geez iv sed this many times to myself but the colour is absolutely awsum, the black top and orange bottom makes it so hawt im jealous :)

and the rims also fit in very well with the scheme of this, keep up the good work :D

Just noticed, why the 4door headlights (chrome). I personally would have stuck with the black surround of the 2door headlights, to match the c/f pieces. Stick with the theme: Black and orange, the chrome headlights make it look bling when the car is themed for a "race look" . Looking at your sig, the car looked much better with black surround headlights!

yeah dude definatly go the black surround in the mean time. and next investment needs to be coilovers!!!

Yes its true Im selling the skyline.

My plans are to build a sil80 from the ground up . I will be building this in much more dept .

Im not sure on a few things but all I know is the base for this project is a 180sx/sr20det inside. Im not sure what silvia front end Im bolting on.

I was hoping you guys could help me out with ideas and suggestions. Im also doing a engine conversion to a rb20 or rb25.

This will be a full build including removing all the sound deadning in and out of the car and a full respray in and out. Also the addition of a full widebody kit will be added. Im removing all but everything that has to be there to be legal.

All the suspension will be metal bushes, no air con. Basically a show pig which I can drive on the track and off to show this will not be a daily driver.

I want any pics and ideas you guys can give me as this is a build I will be happy to share with you guys.

A 180sx instead of the R33 ???? Prefer R33, but puting an RB25 in a 180 which ways a lot less. mmmmm. sounds tasty.

The R33 looks fricken awesome, Can't wait to see what you do with the 180.

Keep us posted.

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
