My winter car

Next year the greanmachine is going seriously hardcore so I have just got another stagea for daily driving driving around town and in the snow

Its a very rare Series 2 RS Four S (maybe 5 or 6 in the UK ) and the last model with the early style body. Colour is called "snow white" which is pearlescent

The S is the only factory manual stagea made and has all the following as standard out the factory from an R34 Skyline .

Later Neo single turbo engine with just under 300bhp out the factory
Latest dual syncro 5 speed gearbox
Attessa pro awd system - with electronic stability program
Exactly the same suspension and brakes all round as the R34
HICAS 4 wheel steering operated by seperate ECU
LSD
GTR Drivetrain
Xenon headlights thats seperate dip and main xenons
Full UV glass - a factory factory option so its legal in the UK

It is stock apart from the following mods
Adjustable Nismo S tune suspension which is a factory option
Stainless exhaust
AVS model seven wheels

It manages 25mpg round town as long as I dont go really silly

A couple of pics.... and the bodykit is standard out the factory like this !!!

It even has a switchable driving mode for snow

nice

gotta love the idea of buying a 300bhp car for winter driving at least it has 4wd

Sweet! Can the green one get any more hardcore? I presume you wont be going silly with this one and are going yo keep the power under 1000bhp!

That is a pretty impressive spec for a factory standard model.

Oh... Ive just thought. Do you really want to be driving a white car in the snow!

Very nice sleeper, and the name is very apt for the winter weather due!
Looking forward to reading about all of the future mods to this "sensible" !!!!! winter runabout of yours!

Thanks for the positive comments
Beleive it or not I WONT be modding this car...............at all !!!
and I understand that no one will beleive me

A few reasons -
It will be used daily drive and I dont need another "track car"
The s is like an RS version with ford it has most things as standard so its not suitable to mod anymore.
It has an rb25 neo engine - loads of low down power but expensive and difficult to mod , besides it modding this takes money away from The grean machine fund..

In fact the suspension is probably coming off . Well actually I should say is coming off as soon as I can work how to put later rear hubs on the green one , Then the set up will bolt on .
This was probably a major factor in getting the car. The suspension is close to £2K and probably the best available for anything but full track work. More importantly it is impossible to get a decent set from the uk .



Oh and as to can the green one get more hardcore - oh yes no problem

Try telling that to MA!

That's a decent spec there mate. You're a lucky guy having a winter car, especially one like that!

Nice daily driver, not really my thing, too many computers but still as a winter driver then you need all the help you can get to keep yourself on the road.

Still very cool all the same, it's nice to have something that's a bit different rather than a normal car.

Very nice. I bet you'll find it hard to keep it clean, especially when they start gritting the roads.
