Me : Hey mane, what's up?
Erwin : Heyyy , how's it going
Me : Great, and you?
Erwin : Very good, how's it Angie?
Me : Very clean as always, and your 33?
Erwin : With some aesthetic changes
Me : Which ones?
Erwin : You will see them in person
Me : Damn i'm excited, anyways, i need your help for something...
Erwin : Tell me
Me : I bought a 240sx for the winter beater project and i got a K20 for the engine swap and i need your help dude
Erwin : Nice! I like the idea! I have the weekend free, if u want i can go to there, i will grab some beers and bbq and in 20 minutes i will go with some tools
Me : Thank you dude! if u want stay here for the weekend
Erwin : I like the idea! How much work we will do
Me : We need to disassemble all the front panels, modify the subframe for fitting the engine, lengthen the steering column, modify the transmission tunnel and fitting the engine
Erwin : You have tools?
Me : Yes, but if u want bring some more
Erwin : Okay, no problem! In 15-20 minutes i will be there
Me : Nice! See ya!
20 Minutes later, Erwin and his beautyful R33 arrived, i was like a fool seeing that R33! Erwin , you picked up a very nice and clean r33 and make look more beautyful! Damn!
After so much admiration we set to work!
We put the engine in the side of the car for make the last pics of the car without the engine...
10 minutes later we dismounted the front panels and we making the plan for modify the subframe and the transmission tunnel without going 2 crazy and make a entire tube subframe, but then we were in our "break", talking about shit and from nothing we talked about something...
Erwin: Hey, you remember when you bought Angie?
Me: Yeah, i remember when i almost run over you for rae your ear with the rb20det melody lmao
Erwin: YOU FUCKING DICK!
Me: Hahahaha
Erwin: Hey, i know that you're so careful with your car, but i bet you a million dollars that you want to drift it...
Me: Heck yeah! But i don't want to drift it because i don't want to damage the 32, also i don't have spare wheels
Erwin: I got some ones in the trunk of the 33', Come on dude! You will enjoy it!
Me: Mmmmmm, okay, tonight we have to kill those spares!
10:00pm
We went to a parking lot in the outskirts of Osaka, put the spares, take off the plates and we're ready for starting the murder of those spares!
I swear that i enjoyed a lot that night! Angie behaved so good! Sadly my camera run out of battery, so i have one drift pic, but is a beautyful drift photo!
10:30pm
We went back to the workshop, we kept talking about the old times, about our projects, among other things, and so we continue until countless hours of the morning...

THE K20A2 STARTS!!!!!!
At that moment we were jumping and crying, full of happiness!
6:00pm
Erwin left the workshop, he was a little busy and wanted to relax, so he left the workshop, and the progress done was all that we can do at that moment, so perfect! He helped me a lot with this project, so thank you dude!

2:00pm
The driveshaft arrived!
The missing piece arrived! At last we can make this car work!
Also in the boredom i made an exhaust system from the manifold to the end with an exhaust tip that I had thrown around, it was very good and it did not sound very bad, with two silencers the noise was enough ...
3:00pm
The driveshaft was put in place, the exhaust system too, the engine were running and the car FINALLY was running!!!
I'm so excited!

We went to the "DMV" to register the 240! Hopefully we can pass the inspection...
5:00pm
IT PASSED! THE CAR WAS REGISTERED , FINALLY!!!
Now the winter beater is ROAD LEGAL! i'm so excited that finally i can drive this car ! Needs new coilovers ASAP , my coils aren't so bad, but i want some new coils because mine's are worn out, not so bad, but yeah.
Also i put the old spoiler, it was stored in the trunk, so a couple of bolts and ready 2 go!
7:00pm
To celebrate the achievement, i called Erwin and we went to drive on the highway to take some pics, going to a kind of shipyard to take some nice pics, but in the road was a lot of fog, so what do you think we would do? Obviously...
PHOTOBOMB!!!
8:00pm
We arrived to the shipyard so...
PHOTOBOMB!!!
I am very happy that things went so well with this car!
I still lack enough to get what I want, but it's a very good start for a very good project!
