Well, the BMW is just... there, for now. Anyway, today I picked up a nice car. A Nissan Skyline "GTS-T". It's not completely stock. It has some adjustable arms, Greddy Type-S shock absorbers, Tein springs, and Wilwood brakes all around. It has been used mostly for drifting and random track use, so it's just sitting on some steelies with somewhat worn out tyres. It also has aftermarket exhaust system, which makes the car sound extra nice.
Oh yeah! I almost forgot.. It has an RB26DETT swap, and the car is rear wheel drive. So the car is great to drift with. |

# dxg1997 : @above No, I didn't... I saw that in the error log but didn't know what it was. How do I install those?They should be in the Fiero's original ZIP. Copy them into parts\scripts\bodypart\SRC or something similar, in the Street Legal directory. You shouldn't have to create any new folders to do this.

@Harrison15 I found em in parts/scripts/bodypart and copied them over.
@Facepalm I added some bodyparts to the car, and a supercharger, but the engine only has 376 hp. I looked it up, if your car is above a certain age, you need a rollcage... (Made it up but I think its a good rule...) The superchargers like "Fuck you physics!" in the second pic |

Had a small accident on my way home, because the road was a really slippery. Managed to hit the ONLY thing there was to hit on the entire road, so the front got a little damage. The grille and left headlight was smashed, and the frontbumper was broken too.
Luckily there is a shop nearby that sells secondhand car parts, and he happened to have a grille and both headlights, but I only bought the left one. Sadly he had no front bumper. So hopefully i will find a bumper of same type for sale somewhere else, or ill start thinking about bodykits. I spent the next 20 minutes attaching the headlight and the grille. The fitment wasn't the greatest due to the front bumper, but it'll hold for a while. |

So, I heard from my good friend Hao in Los Santos, and there was a guy looking to sell an R32 Skyline 4 door. I decided, "Why not?" and went to visit the guy.
I got to the house, and the car was nowhere to be seen. That part of Vespucci Beach, it wouldn't have surprised me if it got stolen... Anyways, I talked to the guy for a while, and turns out, the car has a really sad story behind it. The guy is a single father, and his son went off to Afghanistan, third tour, and dad bought him a car for when he got home. He had a RB26 swapped into it, and some rear steer dialed in (10 degrees), for the snow. Well, son never got home. Roadside bomb got him and half of his convoy. 12 killed, 5 more injured. It was one of the worse bombs. Dad had put the car into the yard with a for sale sign, and there it sat for 5 years, uncared for, and it slowly rusted. Someone stole the stock rims for it, and hoping to attract someone to buy it, he put some steelies on. Those rusted after a while too (3 more years). Eventually he towed it to Hao's garage, and asked if he knew anyone who would be interested in it. And, thus Hao told me about it. I purchased the car for 3 grand more then I should have paid, but I felt sad for the guy and knew how he felt. I lost my brother in Iran in 2006. Anyways, I paid $16,000 for it. Here are pictures of the car in question. |

My last day at bihoku had me finish off my Mark II. Here lives the Mark Chaser Grande. The front clip is off a wrecked Chaser that the first corner here claimed as it victim.
Caught alittle dirt here and almost claimed my own victim, sorry camera man! I am now on a boat headed back home to Valo with the onevia. The Mark II is gonna stay here with the local fabrication shop that helped me with the swap. they are gonna use it as a Demo car. This mean back home I have space for a new project |

{1 week later}
So, I picked up some 375 mm vented Wilwood rotors and 6 pot calipers for the front, and 355 mm vented Willwood's with 4 pot calipers for the rear. I also picked up some 18" SSR Longchamps all around (to fit the brakes), with Bridgestone Potenza RE002 tires. I polished up the exhaust tip. I painted the car as close as I could to the original color, and I want to pick up a mild turbo for the engine. Can't decide if I want large single turbo, or small twin turbos... What do you guys think? Added 28 minutes later: trying to change my avatar, and every time I upload a new one, it's like "NOPE YOU HAVE TO USE THE OLD ONE!" I delete the old one, upload a totally different one, and it goes back to the Skyline with the front torn apart... I'm getting pissed at this...

# dxg1997 : Can't decide if I want large single turbo, or small twin turbos... What do you guys think?I'd go with 2 smaller turbos. They spin up faster. Okay, the RX-Miata is painted now: The engine for the Levin is now a silver top with a Stage 2 turbo kit: I found some body parts on the junkyard and put them on: I sold the Caddy for something with more space to put stuff in: A 1983 Chevy Van G20: That thing is bone stock and still has its 5.7L V8 in it. Edit: I ordered a LS3 crate motor for it, because it developed a rod-knock and a crank knock. I swear it had enough oil in it but I guess the previous owner gave a shit on that...

Damnit Diablo! I was actually about to call the guy about that exact van! xD
So, this guy brought in a Fiero SE with a stock 2.4 liter I4. He said he wanted more power to match the looks. Hehehe. I thought about MY Fiero and giggled. I wanted to do a 32 valve Northstar V8 twin turbo swap, but that projected roughly 900 hp, and he said he only wanted about 500. So I elected to get a Honda K series turbo. Had to install bigger exhaust so it didn't restrict the engine, so I got a pair of Buddy Club Spec II's. This engine makes about 478 Hp. I think that's perfect IMO. I'm still trying to figure out how he got that tiny car to tuck 19"s all around. |

Added 25 minutes later: {1 week later} Managed to snag a Time attack body kit meant for a Silvia S15 hardtop, and some fifteen52 3pcs. I'm using a Mazda 4 banger till I can find a decent SR20. I've decided to make this a show car. This post was edited by dxg1997 (2014-11-29 10:56, ago) |

So finally I got TURBO(s)! Now my car is officially called AE28DETT! I've upgraded intake manifold Stage 4 that fits turbo, twin-turbos with intercooling, Stage 4 HKS fuel injection system.
On the body I added another tow-hook to rear & changed rims. |

About that buggy I was talking about, it's not really a buggy.
It's a Levin chassis with off road kit. Also, my new bodykit and rollcage for the R31 arrived today! Got some new rims, lights and painted it black. It looks WAY better now! My stupid friend visited from Liberty City. He said he wanted a Pink Slip race, his ugly pink S2K versus my R31. All I did was sit there and wonder how the hell did his car move without any space between the car and the ground? But his driving skills on the C1 are shit, and he crashed into a truck, which means I won. Wheels were done, engine bay too, and the trunk was rekt. It was towed home with a trailer. First thing I did was remove all the parts, sell them, and then find a donor S2K, and crop it's engine bay to fit it on mine. I found one, and I welded the new front end. I put in a Honda V6 engine, because the previous engine was slow. Then, I painted the chassis red, and added body panels I bought from a shop. Then I painted it and I added glass, headlights and taillights, and wheels. And a little bonus, twin dual mufflers. |

hey man the v6 should fit regular v8's in real life sit normal in the s2k. and Apparently the J35 is a pretty well used swap. I like the Creativity
Added 41 minutes later: So after yesterday's Sea sickness I finally made it home to Valo and decided to get myself a welcome home gift. so I called Velocity Motorsports and bought this stallion.. The Nsx 36,000 well spent id say, especially since its has only clocked about 40,000 miles. Did you guys know this puppy came with a radar detector standard? looks like Honda knew what trouble these cars can cause.. On the way home I went by the local Jdm parts distributor and picked up some spoon exhaust, especially made for the NA1. I have no idea where to go with baby, right now its gonna be the daily This post was edited by Driftphantom (2014-11-29 22:45, ago) |

I heard about an old and SEROUSLY abused RS200, and I'm heading to check it out. Got the Vandura by the way... The fool put nice rims inside offroad tires. plan on lowering it back to normal, but keeping the rims, and changing out the tires. Gonna make it FAST and look good.
Added 1 hour 23 minutes later: Turns out the RS200 is V6 swapped with a GM 3.6 LY7 engine. She was in a bad accident on a country back road. Upper tie rod broke and the car jerked to the right and flew off the embankment and met a dirt mound, skipped off that and hit a tree. The guy got whiplash, and a fractured tibula. He decided he wanted to sell it. I picked it up for 5 grand. What a steal, especially for that car. Its gonna be expensive to fix all the bodywork though. As I was towing it home behind the Vandura, I saw a familiar R31 SCREAM through the yellow light. I'm just sitting there like, "Jeez, he's gonna hurt himself." Anyways, here's the car after I got it home. I also asked my buddy to sand and paint the Vandura, so I don't have it right now. {30 minutes later} Got the bodywork stripped away and sent off to my buddy to fix it ($4,000) Also, found the culprit, missing tie rod. {2 days later} Got a new tie rod ($200} and fitted it. Took the car for a test drive in the parking lot, and that thing is a ABSOLUTE ROCKET! {1 week later} Got my body work back, and I gotta say, it looks GOOD Also got the Vandura back. The brown suits it. I sent it off to Street Supersports outside of East Valo to get a new engine and suspension fitted. The owner insisted I get a rollcage and new seats for all the power. It's got roughly 490 hp with dual 4 barrel Weber carbs. My buddy on Sunny Ridge Road at Venom Bodyworks put the chrome bits, bumpers and mirrors and such, in the back so they didn't get dirtied by bugs or anything on the trailer. {15 minutes later} I got the chrome bits fitted, and that is one BADASS Vandura. Added 17 minutes later: I experimented with speakers... I like how loud it is. Had to remove the rollbar... oops. Welded the side door shut, and already blew out both rear windows, Gonna get louvers instead of glass xD I now need to pickup another shop vehicle Added 1 hour 9 minutes later: (Your'e amazing if you read all the way through this!)

@dxg1997 I am liking that Civic Hatch great just working with that J-swap. I just purchased a civic too.. an ex. That NSX took a pretty good chunk of funds.
Coilovers and a beaks bar have been shipped and should arrive tomorrow. Ive been on Valolist all night looking for some si wheels to swap onto this thing till I get my funds back up for some 3pc wheels. or Maybe the engine needs love first, because the 160hp r18a1 isn't gonna work.. |

Bring that Civic into my shop and I'll fix it up right. Take care of the engine and suspension. Just tell me what parts you want on it, and I'll do my best to fix you up right. You don't have to pay me back right away, I understand you need money right now. I'll throw in these wheels for free if you want. Their too big for my Civic (17") Full set of 4 with about 50% tread on the tires. I tooled around with my spring just to fit it onto the car to take the pic xD I can rub the Porsche emblem off too if you want. The rims are from an old 911 that came in wanting a full rebuild.
