Damn Skylines...

... or rather their drivers, haha.

Pulling apart the right side of my friend's GT-R tonight. He toasted the right side suspension sliding into a curb; We replaced all the control arms, toe links and the right front axle. Also installed the HICAS lock-bar since we had the whole car apart anyways.

Should be back on the road friday.

I thought skylines were all AWD? Maybe it's just me but that one appears to be just RWD????

Actually one thing I noticed alot about imported skylines is that some aren't GTRs instead they are the GTS-T models that have FR drivetrains. You could tell by the front grill which is less open than the GTR models.

Where exactly do you source parts for your car when something like that happens? You can't walk down to your local nissan dealership and order replacement parts now can you?

It's a full fledged GT-R. It's AWD. There's lots of GTS-Ts running around as well, I almost bought one for a fun car.

And you can order some parts from Nissan, but they take a while to get here. We just found a guy with a parts car and started pulling parts.

Weird cause I don't see a front CV shaft. LoL, I'm blind, the CV shafts are laying on the floor
