Looking forward to seeing this finish.
I remember someone here have done the engine transplant job before for the R34, but I can't find the thread.

Motor

I definetely don't know why Tamiya (such a great company) don't put real motor in a kit like the R-34 and the do so in a kit like the Morris Mini. Strange isn't it ? They do such great engines... Mercedes CLK GT1, Porsche GT1, Ferrari Modena or Enzo...

Well, nice kit by the SAS group anyway, they do a cool S2000 kit too ans I definetely want to see the Vspec project at the end of the processus.

choice work, dude. I've been meaning to get my hands onto an R34 GTR, but they're scarce in my part of sydney. will it be very customized outside of the bodykit and engine transplant?(y'know, fancy race interior etc)
