the cars for Evolution Imports.

beautiful cars everywhere! i personally like the R33 the most of all the skylines, r34 - a little too boxy. r32 - not my taste. and no doubt that they are all beasts but the r33 is my fave

The R32 isn't my taste, but the R34 is my favorite out of all of them.

A company here in Canada have an R34, they brought it as a show car, and they pay for a yearly license to keep it in Canada, they want to sell it for around 50K I believe, but wow what a mean, lean, sweet looking machine.

The r32 grew on me like mold on bread. I used to like the r33s the most, but they look so fat to me now, the r34 is a pig too, and the r32 is underlooked, and looks so sharp, so many crisp lines. mmmm.....it's got character, and the 33 doesnt have it.

my friend has 2 dr30's

but up here in canada laws are coming down hard on importing cars from japan. they are being a$$ about windows, headlights, bumpers and so on and so forth. they will still allow them into the country but insuring them is going to be a ***** soon.
