The good , the bad , and the ER34.




-✔ Hey guys , so , first of all , today was probably the most fun I had in quite a while. Skip and Radcoon showed up at the shop in the afternoon and man , after a little bit of chatting we took the ER for a little bit of "hoonage" and man it was fun ! The car was sliding around with 4 people in it ! I don't know how the NA engine managed to pull all of that weight and slide so good but I gotta say , this is one hell of a car that I bought ! Skip sat next to me in the front and Radcoon had to sit in the back with Mackay because he was scared of my driving :)) . My boys know , sometimes you just gotta send it ! Also , I really love seeing others peoples cars evolve ! Radcoons 1JZ swapped '86 is just so clean ! It's such a sleeper , and Skip's Supra , oh man , that thing looks fire with the bodykit he's running ! I'm glad I moved to Osaka , life is just perfect over here...✔-







-✔ So , this morning I decided to make use of the Super Taikyu wing from the S14 and I slapped it on the ER. It looks great tbh. A little bit of more downforce never hurt anyone , so why not put it on there ? Fun fact , I wasn't completely confident in my skills of drilling a trunk , because y'know , it's kinda bad if you mess the trunk up and just make useless holes in it so I ended up letting Mackay drill the trunk. Big thanks to him , I was way too scared to drill into a Skyline trunk but he did it for me. It fits and looks great , too bad I'll have to take it off soon 'cuz the ER is going to paint on Saturday. The color will be quite unexpected so stay tuned for that ! I'm gonna keep the color secret and then do a little reveal on Monday. Man , it's gonna be great ! I can't wait to see that thing painted , it'll look so sick ! ✔-





-✔ I've worked more on the R33 today as well , I took every bodypanel off the R33. It's pretty much stripped to the chassis right now and I'm gonna send it to paint on Saturday along with the ER. While the cars are going to get repainted , I'm gonna work a bit more on the engine. I still have to strip it down to the block and tommorow all the parts for the engine should arrive. So , in theory , the engine should have over 600 hp and maybe with a good tune on the ECU , we're probably going to reach close if not over 700 hp. I don't know yet what the final number is , but I can't wait to get the R33 finished and dyno tuned. Here's the part list that me and Mackay made for the RB build :
I'm gonna run some R888's all around for maximum grip since this thing will be RWD. I changed my mind and I'm gonna get the 275/40ZR18 R888 tyres for the rear and the 245/40ZR18 R888's for the front. Now all I have to do is just find some rims to fit the tyres , but that's a long way from now. I hope the overall wheel setup won't be too overkill , but the first thing we need is to have the engine running perfectly at peak hp and after that I'll order the rims and tyres . We're getting there , that's for sure ! :) ✔-




-✔ In the afternoon the guys showed up and Radcoon brought me some things that I ordered. The air freshener went straight into the Supra and man , it smells like new car smell ! I'll have to get some more for my other cars 'cuz I love it ! He also brought that shift knob I ordered and man , it feels so weird to hold. That won't go in the Supra , it'll go in another car. The guys at the shop made lots of jokes on that shift knob , and it sorta became a meme among us , oh well , I can't lie , it does look weird... I'm more than sure my mom would be surprised to see what I'm spending my money on... :)) Also , these Bride seats are perfect for daily driving ! They're really comfortable and they hold you in place really well ! Mackay likes them too ! I'm so obsessed on how good they look though. Anyway , I don't know if I should turn the Supra into a street beast after the R33 is done , but I do know that these 2J's can hold a ton of power ! But y'all know that with great power comes great costs and I don't know how my budget will look like after the R33 is done. I got scared a little bit when I saw the overall cost of the engine parts , and I still need to buy new suspension , wheels , brakes , seats , and body panels. It's getting tough I must say... ✔-

-✔ And there's the ER getting sideways. It was so fun to just rip it ! All of the mods Mackay did to this go so well toghether ! This is probably the best drift car I've ever owned. The ER kinda became the shop's drift car if that makes sense , because I mostly keep it there just in case someone wants to go rip it around the shop. It's really fun , and the NA RB is doing the job just fine. The look on Radcoons face while drifting was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I just had to prove myself that I can drift decently enough. All the fun ended when I started doing a burnout and the rear tyres popped. Oh well , I guess I'll have to get some new tyres now , but I can't say it wasn't worth it. If any of you guys want a ride in the ER , come down to our shop , we're always open to car enthusiasts ! I must say , moving to Osaka was probably the best thing I've ever done. ✔-



-✔ Anyways , that would be all for now. I think I'll be a bit busy tommorow because I still have to strip the RB down to the block and install all the new parts. Also , don't forget to stay hydrated guys ! It's so hot lately ! Luckily , the shop has some baller air conditioning units that just make the place so cool ! Anyway , I'll see you guys next time , godspeed homies !
