This ER34 is built by Garage R for a friend of mine with good taste and deep pockets. The exterior gets an asethetic makeover with a R34 GTR front conversion and a East Bear aero kit.
With a GTR front, you need to be able to walk the walk. So the stock RB25 engine internals are thrown to the trash and replaced with Tomei items. With Garage R being the official HKS distributor in Singapore, the Japanese tuner is well represented on the power side of things with a Super Mega Flow Reloaded air intake, HKS 2835 Kai turbo and a top-of-the-line FCon V Pro ecu.
The result? A supercar killer with almost 600 bhp! Thats a hundred ponies more than a stock R35 GTR, in a package that is relatively light at 1410 kg (stock) versus the R35's portly 1700 kg.
The transmission is automatic for now (I heard that a dogbox is on the way...) and achieving a low 4-second 0-100km/hr sprint is simply just a matter of stepping on the accelerator when the traffic light turns green.
No launch technique required, just step on the gas and say bye bye to traffic light challengers...
Providing the Er34 with handling prowess are HKS Hipermax3 coilovers and Cusco suspension arms, while Protune 6 pots calipers in front and mini 6 pots out back provide sufficient retardation for this monster.
Helping to further plant the ER34 to the ground is the requisite GT wing. Other than the bolts, the Voltex wing is weaved entirely from top notch carbonfibre.
The cabin is once again a premium affair. Taking centre stage is a Nismo instrument cluster that goes up to 300km/hr (highly required at this power level) and 10000 RPM (which might be slightly over optimistic since even the rev happy RB26 only goes up to 8500 rpm).
HKS EVC boost controller lets the owner decide whether he wants 400, 500 or 600 bhp while HKS gauges allow him to monitor crucial stats. Check out the double din head unit, it's connected to a uber cool HKS Camp2 digital display.
Trainspotters will also notice the Garage R tuner's signature on the passenger side of the dash :)
The driver and passenger each get a Bride Low Max with carbon-kevlar composite shell. Go check out the price of one of these babies and you know that this project can be summed up simply as... No expense spared!

seen this guy around my place. he lives in toa payoh if i'm not wrong. seen his car frequently parked there. i prefer without the GT wing and offset wheels like ken nomuken's! looking to see it having the dog gearbox!
damn.
these cars are virtually non-existent here already. Love what he has done so far. awesome stuff. 600bhp at the wheels? Without the dogbox i don't see how he's not gonna shread his tyres.
