1992 Nissan Skyline GTR #6653 — RedlineXHistorial de Trabajo16
New turbo kit installed, tuning to follow.Finally cleaned out the old engine, all that's left now is the new one waiting to be installed and started up.
+2 másLowering and flanging took all day, the sound at idle is almost musical now, just need to finish up the piping and it's done.Swapped out the clutch, pistons, and cylinder head; now just waiting for paint and assembly before firing up this beast again.The new manual transmission is shifting smoothly now, a major milestone in the rebuild process that's taken over 80 hours of labor.Spent the last day of the weekend tucking away those long pipes, now the exhaust note should be just as sweet as I envisioned.Swapped out stock axles with heavier ones from a donor car, now we're seeing some real traction and improved handling in the twisties.Swapped out the old GM mill for a 350 small block, took about 4 days of intense labor to get her running smooth.
+3 másSwapped out my stock gears with a set of stronger, lighter units that should give me some nice gains in the hills.
+1 másNew mill engine in, coolant system flushed and bled - all systems go for the rebuild of my project car now.Swapped the old 5.0 for a rebuilt V8 with 20,000 miles on the rebuild job, can't wait to see the power difference.The catback system sounds amazing and the 3" tip exhaust pipe adds just enough rumble to wake up my morning coffee crew.The rebuild was smoother than expected, with only a few minor setbacks that cost me an extra hour or so of labor.
+2 másThe 350 small block was a beast to work on, but with over 100 hours of labor, it's finally breathing easy again after its rebuild.Updated torque reading after swapping to forged pistons with 380 lb-ft instead of 370 lb-ft as previously reported.Swapped out the old gasket with a brand new one from a reputable supplier, hoping that'll cure the oil leaks for good now.
