SilentNight1647 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I have exactly 104 days until I get shipped in a rather uncomfortable box to Japan to be part of CAG 5 more specifically VAW-115, and about $10,000 in the bank, so logically I start to look for stuff to buy I was going to finish the body work on my 240 and get my ZX painted but a new thought hit me like a ton of bricks. We've got hybrid Zs, hybrid S chassis, hybrid RX-7s and god knows many other unholy spawn, so why not a Hybrid GTR? I've got it all worked out, I'll overnight the 406 in my car to my hangar weld it in a voila! Hybrid Skyline! So beyond the obvious reasons this isn't going to work can anyone think of a reason I shouldn't do this? The way I figure it the GTR is last unmolested Nissan chassis not to see some firebreathing American iron under the hood. And after I do that I am going to rig up a driveshaft from the jet engine on an E-2 Hawkeye so I can smoke the tires. I'm starting to think letting a redneck go to Japan may not have been the Navy's best move but what the hell I'm going to enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentNight1647 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 DAMN! Oh well that setup looks sick though I might try something just like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy Japan - I recently finished my tour with 121 - the Bluetails and am now down in Kingsville, TX instructing with VT-21. I'm guessing with the long timeline you are a NFO? If so, I'm so sorry that you had to deal with all that crap! I don't envy the NFO pipeline there. I heard our former Bluetails weren't the "prefered" instructors - i.e. they were the hammers. Wait, on edit- I just saw your location is Jackson - does that mean you are in school at Meridian? If so, what rate? Anyways, the LS1 in the GT-R, you'd lose the AWD so I don't know that its a prefered swap...... If you can ship a clean early 240 over there, you can sell it for a nice profit though as they are in high demand. I have heard $15-20k. Enjoy Japan - everyone I know who went there really did. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentNight1647 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 No I'm not an NFO I'm just a lowly enlisted AT but I enjoy banging wrenches on WRAs so it's all good. The long timeline is because of the wait for another "C" school I have to go to before I can be attached to 115. Jackson is home for me but Jackson,NE not Jackson,MO. I do plan to thourghly enjoy myself in Japan and I really hope I like it everyone I talk to that has been their says it is great but it's along ways from home. I hope you enjoy your tour with 21 I hear training squadrons are a blast for instructors. Oh I almost forgot I decided AWD is too fun to lose so I will hold off on any kind of v-8 swap until I can figure out that little problem.

Guest 280ZForce Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 here's a vid of the r34 gtr w/ the ls1 TT in action... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentNight1647 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Jackson is 100 miles north of Omaha and about 8 miles west of South Sioux pretty close to Ponca if you know where that is. And that video was sick, after thinking it over again I am going to to some form of an SBC swap on a Skyline it would give me bragging rights forever, 1: for owning a Skyline 2: for owning a v8 powered Skyline.
