Building 34 GTR from scratch

[x2shy]

I have a friend, that in his infinite wisdom, decided to buy a 34 GTR shell.

Not too sure what is left in the car but no engine, no gearbox, no interior (seat/trim/dashboard/etc)

He is 17, so he has another 3 years to build the thing but how much is it going to cost him?

I figured he could just pick up the parts of a half cut that other people did't want to help build.

I still believe it going to be cheaper to just buy a new one.

So how much to fix it up?

over 20k, one assumes struts, diffs etc etc are missing also, probably even moer

[ferni]

engine 6k for a 2nd hand stocker

gearbox (those getrags aren't cheap) 6k? 2nd hand

wheels 3k

MFD (lcd screen on dash) 2k

steering wheel 1k

seats etc.. 2k

headlights 2k

respray 4k?

diffs/suspension etc... 5k?

thats over 30k right there, very rough estimate

Does the shell have compliance or even better previous Australian reg history ??

Speak to ylwgtr2, I hear he is wise in the ways of the R34 rebuild

where the hell do you find a R34 shell? :confused:

nahh no way will it end up cheaper, unless he gets 2nd hand parts of r33 gtr or r32 even , coz if u get all r34 stuff u'll be looking at over 30grand for parts and then theres the matter of labour and for such a project it wont come easy

be original and tell him to drop in an RB20DE!!! will that even have enough power to move the thing? haha think of the savings!

come on, i seen pics of an RB20E so beat that one...

i guess something in the CA range would :headspin:
