1992 Nissan Skyline GTR #d608

The big block's in, but before I can start tweaking, I've got to get her on the chassis dynamometer for some weight distribution checks.

01

Swapped out the internals, got her purring like a kitten again - 700 hours and counting, this job's been a beast of a project.

03

Swapped out the stock internals, replaced pistons, and got the new crankshaft all bolted together; still waiting on rebuild gasket shipment to finish up the job.

10

Had to replace both upper and lower bushings, which made for some interesting math to get back on track, but now the chassis feels solid again.

00

Swapped the motor out after 100k miles of faithful service, ready to breathe some fresh air into this old girl's veins and squeeze out that extra 10 horsepower.

00

Replaced the entire subframe with a stronger, more precise unit, reducing flex and allowing for tighter suspension adjustments. Now the rear end tracks perfectly in every corner.

22

After hours of messing with adapters and fittings, the engine now bolts up without any drama - mostly.

02

Finally managed to get the engine in and have it all bolted together after a long day of swearing at stubborn bolts.

04

After rechecking my data, I've confirmed the correct torque spec for my engine rebuild is actually 320 lb-ft, not 350.

Just swapped out the exhaust manifolds, took me a few extra hours to get them bolted up tight and tested on the dyno, running smooth at 550hp.

00

Rebuilt the 3.9L V6 to spec, had some nasty oil leaks to iron out before calling it a day.

02

After countless hours of cleaning, boring, and machining, the engine is back together and on the dyno tomorrow to test its new life.

01

The 5.7 crate engine from a truck fit perfectly, with only minor modifications to bring its power output in line with my build plans.

01

Re-tested with a new camshaft and saw a significant increase in horsepower to 650 at 5400 rpm with 450 lb-ft torque.

00

Swapped out pistons and rings yesterday, now just waiting for the new connecting rods to arrive and assemble everything. Really enjoying this part of the build process so far.
