R30 Guru's V8 82 HR30 Skyline

[R30 Guru]

Here's another project that I happened across on trademe.



Ive been toying with this Idea for sometime now and this just happened to crop up on trademe 1 day.

The guy I bought this of has already had this running with a P76 Alloy V8 in it and reckoned it went really well!!



Have another bonnet to replace this mess.



These tunnel mods are very well done by the previous owner

so what are the plans?

[R30 Guru]

Well the plan is to fitt a VH45DE in it with apush button change auto trans from a patrol and go drag racing in the short term, or maybe run as a GT1 circiut car??

Hi there,
I'm the guy who was advertising the long dogleg box on trademe a while back, are you still interested in a swap for a R30 box?

Update#1

Well guys after having this sitting around for awhile now I finally got it of My mums lawn and into the workshop for some well overdue attention the plan is to get it to look a little like the pre facelift version of the Tomica R30 Super Silhouette formula series in 1982 & 1983



So I have started to fabricate the widebody guards that made it a force to be recond with for so long

That looks the business!

Update#2

Here's the next picture



have done more since this but don't have pics of it yet 1 main difference between mine and the Tomica R30 is that their's is around 200-250mm longer in the back end which to me just looks wrong!!



I guess if it just dont look right when its finished I can always extend it
