LOL, ya, we did not build this car. From where I read, this car was built in Australia. I personally think the car's pretty cool. While Mike Peters was a part of the shop, the only thing that I agreed on is his motor selection. I am very drawn towards the LS1, big potential and PLENTY of available parts for the motor. TQ owns all.

I don't believe this car is still AWD, unless he has a custom transmission. I would personally kick the owner in the nuts for ruining a perfectly good skyline. The skyline's AWD platform is the backbone to that car's handling characteristics. The RB is a very capable motor and with the RB the car is AWD. I don't understand the purpose of a LS1-TT, how the hell do you expect to control that thing? The swap on the other hand is very clean and put together well. It's a neat idea but I don't like it, I don't like at all.
Anyways, thats an awesome project. Duel master cyl for front/rear brake bias control?

No more AWD, blee blee blah blah. Who said that this car came with AWD to begin with? It could have been a normal R34 GT-T coupe, which would have started life with an RB25-Neo and RWD. I see clues in the pics. Point them out and impress me...
As far as handling goes, you know what would help it turn? Taking a couple hundred pounds off the nose. Moving the engine's center of mass back (compared to RB) helps, too. If you think that the key to handling is AWD, you're living under a rock (or on the internet). At the last Super Street time attack, the JIC S15 beat the Mines R33. The S15 had less power, and of course no AWD.
And yes, dual masters for adjustable brake bias. This setup usually has an adjustable linkage at the pedal for bias adjustment. It's definitely something to consider with such a modified weight distribution and huge brakes.

LS1 FTW, end of story. The LS1 is welcome in any car that it will fit into because 11 times out of 10, it will be a better motor for the car. What is not to like about this engine. It is all aluminium (which means it's lighter than an RB and even an SR), it has 5.7L, low end torque, and it is one of the easiest motors to get power out of. It's just a shame GM put this motor in heavy cars.

cool build. i am not usually into the ls1 swaps into import sports cars, but the r34 is more of a touring car so i think the ls1 works well in this chassis.
**edit:disregard question. i read your(evangelion's) other posts. apparently you are a troll.
