Smashed My R32 Gtr Today

[STR8E180]

well i smashed my GTR today

coming around a corner and all 4 wheels just lite up and BANG into a street post

anyways here are the damages

BEFORE

AFTER

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

ouch. howd you manage to lite up all 4? moving on is a million times better than sitting in the dark in your undies feeling sorry for yourself.

sad to see the car banged up but now you can put plan 'B' into action. cool attitude/temperament, plenty of owners would be looking for a very tall building to jump off!!.

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

hate to see a nice 32R banged up like that, good luck with upcoming project, are u selling ur custom catch can or using it, might be interested

[Johnny]

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.

[TheProDaniel]

Damn but sounds like you've got a nice project to get on with. best of luck and keep us updated!

[Black Widow]

Wow.

Unlucky Kemp.

But good luck with the 4WD 180. Should be fun once/if you get it finished!

It has been done, but its no simple job.

[DAS KAMU]

there is a shop in the usa that does s14 4wd swaps with rb26's

ill find a link or something tonight

they have it down pat they have done a bunch of them now

[ras1983]

were you insured?

[WHITE R32]

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 ?

[Marko R1]

ur lucky u were not going any quicker - that was a prime position to really hurt you...what gear were u in when it started to break traction and what kw u running?

[Sinful]

Ouch

Hope you get her fixed up!

[J - Rad]

Why can't you fix the GTR?

[gotRICE?]

Can i be the 1st to ask how you managed that on the road?? Was it monsooning or something?

[Mr. Keets]

The R looks pretty banged up...don't think that would buff out. Good call on ripping out the drive train and moving on. GL with the 180

absolute piece of piss to repair your gtr though its only superficial....

How exactly can you tell that by looking at a couple of ordinary quality long distance photographs?

[NZM.031]

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??

[babyskyline]

That sux. Was a real nice gtr but good luck on the new project, plan B.

It will definitly be something special

[gfunkk]

cant understand why your not upset that was a very nice example of a GTR now its trashed...

but yeah as i said on NS the build is going to be a good read
