^^^^cant agree more...

am sure there are a few engines kicking round on here that would make a good start. i would love to do the same, keep us posted mate good luck.

I Have been thinking about this. R31 Skyline GTS2 (Red) + RB25 + GT30


Retro, Clean Skyline I would be happy with 350HWP and External Gate.

Me too, but my first car was either a DC2 or a R31 GTS2.

But the R31 sold and I had a R33 GTS half-cut lined up to buy if I did get the R31, it even had a GT30 Low-Mount ready to go.

Plus I already have a FWD, a RWD Skyline is on the Bucket-List

Thanks for all the positive support im gunna give it a go for sure, personally im after the experience and fun behind the build, sure I could spend 15 grand on a already built engine drive to trollys house and fuck his girlfriend but that sounds to easy to me. Any old trolly could do that. Na im gunna do it myself and learn somthing along the way. Cheers guys

this will end well.

But seriously get yourself a EJ205 with big end, bent rod, etc and just tinker with that.

And if you feel confident then try with good parts after. No point spending big on a first trial attempt

So you'd be ok with the grader oprerator who reckoned he could survey a road to within 5mm by eyeballing the horizon? Or you'd tell him he's a clown and leave it to the professionals?

Or even better, since its not your profession or money, its a piece of piss?
