Sorted out turbo conversion

If anyone out there is thinking about going turbo only. Take advantage of my situation and buy a car that is already sorted out.

I am selling the car because a salvaged but legalized R34 GTS-T showed up literally in my back yard at a junk yard. So I need to get rid of this toy before I start playing with my new one.

That thing is going to look amazing. You gonna keep it silver? Other than fixing the damage do you have any plans for the outside? Or just the engine?

Good luck on the sale!

That R34 has got to be the greatest thing youll ever find in a junkyard. I'm not gonna lie, I'm jealous. Good luck with the sale!

I personally like the to be underestimated so the exterior will just be factory and debadged. If I can get 400hp out of a 1.6l sohc... With the NEO RB25det it's a much better platform.
