I currently own a GTR and am looking at doing a bit of a project car. I used to own a R-31 skyline and found them to be a good car to drift. Plus i'm pretty sure RB20 and 25's bolt in pretty easy. (love the RB's.) If I went with a pintara/R31 Skyline shell is it a straight bolt in for the engine and gear box?? Has anyone got pics and info on doing this?? Wat are some other options?? Blue bird, KE70?? Any help would be awsome.

Cheers fellas

Toyota cressida with 2JZ. easily. Or even a 1JZ if you can't afford the 2J upgrade. Its all relatively simple to do as the chassis came with a 1JZ in japan (but not in Australia).

Make sure you have the lace doiley's on the seats and a box of tissues on the back parcel shelf for added sleeper factorial.

Then you drift it like so:

Nah, you guys got it all wrong...

1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 wagon, with the 4WD set up so it runs only in RWD. Engine conversion to 4AGE 20V ala trueno, panda-style color scheme with watanabe rims, etc etc.

Now that's a sleeper, essentially a Trueno wagon... Don't steal my idea now, will you? :D

go the 31 dude

can chuck cheap s13 suspension gear into em

just find rb25head and whack it onto rb30 head

then plenty of torque and whack a turbo on

31 all the way

plenty of AUNGER sun shades available for the rear, and grandpa sun visors for front of car

for really sleepishness go s1/2, or just a cream colour in s3

31 all the way!!

haha..... i knew it was just a matter of time until you found this thread and threw in a "GO THE 31!" comment

So.... what he said! ^

If the 25/30 conversion sounds like too much work, just dump an RB26 in instead.

ok, 31, stagea. here is a compromise - this is what you want!!!!!!. pick it up for next to nix from yahoo auctions!!!

If i had the spare cash:

Cresida ''izumida'' style cresida.1jzs can handle the punishment.

Or a grandpa 31 with s13 suspension and rb 26 or 30 powah!!!.

Which car would be the most cheapsk8 option??

And how much would the car and conversion cost.Inc the few nessesities like suspension,clutch and lsd???

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
