Then the taff*tune R32 GTR blew a turbo and the GTS shell had to sit outside under a tarpaulin for a few months

The GTS doors were cut up to reduce weight, the window regulator was removed along with the glass windows to be replaced by polycarbonate units at a fraction of the weight.

The dents were removed.

New parts started to arrive, hydraulic handbrake, floor mounted pedal box and extinguisher system

Then the Tein Super Drift coilovers and D2 tension rods turned up

Rollcage fabrication and fitting work started in ernest at Owens Fabrication. A multipoint weld in cage was planned to stiffen the shell up and for obvious safety reasons.

One last look at the original turrets before they’re cut out to make way for some new enlarged and custom made ones.

More of the rollcage fabrication.

The old turrets were thrown out and the new turrets were welded onto the car

The shell came back from Owens Fabrication following all the custom fabrication work.

New front suspension front suspension geometry was bolted in. 180sx S13 front suspension geometry was chosen over the standard R32 front geometry to allow for easier adjustments to be made quickly and to allow and increased amount of steering lock.
