First North American VH45 R32 Skyline (afiak)

[funnygas]

So I blew my clutch drifting last October. I realized I need more torque, more power and a better powerband. "Rebuild the 20" I said. Then I saw the cost. "**** the 20!" I said. My buddy Steve tipped me of on the VH motor. There was one for sale on Craigslist... and here you have, the first North American VH45 R32 Skyline (there is another one, in New Zeland. There are a few pictures and a youtube video).
This project started in November of last year and included:
1992 VH45DE motor
Z32 transmission
XCessive S13 VH45 swap kit
- driveshaft
- solid motor mounts
- solid trans mount
- alternator relocation bracket
- shorter shift linkage
- smaller power steering pulley
S13 crossmember
Ebay Z32 short throw shifter
ACT HD 6 Puck unsprung clutch
Fidanza 10lb flywheel
Powersteering cooler (with steelbraided lines and AN fittings)
Unknown electric fan
Honda Civic clutch master with custom clutch pedal adapter fork
Completely removed HICAS
Driftworks Total Hicas Eliminator kit
PBM Solid subframe risers
Custom headers and side exit exhaust build by Doug @ Kamloops Autopro & Customs
Probably more I am forgetting.

Picture time!






The master, and his masterpiece.







Oh hello side exit exhaust.

Removed the regulator for header clearance. Removed rag joint in steering shaft.


FYI. Foxbody Main hoop. Fits. Rather well.


IT RUNS!!!
