R33 GT-R debut !! R32 vs. R33 racing car showdown 【Best MOTORing】 1995

In 1995, the Skyline GT-R was fully remodeled to R33 type. The drive system "Atesa E-TS" which is the biggest feature is equipped with an active LSD that distributes torque even to the rear left and right wheels in addition to the front and rear torque distribution.

The Wildest R34 Skyline GT-R : Garage Ito With Prostock

This is about as wild of a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R as you will ever see. Dino Dalle Carbonare posted up this awesome set of pictures on this insane R34 at Speedhunters.
Why do I call this the wildest R34 ?

It cost a massive $350,000 to build and has yet to see the light of day on a race track. It all started back in 2006 when Hiroya-san, a very good customer of Garage Ito in Osaka, decided to see if he could challenge the lap time record at Tsukuba set by the HKS CT230R.

350k and it hasn’t even run. From the looks of it, its close to running, but just needs a few finishing things to turn a lap.

If you looked at a lot of GT-R’s you would realize how far set back the engine was. If you know GT-R’s you would also know why this is so difficult.
Heres a different angle from the World Challenge R34. Same titanium Nismo stut tower brace. Look at the relationship of the front cover to the strut tower brace in the Prostock car.  The further you can put the weight behind the front axle, the more responsive the car will be. And that leads to the next item…the front axle.
