you'd be surprised what you can do with a 4 door semi chop... apparently its VERY easy to do if you have a 4 door... hmmm might try to talk a certain $2 4 door R32 owner into it :P

btw NATS = Nipon Automotive College... where you learn to race, maintain, design and build cars. The pics above and the ones they showed at autosalon are the works of all their students... if you thought their skylines were different wait till you see what they do with the other cars..

Also you'll note that the ute's back windoe is the stock R32 rear window, simply moved up. According to the students who built the car, they've cut the rear passenger section and seats out of the car and moved everything else forward. The rear doors were cut and welded into place, as was the bottom of the boot. The rest was then finished off with FRP (fibre reinforced plastic, or fibreglass as we know it) and bog sanded and then painted.

Oh and in case you're wondering the taillights of the oldschool skyline is in actual fact supra lights.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Also did some work to the shed and a massive clean out of stuff. It's now got a small fab/dirty room and has helped keep shed cleaner. Built some new work benches and re organised things also got a TV out there so good having something playing while working on the cars. Got a pedestal drill and linisher off a mate that need to pick up too.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      First thought, have your current injectors flow tested. If they test fine, keep the diagnostics going. It's not the injectors. If the injectors are the issue, find some new or used (cleaned and flow tested) injectors.  While I really love a good excuse to get a modern ECU installed, just needing new injectors probably isn't a good enough reason to do so.

      A bit from column A, B and C. Mainly C   Update time, after deciding it was time to tick off a bucket list goal I finished up full time at MSR and have gotten back behind the wheel and making progress on the S15. Goal has been to drive Bathurst at an event and I have had my entry accepted for Challenge Bathurst in November. Since I don't want to go unprepared I need it running to test and get comfortable.  Been chipping away at it and started by stripping inside, getting it all cleaned and sealing some holes up. With stripping inside I removed the whole wiring loom and found a few surprises.......... its pretty butchered and shit branching and I'm not a fan of the haltech fuse boxes so it's all out and trying to come up with a plan to rewire it all either new fuse/relay box or pdm.  I haven't been happy with how I did the intercooler mounting and been wanting to tuck it up under rad support. O e issue with that is headlights will need a decent trim or get replacement covers. Took the time to mount it with some stand off's and new hardware. Stands are some m8 button bolts, washer, aluminium tube and factory radiator top mount rubbers. It's nice and solid also stiffens rad support which still requires some trimming. Bonus of factory rad mounting is used all factory hoses just need to weld a pressure cap to radiator now. Got sensor block and fuel filter mounted. Plan today is to get vac lines all sorted with push in nylon tube and design oil cooler mounting solution.  Been driving BRZ a heap and went out to Morgan Park for time attack and went pretty well for a wet day. https://youtu.be/gAlQgcQpWj4?si=kojOAOjhhX_X3AXR Getting pretty comfortable in it now and want to do a few more bits to it but restraining myself as don't need 2 race cars at the moment.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @sunsetR33 There is obviously a huge culture gap here. There is nothing in place like this in Australia, where if you fit a Mines branded pipe and later replace it with a Jun branded pipe, both pipes are essentially identical - BAM - huge penalties! Where is the Mines pipe?? You can't have a Jun pipe when you said you had a Mines pipe!  Makes no sense to me. Surely makes no sense to anyone else here either.  I'm sure a lot of us would agree that our registration/engineering system is pretty stupid at times, but it's not that stupid.  *** More serious question here. If you replace a factory rubber hose with a silicone hose, is the car illegally on the road now? Does it become legal if you have certification of what brand the silicone hose is? Then would it become illegal again if you replaced that silicone hose with a difference brand of silicone hose? And then would it become legal again if you had certification of the new brand of silicone hose?  I really want to know that answer to that question.

      Good you making progress with this rig. Aluminium welding is painful to learn, have you got a pedal as I found it so much easier with one. If that's the AMG I think it is, you would working with Benny?
