Shouldn't be to hard a car to build, its been done plenty of times before, I've got a mate putting a SR in his ceffy. keen to see it in action.

Do you own the Hilux with TONKA on the plates?

the problem with using gtr shell tho is that u cant use the sr cross member

an yeh tonka is my other money pit

actually if he chucks in the RWD front cradle and does away with transfer case it will weigh less than a standard R32 RWD car

GTR's are only heavier due to transfer case and extra front shafts CV joints and all the bits and pieces to make em AWD

Finally someone with brains has posted!!

Weight will be distributed nicely with a SR, and have no problems with the power, You should see if TT have got or can get hold of some corner weights Dan, that way fuel pumps, battery and so fourth can be mounted keeping the weight distribution in mind.

Anyways mate, thinking outside the square.....I like it!! :P

interesting choice dan.

looking for a toy too now that i've sold the skyline but not looking to spend as much as u, only about 5k max.

Think either an s13 to do motorkhana's and hill climbs or trying to find a stock datsun 1200, leaning towards the s13 as i can probably have more fun in that and the 1200 has so far been very hard to find.

yeh dan like I said to ya when u rang me n told me when ya got the gtr shell n told me what the go was...

think its wayyyyyyyyyy left field!!!!!! and might even possible work haha

that aside ill still call you a fag for using the SR for now haha!!

but should be alright buddy when it all done :P

as long as you put some tuff jap rims that have fitment on them :(

cant wait to get out to a hillclimb buddy n we do some runs :devil:

    • I usually source pressure on inlet manifold after throttle body
    • Where is the best location for boost pressure source when running mac 3port boost solenoid?  my new turbo does not have a fitting for that on the compressor housing.  how come Garrett make a turbo without that?  im confused 
    • From my memory, which isn't that great, we did have issues getting the large throttle body on my old LS1 to play nicely at idle, first it would stall, then it would only idle at 2k rpm, then it would hang at 2k rpm for a few seconds and then drop and stall, then, finally, the best we got was it would hang at 1.5k rpm for a few seconds then drop to around 800 rpm The tuner stated that large cable throttle bodies are a PITA, and if I wanted anything better than what we ended up with I would need a electronic throttle body and all of the aftermarket ECU stuff to run it
    • So, my intake arrived  I'm not happy with the coating finish so I went to Supercheap and got some black wrinkle paint and some prep stuff I was initially thinking about using grey wrinkle paint, but finding a quality product that gives the texture I want was "unfindable...", so the tried and tested black wrinkle paint is again finding its way into the engine bay for the OEM look I'll sneakily head into work and get the big ovens cranking to cure the paint over the next week or so I've also contacted MX5 Mania today to talk about the install and tune, so painting it is my "main effort" prior to sending the car off In other news, the correspondence from the US supplier is fair to midling to say the least, I'm still trying to track down the intake box thingie with the larger intake pipe to suit the throttle body, it still is "awaiting fulfilment" (no stock currently available), if it isn't here soon I'll just get MX5 Mania to fabricate up a CAI that is easy to service the air filter  
    • Thanks mate. I thought it would be that way.
