This weeks current project is replacing my fried clutch. It sees that the stock skyline clutch doesnt like life to much launching at 5000rpm, but I ran a 13.9. So now that ive got the money im gonna be puttin in an RPS Max Street clutch. Or else my car gets to sit longer cuse it will take bout 3 weeks to get another one in town. I cant beleive that its the only one in town and it not even here yet. Shitty deal. Anyways if theres anything you think I should know about these clutches please let me know. later.

Oh clutch got backordered, I wonder when they were going to tell me. Anyways I have a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch coming my way now, not as good but it costs less and it will get me back on the road.

New centerforce clutch is in. Bad news though, they messed up puting my car on the lift and cracked the side skirt on the drivers side really bad. Their fixing it or replacing it for free though its going to take at least a month before this can happen :(, my poor car.

Got a quote on my RB25DET swap, gonna happen this summer. Its gonna be the next step for the car so dont expect to see anything new come up till that happenes.
March 8th
The unthinkable has happened (well not really considering the cars age). I found rust the other day around the rear window. Had the estimate at $1500 to get it fixed, but the main problem is finding another rear window for a skyline as backup incase mine happens to break during removal. Unfortunatly I wont be able to get this fixed till I move back home April 7th, this is really setting back my plans for the car AND this summer.
Aug 31st
Well I havent been on for a while, the car is in perfect running condition. So I decided I would try to sell, but I figured id hit the tracks one more time bad idea ended up frying the breaks, so no one wants to buy a skyline with a grand in repairs that it needs. So I went back to my original plans of engine swap and shit then one day my buddy mentioned that he had an engine that he think we might be able to squeeze in, now it may not be a common swap for a skyline but RX-7s have been known for this swap either way the engine is being rebuilt now and I get into the garague next week to see what kind of room I have for a transmission.
Oct 4th
Well figured id drop an update cuse im bored, Engine is near re-built and engine bay near cleared. Everything is almost ready to go, right now I just gotta wait for some more garague space so I have room to do the rest. Engine tests show I should be putting out about 380hp to the rear wheels with about 410ft lbs of tourque. If anyone has any ideas on fram strenghtening I would like to know as this is going to be an issue that will come up pretty soon.
