[C-unit]

Before I start the build, here is alittle about me. I've been in on GTRC since 2005 and had my first skyline since 2006. This project will be the continue of my GTS-t project that I started long time ago but never finish.

That project was never finish and I ended up selling everything for parts. Anyways, enough BS and My GTR will carry on my passion towards the R32.

Purpose of the build:
I am building this car for mainly track days and drifting. It is my learner car for different motorsport. Since I don't have a daily car now, this will also be my daily driver.

UPDATE #1

This is the first update of the car. I have spend a few days removing my interior and my front end. Overall a pretty easy job so there are not much to write about it.

I am looking to keep the weight down as much as possible but still keeping the A/C and other electronic features. How can you go fast you are not driving comfortably?????:wink:

Things I am going to do for the interior:
- Stripped sound deadening
- Stripped rear seats
- Fully seam welded
- 16pt weld in cage
- Redo Dash wirings
- Redo Dashboard

Parts That I just received or collected:
- Vented CF hood
- CF trunk
- PS duce Bodykit
- Aragosta coilover
- SPL tension rod
- SPL traction rod
- SPL rear upper control arms
- SPL rear toe arms
- S13 non-hicas subframe
- K-sport Hydraulic handbrakes
- Takata 4pt long harness
- Takata Shoud pads
- Apexi EVC
- Razo Padels (yes you can stop laughing now)
- Work VS-KF 18x9.5 18x11

I am not going to take pic for everything since some of them are in the storage.





Progress Time:



Dash board gone. Most of the interior ares out already. Just havent take pics


Hood is now replace with Vented CF hood for weight.


Look What I found under the car...lol


Front end removed and sold to Joecrack.


Attempt for front bumper install...Failed. Intercooler is in the way.

As much as everyone thinks stock/Nismo GTR looks the best. I don't really give a fuxk. Body kit> stock body.

[NismoS-tune]

I swear I've seen a Mustang GT with that front bumper. What make is it?

[archaeic_bloke]

nice thread, i like how your style is very unique.

PS duce From Japan. I don't buy rice out body kit..

[Muss]

Charles, care to aid me in finding a body kit? That's about the style I've been looking for but I can't find a reasonably priced one anywhere.

Looking good, we share the same style. "Razo Padels" I love mine, way more grippy than stock.

And I agree, stock body is just ****. What do you "hardcore skyline enthusiasts" like more;
