Not all skyline gtrs came with the same engine. i do belive the nismo edition has a different one..and yes, its 15 years here until you can import legally. well register legally

All of them, including the V-spec, V-spec II, Nismo R/Z-Tune and the M-specs were all the RB26DETT. The only one with a different displacement was the Nismo Z-tune (the RB26 stroked to 2.8L). The rest were either blueprinted or had a certain few parts made out of different material (aluminum or carbon fibre) that set them aside from the base model GT-R. Still the same old RB26, just tweaked versions of it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

How the hell did your friend get his hands on a Skyline. Im not a huge import fan but even I would like to own one. Are they available in Canada, or was it imported? I guess I assume imported since its lhd. Id convert it to rhd before I looked into making it faster.
Sweet ride for somebody.

You dope these cars are like ars@#$les here in oz and the one thing is tha if you convert from RHD to LHD they lose all there presicely balenced handling that nissan spent milloins perfecting if you fdont like the way it is buy a domestic and live with that Skylines rock in all ways OZ has all manner of them and they are all RHD you numpty they wernt made to be lhd as the engine and turbo wont allow it

Ouch thats gotta hurt, but he can probably get the insuranc company to not total it, just kick them a lil money to offset the cost.

 

[mikey060 10+ year member]

the engine dropped about two inches he said...so frame damage is a posibility. that will be determined soon

if there isnt frame damage, i think he will rebuild it. however is there is, its going to jdm heaven.

thats hard to look at man... i think it's fixable

 

[mikey060 10+ year member]

indeed. it is hard to look at. i was suppose to have the car today...

all that work...

and if the frame is bent, it cant be repaired. not easily atleast. you cant see the extent of the damage since its not obvious. like the engine droping down...

You're not trying to say that the owner is going to buy a Z-Tune if this car is totalled, are you? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif There were only 20 made.
