Miss 34 Skyline
Alizah, also known as Miss34, is a car enthusiast from Wollongong, New South Wales, passionate about all things cars, dogs, and weightlifting. Her car of choice is a 1998 Nissan R34 Skyline, which she has modified extensively to make it stand out from the crowd.
Having always had an appreciation for the aesthetics of cars but never anyone around that was into them, her interest in cars didn’t really take off until she imported her Skyline. When asked about her first car, Alizah said it was her R34 Skyline GT. A pretty special car to have as your first car and to have turned it into how it presents today is a credit to her.
Alizah's dream car has always been a GTR, but due to price tag the fetch, she went for the NA R34. Knowing she’d be driving it on her P’s made it the logical choice with turbo cars being restricted for provisional drivers at the time. However, this did not deter her from modifying her car to make it look like a GTR with a bit of outside-of-the-box thinking, which was her initial motivation for the modifications. To achieve the desired look, Alizah has “done all the cosmetic things really, body kit, painted Millennium Jade, the Weds Kranze Cerberus II wheels and then the air suspension and aftermarket arms and few other little things.”
When I first spotted Alizah's R34 at a car show, what caught my attention were the Sudani stretched tyres on the rear. This look isn't very common, especially in Australia and especially on an R34. Curious about the reasoning behind it, I asked Alizah if it was done out of necessity for the perfect fitment or if it was a desired aesthetic. Alizah said, “It was initially out of necessity to get the fitment I wanted but I’ve learnt to love the Sudani look and am so happy it happened like that.” When asked about the best modification she has done to the car, she mentioned the air suspension. According to her, it is her favourite mod, as it offers the flexibility to adjust the height depending on the situation - whether driving at a legal height or going lower for rollers, and finally lowering it to the ground for shows.
Although Alizah had no initial plans for the car, her plans evolved as she modified it. She thought she wanted to build the motor as soon as she got off her provisional licenses, but then opted for a body kit, paint, wheels, and coilovers, and eventually stanced the car and turned it into a show car. Alizah is currently happy with how the car is and is enjoying it, with no immediate plans for further modifications. She would like to do more of the interior and maybe eventually build the motor but no plans are set just yet.
Alizah expressed her emotional attachment to the car and her inability to see herself selling it. She stated that the only car she could see herself replacing it with would be an R34 GTR. Alizah thanked everyone who has helped her with her build, including those who have taught her more about cars and shops that have helped her get to where she is today. She also thanked her parents for supporting her crazy passion for cars.
In conclusion, Alizah's passion for cars has driven her to modify her Nissan R34 Skyline her way and turn it into a show car. When asked what advice she would give someone looking to modify their car, Alizah emphasized taking your time and not rushing into anything. She also encouraged thinking outside the box and doing things that are different or have not been done before, as well as having fun and not worrying about what people have to say.
