Get ready for your daily dose of restomod excitement with a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R that’s nothing short of legendary.Crafted by Japan’s Built By Legends,owning this beast will set you back around£335,000—excluding the donor car.Yes,that’s steep,but let’s delve into why this might just be worth every penny.

　　Firstly,let’s talk power.The heart of this beast is an enhanced RB26 engine,now called the‘MB7’after some serious tweaking by Mine’s.It boasts a whopping 659bhp and pushes its redline to 8,000rpm.Matched with a six-speed manual transmission,it promises an exhilarating drive accompanied by the iconic six-cylinder growl.

　　But this isn’t just about brute force.Significant upgrades like an enhanced ECU,reinforced air ducts and fuel pipes,plus airflow injectors and a meter from the R35,elevate its performance to rival that of supercars.

　　Beyond the mechanics,Built By Legends ensures a comprehensive chassis restoration enhancing the car’s rigidity and optimizing the performance of the upgraded Aragosta suspension.Every bush and bearing is replaced,and larger,more robust brake discs are installed to handle the increased power.

　　The exterior gets its share of attention too.A new carbon fiber bumper and hood not only enhance the aesthetics but improve airflow significantly.Additional carbon elements adorn the car’s sides and rear,taking cues from the original Mine’s R34—a nostalgic nod that will thrill Gran Turismo enthusiasts.

　　Masaharu Kuji,CEO of Built By Legends,captures the spirit of the project:“We aim to preserve the GT-R’s essence while integrating modern upgrades for today’s driving conditions.The question at the heart of Built By Legends was simple:What kind of GT-R would we dream of driving today if we had the chance to build it?”

　　If you’re ready to commission one,prepare for a year’s wait and a total nearing half a million pounds once you include the cost of a donor car.It’s a hefty price,but for a car that combines classic allure with cutting-edge performance,it just might be the ultimate automotive indulgence.What do you think,worth the investment?
