Nissan Skyline R34 GTT

Project skyline—the history since auto day

My first though is to run a new style semi auto box, after some deliberation I decide on a brabus 101 roadster

Remapped, with major mods, its pushing out 138 bhp, handles like a dream and is rear engine rear wheel drive

I find virtually all semi auto cars auto change up—a killer on track time

 

Pros—looks, sound, handling, roof

Cons—build quality and reliability, stupid autochange gearbox, expensive and rare tuning

Following some medical issues, I find myself unable to use a clutch– big track limitation

Next I ran a massively modified Mitsubishi FTO GPX. The FTO is a gem of a car, beautiful, sounds lovely and has a great user community

Sadly its underpowered in the mid range, I almost went for a gallant VR4 twin turbo conversion but more power through the front wheels wasn’t doing it for me

 

Pros—looks, sound, handling, reliability

Cons—lack of power, aftermarket parts limited and expensive, FWD

Mitsubishi FTO GPX Mivec

And here we are

The skyline is quick, has massive tuning potential to far exceed what I want to achieve

A brilliant geometry, strong and simple mechanicals make this a dream car, once I found out there was a non auto changing tip I had to have one ;)

Pros—power, tenability, build quality

Cons—tbd, cost and frequency of servicing, size
