The Stealth Bomber

Would you ship your car half way across the world to a guy you've never even met in person? Well the British owner of this R34, who goes by the name "Sparks" did. He purchased the car in 2003, and did a few visual mods and that was it. After a while he decided that he wanted to make it a little bit faster, so he searched and found a company named R.I.P.S. The company specializes mostly in Nissan Skylines and 240z, but there big specialty is the RB30 engine.

Anyways, after contacting R.I.P.S and doing some research, "Sparks" decided to give it a shot and send his car off to New Zealand. Once it arrived at the shop, the work began. They decided to upgrade from the RB26 (2.6L I6) to the RB30 (3.0L I6). The engine was fully built with some Tomei high end parts and also fitted with a T04Z Turbo. Custom exhaust was next along with a bunch of other goodies.

 The T04Z Turbo with dual K&N Filters

 The Fuse Box & Oil Catch Can. Works of art, all in anodized aluminum!

 Front splitter, Nismo skirts, Top Secret front bumper, Top Secret FRP Bonnet, Top Secret rear diffuser with vortex generators, Veilside mirrors, custom made wing stays and white 19x10.5j Volk TE37's. NICE.

 There you can see the 4" Exhaust, along with the Top Secret diffuser.

 Engine was painted matte black to give it a clean look.

 Huge front mounted intercooler, custom made of course.

 The whole theme of the car is to be stealth, hence the low mounted turbo, 
black exterior and engine. He even made his plates numbers match!

 The huge HKS strut bar was anodized to match the catch can, fuse box, and intake manifold.

The car was tuned to have 580ps (572hp) so that it would be easily drivable in the streets.
You can find more about this car on the GTR.co.uk forums.
