well it all started out wit my skyline tat ive used for drift and track days the last yr and a half plus

few pics of it when i got it




next up i resprayed it and stickered it and it ended up looking a bit like tis till its untimely death





few days after the last pic was taken i was at a drift pratice day and stuck it on its roof totally destroying the shell

so wit a wrecked shell and very good runninggear i was up in neils shed one niite when we were deciding wat to do wit it reshell it or scrape it and buy another or wat

when he threw the idea out there tat y not build on exterme shell like his ps13 wit an e30shell tis time and the skyline running gear from my old car

so i thought about it for a few days and decided to go wit it and use his old shell tats parked at the side of the house for a few yrs

few pics a the shell as it sits atm looking sorry for itself and needing alot of tlc





the heart of the beast lol 316

as i had alot of small niggly problems wit the old shell i decided tis time around i was going for ultimate reliablty and safety after the way the other shell went after it flipped
so ill be building a full custom cage seam welding the full shell all round and strengthing it
so first thing was first get rid of the rb 20 gearbox and get a rb25 one can take a lot more power and the main shaft is a lot stronger so makes it more durable if clutch kicking is required
rb20 box on the left as u can see the rb25 is much larger



next up time to strip down the old engine loom and get rid of wats not wanted and keep the basics simple and down to wats just required the wiring loom after a small bit of tidying up and sorting

ive enough in tis loom now to start the engine and run it just need to build an ignition system onto it and it,ll fire up
tis is as far as ive got at the min but hoping to get the e30 shell in during the week and start to get it fully stripped down to see wat were dealing wit rust wise etc etc
any comments positive or negative all welcome

it,ll be done right most work is gonna be done on the shell and i can upgrade the rest then after wards as money permits
it,ll be gettting a s13 or skyline subframe and rear coilovers just cause ive numerous diffs and ratios here for it and also i want to use the driftworks rear hubs eventually front is all gonna be from the bmw parts bins wit skyline brakes all around

Yea would make sense to do that alright to be fair.. Front end is well upto the job anyway

Now i think you should bury the rb in the bulkhead

also theres a lot more adjustment in the skyline gear towards the beemer stuff
its going to have to be to make it fit in and looker sleepish hopefully when done the intercooler wont be seenand i wont have any really tell tale signs of the rb under the bonnet
