No only that - he got all the drivetrain redesigned, completely redesigned the suspension & everything about the car. (rather than the barry method of some spacers) The end result is below... However - he didnt just stop there because he wanted the engine to be a bit special. So what he thought he would do is drop a V12 Quad turbo engine in it. Now it's actually 2 RB26 Skyline GTR engines welded together to create one big V12, rather than the Skyline straight 6... I think it's easier to buy a good Ferrari instead of doing this... However... it's a perfect job, the car looks exactly like the one in the JGTC... even the wheels are the same!

LOL yes but that would make a ferrari look like a shopping cart ....

the gtr looks way better. ... best looking car ever.. other then my 180sx

Pok.

If you have the money why not buy your dream, im sure hes got a big face on his face everytime he sees it. It sure is a big effort but it looks like it was worth it

Any picture of the engine inside the car.. Coz I have seen my fare share of 1000hp skylines over here and belive me the engine bay is not large enough to take both of them with out extensive modification making the place a lot bigger... Would really like to see a pix....

And only 1 word explains this car... SICK..

there we go

engine/gearbox

Hi everyone, A few more informations : The engine comes from a Mercedes Benz 600. It is an all aluminium 48 valves quad cam V12. It has a variable timing on the intake. It's weight is very close to weight of the RB26 (cast iron block). It has a Brabus crankshaft which brings the capacity to 6.9 litre The car is built using a stock R34 shell. Around 50 meters of chromoly tubing has been welded inside. The suspensions mounts are relocated and double wishbone suspensions are used front and rear. The tyres are 345/40 - 18 front and rear on BBS magnesium wheels. The engine is located in central front position to make room for the front transmission. The gearbox is a OS Giken 6 speed sequential. The car is built like a road race car, not a drag racing car. Best regards Luc-Michel FAICHAUD enjoy, and that settles alot of my arguments.. like how stupid he was to do that with a RB26

looks mean! :x

sweet, merc v12s are awesome. I still wish he had been more pioneering and tried combining 2 RB26s into a V12, but nevertheless I'm sure this car has buttloads of torque. Would be awesome to see this baby race. Does it still have the AWD system or the Super HICAS all-wheel steering system?
