TSS Project "This was Supposed to be stock"

[The.Skyline.Shop]

This is a build we did for one of our GTRC members this winter.
It took alot longer than it was supposed to but over all we were very happy.
We had a Customers GTR show up on a hook a while back complaining of a loud knock in the engine.
He told us a story of a spirited drive in the mountains and a nice revmatched downshift on his way home and than this.
bought the car and drove it for a total of 3 weeks before the build.

History on the car.
1991 GTR
1 owner
55k original documented km's
Mint Stock condition

Fire it up and sure enough, spun rod bearing.

So out it comes and we tear it down.

Pictures will explain it better.

So now we have a Bone stock mint GTR
with the heart of an animal.

he will be upgrading more in the future once he pays off the build.

Thoughts?

One of the neatest GTR's i have driven
Total sleeper.

[SmegEad]

Upgraded the underhood hamsters. Nice.

[felix yuen]

so u can't just post a pic??

[GTR-guy]

Nice work!
That engine in the first pic does not look like an engine with 55k on it!

[Marke]

^^^Or its 55k of serious, no holds barred, abuse.

Nice selection of parts for the rebuild. Good work.

[Braden @ JNS Imports]

so you can do a financed build? i really wanta do a rb25 or rb26 engine build but i cant afford it all at one time. is it possible to do payments with you guys? if so im intrested in a major build much like this one.

[klys]

for sure this "stock" GTR will definitely kick arse hehe

[Speeddm]

Wow thats an anoying way to set up a post. Hopefully the car is better but together than the way you posted the pics.

[GTR-Dad]

Sounds sweet!

It'd spool sooner and have better off-boost performance with a higher compression ratio. With the power potential of the parts, an oil cooler wouldn't hurt either. (Not to mention FMIC and rad... but this stuff all co$ts...) I've heard the OEM O2 housings are pretty restrictive too. Add a nice set of HKS ones and breathing will be even better.

I love the idea of hiding all the good parts. Walk softly and carry a big stick!

Cheers,
Dan

If this is the car that I'm thinking of, it already has an oil cooler and inter-cooler A Koyo aluminum 2-core was also added.
