1990, 1996 Nissan Skyline(s)

still shed loads of bodywork to do on the viva, since the pix were taken its had rear arches, sills, mostly now in primer, the rear has been lowered to where we want it and it looks fab, so understated no one will no whats under it! just the small matter of making 5.7litres sound like a 1256cc 4 pot............

The viva is brilliant love the wheels hehe.

ok the viva is being put together with the intention of keeping a stock appearance, its a shame i had to cut the bulkhead out as it was the only good bit in the floor when i got it!!! the engine in the pik is a 350 chevy, it will be built again with forged pistons, decent crank and rods, i have corvette heads with big valves, and a decent cam and the holley carb and intake u can see, i want to make a reliable 350hp then top it off with a 150hp nitrous shot ;D the box is a modded th350 with high stall torque converter. the axle is a dana 44 with lsd, narrowed with scimiter axle ends and back plates, brakes. competition engineering ladder bars and coil overs too, theres a summitt fuel cell in the boot. I'm keeping the rostyle wheels as i love the 70s look, vauxhall on the front and bigger 14in on the back from an mgb so i could use 215 60 14 drag radials, not had chance to do a lot with it this last few months but rest assured work will begin again in ernest shortly, ready for next year. watch this space

Any more pics of the Viva ?

the r33 is the rb25, arp bolts, forged pistons, greddy head gasket, tube exhaust manifold, garrett t4 with steel insides, big afm, apexi fc commander, 403hp, 425ftlb torque, with rwd its a hoot! r32 is the rb20, stock internals, fmi, garrett turbo, stainless manifold, hks dump valve, afm, big exhaust, mines ecu, makes 300hp and 260ftlb torque, rwd again as thats the only way to go, sideways!!

the viva will get its own thread soon as i get stuck into it again, gone thru a major upheaval this year so it had to take a back seat for a while, as for the interior, afraid not, ive got jazz fibreglass seats, b&m shifter, roll cage, fuel cell and pumps!! thats it for the inside, tho outside stock looking as possible ;D
