Hey all,
I'm Steve and I recently (finally) got my hands on my #3 dream car, which is an R33 GTST. It was a trade I could not sleep over so long story short, I bought an EK4 civic VTi and traded it for the Skyline. The twist is, the Skyline came with no engine nor transmission, and needing body work and rust work done.
I wasn't sure which was the main most active Skyline related forum, so I decided to sign up here even though I'm quite a ways away from down undah.
I have a long history with Mitsubishis (Galants, Legnums, Eclipses) and now it's time to add another piece of Japanese FeO2 into my collection. I have so far completely re-done the boot area, chiseling out all the old seam sealer and patching up rust, then painting and rust sealing. I will be making a new build thread for this vehicle to keep as a diary, however everything is being done as professionally as possible with the tools I have.
I also paid for and had shipped to me an RB25DE Neo however the person sent me an RB20DE Neo from a 34. Maybe he also frequents these forums and I don't want to call names but I was REALLY upset and I was set back money wise by quite a lot. What's worse is I've been digging through the internet and there is VERY little info on these 20s; they have nothing in common with the 20DETs from 32s and not much has been done with them. I am still trying to decide whether to build the 20... I have no money to get a 25 even in N/A form right now. Also where I'm from there are no readily available parts for these motors/cars at all so difficulty right now is 12/10.
Anyway, I will continue to work on the chassis and keep looking for info on the RB20DE Neo. It's in absolutely MINT condition so it would be a shame to let it sit and rot away.
Thanks for reading if you made it this far and if you have any advice for newbies I would very much appreciate them!
