This is configured with a larger pair of Nissan airflow meters and SplitFire ignition coils. The rev limit is set at around 9500 rpm. Boost pressure is controlled by a Blitz electronic system. With the previous owner focussed on running some fast quarter mile times, the AWD driveline was beefed up with a Hollinger gearbox teamed with aftermarket diffs for maximum strength and traction. However, since coming into Robert’s possession, the car has had its standard 6 speed ‘box refitted along with the standard diffs – this makes it a much more streetable machine. A 4-plate OS Gikken clutch ensures there’s no driveline slip but pedal pressure remains manageable.<a href="http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_3mg.jpg" target="_blank">http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_3lo.jpg</a>Robert tells us he was attracted to this car because he knew it had only the highest quality parts and had been properly tuned by the team at Sydney’s Croydon Racing Developments. But just to be on the safe side, Robert ordered an engine freshen up using JUN rods and forged pistons (keeping the standard static compression ratio) along with milder JUN camshafts. A 9 litre sump helps ensure engine longevity.Boost pressure has also been eased to around 2.0 Bar (29 psi) and with conservative timing and fuelling, the car has recently punched out 425kW at all fours on Croydon’s Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno. The previous set-up saw over 500kW at the treads.The suspension and brakes have been upgraded to cope with the extra grunt. The already impressive factory Brembo brake arrangement now employs slotted discs and Pagid pads, while the suspension is tightened up with adjustable coil-overs and an ARC front tower brace. Note that the R34 GT-R is also a much tidier handler than the R32 model – its active AWD system is much improved and controllable. <a href="http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_6mg.jpg" target="_blank">http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_6lo.jpg</a>Robert admits he was also drawn to purchase the car because of its appearance – and who could blame him?! The rare purple chameleon paint (which has recently been freshened-up) is a real eye-catcher, as are the 18 x 9 and 18 x 11 Racing Hart rims wearing 255/35 and 275/35 Falken rubber. Other subtle touches are the carbon fibre mirrors, Nismo side skirts and front bar - and we mustn’t forget the Nismo Z-tune fluted bonnet that set back the previous owner a cool AUD$10,000! <a href="http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_4mg.jpg" target="_blank">http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_4lo.jpg</a>Inside its pretty much R34 GT-R, which means there’s big bear-hugging seats and a trick LCD centre display for various engine parameters. The only change is a shift light and a Nismo 11,000 rpm tacho/300 km/h instrument cluster. <a href="http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_10mg.jpg" target="_blank">http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_10lo.jpg</a>Robert tells us the engine has all the ingredients to run a 9 second pass but, unfortunately, the clutch blew when the previous owner made an attempt in its previous 500+ kW ATW guise. The best time it ever managed was a 10.8, which is way off its real potential. Robert guesses the car should currently run another 10 second pass given its less aggressive tune and stock gearbox. But whatever the case, Robert isn’t too keen too push the limits of this car - he’s got another machine that he likes to push to its limits...Did we tell you about the 8 second quarter mile Nissan 200SX that resides in the garage alongside the Porsche and Skyline?</blockquote>
