1972 Skyline with 450hp at SEMA 2019

SEMA 2019, the home of modified cars, a chance to show off your wild and wonderful custom builds. Much like this 1972 Skyline built by owner and custom builder Joel Tan. His Skyline has been extensively modified with a turbocharged 2JZ dual VVT-I engine, pushing out 450hp and mated to a 5-speed transmission. Keeping this monstrously powerful engine is an uprated Koyorad radiator

The car was originally right-hand drive, so Tan converted it to left hand drive and fitted the car with a rack-and-pinion set up taken from a KP61 Toyota Startlet. The steering rack feeds a beautiful set of 14-inch Colin Project Wheels rolling on R888 toyo tyres. The wheel/tyre combo looks menacing with the car’s low aggressive stance.

Asked the amount of dough he’s spent on the project, Tan replied in the way only a true car nut can: “I’ve lost count already, sir.” By Tan’s description of the vehicle’s reception—he calls it a “showstopper”—at this year’s show, it seems like it was money well spent.

Norton Way Motors Ltd is also authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for consumer credit purposes. We offer a range of vehicle finance facilities through a panel of carefully selected third-party lenders. We do not provide customers with independent finance advice and will not offer facilities from lenders outside of this panel. Norton Way Motors Ltd is a broker for finance and not a lender. The lenders that we use are given first right of refusal. This is because these lenders will pay us a commission for introducing you to them. Commission may be calculated based on either a fixed amount relating to the vehicle you are purchasing, a percentage of the amount of finance you are borrowing, or a combination of both. We may also get paid an additional fixed commission if you are a returning customer. Different finance lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions. Such payments will not affect the amount you pay under any finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender. We will inform you of the amount of commission that we will earn in good time. We will require your consent for us to receive this commission. Our approach is to introduce you to a lender on our panel who will offer you the best package taking into account eligibility, product suitability, as well as interest rates and other factors. Our aim is to secure the best deal that you are eligible for. You do not have to take our finance as it is available through other distributors. You can arrange funding for your vehicle elsewhere and it may be cheaper.
