Default Nissan GT-R R34 Skyline Z-Tune (2005)

http://www.channel4.com/4car/road-te....html#followOn

Wow, back from the dead and about to kick some serious ass.

2.8 Inline 6
500 bhp

Just what you need to be driving before the new GT-R comes out. So my guess it that it'll have even more than 500 bhp.

Go!!!

Ģ84,000 for a used Skyline? Any R34 can be pushed easily to 500hp.

Anyway, this car is no indicator for the output of the new GT-R in any way.

You get 500HP from a Skyline by a new exhaust, a better air intake and a new ECU.. You get a 1000 HP by changing the turbo.. You get 1300 or so by a stroker kit .. 2.6 to 2.8

Although most probably the new skyline will be based on Infinity G35. it won't look as good as the R34. That car is simply a monster on wheels..

To expensive but this car isnīt only a Skyline with a revised engine is more like a road legal JGTC machine.
I think here there are at least a video showing it on the īRing and some article about many months ago.

Cmon this is such old news, im sure there is a thread about it on here, its atleast 6mths old.

All these cars have ~20000km on the clock not exactly new... if u want a Skyline GTR just come down under we have soo many of them its not funny.

This car was made specifically by Nismo's GT500 team. There goal was to make a car that you could take to the track and abuse for 30 minutes and then take home. You could get all those power numbers that Evo mentioned but it wont last 30 minutes. Only 20 are made and for the price I think its a bargain, I wish I could own that car. Most reliable street/track car EVER

I do think this car is awsome but save the cash buy a standard GTR and spend the savings on modifing the crap out of it and you'll beat just about anything
