My C110 Skyline Project.

[blk180]

So i thought i would finally postup my project seeing as work has now started on it.

As i brought it 12-14months ago

Main body was not too bad.

Rear guards where cut to fit flares.

The damage on the bonnet

taco

Flares that came with the car.

car interior

Now it was time to buy some new parts.

Front Grill, rear bob tail and a front lip

GTR style grill

Was around this time that i started to try fit the Flares that came with the car and decided they would not do. So order a new set from Otomoto.

i already like the look of this.

Do WANT!

What are you going to do driveline wise?

[blk180]

Plan for now is just put the L24 back in and get rego, possibly triple the 24 if im happy with it.If not the car did have an RB26 sitting in when i brought but really this is the last piece to the puzzle and i dont know what i want but leaning towards old school with triples. Also must be manual so manual pedal box and 5 speed going in.

Ye L24 or similar with triples would be mint

even an ITB EFI setup, so you dont spend 18 hours every saturday balancing the carbs

From what i have seen for ITB motors they dont make the power for the money, For around 9k i could have a bored stroked L28(3.1) with a race ported head make about 100hp per litre at motor

so would make as much or more then a RB30 with ITBs. Rego first tho and worry about motors later.

Hahaha its just finding a good coupe to start with is hard

So after a week at the shop this is what i found.

Guards looking mint now

All that messy cutting cleaned up and repaired.

Engine bay cleaned up.

All rust repaired in doors and body.

Now im starting to see the car coming together took me near 14 months to get to here mostly saving to pay for all the work that needs doing.

Having looked at a few other cars im hoping to fit 16*8.5 -6 and 16*9.5-19 R type Watanabe's when the car is complete.

[blk180]

Some colour

Engine bay done.

Door jams.

rear light surround

[blk180]

The day i got it back from paint.

MMMMM now that looks good, but now its over to me to do some work lol

Four days work but the bonnet came up while.

Shinny

Hmmm getting there now only a few updates left till its where the car has been at for the last month of rain!!

[Roy]

Already looks great. What wheels are you throwing at it?

[bigmikespec]

Wow, looks amazing!

[blk180]

Im hoping to fit 16*8.5 -6(maybe 16*8 +0) and 16*9.5-19 R type Watanabe's when the car is complete. Ben from otomoto has 17*8.5 +0 and 17*9.5 -19 with a 25mm spacer on the back of his C110.

But not sure i have as much space as he has, so worried about ordering 2800 dollars worth of rims that will not fit lol.

[blk180]

I had a few mates drop over on the frist weekend i got it back and we got stuck in.

We added some rubber behind the flares to try stop them from cutting into the paint.

Started to fit the wiring loom and new fused box.

got the grill and lights in.

I want to put rubber base"s on the mirrors too.

And the next week i cleaned up the bumpers and fitted them

Also cleaned up rear lights and surround.

[blk180]

Some updates,

[blk180]

Engine is sitting on the a stand hope to fit up new bits and paint it this week weather pending.
