My skyline is just rwd from factory. I guess its much more easy to swap then if it had been 4wd and keep it.

Love it! Nice work.

I am a little confused. The HP limit is 300HP, but how can the Koenigsegg Agera R have more than 1000HP and be legal?

There ya go. If you did an engine swap on the Koenigsegg you'd be limited to 1200HP. LOL

Good choice. The RB has to be one of the most expensive engines out there to build and modify. I have always loved the skyline. The R32 is my favorite but that R33 is pretty.

Long time since I made an update. At the moment I'm collecting parts.
Have bought a kit with hooker s14 mounts for gearbox and engine.
I have also bought an s14 crossmember.

I have also decided to swap it to lhd as Sweden has lhd traffic and it will make the v8 swap easier then with rhd. The starter will fit, the steering rack will have enough room, brake cylinder and clutch cylinder will fit and also I can buy s14 headers

So I have bought lhd s14 steering rack and a lhd s13 firewall. Will also use an s13 dashboard.

Next month I will order a sikky oil pan and hooker s14 black paint headers.

If you wanted a cheaper alternative, the GTO oil pan is a front sump oil pan, also recommended with s14 engine cradle, I did use the sikky oil pan its a nice piece, but kinda pricy

I have decide to use an electronic power steering pump from Opel Astra g 99-03 and have it in the trunk. The pump just need + from battery with 80amp fuse - earth and trigger signals from alternator and the ignition.

Long power steering lines will help cooling the fluid. And will have a more clean enginebay.

Long time no see I had some private problems to deal with so not so much done to the car. Now I have a new garage and started the build again

I have stripped the interior totally to remove all the heavy stuff and also remove the ac. I don't have any pic of it but its totally clean inside now.

I have also start looking on the brakes and bought some brembo 6 piston calipers to use in the front with 13.9" rotors. In the rear I will use 4 piston brembos with 13" rotors.

Here is two pics one of the front caliper with a 1,5litre bottle





Some new carbon mirrors on it


Tomei 2 way LSD from r32 gtr



Some gtr shafts


Epoxi painted s14 subframe to use with My hooker mounts.
