Hey all

Thought i would post up some pics of our twin turbo VH41 AWD R32 GTR Skyline.

The car is coming along nicely with the roll cage completed and the engine and RB26 gearbox installed. The adaptor plate has been finalised although the prototype has been used here to enable us to get the engine and box mounted up. the car has now been stripped back to a non rolling shell in order for us to get everything powder coated and the shell off to paint.

There are a few pics here to wet your appetite and i will post more as the work progresses.

Welcome to the site! Very cool project!

I'm curious, did you use the FGNY32 crossmember, or a modified BNR32 crossmember? I'm assuming you're using the Cima rear as well to keep the ratios in check? Or did you find a suitable replacement gearset for the Cima's front differential? I am very curious to see how this progresses.

we modified the R32 GTR front cross member and are going to get a hold of another rear end with suitable ratios. It should be alot of fun once its up and running but as with every project its just time and money

Badass, I've always wanted to see what a '41 would look like in an R32! Now I can show the boys!

This car is going to be killer! What size turbos you have in mind?

Very interested in this, as I would love to run one of these engines in my 32R, retaining AWD.

wow just wow... what is the purpose of this car.. straight line or time attack... doesn't look legal for a wheel to wheel racing.... unless it is a crazy class... looks really good imo... keep it up
