When the new GTR is too big, there are other options

Ray Mallock Limited, builders of some of the most successful, and often unusual race products ever made, and English, to boot, are continuing their long established relationship with Nissan. If, like me, you think the "Skyline" range has floundered with ever bigger, porkier and unwieldy machines over the years, you may find this transplant of running gear from a GTR into a Nissan Juke interesting. Shows how the professionals tackle a complex project from start to finish. Lexus V8 in a Supra? Nah, these guys like a real challenge :) Jurgen, now, about that black GTR you are breaking, and this `ere blown up Juke.... ;)

I hate the juke...has to be one of the ugliest cars ever designed!?

 

GTR 4x4 running gear does make it a bit more appealing I suppose!:D

 

I'm with you on that one, its obviously been nick named the "Joke" in our house.

 

Think I could put up with the looks for the drivetrain though, apart from the fact a GTR would be cheaper!!!!!

RML also did the mid engined Nissan Micra R, I would have been seriously tempted by that had it made it into production, a modern Renault 5 Turbo 2, mid engined baby GT For guys who are "off their heads" they have a truly enviable record of engineering and design excellence :) :
