It was a real GTS-R a long, long time ago. The only thing GTS-R left on it is the paint colour and the interior.

It has the build plate and all the other select distinctive parts you wont find on GTS/GTS-X.

That fact the Japs changed the motor out in the 90's is beyond my help. I just changed from 25 to a 26 for legalities sake

So saying mine is less of a GTS-R than yours… its just... a little stupid dont you think?

We all know he took a pintara and welded 2 doors shut :)

I was waiting for the Pintara comment Rossco, you’re a bit slow!

The exhaust was looking good to. Its sad that there are cobwebs on the wheels and brakes. Be good to see it get back out there...though with the EPA i would had hoped you had gone back to RB20. Fancy an R31 GTSR with an RB26 :)

I'd have less of a chance to pass the EPA with the RB20.

If i want the setup/power i want, RB26 is the only way!

As for power wise, see what happens at this stage :)

Sorry Ash. Car envy brings out the bad in me. If i could find a neat and tidy R31 GTSR i would buy it over an R32/33/34 TR anyday. They are hell cool. If it happened to havea n almight RB26 in it then all the better.

Hmmmm colors.....

Definite nomination for photo of the year (even if it has been modified slightly).

Stop taking photos of other people's engines Ash and post your own! Without exterior shots, your photo is about as much proof of a semi-completed car as Bush had of Iraq having WOMD :)

Mine isn't the same as chris's - his is the same colour as my wheels, mine was done already when i got the car 4 years ago.... it's very similar to yours... but being a few years old there are a few chips and stuff on the paint...

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By tidi0x · Posted

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
