The interior has had as much pampering as the exterior.Trundling gently up and down this road for car-to-car shots, we’ve held up a couple of cars, and the old Ford Ka has been delayed a bit longer than most. These rims are a perfect match for GT cars such as the 350z and the R34! The body has since gone through a few paint corrections to maintain the super clean white look. The rear R34 GTR wing was raised 10cm for practicality purposes, rear view mirror visibility is poor when you have a massive wing smack right in the middle of the rear windscreen! To further improve the looks, a Works Emotion XD9 rim was installed but it has since been replaced with the much more handsome and muscular Nismo LM GT4s. The unique LED taillights were custom made all the way from Japan.Īfter a year of driving with the original bumper, Eu Jin finally got himself a Impul 534s bodykit to differentiate himself from all the R34s out there on the road.

However like in all good romance stories, the hero usually persists and eventually wins the heart of the girl. But that wasn't the end of the brake sub-plot, a massive set of Brembos from the R35 GTR was shoehorned (front and back) into the car to provide the stopping power! For JDM cars, stock parts are pretty hard to come by and takes a long time to ship into Malaysia, with the constant issues springing up one after another, the 'love story' was turning into quite a challenge for Eu Jin. The brake discs didn't work too well even with fresh skimming, so he swapped the original rotors for a whole new set of Project Mu rotors. The alternator decided to join the party and had to be replaced, it was later joined by the headlights which decided to be an aquarium for a day.

He went through a myriad of dealers as he wanted the car to come with as many optional OEM accessories as possible. Eu Jin, the man behind the popular Skyline parts company JDM Auto Link, chose this GTT as he didn’t want the ‘older’ R33 GTR. Without looking at the specifications, would you be able to tell that this is a GTT? It looks as sexy as the GTR and it goes as fast as the GTR. But with all the hype around the top of the line AWD RB26DETT Skyline R34, was there any love for the 2WD versions namely the GTT/GT?
