Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum and from over the ditch (New Zealand), but I thought I would start build thread for my 4 door R32 Skyline.
Coupes seem to be more popular over there? Four doors are a lot more common in NZ than coupes.
Got the car cheap as chips ($1k) in a rough state for a build up and turbo conversion (It's a GTS body), haven't decided on what engine yet but will prob end up starting with an RB20DET and upgrading to an RB25DET in future. Also got a full respray in R34 silver (KV2).
I am removing pretty much everything that can be unbolted to clean inspect and if necessary replace with standard or better aftermarket parts.
Here are some pics from the build so far and parts I have collected.
When I first got the car (pretty rough and some reason it had a turbo J pipe lol):
Engine removal:
Painted Engine Bay:
Rear subframe removed for rebuild and lsd install (where can I get new brushes installed? Thx)
Striping the interior:
Current State:
Here are some of the parts I have acquired so far:
Vertex kit:
5 Stud and brake conversion:
Alloy Radiator:
New Rims (17x9)
GTS-T Manual Conversion
More to come...
