Hi!
I know its probably not right for me to post in this "Australian Skyline" forum, but since I have got a lot of help from here, I would like to post anyway. First of all, a short introduction of my self: My name is Morten Kiil Finsås, and Im from a town called Bergen in Norway. Im 24 years old, and I drove drifting last season, but not this season, thats because Im building a new car. First of all I want to thank BezerkR32 and 2rismo for the help on some of my question. This is a project that Im beginning on, a Skyline R32 with Chevrolet LS3 Aluminum engine for use in drifting. I just got the car, in relative good condition, but its just a shell, but sheep to start of with. The person that I bought this car from, tried to fit a V10 engine from a Ford Excursion in it (Idiot...  ) and therefor ruined the car. But since Im rebuilding it anyway and it was sheep, I did not care.Picture of the car: 
DSC00467.JPG ( 35.34K )
Number of downloads: 431This is a short list of things that I will do in the car: Chevrolet LS3 6.2L V8, aprox. 500 hp, aluminum engine Tremec T56, 6 speed transmission XYZ Drift Spec Coil Overs Aluminum bushing for sub frame Complete adjustable undercarriage Uniball bushing where available and Polystyrene bushing on rest Pedal box S14/S15 steering, Right Hand Drive(Not quite sure jet, but must get rid of HICAS) D2 Racing Big Brakes Kit Hydraulic hand brake This is some of the major changes Im making on the car. The engine and transmission is ordered and here is a picture of the engine: 
LS3.jpg ( 45.53K )
Number of downloads: 311As you can se, its a Corvette engine. Everything is brand new, and the engine model is 2008. -------------------- My Current Cars:

Time for some picture updates
The car has just arrived, and not much has been done with it. Im waiting for the engine and transmission, but you get an idea of all the problems the other owner made for me, when he tried to fit a V10 steel block from a Ford truck...

Hi Morten, i sent you a link in my thread for the radiator i used, but looking at the bar-work in the front of your car it looks like you may need a custom unit. unless the pics are decieving. PWR will build you one, you just have to draw it and they will fabricate it. I have used them for over a dozen conversions and the job is always perfect, and never a over-heating issue. they also do excellent thermo fans.

Yes, the bars are in the way, but Im going to remove them. The person who mounted the V10 engine, mounted these bars, so the front would not collapse of the weight. The bars are not legal in the Nordic Drifting Regulations ether. Some of the body work needed to be done on the car is: Remove the custom Firewall, and make a new one that fits the car and engine (The firewall was move 20-30cm back in the car) Remove the custom transmission tunnel and make a new smaller one Remove the roll cage and build a new one according to Nordic Drifting Regulations This is just some of the thing that has to be redone on the car... -------------------- My Current Cars:

It has been a while since I wrote here, but it has been a lot of travel latley on the work. But things have happened.
The engine arrived on friday the 4. july. Here are some pictures:       The engine seems to have shifted to one side and damaged the cover, but the engine looks great. Ron is shipping over one new cover to me.     I hope to get started with the engine mounting when I get back from vacation in two weeks, and then things will go a little faster on the fabrication side. -------------------- My Current Cars:

Drove a new LS3 powered Clubby for the week a little while ago and it went bloody hard in a car weighing 1800kg approx. In a stripped out Skyline it's going to fly.

Yea, Im hoping that it will work for drifting, but Im not sure until I have tried it...
I have been working the two last days on the car and I have got something done. As you can see on the pictures below, I have removed the Ford V10 engine and removed some of the reinforcement made in the engine bay to support that heavy engine and transmission. I have a engine hoist that is rated at 550Kg, but it struggled with the engine removal...

QUOTE(-wHiStLe- @ 28 Jul 2008, 01:46 PM) ^^ Now i can see how the bloke before you had moved the firewall back! And he has done a shitty job on everything. I have used my two last days patching up scars and bruce´s on the front of the car, left behind from the removal of the "reinforcement" that he maid for the engine. Also today, I finally got the front suspension off the car, and there was a lot of rust on the parts. Im glad most of the parts are going to be replaced with new one. I will upload some more pictures tomorrow. -------------------- My Current Cars:

one of the lads in NZ shoehorned a V8 into his R32 drift car (and put up a build thread somewhere) but this is awesome!
good work.  -------------------- < shan :: forum administrator :: team super fun happy sliders > |
