Hey shannon, i brought the car off my close mate which is why i got it and for a descent price i thought

$2200.
Have found alota dodgy spots that were hidden from years ago, but all fixable. Did che do all your custom fabrication? Iv been talking to him with my mate scott stacey lately, hes told me about your setup. Iv been intouch with dataport aswell which have told me i can get the r31 brake kits and stuff all ready to go, custom adjustable crossmember kits, pretty much everything. And hopefuly che will wanna do the hard work for me

. so your r200 is out of an r31? Ive seen you can get r200s out of heaps of skylines and silvias. Which ones best and do they not all fit?.

Id be keen to come have a look at yours to get an idea of what to do to mine man.

Hopefuly my subaru sells this sunday for 8200$ so il have about 6500$ to spend on the datto. Get it to rotorua for a blast and then start the rust repairs.. Iv got my restorer sussed, he does amazing work ae, on railside ave. "total autobody" paintjobs one thing i wanna do perfect.

Be good to get in touch.
My numbers 021 311 316

Cheers dor the help man!

Where it is atm...
Soon to go get sodablasted in rotorua.
Ive done most of it with good old elbow grease, all the underseal underneath and in the guards, found the bog and sanded it all away, goten rid off all the surface rust.

Hey mate yeah Chee did a bit of work on my car - made up the intercooler piping, did all the wiring, built the surge tank you can see in the previous photo so I didn't have to have a smelly external surge tank & lift pump setup (works great), tucked the exhaust pu a bit cos the guys I paid $$$ to make it did an average job, and he tidied up a few things I could have done a bit better.

He's exceptionally good I have recommended him to several people since. I took it back to him when it was ready to dyno and he did the tune on Soichi's dyno

I'll give you a shout I'm taking the car a few places today might be able to swing by

By the way I also have a full conversion setup for an SR into 1600: Front crossmember, steering, coilovers with new Z32 280mm discs and 4 pots, gearbox crossmember, custom driveshaft, rear crossmember with 4" exhaust hole, moustache bar for R200 diff

What do you guys reckon the whole kit would be worth? It's all really nicely done

Oooo shit, i was planning on putting a 13b turbo in it. But an sr20 would be nice aswell

. And now i hear you have that setup. Hmmmmm
