Started fitting the tunnel, brought some cleko's last summit order so I thought I would give them a go.

They made it a lot easier to trial fit the tunnel since I had it in and out about twenty times. After I had the tunnel neatly lapping

over the floor I started cutting 50mm at a time then tacking and hammer and dolly.

There may be a career in this transformation gig once your done. Let me be the first to get in line to order same conversion please :-)

I have owned multiple LH/LX Torana's and also multiple R33 Skylines - they are both(by a country mile) my favourite vehicles.

So if you feel you you would like do repeat the process once this one is complete - I'm here........admiring your talent and frankly great taste in cars :-)

Dean, I've had a couple of people contact me about doing the conversion for them but i'm to busy doing my own projects.

Bit more chopping.

Before fitting the rear section I made a 100mm dimple and then cut a 90mm hole in the centre.

Setting in place.

This is the reason for the hole.

All the tunnel is now welded in, also re-shaped the cross brace under the back seat that I cut out to fit over the new tunnel,

this will be welded in after the engineer does his next inspection. Also started the drivers side seat mounts.

Thought that was a joke haha, couldn't get a helper i guess.

God knows why! If I lived within 100km of this build I'd jump at the chance to be a helper. Although I doubt whether I'd be worthy enough to be in the same shed as this masterpiece.

Had the engineer look at it today, he was happy with what I have done so I finished welding in the seat mounts and the cross

brace under the back seat. Also sat the steering column, seat and centre console in to see how they looked.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
