I just did a bad thing ....

Post by chodjinn »

I really want the MGB running as soon as I've finished restoring the shell, so rather than spend a lot of money on coilovers/4-link and a silly rollcage, I'm not doing any of that. Should make it a bit more user friendly. But that leaves me with a small wedge of cash I'd put aside for the rollcage, and nothing to go mental on for a track day weapon.

.... so I just bought a Nissan Skyline R32! Well, I've got room for it.

Don't get too excited, it's just a shell. Oh, but what a shell! Haven't sorted it all out yet, but I'll post pics when I can 8) And no, I won't be using the RB26.


RIP MGB V8 .... served me well as a learning curve.

R32 Skyline V8 .... this one is gonna be a monster!

My brother is well into those. Very very fast when fitted with an RB30 and a turbo from a moon-rocket.

Chris,
Yeah if you can afford a second mortgage for one! I've loved the R32 since max power had a 980bhp Veilside one on the cover in the mid 90s :D

I couldn't resist this one, the shell is fully race prepped and it was a bargain (I hope!).

Yes. It's set up for an S13 front subframe, you can get engine mounts to bolt it straight in from the states but cheaper to just make some.
