The skyline will be coming out of the bodyshop having some pics taken. then a week later will be taken to Zcars for a pre Dyno test which I will video. then parts that are yet not fitted will be put on, a new dyno and a remap will be done @ RSP.

overall im aiming for 500bhp as thats all the standard internals can take but been realisitic I thinkg for now il do a safe 400bhp. my main goal is to have the car at 800hp+ as I wont be using this as a daily driver.

alot of mulla is goin to be sunk into this so keep an eye out on this progress thread .

picture of the Skyline before anywork at all was carried out on it (well tinted windows lol)
I still have these wheels if anyone is intereted in them!



pic of how it looked before my bro put stickers all over it lol. and How I liked it! well sort of body work was pritty shocking if i honest.



pics of how it looked before I removed all the stickers my bro put on YUK!
WARNING YOU WILL CRY lol
Fast N Furious y0! lol





IL BE UPDATING THIS THREAD ALOT AS SOON AS THE BODYSHOP START TO WORK ON THE CAR.

im keeping a close eye on the work they are carrying out you see .

hope you all like.
and remember if you like this progress please rate the thread

nice looked good till all the stickers lol

[JamesRm]

I think the stickers looks Ok tbh

Looks good on Jap cars imo

[J222JRA]

poor car why would you do that lol, atleast your getting it sorted though mate

[mattygoulding]

i liked it more wi the stickers on but its ur coice

[Predator_R32p]

Hope there staying off when its resprayed mate

[Ryanp]

stickers are win man what you thinking getting rid

[djmartin]

I only like cars with shed loads of stickers on if they are drifting around a track. for everyday usage its stupid and looks worthy of Max power instead of a good jap mag like Bonzia.

im not actually aiming for any mag feature if im been honest. its more the fact you dont leave a car such as that sat in the front driveway doing naff all. id rather get it clean push its BHP up keep it fora bit take it on track days and then trade it in and get either an R34 or evo 6.

@ Steve/Pred...No stickers are goin on this. I want to keep it clean looking.

@ Ryan..my names not Paul walker lol.

[Kev_Vtec]

nice looking car. will be better with the stickers of imo.

[Ryanp]

bonzai mag?

skyline looks nice mate, specs sound impressive too. glad you got rid of the decals

[djmartin]

cheers Luke yeh im glad the decals are off but when I was removing them I peeled off alot of paint along with them lol.

cruel to be kind lmao.

so im glad I had every intention to get it all sorted out .

Spec list seems HUGE but its mainly cosmetics if im honest.

engine stuff in the list is only about 25% id have said. I thought id be honest and mention as much as I could thats on the skyline.
