Hi all,Marks my name new to forum and new to skylines.Purchased my 96 GTR a few weeks ago :rolleyes: awesome car,goes like nothing i've ever been in. Last toy was CBR 600RR. GTR much more fun. Had the car about a week and driving to work shift into 5th gear and no power, look in mirror a smokescreen :( Tow the car to my mechanic.Front torbo blown,top end damaged.Serves me right for not getting it checked out before i bought it. Anyhow still love the car but my mechanic hasn't got the time for such a big job. Any suggestions about where to go for a rebuild would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and bye for now.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
