Here in Manila I know of someone Making A Skyline Vspec II Nur.. His goal is to reach 1000HP.. All i know is that as of this date it only has 800HP..it has a limited Special JUN Engine...and the skyline is in Left Hand Drive!!!!
 
Ok, I haven't done anything near as much as you guys! After hearing there was no Aston DBR9 i modded a British Racing Green DB9 and it's pretty close to the real thing.
DBR9 - 1100kg
my DB9 - 1450kg (with stage 3 lightweight)

DBR9-640Bhp (if I remember right)
DB9 - 68xBhp to make up for the extra 350kg. :lol:👍
 
The DBR9 sounds cool. Reading a back issue of evo gave me the idea to try a CLK DTM AMG and a Vanquish S. I forgot all about those cars.
 
Boy, do I have a treat for you guys... :sly:

I was really bored yesterday, and I was watching some of my Best Motoring/Hot Version videos. I decided to replicate as many of the tuner cars as I could. Here's a list of the cars I've got. Cars in red are not finished.

Best Motoring/Hot Version Cars

Kei Office Blue S15 Silvia
Power: 340hp
Wheels: Silver Split six spoke with a lip. I got the used Jaguar XJ220 race car wheels in the used section.
Wing: Black 3D

Yashio Factory Grey S15 Silvia
Power: 350hp/400hp
Wheels: Gold five spoke/Gold Yokohama Advan Mode 6
Wing: None, it appears Okamura took his wing off. Of course, there's no way to do it in the game.
Note: Car appears twice in Togue Showdown, with different equipment.

Yumekobo Blue FD3S RX-7
Power: 400hp
Wheels: Gunmetal multi-spoke
Wing: Stock
Note: Easy way to do this is buy an RX-7 Spirit R Type A brand new. The wheels you need come stock.

Auto Produce Boss White Lancer Evolution VII RS
Power: 380hp
Wheels: White five spoke
Wing: Stock

Mine’s White Lancer Evolution VII RS
Power: 370hp
Wheels: Silver multi-spoke
Wing: Stock

Esprit White NSX
Power: 320hp
Wheels: Rays TE37
Wing: Black 3D
Note: This car used the 3L engine, so try to find as old an NSX as you can. I found a '90.

Fujita Engineering Grey FD3S RX-7
Power: 380hp
Wheels: Gold five-spoke
Wing: Black 3D

Ridox Red JZA80 Supra
Power: 550hp
Wheels: White five-spoke
Wing: Black 3D

KSP Engineering Grey NSX
Power: 325hp
Wheels: Bronze Rays TE37
Wing: Silver GT

Auto Produce Boss White GDB Impreza STi
Power: 330hp
Wheels: Silver ten spoke
Wing: Stock

MCR Red R34 Skyline GT-R
Power: 600hp/650hp on scramble boost(could be simulated with nitrous)
Wheels: Gold multi-spoke from Impreza rally car
Wing: Bi-level GT

Powerhouse Amuse Imola Orange S2000
Power: Stock
Wheels: White Rays TE37/Silver Rays CE28N
Wing: Stock
Note: The car once appeared in Hot Version before recieving the R1 label, Rays CE28Ns and all the decals on the side. To recreate this version, you could try getting the Street car, but then you can't add a wing. Otherwise, just buy an R1.

Techno Pro Spirits White/Silver MR-S
Power: 190hp/200hp
Wheels: Silver SSR Formula Mesh/Silver five-spoke with polished lip, try Cizeta wheels
Wing: Black 3D
Note: Silver car appeared at least two times in Togue Showdown, white car appeared in Battles at 10k RPM.

Esprit White EK9 Civic Type R
Power: ???
Wheels: White Rays TE37
Wing: Silver GT
Note: This car has a carbon fiber hood. You could try getting the Spoon car and just deal with having the Spoon decal.

Phase Accord Euro R
Power: ???
Wheels: White Yokohama/Advan six-spoke
Wing: Black GT

Circuit Club White DC2 Integra Type R
Power: ???
Wheels: White Rays TE37
Wing: Stock
Note: This car has a carbon fiber hood. You could try getting the Spoon car and just deal with having the Spoon decal...however, the Spoon car does not have a wing. Spoon or OEM? Both are close but not exact, so it's up to you.

J’s Racing Yellow CRX
Power: ???
Wheels: Bronze eight-spokes, bought golds from Speedline
Wing: Black 3D
Note: There is not a yellow CRX in the game. I settled for red.

Ritmo Red Zenki NSX
Power: 320hp
Wheels: Bronze Rays SE37K, got some used wheels from a racing Honda that look like them.
Wing: White 3D
Note: The car is based on a Zenki NSX, but has the newest facelifted front end(fixed headlights). I just went ahead and used a new Type R in red. Both this car and the Route KS had race-style bodies. Maybe you could use the NSX-R LM Prototype to match the looks, but the power would be way off.

Route KS Yellow Kouki NSX
Power: 340hp
Wheels: Gold Rays CE28N
Wing: Black 3D
Note: I used a yellow Type R for this one. Both this car and the Ritmo had race-style bodies. Maybe you could use the Takata Dome race car to match the looks, but you can't change wheels/wing, and the power would be way off.

J’s Racing Yellow S2000
Power: 290hp
Wheels: Silver ten spoke
Wing: Black 3D

C-West Silver Z33 Fairlady Z Super Taikyu
Power: ???
Wheels: Gold five-spoke
Wing: Black 3D

RE Amemiya Yellow FD3S RX-7
Power: 360hp
Wheels: Silver Enkei split six-spoke
Wing: Yellow 3D
Note: The Enkeis were not in the game. I go some OZ F1s.

C-Ken Nurburgring Blue S2000
Power: 279hp
Wheels: Bronze Rays CE28N
Wing: Black 3D

Spoon Black S2000
Power: 250hp, an oil change out to do it, if you got a used car like me.
Wheels: Silver Work Emotion split five-spoke, got some split five-spokes from the used wheel section.
Wing: Black GT
Note: The Spoon car actually looks like it's primered/unpainted. The brand new S2000 Type-V's Moonrock Metallic color is very close to this look. A standard S2000 will not have a hardtop, and the Amuse S2000 Street Version cannot have a wing added. To simulate the hardtop and still have the wing, I ended up using an Amuse S2000 R1 in Moonrock Metallic.

Garage Limit Red AZ-1
Power: 100hp
Wheels: Silver seven-spoke
Wing: Stock

Infini EP82 Black Starlet
Power: 200hp
Wheels: Silver mesh
Wing: Black GT

Spoon White DC2 Integra Type R
Power: 200hp
Wheels: Black five-spoke
Wing: Stock

Motore White AE86 Levin
Power: 180hp
Wheels: ???
Wing: Stock
Note: This car is actually an all-white coupe, but the closest you'll find is a High-Tech Two Tone(aka Panda) hatchback. I couldn't see the wheels very well, but they appeared to be bronze in color. I ended up going with some bronze Lancia Stratos wheels from the used section.

Tom’s Silver MR-S Turbo
Power: 190hp from Stage 1 turbo and Sports Exhaust
Wheels: Silver five-spoke
Wing: Black GT

Tsuchiya's White AE86 Trueno 'Monster Hachiroku'
Power: 170hp NA/230hp Turbo
Wheels: Dori Dori Mesh. Got polished BBS near the end and/or Rays Winning
Wing: TRD/Black GT
Note: Only Panda white is available, not a full Super White like Tsuchiya's car. No TRD wing available either. I haven't seen it myself, but I heard that Tsuchiya 'had' to turbocharge his AE86 and add a GT wing to stay competitive with the other Togue machines. I included the specs I know of.

Maybe this will give you guys something fun to do. I'll be back with tuning specs so that you won't have to guess as much as I did trying to get the power right.

It can be tough finding the right cars(especially in the color you want) and wheels, so check the used wheel section every day. I also discovered that buying a wing advances the game by a day as well, so check the wheel section after buying a wing too. Likewise, if you see wheels you want, buy them right away before getting a wing or another car.
 
^Wow, that is some devotion! I'm not familiar with most of those Japanese (drift?) cars but good luck!

My recent project is working through some back issues of car magazines in my library and it's giving me some ideas for replica builds in GT4. Of course, the road going TVR Speed 12 that EVO tested last issue was a day's project last month, complete with black 12 spoke rims and monstrous black wing.

This month I'm trying to replicate the Lynx UK prepared 720bhp Aston Martin Virage (using the Vantage). Shouldn't have much problem squeaking out 700+ horses, but where am I going to find the quoted 1100 lb/ft of torque?! I don't know if my neighborhood GT4 A/M dealer provides a turbo/supercharger option?

Speaking of EVO, I see the R34 Skyline has been resurrected one last time by NISMO. The upcoming Z-tune looks like a monster so I'm attempting to rein in all 500 horses.

Anyone else care to list their current projects?
 
Nice to see another replicator!

As far as the Aston goes, the Vantage already had a supercharger in stock form. On cars that originally had superchargers, it looks like you can only do the NA tune for more power. I'm not sure what the full-tune power is on those(990-ish hp in GT3). My Vantage is only in the 600hp range, since it's a replica of a car in my racing story.

I built myself an R34 Z-Tune as well. It was the first replica of a real car I made. Mine has about 478hp, so I'm trying to figure out what I can do to get as close to 500hp as possible(no race exhaust, I want a more realistic sound). Pick up a silver R34 GT-R(I got a V-Spec Nur), and get the black NISMO wheels in the used section.
 
Anyone heard of the Honda Racing Integra Type R? Its a stock DC5 with weight pared down and competition suspension.

Just buy a Championship White DC5 and do Stage 1 weight reduction. Install a roll cage, change the clutch and you will get a close spec to the One Make Race DC5 used in Japan.
 
Cool! I tried turning an RSX Type S into an Integra Type R by getting an oil change and adding an exhaust.

Since I never saw a Spoon NSX, I decided to make my own. I got a white Zenki NSX and bought the Spoon wheels from the used wheel section. Very mild mods, only around 300hp. I might win the NSX-R Concept(with the unpainted carbon fiber hood) and do a Kouki version.
