JUN Super Lemon GT-R on e-bay

Posted on 03.21.2009 20:00 by Terence

Do you happen to be in the neighborhood for a fully built 1200 HP AWD Time Attack racecar? If so eBay has you covered. It appears that the online auctioneer is becoming a more common place to find these types of ultra high performance super cars.

The most notable feature of this 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R is its color. The yellow exterior of this ten year old racecar looks better than ever. The color is one of the signature touches that the Japanese tuners JUN applies to their Super Lemon vehicles, like the 1000 HP R-33 with a top speed of over 230 MPH. The modifications to this GT-R go far beyond paintwork. The vehicle features a Greddy T-78 turbocharger, a large unit capable of producing tremendous horsepower. The R-34 has 8 piston front brake calipers from Brembo, racecar hardware. The doors, trunk and hood are all made from lightweight composite material.

With the current economic situation and the limited application of the Hyper Powered Skyline it will be interesting to see how much a JUN built Time Attack GT-R is worth these days.

Video, features and photos after the jump.

For some reasons, known only by the guy who did that, a BMW E36 was transformed into a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. The entire body was changed and you have to admit that the front illusion is perfect. The back of the car is not so well done, but as an overall result we can say that the car is a real (...)
