Great car. I'm a huge Skyline fan (have been since I was a kid), and I've considering doing something like this on a GTS-T R34 for a while. If only the chassis weren't so expensive over here it would be a much easier sell.

Great work, post some more pictures!

DUUUDE, that is sick. The ultimate sacrilege! The RB26DETT is a sick engine but I couldn't think of better engine to replace it with, the might LS1. Noyce!!!

They said it was a GT-S touring so i'm assuming it was never AWD and it was never RB26DETT. Instead it was the bastardized brother the boop RB25DET or RB25DE. Looks great.

I just joined a new board in St. Louis which is apparently where all the fast cars hang out. It was amazing to see another board have a completely different reaction. At least 3 people said that this Skyline flat out sucked because they would have rather seen it in an F-body or corvette. Haha, some people are so damn narrow minded. I'm just glad this board isn't like that.

I can't wait to start the thread about my swap on there and get flamed to death.

Neither. Stl-speed.net, but I posted up my swap and never got an unkind word. Guess they were just messing around and trying to get under the skin of the guy who posted it. Haha.

i ahve always been a huge fan of R34 GTR and R33's

I have a customer with an R33 GT-R... he just blew his RB26dett at a hair under 600whp. I wish I could talk him into letting us swap a TT LSx motor in instead of rebuilding the RB!
