No only that - he got all the drivetrain redesigned, completely redesigned the suspension & everything about the car. (rather than the barry method of some spacers)

The end result is below...

However - he didnt just stop there because he wanted the engine to be a bit special. So what he thought he would do is drop a V12 Quad turbo engine in it. Now it's actually 2 RB26 Skyline GTR engines welded together to create one big V12, rather than the Skyline straight 6...
I think it's easier to buy a good Ferrari instead of doing this... However... it's a perfect job, the car looks exactly like the one in the JGTC... even the wheels are the same!
LOL yes but that would make a ferrari look like a shopping cart ....

the gtr looks way better. ... best looking car ever.. other then my 180sx
