After contemplating it many times I have finally decided to sell my beloved R34 GTR. Throughout owning the car I have spent countless hours and money to build a car which I dreamt I may one day have as I first saw on Playstation before I even knew what a GTR was. Times change and things move on and we are moving into different areas and cars and the R34 sits in the showroom week-in week-out without being used as I find little time to drive her or think of ways of how to perfect her more.

I am advertising her here for sale on the GTR forum as I would like to hope that if she sells it will be to someone who will enjoy her as much as I have over the past 5 years and hopefully that is someone who is also a GTR nut like me.

To most the car needs not much explanation as I think without question the car was a massive indicator and turning point for the GTR and Jap industry in the UK and Europe and served as a proud statement as to what we could achieve at Sumo.

I’ve lost count of the many shows and exhibitions that the car has been to all over Europe and I think I have more than 10 magazines that she has been on the front cover of in Europe and the USA, even Japan too let alone the hundreds where she is photo’d inside or technically featured.

Performance wise I have done many things with the car, some of which I recall as:

688bhp at the wheels power ( 900bhp engine ) – DynoDynamics at G Force
Over 600 lbs torque ( cant remember the exact figure ( I have dyno sheet somewhere )
2.5 seconds 0-100kmph
5.5 seconds 0-160kmph
9.68 seconds ¼ mile on street legal tyres
215mph indicated speed on the road ( she was geared for 229mph but I never got around to keeping my foot down long enough but would have pulled it easy )
2003-2004 4WD Quickest car in Europe
First GTR to officially break into the 9’s ( 2 years ago! )
Back to back 9 second runs under competition
2nd Place and quickest Japanese car at GT Battle circuit event last year
Countless trackdays
Time Attack at Donington for 2 days straight on circuit
Endless publicity and appreciation by just about everyone who I bump into with the car
Not 1 mechanical failure in the past!

You will notice from the spec that we have changed her a little bit from the drag days, there are some parts that we have changed for drivability such as the gearbox and diffs, if the new buyer chooses we can change a few things to suit but for now she is perfect in my eyes as a daily / usable driver.

Also I can dispense advice to the new owner about settings etc for both track and drag for the car if he/she wants to use the car in competition again, I was confident that if we campaigned the car after Oct 2004 we would have seen low 9’s a month or two later quite easily.

She is now running off the wastegate spring at only 1.2 bar which feels to me around 600+ish bhp on 97 Ron BP. At this setting she was tuned by Mr Ito of Do-Luck Japan with faultless drivability and reliability. No high EGT’s, no black $hit over the back bumper and 100% reliable. If you wanted to push her back to 2+ bar etc you would have to let a UK tuner / someone else handle the ECU as we will not offer this service. The ECU is password protected by us and will not be unlocked in future outside of Sumo. You buy the car on this understanding.

If and when I have used her in the past, afterwards she is on the ramp, spanner checked, cleaned up, greased up, serviced with all fluids regardless of mileage ( in most cases after only 200-300 miles everything is changed – seriously! ), steam cleaned on axle stands outside, dried off and parked up in our warm showroom.

I want to sell her and the price reflects that - for the most recognised GTR in Europe £50,000 – No offers
If you want a test drive, bring £50,000 with you and I will let you drive her before you buy.

She has a new MOT and apart from some new owner tweaks if required, is ready to go. Any inspection welcome, bring your tuner if you want to tyre kick, fine.

Nissan Skyline eindelijk officieel naar Europa
Nissan heeft zaterdag 22 oktober op de Tokio Motor Show de GTR Proto onthuld. Deze conceptcar zal in 2007 vrijwel ongewijzigd in productie gaan als de nieuwe Nissan Skyline. Het grote nieuws is dat Nissan de Skyline nu ook via officiële import op het Europese vasteland gaat leveren. Tot nu toe gebeurde dat niet, omdat Nissan de sportauto alleen met het stuur rechts produceerde.


De Nissan GTR Concept

Ook interessant: de nieuwe Skyline is naar alle waarschijnlijkheid de eerste Nissan die breekt met de herenafspraak van de Japanse automobielindustrie. Volgens de overeenkomst regelen Japanse fabrikanten het vermogen van sportauto's af op 280 pk. De reden voor de breuk met de overeenkomst is dat auto's uit met name Duitsland steeds meer vermogen krijgen. Mercedes levert bijvoorbeeld modellen met 612 pk.

Film
Lange tijd was de Nissan Skyline het best bewaarde geheim van de Japanse auto-industrie. Dat veranderde in 2001 door de film The Fast and the Furious, waarin de sportauto een belangrijke rol speelde. Na deze film, en het vervolg 2 Fast 2 Furious, kreeg de Skyline ook een grote schare fans in Europa. Van de oude Nissan Skyline rijdt een klein aantal exemplaren in Nederland rond. Deze auto's zijn via grijze import in ons land gekomen.

In Groot-Brittannië, waar auto's ook met het stuur rechts worden geleverd, rijdt een behoorlijk aantal Skylines rond, waarvan een groot deel ook grijs geïmporteerd is. Recent besloot de Engelse Nissan-importeur de auto officieel te leveren.

Technologie
De vorige generatie van de Nissan Skyline had een motor die erg goed opgevoerd kon worden. Sommige tuners wisten het vermogen zelfs boven de 1000 pk te brengen.

Een Nissan Skyline zit altijd vol met complexe technologie. Het onderstel van het nieuwe model heeft ook weer geavanceerde vierwielaandrijving en vierwielbesturing waardoor de Skyline sportief en tegelijkertijd veilig rijdt. Als het nieuwe model een motorblok zonder vermogensbegrenzing krijgt, zullen merken als Ferrari en Porsche er wereldwijd een geduchte concurrent bijhebben.

Het is overigens nog onzeker of het nieuwe model dezelfde motor krijgt als de vorige generatie. Volgens onbevestigde berichten zal het nieuwe model een grote V8 of een nieuwe V6 motor met twee turbo's krijgen.

Ben trouwens wel benieuwd of deze Skyline net zo goed op te voeren is als de vorige.
