thus the work begins

Picked up something to replace my car.

No engine and some missing interior parts but overall in good condition. It need some paint work though. The hood was by far the worst but it does give you an idea of how much work will be needed. Tested the right corner to make sure it it was doable.


Right fender finished. You can see the right door being worked on.


Right side finally done.


Left side.



The rear is done too but no good pics of it. It took quite a while to wet sand/buff/wax/polish each panel.

Here is the engine for it. I am not sure of it's condition yet.



Stock HID for the win.




Lots of work to do still but at least it's a start. Interior won't be so bad. It's missing little things here and there but cleaning it should be easy. The engine will probably be the toughest and take the longest amount of time but I'll leave that to someone more capable than myself. Hopefully it will be done in a month or so. And no I didn't mention what it is .

Skylines are nice cars. Would love to have one someday.

My friend was able to locate one for me.

Couple shots of the interior. Everything taken out to be cleaned. And prewiring for future sound system even though I don't have a single item for the stereo system yet lol.

It's a R33 GTR with an R32 GTR motor and it's replacing my 350Z. The paper work has been taken care of so all I have to do is register it and insure it. I wanted an all wheel drive car. The body is now all clean and just the interior and engine to go. I hope the engine doesn't need a lot of work (crosses fingers*). Just to get a couple parts for performance and standard parts to freshen the motor is costing me a small fortune. Hopefully I can get more pics later as work progresses.

Holy cow, Anubyss is back!

That's a nice R32 my friend. I hope it turns out as well for you, that has tons of potential.

Can you elaborate on how the car was legalized and at what costs? I would love to bring in a JDM car someday, but not a massive project like urs.

What mods are you planning on this beast, given its potential and availability of parts.

I don't know the details for the legalization process but it's pretty expensive. Of course I didn't do it myself as I have no experience in it.

As for the mods pretty standard items for a Skyline build: N1 oil and water pump, ARP bolts, Cosworth head gasket, HKS timing belt, HKS cams, RC injectors, Tomei fuel pump, Apexi D-Jetro, Garrett GT2860RS (x2), Nismo clutch, Koyo radiator etc.....

Finally finished the exterior and most of the interior. Just need to put the door panels on after I buy some speakers.
