Words by Michael Knowling, Pix by Julian EdgarArticle from http://www.autospeed.comQuestion:When your daily drive is a 2002 Porsche 911 turbo, what do you keep stashed in the garage for ‘occasional use’?A – a modified PorscheB – a LamborghiniC – a NissanAnswer:<a href="http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_7mg.jpg" target="_blank">http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_7lo.jpg</a>Well, if you went with the underdog – C – you’re absolutely correct. Robert Marjan enjoys pedalling his Porsche turbo Monday to Friday but when he really wants to let himself run wild, he fires this machine into life – a R34 Skyline V-spec currently running 425kW at all four wheels!Robert bought this immaculate and stormingly quick GT-R from a friend who had spent a lot of cash building it into a street/drag weapon. Robert had offered his input during the build, which saw the RB26DETT hung with a mouth-watering collection of brand-name go-fast goodies.<a href="http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_8mg.jpg" target="_blank">http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_8lo.jpg</a>Intake and exhaust flow is virtually restriction-free thanks to a pair of HKS pod air filters and a huge 100mm Trust exhaust system. The standard Nissan ceramic turbochargers were also removed to make space for a pair of HKS 25/40 ‘chargers with internal wastegates.<a href="http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_2mg.jpg" target="_blank">http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i24/2442_2lo.jpg</a>Big boost pressure was part of the picture from Day 1 so no expense was spared with the fitment of an A’PEXi 6 inch thick Drag-spec air-to-air intercooler. A pair of Blitz blow-off valves is installed together with polished intercooler piping and silicone hoses. In the early stages the engine was left untouched aside from a pair of aggressive camshafts and adjustable sprockets.</blockquote>
