    It looks like the Skyline came from Russia before imported to USA. Clues: Russian phone number card (leave in windshield in case your car is blocking something) Maintenance receipts where in Russian ИТОГ=Total and the price in rubles, also has blue dealer stamp. If I had a clear picture of the receipt I could probably find the dealer where it was serviced at and possibly get the owners name in Russia. I can call and get a little more history on it.

They now sell for at least 20K if it runs, and you would probably have to pay 10k for a rolling shell now a days. Just saw in the 2nd hand market place, someone selling a 1996 RX7 for $98,000 AUD and thats almost 3 times what they used to cost when you bought them 2nd hand all those years ago now.

    The winch on the trailer could have held the tension, allowing you to let it down slowly. Glad there were no injuries.

    I’m excited to see what you’re gonna do to them. Especially the Evo cause I’ve always wanted one but could never afford one. As far as the rust on the Evo Mitsubishi’s are notorious for rusting on the rocker panels near the rear wheel arch.

    I, for one, care about the C4 electric conversion. So here’s a comment from someone who cares about it and wants to see more about it. Double motor? Sweet. That’s going to have some power. And where did you get the motors??? I’m looking for electric motors for my conversion and I haven’t found any sweet used ones.

    @Richrebuilds Thank you for this episode!!! *_* and the C4 update lol We love you guys! Have you considered a gofundme to restore those cars without worrying about budget? There's a popular channel on here that got massive support to restore their Cessna 401, they even got AmmoNYC to detail it!

    My 2005 Civic EX isn't exactly iconic, but it was ruined by a teenager. It used to be such a fun car to drive, too.. mainly because I had swapped a 2.4L from a CR-V into it and rebuilt and ported/polished the head for high flow, and went stage 3 high lift camshaft, upgraded connecting rods, 15:1 compression, 88mm bore, race bearings, it was probably making about 320HP at the crank N/A. Put a 6-speed from the RS-X Type S in it and put the RS-X 5-lug hubs, and some coilovers on it. Then I got hurt at work and couldn't do anything with it, so I let my nephew drive it for a while. That was a major mistake. He destroyed that car.

      My thoughts exactly, seeing the winch even before he explained the idiotic plan. Bonehead move and very lucky only a POS was damaged. When he started moving the skinny ass 2x4's, I thought for sure it was a set up for something funny. I felt embarrassed for him...

  • @xaytana
    @xaytana 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm curious, is the transmission tunnel in the C4 wide enough to slip these motors into? I'm not sure what the dimensions of the C4's tunnel is, it's not exactly something you can just look up, I just know that manuals and automatics had different tunnels. If they are wide enough, sneaking these two as far back as possible would probably do wonders for weight distribution, especially if you're going for a reasonable sized battery. Also, torque tube on the C4? C4s have a driveline support beam that links the transmission to the differential for torsional rigidity, C5 and onward is what has the torque tube, unless the C4 has one swapped in but there's really no reason to do so.

    I payed $23,000Aud back in 2017 for a Evo 7 GSR with 90,000Km, the car looked great on the surface but I failed to check the underneath and it was rusted pretty bad. Hole in the rear passanger foot well, crank shaft seal let go, radiator support was pretty much flaking off and all shocks were spent. I replaced the shocks and drove the car for another few years but decided to sell since it would of been a massive undertaking replacing panels and fixing the rust. I ended up selling it close to 30K in 2020 and got my money back, for me it was my childhood dream car and it was the one that got away.

    I'm sure every single one of those 6 people (who've been asking about the C4) is me. Thank you very much for the update!
    I know it may not look as popular as others (granted you have other non-C4 related videos that are also only at 300-500k), but I think with the light weight and good aero it has, once you put the motors in you'll be very surprised with how much you'll like it. It would just be a shame if you put the batteries in the "trunk" instead of under the hood / in place of the gas tank cause it would remove any sort of utility it has and as a result you'd never drive it.

    That r33 is from Russia. I would double check the condition of the structural frame if I was you. That kind of dirt on the engine most likely because of driving in winter on the roads with chemical reagents. So I would also double check for rust. I would gladly help you to translate the service papers and run the vin in russian databases.
