After three build evolutions over a decade, Kris’ R34 Skyline is a long way from where it first started. Original built as a show car with scissor style doors, the Nissan was then transformed into a track style drift car whilst still retaining the factory RB25 engine.
In 2012 Kris opted to rebuild the Skyline once again this time opting for a larger displacement LS1 V8 engine. Now turbocharged the combo is good for a moderate 600hp still on low boost. We recently ran into Kris at round 1 of ADGP drift series in Melbourne.
