Nissan Skyline R34 GTR - A legend

The skyline is and will always be there in my head as one of those cloud cars, the ones really that stay in my dreams. Largely because as I grew up I was too young to afford the car with the associated insurance but always wanted one. I spent a huge amount of my youth on skyline forums and message boards, looking at new hks turbo's and rebuilt engines. A legend in japan and pretty much a legend in the uk. Commonly seen tuned over 500bhp with standard gearbox - some might say it was built to be tuned. A mechanics dream, My Dream!
