More like 330bhp as standard, and that can easily be bumped up to 400 relatively cheaply.

I came across an R34 a few months back, he floored it and took off like a rocket. The only other cars I've seen move like that on the road were a 996 turbo and a Gallardo.

GTS is 2wd & even quicker on a track/dry road.

Especially is the RB26 fell in by mistake!

Yep, around 326bhp as standard, advertised as 280. So easy to tune too.

Made my day that did


Always loved the Skylines.

I raced one (R33) along the A14 once. Yup. It was quick and owned me.

Fastest car I followed was a McLaren F1 on the M1. When the guy booted it from about 120, it was gone.

I got my ass whooped by a Sierra Cossie Sapphire 4x4 the other day..We were doing 80 and he was in front of me and i was tucked up behind him,then a huge plume of blue smoke belched from his exhaust and he absolutely flew away from me like i had hit the brakes..Dunno what bhp he was but it certainly wasnt standard...I just took my foot off the throttle at that point and just cruised....Fair ass whooping!
