The brief

Power,
with a purpose.

Built by Garage Saurus owner Hayashi-san as his own expression of the R34, then reimagined by CW Collective.

Near-four-figure power is only the headline. Response, balance, and repeatability define the car.

There is history behind the power.

Hayashi-san’s Garage Saurus in Sayama is a workshop with road, drag and circuit chapters. Charles Wong’s account places its beginnings in 1990. The Ferrari featured in this collection came through that same shop: a different engine, the same appetite for development.

On 15 September 2014, owner-driver Kamaishi drove the Saurus-built R32 “Kamaishi-R” to a 7.905-second quarter-mile at Sendai Highland’s last drag meeting. Web Option records it as Japan’s quickest Pro-GT-R pass at the time. This is the shop’s competition history, not a time claimed for the R34 shown here.

HKS V-Cam adds variable intake-cam timing to the RB26. Its purpose is not merely a larger peak number: adjusting valve timing helps build low- and mid-range torque. The engineering belongs in the response you can use.

HKS V-Cam RB26

Response before spectacle.

V-Cam sharpens the RB26’s low- and mid-range response while the large single carries the engine toward 1,000 horsepower.

The rare bits remain.

Later black trim, rare patterned Recaros, and carefully chosen period details keep the cabin unmistakably R34.
