No big updates for today.. Just some snow skids! There was finally some snowfall over here in Germany and what better way to celebrate that then just to hoon around in your s-chassis. :p

Bad luck that the bumpers died but now I'm excited for the next phase

go 0815 rocketbunny like everyone else in germoney

OwO what's this?





Yes. A new project car! And it's a R32 GTS-T! If you know me you know why I got this. This is one of my favourite cars of all time (besides the RPS13 of course :v) I am so freaking hyped that I finally bought one! And there's actually one cool thing about this which kinda reminded me of Marcus' old R32. It also has a SR20.

But you probably want some informations about the car.
Overall this thing looked pretty clean and I'm very exited for when this thing gets delivered tomorrow. And it actually wasn't that expensive aswell. The people that are helping me to get it (JDM Auction Watch) sold it to me for 3.800$ (incl. getting it street legal for Germany) which is pretty cheap if you ask me.

Oh.. and I also sold some parts off of the 240. I got 1.300$ for selling those.

Finances: 21490$ - 3.800$ R32 GTS-T + 1.300$ 240 parts = 18990$

# skip : Lots of potential. Will you engine swap straight away or wait?

I actually don't know if I want to swap another engine in there. I mean I'm pretty familiar with SRs. But it would be cool to have a proper RB in there..

# Smokiegun : That's pretty clean! Congrats on the purchase, can't wait to see what you do with it!

Thanks a lot man! Just wait and see.

# FastCars : you should get a single turbo rb and weld the diff and make it a drift car! But itll get damaged if you do that but its just 1 suggestion...

That's my plan haha. Even tho I don't need to weld the diff since it has that 2-way diff from the previous owner

# FastCars : Oh thats sweet, are you planning it to be a drift car though?

Yeah

# FastCars : I would say i could sell you my crappy rims that r on my s13, but there ugly and its worth it to have matching rims that look better for a few extra bucks But i could send you some japaneze drift magizines to you to inspire you... thing is most of the words are japanese... so ull prob need to know japanese or somehow type it in google translate?

(not irl btww lol)

Well it depends on what rims you are talking about :p Are you speaking about those Equip 05 or the stock rims that where on there before? Also those magazines would be great even tho I already have some Option magazines laying around in my apartment

((not actually irl tho :c))

Added 1 hour 44 minutes later:

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. It's here. Finally. (つ≧▽≦)つ (I ordered this thing back when I crashed my Miata just in case if you're wondering)

And.. I dunno how I feel about it.. There were some suprises waiting for me. Some are good.. and some are really bad..

When the guys from JDM Auction Watch came over to deliver the car to me they told me that the car isn't running properly.. oh no. I already knew what was wrong when they didn't even bother to start the engine to get the car of the trailer. One of them sat in the car and the other one started to push the car. And if don't get it already - the LSD is blown.

I mean when we had the car off the trailer we started the engine anyways just to see if everything is okay. Atleast the SR didn't tell us a "knock knock" joke yet...



That sucks.. aaaaaaaaaaaa. But there also was a pleasant surprise. It came with some kind of new Wilwood brakes calipers and rotors which is awesome. They weren't listed on the auction sheet. Yay. Also those Kumho Ecsta look fairly new.



But other than that the car is just like it said in the papers. Everything seems pretty alright. Yeah there is some rust on the typical regions but this car is 25 years old so that's to be expected.





The interior also looks pretty clean. It has that 90's touge car feeling with just the drivers seat replaced haha



I also found a little gift from the previous owner. He left a cool pic of him drifting this thing on Ebisu. Here's a scan of it:



I feel pretty pleased with this thing. It sucks that I have to get a new LSD tho :|

# skip : I could try find a LSD in Japan if you want me to?

Yeah that would be awesome! The best would be a 2-way diff like it had before.

# FastCars : No the rims on my Yellow 180SX... i sold my black silvia to another VS player

Ah that one. Thanks for the offer but I'm probably gonna use other rims for this one.

Another SR20 R32! I have one too but it has a turbo. So what are your plans with it?

# Lagano : Another SR20 R32! I have one too but it has a turbo. So what are your plans with it?

# doge : ^i was just about to say that, people seem to love sr20 swaping r32's keke

Yeah it's a real common thing ((IRL aswell haha)).

But since I changed my plans on the RPS13 I wanna make the R32 my "Drift-Street car". Just tune it a bit to get it sideways but still keep it usable for normal everyday usage.

Soo.. The R32 wasn't the only thing that arrived from Japan yesterday. There was something for the S13 aswell.
But first off - I got some seats for the 240 aswell! ... And they are the same ones as before... Just in black

A good friend of mine needed some help with his S14 Kouki. He wanted to do a 2JZ swap for a long time and it finally happened. He asked me for help and said he could gave me his old Brides since he has gotten new ones for his Silvia.



It's a completely stock 2JZ-GTE out of a crashed MK4 Supra. Was a pain in the ass to fit it into the engine bay. Had to cut a lot and weld some custom fab stuff so it fitted perfectely.



He is gonna try to get it up too 400-450ps someday in the future... Sounds promising :p

After that we took the seats to my place and installed them in the 240.



I wanted to test-fit the bodykit on that day but I was too exhausted for that.. So I did that this morning :p

And to my surprise the kit fits really well! It's the full Origin Labs Stream Line 180sx kit with the Racing Line hood! 2200$ for everything. :3







I can't wait to get it painted! ... even tho there are some parts left that have to arrive :3

Also forgot to say that in the last post - I sold my old Origin Lab rear fenders to FastCar. So the only thing left for sale are the OEM fenders.

Finances: 18.990$ + 280$ Sold rear fenders - 2.200$ Origin Labs stuff = 17070$

# skip : So I've finished looking for a 2-way LSD. I found a genuine Nissan 2-way 180 LSD for V$312.20 on Up Garage, if you want that?

Sounds good. Is it adjustable?

Added 17 minutes later:

Ah nvm. But I'll take it :p Gonna send you the money asap

Damn that's fast shipping!

Wow sounds great! Thanks a lot!

Finances: 17070$ - 313$ LSD = 16757$

Why hello there, my fellow VStanced members.

My 240 finally got some paint again! It looks so great when it's fully painted.. duh. And it also got a Origin Labs roof wing now!
Everything overall (paint + roof wing) costed 500$ which isn't too bad. And the paint came out really great! The 240 is now going more and more into the hot boi style. No more Koguchi rep. rip.

I also need to get some smaller rims for the front if I want to keep it this low in the future because the ones that are on there now rub on the new fenders as soon as I turn lol

Here are some pics of the finished product. If everything goes to plan.. there's still some stuff left for phase 2









... oh yeeaaahhh. If you're wondering: "WHAT THE F**K DID HE DO TO HIS GARAGE DOOR?!" - I was thinking about to refurbish the garage doors for a while now.. So I asked some friends to help me with all the sanding and painting. And then I thought I should get a bit creative.. So I asked a local copy shop to help me with that project. It actually came out really great IMO xD

Finances: 17507$ - 400$ paint - 100$ roof wing = 17007$

WHAT THE F**K DID YOU DO TO YOUR GARAGE DOOR?!
