The SKYVIA ute is back !!

After much consideration, myself and the team had decided the ute was due for a make over. Plenty of supporters and fans were calling  the R34 front to come back. Along with this , the Ute was also due for some added KW so the decision was also made to upgrade the entire Power plant and driveline. The original SR20 DET engine and trans were removed. The entire interior, wiring and accessories were stripped from the car. The front end had suffered plenty of battle damage over the past 3 seasons and was in need of some urgent attention. the decision was made to cut off and remove the damaged chassis rails, and entire inner guards and radiator support.

I spoke with the boys from Monro Race cars. They were enlisted to bend up the necessary tube sections needed for the new tube front end. I custom made the tubs to suit the length of the now shortened chassis rails. A removable tube rio bar was also made to assist with any hard collisions in the future. The job always seems fairly straight forward before you start. But honestly I wanted everything to be right so the entire job realistically should have taken over 6 weeks. But with the assistance of my awesome crew Carey Haden, Cameron Esperon, and Daniel Zosky we managed to demolish the job in just 3 short weeks.

An entire rewire, different ECU, Dash , controls, cooling system, and all accessories along with full engine bay paint, interior paint , complete R34 GTR front end, RB 25 DET engine and gearbox, one piece tail shaft was all installed and running in under 3 weeks. I have to say a very special thank you to each and everyone involved Cartel Australia, Sam from HEL brake lines, Luke from G&A Wolfe smash repairs, Eastcoast Customs , Silky from Monro,  Justin Simpson from Horsepower Solutions, JT from Drift and Drag Wings.
