just to answer some of the questions

no im not insured

it broke traction in 2nd gear and got a 360 B4 stopping on a street sign

i dont want to fix the GTR because i was planing on selling it any way, theres no point in having 2 performance cars

im just gonna focus on the 180 and turn that into a 4wd monsta

to repair the car its gonna cost me to much money because it needs a respray and not only that i still need to fix up all the damages i done

its just not worth it in my eyes when ive got a 180 sitting here waiting for a engine

ive got a shit load of parts for sale now

my phone number is 04301 487 92

so if ur after any parts just give me a call

ive also got the shell and all that other crap for sale as well

Hks Triple Plate Clutch With Hks Lighten Flywheel

Recaro Sr3 Passenger & Driver Side

Power Fc D-jetro comes with all harness and map sensors $2000

R32 Gtr Front And Rear Bakes

Cusco Coil Overs With Swift Springs

How exactly can you tell that by looking at a couple of ordinary quality long distance photographs?

at the rick of keeping this going

because ive fixed alot worse myself and ive seen alot worse fixed... its not rocket science to tell that its not a massive hit and the whole car isnt bent like a banana :P

good luck with your transplant i cant wait to see the end result keep us updated!!!

bummer about your car mate. :P

personally I'd keep the 180 going with the SRV you had planned for it, and just use the money frmo parting out your GTR to fund it.

in the end you'll end up with basically a GTR with machperson strut suspension and a whole lot of work to get it going quickly.

by sticking with RWD and SR20 you get to keep it light weight, easy to build and repair and keep the balance as it was meant to be.

going GTR engine and AWD means more weight. more weight up front. lots more complexity and you don't have all that nice cash from selling the engine and driveline from the GTR.

but I reckon the best option is:

repair the GTR and sell it. use money to buy daily/tow car and fund the 180 track car.

What he said.

Sad to see mate. GL with it either way you go.

Are you going to part out much else of the car or just the parts you've listed?

To the optimists regarding repair: I'm not an expert but that really does look like it would have done some serious damage to the chassis which puts everything out of alignment.....

what does he know? just cause he owns 2 GTRs AND a silvia drift(ish) car... pfft...

lol :P

To be honest, there's very few things I like more then Silvias with an RB26 in them, an S15 26 will hopefully be my next car, so I say do it! Fitting the Attessa isn't impossible

im going ahead with the RB26 and 4wd conversion on the 180sx i always liked it more then the GTR which is why ill take wat i need from the GTR and sell wat i can and scrap watever i cant sell

if any one is after any parts of the GTR let me know because im only keeping the engine, drivetrain, front hubs

ive already got a Vspec rearend conversion done to my 180 so i dont need the rear end out of the R32 GTR so thats up for grabs as well

so if any one is looking for any thing just let me know

Ummm i was gonna offer some sympathy over the car but it seems your quite excited over the gtr powertrain

Has anyone ever tranfered the 4wd system into a silvia???? s13,14,15? seen plenty of rb26 swaps!

this may make your 180sx a daily as well as a race car.....much safer too and you can still drift it.

Yeah there is a mob that readilly make the kits to suit S13/14 and 15's in the states asa the GTR's are so expensive to register over there, it uses modified GTR drive train and a RB26 ofcourse, some people may have seen this S14 at a recent SEMA show, very impressive

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
