Wasn't being arsey, just wondered why that particular car. I know getting it for £500 is a bloody good incentive, but it seems like many of the parts have had a great deal of thought go into them. And i just wondered if there was a specific reason why skyline over 200. Cheers.

would you mind letting me know how much the 34 kit cost and where it came from would be appreciated

Fantastic work on this aswell, in the middle of building a drift car myself not a skyline though it Jap and 1 of a kind , will post it up when finished

I have made a V-mount / top mount setup on my s13, It works verry good!
The main reasons for V-mount is:
-The shortest IC piping possible for best response.
- COLD air trough your IC and the radiator, not heated up by one or the other

If you dont mind telling us, how much have you spent on the project so far?

sideways.taff · 10th November 2006, 01:15 PM

£12k and I'm not even half way there, I've spent £1k in the last week

Snowfiend · 10th November 2006, 02:22 PM

Fabian - Cheers for the info on the V mount, nice one !

So come on sideways-taff....I've asked before.....what colour you going for ? Or is it a secret ?

A colour that is mixed from the tree sap produced from the rain forest, a koala bears spit and.... well needless to say you'll have to wait and see... not long now

Overnight parts from Japan....

Well maybe not overnight, but a week and a half

Newera sort me out again.. Top lads!

Before anyone asks.. no I wasn't going to pay the stupid amounts of cash needed to buy the Xenon units! I could buy four non-xenon headlights for the price of a pair of the xenons!

edit: nearly forgot about the new throttle pedal that I've made. Its ready to be welded and have a pivot pin machined for it!

Snowfiend · 13th November 2006, 11:59 AM

hehehe....fair play mate !

I wouldnt care about the headlights either personally....people will probably be to busy trying to work out the hell the car is

Going by that second picture above, your going to need some HUUUGE rims to fill those arches !

sideways.taff · 13th November 2006, 12:44 PM

18x9 front 18x10 rear both in low offset.

Snowfiend · 13th November 2006, 01:14 PM

9" at the front....Is that with a spacer as well ? I'd have thought you'd need like 11" to fill those beastie arches going by the pics.

Keep up the good work

sideways.taff · 13th November 2006, 01:31 PM

I still want to be able to turn the wheels without needing a bionic arm transplant...

A superlow offset 9" rim will help gain clearance with the chassis rails too allowing me to run more lock

JB. · 13th November 2006, 02:00 PM

This is by far and away the most interesting project that has graced this forum in a long, long time. Really nice to see. May your soul go to hell for not using an RB though

Keep the pics coming.

sideways.taff · 13th November 2006, 02:03 PM

There's an RB26DETT in my GTR which looks like it'll turn into the taff*tune drag car.

brooksie · 13th November 2006, 03:30 PM
