how does one put so much effort and money (and sponsorship) into such a car for so long... then sell.

...I guess cause someone else was driving/winning.

they had developed as far as they thought they could take it, starting a new project to go even faster now

it will be expensive. and EPA is a scary scary organisation.

but do it anyway. it'll be awesome. NA+Ts have moar low down torque due to the higher compression. Though, budget your conversion for turbo brakes, and stuff.

I was meaning more along the lines of acquire new engine, put in new engine. Not sure if the GT-Four comes with bigger breaks like the GT-V does. Information like that is hard to find.

Pretty sure it's been done before, and there'd be certain perks in doing so.

But also consider that it's most likely cheaper and easier to sell it and buy a GTT after your four years is up.

Moreover, consider the fact you may not want a skylineand post-Ps. My mate has a 34 GTFOUR, and I'm pretty sure for a long while he was considering N.A.+T. Has the AWD as well, so.

It's actually for sale at the moment as he's just got off his p's, if you want I can find deets for you (you could ask him deets about the brakes etc at least, I forget how much he's wanting for it).

But, I digress. He's on the hunt for an STi now. Which was my point about four years being a long time ; and that things change.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
