That looks tasty, and I love the graphics on the spark plug cover :D :D

I'm addicted to Skylines after Simon Norris took me out in his new R34 GTR yesterday :D

I watched a few of your drifting videos, and don't remember it looked like that (bonnet, lights, etc...)

I bought his old intercooler off him, using it in my Supra. Nice chap, runs his own business importing stuff from all over the world. Stuff including, Skylines, bodykits and turbos ;) This'll make you sick - he's only about 26 or so! :D

that sumo R34 is v.sweet,,,,dont know if anyone saw it in Jap Performance Mag a few months ago...used as an everyday car too.....

Its the pinical of Jap Tuning...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I really disliked it before when it was all stickered up, but I imagine he's gonna have to do it again, as he probably has obligations to his suppliers/sponsers :rolleyes:

The cars just been rebuilt by Gary at GtART, and when it arrives at TOTB2 it should (If I remember rightly.. which I probably don't ;) ) be running at least 700bhp with a guestimated 100-200bhp of No2............................................... .................................................

How come its got a black engine bay though :rolleyes: :confused:

Did Andy buy it as a crashed car, and repair it :confused: :(

lol u don't know Nissans to well do u m8 ;)
I'm not sure I've ever seen a factory engine bay in anything except black..



P.S. quote of Andy's sig:
R34 GTR 720bhp / 525 ft lbs of torque on 'running in' low power, only 1.3 bar of boost, roll on 2 bar, then we will play!!!! Done 2500 miles so far and 720bhp is getting familiar, roll on full power!!!!

this is before 2bar and before No2 :cool:

Andy is a Quality Bloke!!! Met him several times, chatted quite a bit and he is very down to earth... Always has the time for a quick natter... he has built himself a BEAST of a car but at Japfest it was only 90% done :eek: Still has to be put to full boost and the NOS installed... This car is going to be one of the major players at TOTB2... And it is, like someone else said, is his daily driver... Now thats what its all about... Quality Mate! :thumbs:

Oh and Andy (Sumo Power) is the UK Distributer for Do-Luck Now ;)

Hi everyone, just logged in to say thanks for the kind comments regarding my R34 GTR.

Not a huge fan of joining other forums that I dont own a car for but joined as I wanted to say thanks.

The car is still not finished but as with any Skyline I dont think they ever are really but another 4 weeks should see the on going jobs finished so that we can run full power at Santa Pod very soon hopefully.

Hello to everyone whom came up to us at Japfest, the day was a bit busy for us and we tried our best to help / speak to everyone.

See you all soon I hope......
