GTR. R33. Thought I was going to die.

over 600hp and 500lbft torque.

What a machine, thing accelerates likes nothing I'v been in before. 4 wheel drive is just awesome...I'm not considering converting my diesel  :smug:  :grin:

Anyone else own a machine of magnitude?

Get a 4Motion shell and stick your engine in that

Equally I'm not sure if there was a MK4 version sold in europe  :undecided:  They did a 4Mo diesel in the MK5 for 12-18 months when it was first launched

Lots of TDI 4motion variants in Europe, in 4,5 and 6.

Fair number of Golf5s about in 140bhp trim in the UK.

What are the Polish doing in your mate's engine bay?

Skylines - designed to do the driving for the guy in the driver's seat.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Get this guy a medal  :grin: Opppsss.

You say they do all the driving because of the 4WD right? It was just ridiculous, foot planted while going round a bend. Car felt solid...But sitting on 10" wide rubber all round helps I guess!
