No only that - he got all the drivetrain redesigned, completely redesigned the suspension & everything about the car. (rather than the barry method of some spacers)
The end result is below...
However - he didnt just stop there because he wanted the engine to be a bit special. So what he thought he would do is drop a V12 Quad turbo engine in it. Now it's actually 2 RB26 Skyline GTR engines welded together to create one big V12, rather than the Skyline straight 6...

I think it's easier to buy a good Ferrari instead of doing this... However... it's a perfect job, the car looks exactly like the one in the JGTC... even the wheels are the same!

LOL yes but that would make a ferrari look like a shopping cart ....
the gtr looks way better. ... best looking car ever.. other then my 180sx
Pok.

If you have the money why not buy your dream, im sure hes got a big face on his face everytime he sees it. It sure is a big effort but it looks like it was worth it

Any picture of the engine inside the car.. Coz I have seen my fare share of 1000hp skylines over here and belive me the engine bay is not large enough to take both of them with out extensive modification making the place a lot bigger... Would really like to see a pix....
And only 1 word explains this car... SICK..

sweet, merc v12s are awesome. I still wish he had been more pioneering and tried combining 2 RB26s into a V12, but nevertheless I'm sure this car has buttloads of torque. Would be awesome to see this baby race. Does it still have the AWD system or the Super HICAS all-wheel steering system?
