FB is almost ready for cutting. And my brother decided that FD rear axle and gearbox will be fitted to FB. Also all the suspension components.

He really wants to use that 13b-rew engine too. Problem is that, that engine has to be NA engine, and we dont know is that possible!? Can we swap rotors to other rotors(like FC´S NA rotors) to make 13b-rew a NA engine???

Axels are out from FD. Ready to be fitted to FB. We were suprized when we realized that FB and FD have exactly same lenght. (from axle to axle) And widht is almost the same, FD is just about 2 cm wider. :)

And seems like he cant use those Tein coilovers. They are just too short. They only have like 8cm area to move...

Wow, his garage bill must be massive for heating and power alone!

Well, not a rotary but... :)
Little project/toy. I have been doing for few months, just for fun.
I got it from friend, for free. Nissan Sunny -94, 1.6L 16v

Found some rust, but overall condition is good.

Interior is gone, lots of weight saving. Im quessing about 80kg. Front door alone, 8kg of.

Car is done 260t km and engine internals still looks like new. :)

Intake and fuel system looks good. I think that i dont have to do anything to it. Just little porting and increase fuel pressure.

Just starting to port the head... :)

Updates:

Nissan is quite ready. Engine seems good and makes good power. Maybe in a few days i can go to give it a "shakedown". :)

My brothers FB has now Fd`s rear axel. Boot is cutted because it needed more space that we thought. He has build new suspension towers too. Front has custom made (by my bro) axels fitted with Fd´s brakes. Also he purchased custom made (to him) coilovers to front and back. Fd´s steering is ready to be fitted. Rollcage´s main components are orderer and are home waiting to be installed.

Rumours of that car has allready waken some guys. One fella is coming to see that suspension. ;) I have started to hunt some sponsors. Also, saturday we going to go see a bus project, witch is perfect for a motorhome. Previous owner allready started to do that.

I\'ve just checked your forum account permissions and everything is fine, so you should be able to post pics. If it still doesn\'t work, check the image file size isn\'t too large, as the forum will prevent you from posting those.

An alternative - have you got a photobucket (or similar, free) photo-hosting account so you can put links on here to photos you post up there? I hope that makes sense :)
