Does that Skyline (in the pix) have a chrome lip? In some pix it looks like it does and others looks like it doesn't....

Because the 240 is a car over here so it already existed with the safety standards this country has established I would think. Skylines did not meet in crash test ratings to be legal here and motorex( I think) did a lot of crash tests on them to figure out what to do to make them legal and kept it secret. Then they took WAY to many orders, didn't have the cars and they got shut down IIRC.

BTW I just made my generation 1 xmod skyline dope by take the shocks off of it, it drags the whole frame basically lul

Freed Engineering in MD will make any mount kit you want for it. Ben is a great guy to work with.

And yea, a LS1 would be pretty damn awesome.

Re: Dope Status.

Whats wrong with the stock motors? I know the bay is cramped as shit and it makes it really hard to work on it, but aren't the motors pretty reliable? Don't they handle a shit load of power stock?
