GTR
An automotive Menage a Trois
The wettest track day ever, combined with a rear engined, rear wheel drive car on Michelin Pilot Sport Cups = many 50 pence, 5 pence moments. Still doesn’t detract from the sheer awesomeness of the GT3RS.
As I am hugged by a GT3 carbon bucket, I relax in relief
The Green RS springs on me familiar feelings of comfort through competence and excellence.
GTR plagues the mind
Two GT3’s flank a new GTR in a failed attempt to grab some decent photos.
Nissan making the world LOL
Conflicts within Nissan are creating flare ups in the community. The public are revolting and these race animals want to know how to use their cars without exploding them into a billion pieces of titanium and carbon.
Video: Skyline racing with Dirk Schoysman
I play with Dirk Schoysman in the Falken Race car at the Nurburgring GP circuit in my own Nur – only a fly-by, but great noise.

Video: Clash of the Nurs
A certain well known black car plays with a certain well known sparkling silver car with some serious high speed driving on an autobahn. German Autobahn, November 2003 (R34 Skyline GTR V-Spec 2 Nur x 2)
Flipping Falken
I’ve tried to be nice to them but they continue to mess me about. I’m never going to see the tyres they’ve promised to return to me from Germany.
Tortoise and the Hare…..a story of high speed driving
Thoughts of driving in Germany always conjure up images of barren, limitless Autobahns with never ending targets on many horizons. Combine this with a party of cars including 2 GT3s, a GTR and an Evo8 and you’re guaranteed an interesting trip. This was certainly one of the best I can ever remember…
Light a candle folks
Well, I can pretty confidently say that this sale has been the hardest yet. I honestly thought I felt some last minute doubts just as bankers drafts were being exchanged. To then see it driven away from me was quite a sad experience, this GTR has been the best car I’ve ever owned. It’s also [...]
It’s that time of year again
Car’s up for sale folks – it would make a fantastic Xmas present to yourself!
Video: Motorvision Skyline GTR V-Spec 2 Nur
This was a video German TV motoring programme, Motorvision, did when I was out at the Ring.
Falken Tyres sponsored my car for German Channel Motorvision. Driven by the very handy Tim Schrick outside of the Nurburgring circuit, November 2003 (R34 Skyline GTR V-Spec 2 Nur)
Blow Dog falls victim to corporate betrayal
As you may know, I spent a few days entertaining Falken press hounds at the Nurburgring, Germany, in order to promote their new performance tyre. For more background, you can read one or two threads which explain the trip in more detail. Now that I am no longer bound by gentlemanly agreements, a mutual declaration [...]
Evo 8 v The Nur
Late night meeting with Quentin and his Evo 8
Anybody needs lessons in photography, let me know – my awesomeness can be found in the yellow pages under ’saturate’.
4 months, 3 days and 12 hours later
Some pics of the new R34 GTR V-Spec 2 Nür.
One careful owner
Well, she’s up for grabs folks, the R34 that you all know is for sale.
Encore, Encore!
You wanted more?
Trax 2002
After much preparation, a visit to Trax 2002
What makes a grown man weak at the knees?
Preparations for Trax2002 have driven me insane.
Perverted Prowler
Armed with nothing but a Japanese Supercar and an expensive camera, I prowled the streets.
A day in the life of McRae
GTR goes to Don Palmer for some educating
Alternate Reality
Picking up my car from Abbey Motorsport was a pretty special occassion.
All show and no go at N. Weald dragstrip
North Weald drag strip bowed to the might of the Skyline.
Buggering thievery
Ah, the society I love so much deemed it suitable to give me a gift today. Yes, you will keep trying. And you will keep failing. To the hopeless failures in life that insist on continuously attempting to thwart what little pleasures I get from my car, you have been foiled again. Thanks for the [...]
As good as it gets
200MPH, Bavarian beauty and the legend that is the Nurburgring.
Midnight Run – The Recce
The best trip ever? Certainly one I won’t be forgetting in a long time. The Midnight Run – Recce was successful enough for me to bleet about it for weeks on end. First of pictures are up.
Fashion repeats itself
With the wheels providing both pain and pleasure in equal amounts, a decision had to be made; am I a poser or a driver?
GTR at Cherry Tree pub
The Cherry Tree pub in Southgate not only does incredible pub food, but it also has a very large car park.
B660 with the R34 – Six shy from the devil
Paid a haunted visit to the B660.
All coming together
For some reason, one of the first things I look at in a person is his/her footwear. So I changed mine.
Avoid the rice, for it brings tales of death with it – R34 at Bedford
BRAKE NOW! Bedford Autodrome and pictures etc
Mines Power
Mines ECU goes into the 34.
Pants a Sod
Santa Pod proves yet again that the man that plans for a British Sunday is a fool indeed. Weather called off an otherwise amusing day out.
Thumball Rally
I meet a Ferrari 550 in my travels. Nature takes its course.
Sensory Overload
Spent an hour driving down the M1 in torrential, horizontal rain tonight and what an experience.
Evo March
Got the March edition of Evo mag, featuring my R34.
Return to Evo Towers
Have been invited for another cold, drizzly, wet winters day out with the boys from Evo magazine. Richard Meaden, John Barker and David Yu are doing an article on the history of the Skyline and, well you know how much I like to help.
[EDIT] – Few words and lots of pics are up for your viewing pleasure mon petit fleurs
Midnite Club (UK)
Went for dinner with Shin from Prospec Motorsport and Alex Creasey last night and the inevitable happened.
Torvil & Dean at Bedford Autrodrome
Trackday at the massive Bedford today proved to be hilarious.
York
A quick 500 mile round trip to York with the misses left good memories. An amazing architectural masterpiece in an otherwise normal place. Jorvic Viking Centre. Good old British traffic consistency and the strangest sight on the way home. EASY RIGHT, MAYBE!
R34 to the power of 3
Met up with a couple of R34 friends last night. Had a great blast, temperature and roads were great. Although the pictures were not. Funny that, photo’s are crap in pitch black.
More dyno fun
‘No-Excuses’ dyno day was held today at Power Engineering today.
Buggering damagery
To the son of a bitch that decided to steal my GT-R badge first, then wasn’t content with leaving me with a nice, deep, 10 inch gorge but then decided to try to break into the car through the window, if I catch you, I’ll probably go down. Go figure. I’m watching you with renewed [...]
Makinen spills Skyline’s pint
So Makinen is asked to step outside in a pub where cat swinging is certainly not allowed.
Santa Pod
Santa Pod, the place of spilt Sunny GTi-R guts, burnt Subaru clutches and the decidedly dodgy grip of a well known 1/4 mile strip in sunny England.
London Skyline
Some pics and words of my new R34 GT-R.
