Nice, Welcome aboard.
Looks like a tidy example, keen to see how you develop it.
What trans / Shifter anre you using? What are the plans?

And the heart of the beast,(before I installed the radiator setup)
Still that messy intercooler pipe to sort out and a couple other bits and bobs,it's running a t3/t4 set up external wastegate etc,real tidy motor,
Wanting to get a good ecu for it if anyone knows of a good company to go with???
Was thinking Link,but still unsure
Cheers guys

Hey Classicdats thanks for replying man!!!
I'm just running the standard trans from the Dr30 skyline the motor was from,
Shifter is standard Dr30 aswell,
All really tight and strong,motors definitely had some work by previous owner of the engine looks to be a L26/28 head on i to the ports look bigger the standard L20,

As for plans I'm wanting to make it look like it's fresh out of Japan street style,
Going really really low with it ,

The wheels are away getting widened to 9j front and 9.5j rear(in these pics they are 7.5)as you can see there is heaps of room to fill those guards ,with gold centres ..I CANT WAIT TO GET THEM BACK!!!
Only a couple weeks now id say

Just wanting to get a good ecu to get full power from the motor

And panel and paint,the body is super tidy from the looks of it it has not much cheese filler in there,a couple tiny bits of rust to deal with but that's to be expected,the previous owner has fully under sealed it so I think that's saved it a bit

I'm thinking of painting it a new school Toyota colour,deepish metallic brown,similar to a colour they came standard but jazzed up a tad
Or a silver with a dash champagne goody/brown
