You boy's are nuts!

But this sounds awesome.

Good luck, or whatever you say when building your own racecar from scratch.

Don't forget Porsche where jamming 1200 BHP into spaceframes in '73. :P

What sort of BHP/Torque are you chasing?

Yer i backed out of the space frame S13 when i had a look at the seat with the bars mounted through it.

I would have loved to have done the space frame and i did mention on here some time back but just dont have the skill set to get it done over here yet.

So we went for the viper instead.

Tell ya whot though Duncan / Risking you could try and squeeze one of these in the car though.

woops wont attach picture some reason

Brad make sure you have a little squirty bottle of water, hyundai kept catching fire when i was cutting it, pain in the ass.

Yeah I had a funny feeling that the thing would be catching fire alot. The sound deadening and everything is still attatched so it could be interesting.

Well anyone who says there skyline has got no more weight to loose is a wanker. There is SO much material in an R32 body shell its not funny. It would almost be worth removing the entire rear quarter and the C pillar to remove the triple skins then fitting a new quarter to a GTR. The sill panels are heavy as and the extra bracing everwhere is hell.

Even under the window frames and front end there is so much excess material that is not needed.

We kinda went a bit further than most would ever want to but here is the result.

There is still some panel to come off and some internal sheel metal to be removed but we have a base to work with now

Here is what left of an R32 when you take the bits that are actually needed. Yes we managed to leave the whole thing together as a floor pan. It is still really heavy and the top section might be lucky to weigh 40Kgs.

that is f**king hilarious....I bet you had a ball doing that

I still think you should have put it on a jig first but I guess it's too latenow :dry:

I need to check out the left over bits some time, should be funny as. And you really need to get the remaining shell onto some scales to see what it is now :domokun: I'm sure Nick at Racetige could help :)

Brad why did you cut most of the rear quarters off? i guess you have another skyline to make your panels off...

Anyhow looks great, i was amazed at how many layers of panels were on the hyundai, 3 layers of firewall ect.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
