Well im not starting the build until monday but im going to post some prebuild info. The car is as the title states a 1991 Nissan Skyline GTR. He has plans to bump the horsepower from the stock 325-350ish to aroudn 500 next summer. And then to follow he wants it painted Lamboghini orange lol which would probably cost more than the cars worth. but would look //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

As of now it has some japanese aftermarket deck that doesnt even pick up fm stations and crap sony speakers all around. so obviosuly it is time for change... There will be two or three stages to the instal. First off i will be installing all the wiring, headunit, ipod, component amp, components. will be something like this minus the sub amp. also the bassworks 1/0 is actually going to be 2/0 welding cable. the 4 guage is directed..and i do beleive the rcas are also directed.

Heres what is all going in (note its a lot of DD...soundpressure would like this //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif ) lol anyhow:

After this part of the instal, the whole car will be deadened. raamat perhaps

it should be nice:cool:

 
ya it is a nice car. i was never a fan of skylines until i drove it...does it ever go hah

driving it was really easy actually...just have to make sure you stay in the lines

and 500 horses + awd = kinda fast

nope.. its exactly the same. the clutch is in the same spot...and the shifter is like this:

2 3 5

1 4 R

if you look close in the last pic you can see a little sticker with that same diagram

 
the increased horsepower wont make it look that much different

ill make a video...then you can see it go with 500 horses.

 
****, I wish they'd make those over here.. w/tha seat on tha side we're accustomed to..

Look forward to watching this build..

 
I'll be doing 4 dd 1508's real soon. You could do a sundown 1500d for power. Thats what i will be doing. They are great amps and very efficient.

 
I actually had a chance to buy one, but it was 'totalled' which consisted of only the hood fenders and body kit (front bumper cover) There were no damages other than those that were "major" and it was only $1800, 'cause they pulled the motor, but it came with another motor. I should hav bought it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif Some guy has it on a dirt track out here now, and it's amazing.

i would consider it...but for a couple hundred more he can get the DD M2 which does 1.7kw.. or the m3 which does 2.7kw and it matches. it will be a show car so it would be nice to have the matching amps. imo they are pretty nice and since he doesnt have a tight buget may as well spend a little more for a better product.

 
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.
