In a race against time, the throtl team is feverishly working on their Skyline R34 project for the upcoming SEMA show. With a fresh paint job from SOS Customs and top-notch suspension components from Nissan Parts USA, Shockworks, and GK Tech, this beast is shaping up to be a showstopper. The addition of Wilwood brakes on all corners adds to the performance pedigree of this iconic car. To meet fans at SEMA, they're hosting a meet and greet at the WD40 Booth, promising giveaways and a chance to win a coveted R34 skateboard deck signed by the entire team.

The team dives into the nitty-gritty of custom fabrication, starting with building a transmission mount to accommodate the power glide unit. With meticulous precision, they install the automatic transmission and transfer case, laying the foundation for the all-wheel-drive conversion. Through skilled metalwork and welding, a bespoke transmission mount takes shape, showcasing the team's dedication to perfection. Inside the car, a sleek carbon fiber dash sets the stage for the high-tech interior upgrades, hinting at the performance prowess that lies beneath the surface.

As they mock up various engine components, including an imposing intercooler, dry sump oil tank, and turbo setup, the team's focus on aftermarket support becomes evident. From fitting the plasma man intake manifold to configuring dual fuel setups, each step is a testament to their commitment to excellence. With meticulous attention to detail, they tackle the installation of crucial parts like the oil filtration system, brake components, and ECU placement. The Skyline R34 project is a symphony of precision engineering and relentless pursuit of automotive perfection, promising a thrilling spectacle at SEMA.
