    The GT-R model, the one where they dropped the Skyline name (which at the time was the Infiniti G35), was on a modified FM platform, same as the 350Z, G35, and FX35.
    Maybe this covers it..? https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/black-...roject.578384/

    That looks like the one. It’s interesting, because Nissan had something very different to say about converting it.

    “If the steering wheel is moved to the left, the GT-R has twin turbos, so the steering shaft would be closer to the turbo at the rear, which would cause a thermal problem,” Kozo said. “There was also an idea to make it a single turbo, but we gave up on that idea as it wouldn’t have been a GT-R.”

    . As I suspected the source was from another Nissaan.

    That is such a great looking Mustang. I wish I could talk my wife into one, but she is set on her Lexus which she doesn't drive since the Lincoln came to stay. A few years ago our neighbor had a base Mustang that had virtually nothing and was a lot of plastic and cheap everything inside. Now, she feels they are all like that.

    BTW, it has warmed up here, and yesterday the AC cut on for a bit. I have the windows open at night for a few days now. I guess it took putting the boat back in the Lake to get better weather.

    Finally got a minute to get these mounted, I’ll scrub them in after my morning appointments.

    Don’t look at my messy garage, I have a few projects going at once.

    Had a nice, leisurely drive out today—well, leisurely by time constraints, but not in how I drove. I’m so happy with this car. And holding out for a stick was the right decision, there’s no way I would have been happy otherwise. It’s just so much better to drive than automatic. I don’t know how people do it.

    I have to agree driving for drivings sake is definitely so much more satisfying and far less distracting with a manual.I don't glance at my phone I don't even put the radio on now that I say that probably makes you a safer driver
