As said previously, if you sre going yo go this nuts, do a VH45 if you are that keen, alloy engine, so probabaly same weight or lighter for 1.9l more capacity, V8 sound, then strap 2 turbos to it.. If i was going to mess with a GTR, this would be what I would do, 1500+hp should not be *too* hard..

I like the v8 idea for insanity. I heard RIPS did a VH41dett in a GTR for someone in the UK, so its possible.

Or a Spool 3.4lt RB30.

Or a RIPS 3.3lt RB30.

Or a Nitto 3.2lt RB30.

Its possible to do a 3.2lt in an Rb26 block as well, the advantage being no fittment issues or adapter plates required. Nearly anything is possible if you have a fat enough budget.

The V8 idea sounds sick. Could you keep the AWD with the LS3 though. Yes alot of custom work but is it possible. If it's not then what's the point of having a rear-drive V8 Skyline, just go buy a Corvette or something. It would be a waste of a GTR if you don't keep the four-wheel-drive. You could do it with a non turbo R34 though. It would be a sick idea cos they're going really cheap now. Whole build including the car would be $30,000-40,000.

The tuner in the clip said that he's got more experience tuning 2JZ more than RB, so that's why

he swapped the engine.

Keep in mind that the labour cost in Thailand is not as expensive as in Australia, and 2JZ parts

are much easier to source in Thailand compare to RB.

But still I wouldn't do it to my car.....

Good son of rajab that thing is hideous, the R34 is boxy-ish and the supra is rounded. Together they look WRONG. The Supra looks like a shitbox next to the R34 (GT-R. It can look good but stock it's not even a competition.

No that car is real, I kid you not. I'd heard of it doing the rounds over there.

To the OP, I get what you want to do - it's called "Spending heaps of money on your car to make it worth less". It's like wearing your boxers on the outside of your pants - different, but not necessarily better.

If you really want to be controversial, get a turbo Falcon motor and drop that in - then you'll have 4.0 litres to play with.

i'd had the thought of doing that one day, but i don't think the engine would fit in the engine bay that easily (mainly due to the height of it).

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 😂  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
