Hello guys,

The other day I came across this and thought I would share it with the rest of you guys:

Looks like just a nice neat soarer right? nice kit on it, vented bonnet and some cool volk rims.

Ok, so it's a bit more hard core inside with the cage, seat and other race style bits and pieces.

But the real shock was under the bonnet

That's right folks, it has a full R34 RB26DETT conversion complete with all the goodies like a V-mount intercooler set-up and a nismo hard pipe kit. not bad!! not bad at all.

Now for me this would be the ultimate as I currently drive a GTR and an Active Soarer so what a great idea to combine the two and just have one car! :-) imagine the saving on rego and CTP

I have a few more pics if you guys are keen. So what do you think? Ultimate soarer or blasphemy?

c'mon, you know you want it!! It certainly is a unique idea in a soarer. although the japanese have been putting RB26s in everything with four wheels for a while now.

Unique yes but why put a Nissan engine in there a full house 2JZ would be my preference!

bah, toojay would be too obvious a choice. As much as I respect the supra motors there is something about RB26s that i cannot resist. :-)

the outside looks cool but would'nt a 2jz or a 1jz be cheaper and a better quality engine over the RB26

Nice subtle flaring on the guards but check out how far the rear wheels stick out in the 2nd photo!

Wouldn't go for an RB26 myself - they seem to self detonate pretty regularly.

boy, there are a few RB haters here! lol.

I have to say I love the RB26. a great engine and truly the jap performance grand daddy of them all. nothing beats the sound of a worked RB26 at full noise. Don't get me wrong I like the 1jz (for the money they are hard to ignore) and the 2jz are great too. but there truly is something special about a nice RB26.

That particular car is awesome too. So much effort gone in and it is (i think) a truly 'complete' car. looks hot and would go like a bat out of hell.

Burn the heretic!!!! burn it i say!!!!!!
Why put a rb26 in and have to rebuild it every 200kms lol Ive seen another soarer with a rb26 in it before too, it was painted like leopard spots on the engine. 2JZ >>>>>>>>> RB26

haha yeah I guess posting RB love on the ALSC is asking for trouble... what can I say drive a (nice) RB26 powered GTR and i'm sure you too will be hooked. they are a great engine, and tough too if treated right.

toojay = teh win?? no way.

Cmon richard!
toojay's are awsome.. ;)

Both kind of different engines, but for balls you cant go past a 2jz with big turbo and supporting mods.

For response in a light shell, a worked rb26 packs nuts and crackers. The mine's ultimate r34 scared me to death just watching the needle in 4th gear

i do still love the 1 and 2 jays but i would choose the RB26. everyone has a different idea though. consider that my light tune GTR (stock turbos, stock dump pipes, stock intercooler) makes 250kw at the rear wheels I don't think many supras or soarers could make that through stock ic, stock dumps and turbos. but once the game is lifted to big mods the gap closes down a lot, but I still prefer the bore/stroke ratio of the RB for promoting high revs.

But i must digress as i can feel a "hey off topic" shout coming on, so i will close by saying i am still yet to see a soarer i want to own more than that one. I reckon a manual, RB26 soarer would be a very fun car...

oh, yeah the mines R34 is awesome. I was lucky enough to see it at Tokyo Autosalon earlier this year. Another one that sticks in my mind is the black HKS 34 with TO4Z kit and V-cam. simply insane.

Hehehhe yeah I've seen those pics before. What was more of a shock was finding out the car is owned by a lady driver heheh :-) You don't see that very often! Althought I saw a girl in an R33 GTR fanging it down Botany Rd one time hehe

I'm not going to argue that a toojay can run 250rwkw with stock kit cos I can't confirm it (I drove a '96 Supra a while ago that sure felt like that sort of figure), I do argue that you can't run in excess of 600kw through a stock RB26 bottom end like you can on a toojay.

Sorry about the rant, back on topic...

I was gonna ask if the chick was the owner - wouldn't greatly surprise me. Why can't more chick's have that sort of interest in cars?
