    Don't worry, my camera will be on overtime

    Its the RB20DET 2.0 Straight 6 turbo. Its rear (proper) wheel drive.

    Its standard'ish at the moment. Should be running about 250BHP. Plenty of potential for the future though, and the bodywork's mint as it spent most of its 15 years in sunny rust-free japan.

    I'll make sure to get some sound files for you too, the sound is the best bit about the skyline i recon

    There we go, updated with some better quality pics that were taken by the previous owner.

    Cant wait to give it a damn good run, then give it a damn good clean and let the Nikkon D1 loose on it hehe

    Its a big car. But it's relatively light. Comes in at under 1300kg. Some more weight savings to be had as i plan to remove the fancy-ass rear wheel steer system.

    Should make a nice daily drive once i fettle it to around 300bhp. Go cart handling thanks to the coilovers
