Here are some rear brake and suspension shots. The diff is a R192 Locker in black paint.

 

 

 

 

Design Produces did the front and rear cross member with monoball construction.

Because of the tire issue I started with the suspension and brakes. I joke with my buddies I only want to do things twice. Im on my 5 version of the rear brakes & second on the front

Thanks it been along time coming. Im hoping to install the motor by July but that might be a dream. The body work comes right after the drivetrain is sorted.

It had a small leak after I worked on it. It drove me crazy I just pulled it to do an engine swap.

I just found a pic of the oil pan. I was so upset with the seller and the situation I stopped working on the car for months.

It's been a long time since  I've looked at these photo's car came with 14" Wats. When the car was shipped over I guess they just throw some used tires on the wheels. The front tires where install with camber wear but instead of installing them like this / \  or like this  \ / they where installed like this //. The first time I drove it on the freeway and the tires caught a seam in the asphalt the car darted a full lane over it scared the hall out of me. I thought for sure all the suspension was shot. It took me a little bit to figure that one out. The rear wing and front spoiler where removed for transport.

This will be a build tread about my 72 GTX Skyline. I bought the Skyline in Long Beach in Feb 2006. The car seemed to be in good shape minus a motor. The P O supplied a Nissan reman engine out of a Maxima. I had to find a oil pan for the car, that was no easy feat back then. I sourced a pan, and when it showed up it looked like the car hit a pot hole at 60 mph. After repairing the oil pan to working order. I installed the motor and the journey begins. I guess i was so excited I only took one pic the first time i saw the car and bought it.The next couple of pic's are when it was delivered to the Nissan dealership my Dad worked at.

Owner of V3 sent me an update picture.

 

 

Pretty freaking cool if you ask me.

 

 

I checked the 3D model and tilted the amount they did the intake side of the water jacket is just below the outlet so hopefully there won't be any steam pocket issues.

 

Snifff....I'm so proud:)

 

I wish I would have loved the ladder out of the background
