Gallery>> The Abbey Motorsport Yard

Last month you may remember I wrote about a visit to Abbey Motorsport outside London in the UK. What I didn't include in that story was photographs of what was sitting in their yard out back. Abbey are regarded as one of the best GT-R and Skyline tuners in Europe so it's a fair assumption that you can guess what this yard is mostly filled with.

With the exception of this mint Sierra RS Cosworth that had just been sold having sat inside a container for some years, the yard is home to a variety of Nissans.

Check out this R32 GT-R which is owned by a pensioner if my memory serves me correct. Big power, stripped interior and lots of spec.

Tidy R33 GT-R on Do Luck wheels.

Nippon Challenge 350Z with lots of Carbon bits …

… with an evil looking R33 GT-R parked beside it.

This R34 GT-R was detailed with lots of Nismo parts including Nismo wheels and a Nismo sway bar behind the front seats.

This R32 GT-R was running over 600HP …

The only good looking R33 Skyline, the GT-R.

I think it's fair to say the R34 GT-R in Bayside Blue is still the ultimate JDM car for many of us.

Although it may not be the most explosive story we've ever run, I hope it's at least visually stimulating enough to kill a few moments that you should of spent working / studying / doing something productive !

Sway bars don't go behind seats. And I know this is Speedhunters, but do you bother proofreading your articles? Your grammar is generally atrocious.

Nice to see a good mix of Skylines. Looks like the daily R31 Skyline is a limited Autech tuned one. Visually noticeable as they came in the gold metallic colour with the BBS RS wheels.
