Awesome choice, gotta be my favorite Skyline. I love the fact that so much of the Skyline stuff interchanges with the Fairlady, Silvia, and others. I thought GTS-T just had the RWD setup with an RB25DET. I guess ya learn something new everyday. Work looks great as well,seeing that clean, shiny cylinder head really motivated me to get going. I have an RB25DET with the same exact head gasket problem. Got a Greddy headgasket, ARP head studs, and a Gredy timing belt. Now I just need to find a quality machine shop. Jealous as hell mang. Waiting to see how this polishes up.

Update time!
Since last I posted a couple little things have happened,
first things first, I GOT A JERB! Hory chow batman!
This added with me being on summer break come friday means sexy skyline dance party!
Secondly, I have acquired a RB20 block and crank origionally from a R32 GTST, everything's
nice and shiney and makes me very excited for the future plans of this car! This little beast
will always be inline six, for those of you worried about me V8 swapping because driftcar.
So far the plans for this are the following:
Professionally balanced crank
RB20 H beam foraged rods
RB20 foraged pistons (8.5/1)
Baffled oil pan
MLS Headgasket
ARP all the things
... you know, the good shit!
Also got myself some wheels! XXR 521's 18x10.? w/ 245/40 on the rear and 18x8.5 w/
215/40 on the front. Fronts arent on in the pictures as the tire didn't bead properly so
I'm letting the pro's get er' done!
Once I lower it a bit and roll the rears, she should be sitting near flush with the natural
camber of the suspension set up! Please excuse the dirtyness, been a long day ahaha!
INB4 "Needs more low" "Why modify the worlds smallest inline six" "your car looks like
arse" "Mitchell has a big pee pee"
I know all of this please keep your jimmies unrustled for now. because if they're rustled now
then prepare for a world of rustling.

"WOOH WOOH WOOH,
Hold the motha' fuckin' chow!
This "guai low" is still alive?!
What happened to this so called sweet build?!"
I'm sure that's what a lot of you common folk are thinking
Right about now. Yes, yes, thank you for youre concern
About my well being, not.
All jokes aside, since I've been gone a lot of things have Been going on with regards to... Basically everything life
Has to throw at you when you're a young and
Adventurous kid! But now That I've got a lot of things
Figured out I might as well show what little progress and
What is planned over this dirty winter build!
Since my last post I spent the rest of the summer spelt
Building up new fangled parts as well as driving the
Vehicle I hold so precious to me! The parts you will
Soon see as the build progresses, the only thing slowing
Me down is money, which is fine since it allows me to
Put a lot of my attention in the fine details! But enough
With the "I still exist, somehow " routine, let's get this
Ball rolling shall we?
The day I parked this beast I started ripping apart the
Interior to get an idea of the hack job the previous
Twelve owners have done...
Considering it's past it wasn't a that bad, just a lot of
Sketchy audio wiring and the shitiest alarm and
Command start job on the face of the earth (no pictures
But just think of when you are trying to use your
Headphones that were in your pocket all day and they're
All sorts of fucked up, then multiply that by 40 and
Pretend that they are 40 foot long wires for no god danm
Reason. Let's just say I wasn't a happy camper...
Suddenly out of pure impulse I said "fuck this front end
Air conditioning ghetto bash bar bull shit, it's gotta go."
Which was quite an effective anger management tool.
Also fuck stripped bolts made of marmalade.
Got a chance to test fit my rb26 valve covers that I got for
Free and the plasma man intake I picked up locally for
$50! Can you say smashing deal!?
And suddenly the whole thing was out a couple hours
Later! Looks like my input shaft seal might be going
Though, dl more money to spend, I can dig it.
Shhhhh its okay ill spend more time with you from now
On......
So do people want to know know a bit of a teaser for
Parts or should I just develop the largest cliff hanger
Known to man?
Thanks to everyone checking my little 2 litre out, shit
Should get real dirty as time goes onI'm not in huge
Debt for no reason!Last edited by DisorderlyGC8; 10-29-2014, 02:57 AM.

Well here I go again, something pretty came in the mail!
I am now the proud owner of a "ebay" top mount turbo manifold! And before any of you say anything along the lines of "omg dood wtf why would u waste Ur $$ on sum fggty pos ebay Mani, shits gon crack omg dood Ur so dum u scrub koni2012 yolo blaze it fggt. " Let me assure you little peasant that I leave no stone unturned so shut your food hole and open your eyes.
Behold the godspeed racing manifold in all it's glory! This bad boy was foraged by the hands of real myans tig welded to perfection with the power of a thousand Suns! Or Juan in a sweat shop... You know, whoever was avaliable at the time.
However as all items from eBay it wasn't perfect... Due to the welding the heat transfer Warped the metal a tiny little bit. (3 thou' to be exact!) but nothing a little decking can't fix! Other than that I'm surprised by the quality! Came ported and with all the hardware.
Now to wait for the adapter Flange from t3 To big boy t4.

So guys this build has taken some drastic turns and has had some major road blocks,
sometimes personal and life decisions effect your priorities and changes your mind set.
One of these major changes is both the fact that I'm going out of town every now and again for work,
which is nice and all since it pushes me forward to get my journeyman ticket and allows me to have
somewhat of a stable source of income since I quit my last job due to it being a sketchy shit show
and i was throwing 1 1/4 wrenches at the gnome looking mother fucker that claims to know how to
operate a lathe....
Another road block or opportunity I have come across is the possibility of opening up a small shop,
which will not only benefit me for my build (writing off build as marketing and planned trip to Japan
to "gather inventory"... hentai inventory that is...) but will also hopefully benefit others within the local
and possibly international communities if all goes to planned. which would be cool as fuck.
Anyways since I've kinda lost touch, I guess i should give you guys somewhat of a update!
NUMERO UNO!: bye bye RB20. Hello 1JZ! or well.... almost hello 1JZ.
Since things have been kinda up and down im waiting for the most opportune moment for when
I go pick up the infamous JZ, however I have been focused on other bits of the R32 as well. which brings me too...
NOMER DVA!: Holy fucking suspension overhaul batman. Let me begine to say everything on our little
skyline was compleatly dicked. every ball joint, every tierod end, the wheel bearings, the coilovers...
EVEN THE GOD DAMN HUBS (which I snapped the rear hubs apart due to a little fun.)
So I've spent most of my money making, buying, and designing stuff for the skyline (some
more sexy pictures will come soon). some parts include GK Tech front and rear knuckles,
Turtle garage hicas delete bar, rack relocation, bracing, new balljoints and arms and
bushings. I even went so far as to get the infamous edmontonian russian stoner skyline
owner (anyone from here knows exactly who I'm talking about) to machine me up some
4340 alloy subframe bushes! which is kinda neat.
Also did a lot of planning with my soon to be business partner with regard to what we are both going
to run as a team effort. and lets just say, the wrap is going to look sexy.
Anyways thanks for understanding, I hope to come up with a more infatuating and
entertaining post next time, hopefully with shit actually getting done. but, shit happens.
Also I got a van for $750 and threw my extra wheels on it (17x10 and 17x8.5) ... i think i might slam it...

I make a killing flipping cars too, bought a red r32 not too long ago for 2400, threw
some msd gm 2 post coil packs set up for wasted spark and cleaned it up a bit
and sold it for 5500 in 2 hours.
just have to have the Gypsy magic fingers....
