stump Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Well, this ain't so much of a "start" just yet.......that will follow. The R-34 GT-R Skyline has been a favourite of mine for years. I got this Z-tune kit some time back as well... Plans were made, a doner R-32 was also sourced for the motor (don't know why Tamiya dropped the motor idea... ..) and the whole thing fell flat...lay dormant as they say... Fast forward to today......I am pleased to say, the R-32 doner kit will see completion as well.....some day........ The reason for this.....I received this in today's mail................... ....Yep, my first thoughts too.....this motor has it ALL......... Multi-piece white metal motor components, gorgeous full gasket set, inlet and exhaust manifolds, twin turbo (identical 1/24 scale) and includes a radiator AND huge intercooler..... The photo-etch set includes all gaskets for inlet and exhaust, cam gears (for race option) labels for turbos, RB26 script and loads more...... Be warned though.....they don't come cheap..BUT, the quality and quantity more than make up for that..... If anyone wants info on this masterpiece, hit me up...I'd be more than willing to pass it on... I really can't wait to get the ball rolling again on this build. cheers Greg
Foxer Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 That's a great looking mill ... can't wait to see where it will call home.
RodneyBad Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 That is a sweet looking Engine. I Love it.. But I'm faint of heart. and I have an Idea of what it could cost.. Shame to hide it in a car.
stump Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 that looks like quite the detailed piece! i'm interested in some more information on it, should i send you a PM? Dave PM sent Dave..

Yeah, they ain't cheap.....but you do get one heck of a motor to display.... A couple of guys have already talked of just displaying it alone.....It could easily stand by itself as a "build"....
09WNS/14BRK Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) that motor looks sweet man should do when finished mate Edited July 3, 2009 by 09WNS/14BRK
