Right well I'm bored so I figured I'd start a thread...
Had the KE70 a little over a year now, used it as a daily for a good while, planned on going 4AGE a while back but flaked out and bought an S13...
After the brief stint with the darkside, I decided not to own another Nissan for a fair while and sold it haha. It was a great car and didn't give me any grief whatsoever mechanically, just everytime I looked at I died a little inside haha.
With the money I had left over, I purchased a blacktop 20v halfcut, a W55 and bellhousing and all the other necessary RWD business.
The conversion is drawing nearer, I just need to have my clutch made up and possibly a tailshaft depending on whether or not I can source the correct halfshafts at a decent price, then we're all ready to go!!!
Still not too sure on the tailshaft but it's looking like I'll just have one made up.
Anyway, the body's nice and rusted up and there's a few dings here and there but it's a keto so no problemo there. I'm not going to bother painting it, I'm going to (don't laugh, it's going to be sick) carbon fibre wrap it. Like a vinyl wrap. Don't really care what people think, I'll probably only do the front and rear halves of the car in the wrap and just paint the doors and roof black or grey or something. The car's going to be a streetable track car as in track car with rego and it's main purpose will be to go and have a good time at QR, Archerfield and wherever lets me be an idiot with my car legally , nothing else really, just the occasional drive to get me where I need to be.
Not reaaally planning anything with wheels, the MA's go alright and I've got a set of Advan A3A's I want to get widened...Might just end up doing that and rocking those.
Coilovers are a must but will be a while before I can afford them and..well decent suspension gear of any kind so until then I'm just goign to buy some KYB short strokes and throw over some springs to get it nice and stiff. And low..Same for the rear. Thinking 7kg up front and 5kg rear or something... Will be buying some RCA's and a panhard rod to help out on that front.
So, some pics...Not in any particular order....There's one of me looking like an right douchebag in there too. Just so you can put a face to the name I guess..
Ahh pic uploader is being gay so will just link you to photobucket...
You should be able to scroll through them all...
Cheers, will update as shit happens

Forgot to mention too, I'm not doing all of the work but I help where I can, this wouldn't be happening if it weren't for two good friends and pretty much all of the credit goes to them.
Hopefully buying my clutch within the week's end and then we're pretty much ready to start ripping the 4K and associated drivetrain out and slotting in the 20v and box
