Guest desire Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 as promised heres a quick build thread of my R34 skyline. this is more of a photo dump then a build thread but to be honest it will take forever to load up all the pics i have of the build and tell you every little step ive made lol so, chit chat over, lets see some pics! i bought this "car" (i use that term loosely) as a non rolling shell, no brakes, no wheels, no engine or gearbox and missing most body panels. getting the car down to work after it sat on my drive for a while whilst i was working on my aristo. engine bay was shocking so before i fitted the engine i bought it had to have a lick o' paint then i changed the cam covers and plenum again with the paint before i fitted then engine then a bonnet, headlights and a gtr front bumper got me to this point, oh and the front mount.. then my aristo needed some loving so this happend once that was done it was time to get back on with the skyline. i was'nt 100% happy with the paint on the rocker covers so done them again, and i also changed the colour of the engine bay as i was'nt happy with that either. if you have'nt guessed yet i have some super ocd lol i also started work on my mfd surround using a 7" touch screen satnav screen then i had the idea of doing a full GTR body conversion, how hard can it be! got some brakes for it so gave them a lick of paint too. engine back in and ready to look sexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest desire Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 found some wheels so a quick refurb and paint we had them looking like this i then started work on making a fuel cap as i never had one with the arches in the mean time i was making my own products! can you tell what it is yet haha started work on the other side one massive road trip later got me this which the addition of the GTR bonnet i had lying around for awhile looked like this! then cut it up to fit some N1 vents then cut the silly money genuine GTR bonnet for the nur spec vent (bum was tight doing this one to be honest!) N1 skirts, rear steps and GTR spoiler with carbon blade added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest desire Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 many late nights later got the panel gaps like WHAT! work continued on my custom parts oh carbon at this point its christmas and i really wanted to get the car running and moving under its own steam as it was getting really boring pushing this in and out of the workshop on my own! so i done what had to be done and drove it to the top workshop on the ramp to make a exhaust system!

Guest desire Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 some moody night pics made the exhaust and used a blitz nur spec rear box. 3" from turbo elbow back with one mid box i then grafted a spec2 upper lip to my spec1 bumper looking good looking real good! one carbon fibre boot lip spoiler later and its getting there. i hope this gets put with the other build threads but as its not a supra i will understand if its not, although there is a 2jzgte vvti that i converted to single turbo in here thanks for looking guys, i will do my best to keep this thread as up todate as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
