R32 Gtst With Rb 26

[kilos]

New to here and have bean reading allot of you project build ups and thought I would start my own.

I used to be a Commodore fan having owned a few modified ones in my time. When it came to getting a new car my girl-fend played a big part turning me to the dark side lol.

I have owned this car since the start of the year. Bought it with the rb26dett already in it.

The car came with some goodies all ready installed:

Apexi power fc

Z32 afm's

Gready turbos

Forged bottom end

Tein suspension

R32 GTR seats

Vertex body kit

At the time I brought it it was only making 260rwkw because the guy I had brought it from had it de-tuned from 360rwkw. He said that it had too much power for him.......

I didn't get to drive it home at that time I had lost my licence for 6 months and was going to get my licence back the following month so it was sort of a present to me. My girlfriend got the pleasure of driving it home with me riding shot gun. What a great ride home that was had a smile from ear to ear.

One week before I was meant to get my licence back I got a summons to go back to lose it again for 12 months. This pissed me off at the start but I know I have to pay the consequences for what I did. So now I had a good car but no licence again what to do. First thing I thought about doing was to sell it then the better got to me and I decided to just keep it because I owed no money on it and just modified it some more.

That brings to me where I am now, so I have started stripping down the car to start work on it .1 is because it was rushed to be put together and 2, just cos I can.

Things that I want to accomplish are:

Detailed engine bay which include polishing most engine parts, Flatten firewall, smooth wheel arches ect

Fix dented roof ( Someone decided that it was a good idea to put the bonnet onto it)

Install some type of wide body onto it (not sure which one yet)

New Interia.

Full body respray

That's enough talking for now Ill let the pic tell the rest. Only got pic of how it sits now will post up how I got it later.

Pics to be uploaded tomorrow when the internet connection plays ball.

Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks Mark

Have just purchased a wide body kit off Adam AKA Big Red so going to start to cut it up and try to start to make it look pritty again

[kilos]

Bean a while since I have updated. Bean bissy polishing away at parts in the engine bay starting to look how i want it to. Also last night picked up the wide body kit bean messing around whith it today. Shaw is alot of work neaded to get it to fit propaly. Thought I would shaire a few photoes of how its going

[Notorius]

Coming along nicely man! What wheels are you going to u run??

[kilos]

Thinking of going fr19 that way I can get what sizes I want and fill out the gards like thay should be

[Notorius]

Ohhk kool, should be nice once it's all done. I love the 26 I did this same conversion to my S15 Silvia. You going to stay twins or go to a single?

[kilos]

sticking whith twins at the moment. Have gready t517z on it so just going to see how much I can get out of them whith e85 then maybe single latter

[trustr32]

Nice work man. This is exactly what I wanted to do 3 years ago but after looking for a decent 32 with a 25 or 26 already fitted I ended up buying a GTR. Still would've loved to do this widebody conversion. Good luck I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

[kilos]

trustr32 thanks for the kind words. Bean waching your thred too. Looks like you have spent alot of tyme on yours. Was lucky to get it allready converted saves alot of money. Only problem whith the conversion some reason it has a sr20 gearbox. Going to change that out to a r33 rb25 one soon

Look forward to seeing the progress of this car!

Btw I notice theres some rust on the right rear wheel arch...are you going to get that cut out and fixed before putting on the widebody?

[kilos]

Yes I have cut all the rust out on both sides. Pasenger side was so much werse than what was showen. Looks like there was some panals replaced once and thay decided to put dubble sided tape between the two panals. That was one of the rasons why I decided to do the wide body and also just becouse I think the kit looks hot.
