What's your plans?SJ.

Firstly its to get it all cleaned up sprayed underneath. And enginw bay. Put all body panels on. Get it back to ita original state exterior wise.

Then the power bit. Which everyone will be wanting to know :D. Im looking at forged 2.5. Looking for fast road mainly with neck breaking torque. Want around 450bhp plus 500lbs torque.

Ive just bought ap 4 pot kit of a breaker. Godspeed kit. Which will be the break setup.

Suspension and handling. Well not sure on that. Dont know if I want coilovers or just a very good damper setup. But I may use 24/22 ARB front and back.

Transmission. Well this ones a biggie. I want to do a few expetiments. Not going 6 speed just yet. I have a 754 gearbox. Low mileage standard gearbox. Going to open it up and try these "strengthing treatments" cryogenic freezing and shotpeening(sp?)

Really interested in this experiment amd would like to see what the outcome will be. Il most likely go 6 speed in the end but ive got 2 gearboxes so want to experiment

:)

Sounds like it's going to be a superb project,plenty of pics of your progress please:thumb:SJ.

Will do mate. It will be a great winter project. After next month il have be having some time of work so hopefully il get some time to spend with her :D

Good luck with this project mate. I'll be on the look out for parts for you.

Hi mate thanks really appreciate it. I shall upload some pics tommorow of some progress today. Gave it a nice clean and wired brushed some of the rust and gave it hamerite treatment. The rust is nothing major compared to my uk 2000!!

Arb 22 f/ 24 r not the other way around. Good luck

Yh thats what I meant lol was typing to quick lol. Thanks

good stuff - I wasn't sure if that was what you meant

Looks like a good project.. been toying with the idea of p1 project myself converting it to rwd tho :)

Thanks mate. Ahh rwd lol. Someone on the facebook group asked me if I wanted to sell the shell as he wants to do a rb26 conversion and aim for 1000bhp. Nuts!

Thats nuts!!! Heard there monsters at 400bhp! How much did you get the shell for?

My next car will hopefully be a skyline r34 gtr. How do I upload full quality and full size images on here? I dont want to convert them down again they are rubbish quality. Whats the best image file to use?

Was looking at the r34 gtr mate hard to get a good one for less than 26k now!! Be will be able to get a gtr r35 for 30k soon

They are beautiful cars. Hopefully by the age of 25 il have one :D

Thanks mate. Just can't decide on what suspension :( fud keeps telling me bilsteins but they're £1800 and I don't have that much just for the suspension lol. I need something good but mainly road use
