To all the haters out there, not every one buys a Skyline, let alone a GTR, because they want to race it. Some people just buy the car because they like the look of said vehicle. So, if you are not happy with the build this guy is doing, don't look at his post. It is as simple as that.

Now for the build.... You are doing a great job dude, fromt he looks of things, you are going to have some nice cures and a very distinct shape to the install. Good luck with all the sanding once the 'glass has gone down though, the shapes are gonna hurt you.

Also, you will find that fibreglass will cut a lot of the weight out of the install, so you will still have a fast GTR with only a little weight in the trunk.

GOOD LUCK DUDE AND ENJOY.

gday here are a few updates

Hey dude.... Any more updates with this build?

Wanna see more progress on the build.

BTW, I don't see this being very heavy. I assume the majority of the build will be done with fibreglass and a thin MDF frame.

    • Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?
    • You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.
    • any further information on this? also interested in putting a zf6 in behind a rb30!
    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
