Part 1:
As a donor car for the drivetrain and suspension, a good running r33 gtr was found and purchased in Japan. Working with an importing specialist, the car was carefully cut up and sent over in pieces.
Part 2:
The initial cut on the R33 has been made and the process of stripping it down to a workable carcass has begun. The S13 will stay left hand drive.
Part 3:
As the process of thinning down the R33 continues, the next step will be fixturing it to the frame table to make the important cuts and prepare it for the S13. A quick shot of breaking down the RB26 and getting the platform ready for machining at Precision Race Engines.
Part 4:
R33 is officially on this one of a kind fixture jig table. You won’t see another one like it. Temporarily jigged in place to be further trimmed down. The a-pillars and rockers will be cut out to allow the floor pan to sink into the S-chassis.
Part 5:
After another round of big cuts on the R33, the A-pillars, rockers and partial firewall are now gone. Thankful for the forklift on this one to remove that big piece. Time to start replicating the cuts in the S13.
Part 6:
S13 floor is cut out, R33 is clip is trimmed and prepped. Now onto the fun stuff, laying the body over.
