Life Goal #253 - Revving a JUN R34 Super Lemon -- ACHIEVED

Nate and I decided to take a spontaneous vacation because he needed sideskirts for his GTR and I was tired of school. We left for the Bahamas on Friday morning and returned Monday night, as always there were plenty of things that grabbed our attention. This was the highlight, pent up in a storage unit.

There were plenty of goodies on this thing as you'd expect. There are brake cooling ducts on bottom of the front lip, twin oil cooleres on each side, 3" intercooler and a twin split core radiator. The internal engine stuff is unkown, aside from being a custom built JUN RB26. All the body panels were either fiberglass or a wierd molded plastic...but everything was LIGHT. There's simply too much to list at the moment.

It was brought into the U.S. after being built where it overstayed its welcome. It was originally shipped over having a designated amount of months in could be here, once it got close to that time it was torn down to part out or ship somewhere. It didn't happen in time and the government seized it and it was sold at auction. (and lets just say the cost of storage is probably going to end up being more than what was paid for the car at auction ) The owner's trying to get it shipped back into the states as a racecar by getting a letter from JUN stating so.

We know quite a few people down that way and one of them happened to know the guy who owns it and he checks on it/starts it from time to time when the actual owner's not around. I believe he is trying to sell it as an alternative as well for an amount I'd have to check on.

I'll try to get some video of it up whenever I can, nothing special though, just a few revs...it was still impressive though, it's an incredible machine.

Well I figured I'd revive this thread since the owner decided to post it on Ebay.
