We start with our own car which is a Skyline R33 GTR. As a project our aim was very clear, "To prepare a high profile, highly modified R33 Nissan Skyline for road and race use, utilising the best proven parts available to achieve the maximum usable performance whilst keeping within the confines of road legality."

We started from scratch, that is basically emptying the engine bay, fully stripping down the engine, and replacing virtually every component with uprated parts. The entire engine re-build was a labour of love as we took hundreds of hours to meticulously assemble each part until the whole job was complete. Using the best parts available at the time, we squeezed every last bhp from this car. The results were very enjoyable indeed!

 
 
To test what this monster of a car was capable of, it was taken to Bruntingthorpe proving ground, two sets of timing equipment were set up near the end of a two mile straight. On each run the speed was increased and the car was checked, finally we reached a speed that was safe for the limited two miles we had, checked the times against each other and took the lower of the two. This was 211 mph, not bad for a car that you can use every day.

Gt-Art developed this car over a number of years on behalf of its owner including vast improvements to it's performance and overall handling characteristics. The car became well known to Skyline enthusiasts across the globe and was publicised in dozens of performance magazines.

The Sumo HKS R34 GTR became one of the most recognised cars internationally, and at one stage held the European 4x4 drag record. We are pleased to have been involved with its creation and owner.

After several years as the flagship SUMO car, we understand the car is being returned to road racing trim.

 
Project GTS-t
 

GT-ART approached this project with our client John Bradshaw with the aim of producing the World's fastest 2 wheel drive R33 GTS-t. This aim was fulfilled at SantaPod Raceway UK earlier this year when the car achieved a time of 9.93 seconds at 140.67mph. We continue to develop this car and it's currently producing in excess of 800rwhp.
