With so many street racers around Dubai, each and every one tries to be as exclusive as possible. Such is a story of Khalid Al Baloushi, the owner of the
RSG Workshop and a 900hp+ Japanese super car, the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R.


Riding in a King of the Road sure feels spectacular but Khalid decided to be more original, making you uncertain about the real potential of the car, with just a few carbon fiber Top Secret aero parts on. We witness a CF bonnet, CF side mirrors and CF rear diffuser on the car leaving the rest of the body untouched. On the road, the R34 flexes a more traditional setup of 18-inch Volk Racing TE37 rims painted gold.
 

Since the car looked almost average now, Khalid was ready to tweak the RB26! Boost is provided by an innovative HKS T51R ball-bearing turbo configured to RSG specs. The turbo runs a max of 23 to 25 psi (1.6 bar) but is capable of a lot more. The rest of the turbo kit consists of a HKS intercooler and HKS super-sequential blow-off valve. The computer performance is improved by installing a Top Secret 1000hp computer system while a GReddy radiator proved significant. HKS 272 cams, fine-tuned with GREX 6-speed transmission and Trust triple-plate clutch, systematize the valve train operation. The head gets ported and polished in addition to a HKS metal head gasket. To fuel the beast, Khalid decided to run a HKS fuel system at the same time as for efficient spark energy, MSD spark plug wires set proved crucial. Others include a set of Tomie pistons, HKS pulley kit and Trust/GREX brake system.
The RB26DETT now produces more than 900bhp @ 1.6 bar.


Finalizing the power-and-style objective, Khalid still has some unfinished business. Wishing the car to be more original, he strong-willed the car to remain a right-hand drive until he had other plans on his mind. The interior is all business with Recaro bucket seats and a light-weight Top Secret steering wheel whilst the pressure control falls to a HKS boost controller.
