My project,something a little unique. - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Irish GTR · 27th November 2009, 07:18 PM

I think its about time that I posted some pics of this unique project race car.Whats started out as a bit of a joke one evening in my friends garage soon progressed into an actual plan and now a full on race car build.

I have 2 very good people on board with me to make this project happen and make it special.It was a left hand drive race car,but now its a right hooker.
I hope some of you might be facinated by this and its progress and build.It involves alot of fabrication,engine work and a fair bit of custom carbon fibre too.

Hi mate seen your car a few times looking very nice, going to be some job when you have finished with it.I have to say fairplay for doing something a little different best of luck with it. ps like that the ramp aswell

Irish GTR · 28th November 2009, 11:08 AM

Thanks banzai g and thanks Iano C for your comments.

Been quietly working away on this project at the weekends and when I have had some spare time,and after a quick chat with someone 1st,I decided it was time to show the project on this forum.

The 1 major thing that I have learned from this so far is that I dont rush head long into something like this,that careful thought and planning are required to do it,and to do it right 1st time around.Also I have learned alot of hands on skills and mechanical related stuff that I would never have known about only for this project and the massive help and guidance from 1 or 2 important people that are involved in this car and its build.

I hope to have it up and running for the 1st quarter of next year.Its certainly going to be different,but sometimes different can be a good and interesting thing.

Thanks.

PS - Iano C.....yeah,that ramp is nice,isnt it.

It kinda involves this "little" turbo.
