Nissan Skyline GTR Twin Turbo
Here's something you don't see everyday....
It's a Nissan Skyline GTR Twin Turbo. There's a performance shop down the street from MB Autowerks called Balanced Performance. We often use their Dyno for performance tuning. Last night Donnie and I went by their shop and saw this: Nice simple lines http://www.peachparts.com/images/skyline/skyline1.jpg Fully adjustable rear wing http://www.peachparts.com/images/skyline/skyline2.jpg Basic but functional cockpit with right-hand drive: http://www.peachparts.com/images/skyline/skyline3.jpg Fully adjustable cross-bracing in the trunk: http://www.peachparts.com/images/skyline/skyline4.jpg Here's the business end: http://www.peachparts.com/images/skyline/skyline5.jpg Excellent seating for high-performance motoring: http://www.peachparts.com/images/skyline/skyline6.jpg Balanced Performance is installing larger turbos and some other performance upgrades on the vehicle for their customer. |
Why isn't there a drooling smiley? I always wondered if it would be easier for a southpaw like me to drive one of those beasts. To get those cars in the states, these guys I've heard are the largest importers... http://www.skylinegtr.com/ Now only if I didn't have all these student loans, or I could wait for GM's new GTO, the Holden from Australia

man... all I can say is, you guys have to visit japan . I took a summer trip there, and my brother and I saw the CRAZIEST skylines there. I'll try to get some pics up, but these things were insane! I also got to see the new 2003 skyline [if anyone goes to tokyo, it's on display in the nissan building in the ginza district] and I was not impressed at all...but this is a great pic, and I'm sure impossible to find over here. god dang.

HIN
I forgot to mention... if you wanna see a buncha these, go to the Hot Import Nights show in Long beach. Last time I went, there were 10-15 skylines there. Apparently it was the skyline club or something and I think they were based in long beach, because I haven't seen them at any other HIN's. worth a shot to check them out tho

Okay, but what do you do when you *really* want some extra ponies?????:confused: :confused:

BTW, these Skylines have AWD, so whatever power they produce are easily put down to the pavement. Also, check out the redline on that tachometer - 8k! |

Check out some Skyline sites for more information... -Sam |
I'm gonna throw some pics up of the cars I saw in japan... some were cool [saw 2 badass skylines] and some were just rice.

ok... here's a few pics... the ferrari is my dad's friend's 328 GT with a tubi exhaust... I got a ride, and it's amazing. The new skyline was on display in the ginza district at the nissan showroom.

Check out the Tach
The needle starts at the 6 O'Clock position and redline is slightly past 12 O'Clock. That's the way is should be! :D :D
|
on cars modified for racing, the tachometer is usually rotated from its usual position (the usual position is with the numbers upright) and oriented with the optimal rpm positioned at 12-o'clock. This, to enable the driver to visually check through peripheral vision when to shift - it is easy to check visually when the needle is at the 12-o'clock position. This "optimal" point is usually the power peak of the engine.
on this Skyline (and other serious sports/race cars), the tach is designed with this in mind - note that the numbers are upright. |
