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.
