Some of you might say I´m mad, and that what I´m doing is a shame to the Skyline. But to be honest I love the R34 skyline and all that it stands for. And I have been running the RB25DET NEO for 4 years in pro drifting and 2 years before that on the streets and it has never let me down!
It is a fantastic engine and i love it in every way. But this year I´m really playing with the big boys and I need some low down torque. Every one is stuffing in V8´s in there Jap cars but I wanted something different. So I have bought a Gen2 8.0L Viper V10! It is the same weight as the RB25DET and it has all the power I need for Drifting. running a programmable ECU and mapping it at 99V-POWER fuel should give me 500HP@800NM on a safe map, already at 1500rpm it is making more than 600NM!
I love the R34 and the way it drives, and now i have the torque down low to.
The Rear of the car is getting fully rebuilt also for maximum grip.

Viper 10 in a Skyline R34 Hjermitslev Motorsport

I'm looking for sponsors, I will be in the Danish Drift Series but also at Gatebil, and some other European competitions also depending on the budget. Hopping also to have a race in the UK so I can Twin with David Waterworth driving the Viper powered S15 :)

Race on! :-

Hopfull it´s gonna rock, but time will tell :-)

I'm running the original T-56 Viper 6-Speed gearbox and a custom drive-shaft. to the R34 diff at the rear.

I' m Thinking of moving the radiator to the rear, but don´t know if it provide me enough cooling?
Anyone here done that on a skyline?

Yesterday i cut all the stuff out of the front to get it as light as possible.

Bosshy, try and get a hold of Max Tvardioskiy on Facebook- he might be able to help radiator info

A lot of stuff got done this weekend!.

-Sub frame mod done!
-exhaust + downpips done.
-Shifter relocated.
-Servo pump plumbed up to the steering rack and tested

Yes its HE551V but i think we will go down in size slightly to have more room and better spool time.

The engine bay is coming back together again.
