the GTR was my daily and the 180 was my race car and since the 180 was waiting for its SR20V / primera engine im just gonna pull the engine out of the GTR and drive train and turn the 180 into a 4wd car

i know its gonna be alot of work but it doesnt bother me, the 180 will be getting hacked apart to make room for the new drive train any way here are some pictures

alot of people said it cant be done but we'll give it a go any way

even if it means cutting the car into pieces to make room for all the drive train we are going to do it... well at least give it our best shot

the SR20V engine will be kept on the side untill i can find a decent striped out shell to build

Ummm i was gonna offer some sympathy over the car but it seems your quite excited over the gtr powertrain

Has anyone ever tranfered the 4wd system into a silvia???? s13,14,15? seen plenty of rb26 swaps!

this may make your 180sx a daily as well as a race car.....much safer too and you can still drift it.

absolute piece of piss to repair your gtr though its only superficial.... seeing as its already setup and its alot of work to do the 180 (as cool as it will be im doing the same thing) is changing it over worth it?? id fix the gtr ?

that sucks mate.. glad your ok, but that was a tidy as gtr... but i guess what happens happens and cannot happen any other way... its damaged now, moping wont help anything.

what are you doing with the rims?? is the 4th one repairable??

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
