Siluty Photo Update

That is some damn nice work. You have my full respect man. I wish I had the tools to do something like that. It must actually be easier to transform it from a coupe then a fastback cus a coupe you just have the normal trunk and the body line is almost like perfect for setup for the truk. Anyways keep up the amazing work. What color are you gonna paint it with?

[SHIFT_drift]

wow, that's looking crazy nice so far... and a vq? damn thats gonna be sweet... do ya have any more pics to show us? (or a link to more)

i looked at it and thought a coupe would be easier turned out pretty good just needed a lot of cutting,

there are a few pics on my team site just hasnt been updated in a while, www.d-unit.org

it will be painted out team colour gloss black with a chrome roof,
with carbon fibre in a few places, and bronze wheels.

[drftn13]

I don't necessarily like the conversion, but the fact that you're doing it yourself gets you much kudos. Two thumbs up.

[mk3mann]

how much was your VQ35DE motor???

just curious

[bboyt3nsk]

holy snap...i thought all those pics of truck conversions were shopped....props

[drftn13]

well i work for a nissan dismantler/importer here in new zealand , my current car has a s15 sr20det , so i wanted something differant, and as nissan is using the VQ35DE in all it race cars it made sense to use,

engine with auto bellhousing loom and ecu $1200
including shipping, they wanted an extra $2000 for the 6 speed box so im just putting the VQ bellhousing on a r33 25t 5 speed.

dam nice ride can't wait to see it in action....how much did it cost to do the truck conver.......

[drftn13]

hasnt cost much really, main cost is the fiberglass and roll cage steel but even those parts were $300
most parts im using are from my work so are a freebie.

i think you should do a detailed instruction guide on how to do this cause i'm thinking about doin the same thing to a fastback...
