I'll pay for the delivery etc. if we're having a deal! # Shez : 600 horses!?!? das a mf big number holy shit its indeed a pretty darn big number!

# DEADMANE : oooo you own my favorite car! <3 nice My favourite too!! Added 1 minute later: .....♫ I GUESS YOU WONDER WHERE I'VE BEEN ♫Been a while again. a week more than 2 months actually. Well safe to say, life has been busier than ever! A. we got work routine tightening up, B. shenanigans with friendos, and C. ofc car progress. Last 2 months have indeed been quite stressful (but yet very fun) to say the least! But hey, here i am as i finally managed to crank an update out. Lets jump in shall weSUPRA!(Circa late-march, 2019)Exterior wise, it was and still is the same! Aside from the fact that i finally put the number plate back on the trunkThe main changes for this car were small and subtle, yet VERY important to keep it healthy. Interior equipperinos!Not much to see. We got a Defi gauge set including Boost, Oil pressure and Temperature. just the essentials! I wasnt looking to clog my whole dash with gauges that i wouldnt need with the power level im at they did require a bit of work to fit snug to the dash but, i got it done no problem! |

And that's a sweet birthday present you got for Marc! Better late then never, they say. I see you're already enjoying your present too |

.....WHER MAI INDICATORSE(a mini update)Throughout the past week and a half America has been no less of a delight! Its a very big change of pace from the fast, economy biased lifestyle back in japan. Everything feels a like its in 0.5x slow motion around here But well, the goal for the trip was relaxation from lifes struggles, and relaxation is what we're all achieving!Shifting back to topic here, ive been driving the E92 around as you'd have expected but there was also no denying a fact. aside from a stage 1 chip tune, its STOCK! boaty, wallowy, rather boring-looking. I decided i've had enough and even though the trip is coming to a conclusion soon (or so is the plan), i decided to fix that in 'murican soil.You're looking at a photo of the new Tein Street Advance-1 coilovers right after i finished installing the last one at one corner of Laganos garage. Marc, BigSmoke and Lagano laid a hand too in order to speed the process up and it took just 20mins to get the coilovers on (thanks guys!) And if u look at the top left, you'll see a small nameless rear spoiler i got off Ebay in the OEM silver (dunno the original brand tho, lemme know if u do?)And well, after a coilover setup and a rear wing, new Wheels were pretty much a necessity. So, this is what i ended up with!a set of used (but in good as new condition) 19" BBS LM's with a mild dish, full silver, wrapped around in 235R19 Bridgestone Potenzas with a mild stretch. full setup set me back about V$ 2850 (good lord LM's are expensive). They dont look THAT aggressive, but they're still the iconic wheels you know them as. And it sort of keeps the style simple, yet pleasant to look at!The rear wing was a bit of a hit or miss purchase to say the least, but so far, i LIKE IT! And at just 300 bucks, it wasnt that expensive either. Required some hole drilling to fit it on to the trunk but hey, worst case scenario if the look grows out of me, i can just switch to a carbon trunk!Photos u just saw were at a local walmart parking lot like 20 seconds away from the Side-to-side garage. But well right after, i took the car for a spin around the whole block to judge the ride quality and locate faults if there were any.Safe to say, the ride was dramatically improved! These being street-based coilovers, they deducted almost all the body roll and boaty feels, but the ride is still quite gentle. Bumps and holes are just a bit more sharp-feeling now but still, not the point where they are a bother!the new wider Potenzas contributed BIG TIME to the way the car tackles turns as well! it sort of made a mutual bond with the coilover setup to make sure the car takes turns like pieces of cake. TASTY, FULFILLING pieces of cake that isOverall, very much satisfied with how the car looks and feels now. The LM's were quite costly to say the least but in the end, it was all worth it to get this car how i want it to be (Still not finished at all btw! )QUALITY : UP!!Up next, this car could REALLY benefit from a new exhaust setup. in stock form its quite muted and opening the sounds up would really contribute a lot to the driving experience! Not sure if i'll do that here or back in japan but we'll see. (it might get more than just an exhaust setup too!)Anyways, that'll be all for now. As always, thank you for giving it a read!This post was edited by Niatross (2019-05-08 00:50, ago) |

.....BEEN ON THE DAILY GRINDWEW haven't updated in a while now! Fast-paced life in Tokyo was taking its toll on me i guess. Work at Nismo, progressing my personal builds, keeping up with friends and so on. I could barely find time to update y'all on things, but i've finally managed some spare time and now here we are! Let's dive in shall we-ROTARY MOBILNot a lot of progress on this thing yet, just the fact that the MONSTER TRUCK ride height is now dealt withAlready starting to look SO MUCH BETTER! it sits on a set of Tein MonoSport coilovers now, which fixed the height issues and eliminated all the body roll. snagged a set from UpGarage for just V$1,500!and to complete the look, it also has some slight negative camber on all sides. Oh and you may have noticed, the old Kouki wing has been taken off. Not sure what im gonna replace that with, or if im going wingless. we'll have to wait and seeInside one small change made is a Nardi steering wheel. had one laying around the garage so i decided to plop it onI've been driving it around every now and then too. So far the 13B has been pretty much top notch! im just careful to always premix sounds a bit muted now tho, maybe an exhaust is due soon??Oh yeah and one of the brake lights has seemingly blown a fuse, that needs to be dealt with as well lmao. But yeah all in all, progress is coming slow and smooth for this car!A DEAL I COULDN'T PASS UPThe E36 325i drift build got some progress over time too. As u can see, it had begun to look actually cool again!Got a set of used AVS Model 5's with mildly stretched michelin pilot sports, a set of 326P Chakuriki coils, and an M3 front bumper!I also dark tinted the rear indicators so it kinda flows nicer. And i threw together a full straight pipe exhaust!AAAAAAAND then comes the title of this paragraph. A month or so ago now, I was informed of a local guy offering his car up for trade. He was in search for something rather uncommon but sporty, and possibly not japanese domestic. My E36 came to match all that criteria, and the car he offered was a 1996 Nissan Skyline ECR33 GTS25t! I've been itching REALLY BADLY to build something RB powered ever since i started working at Nismo Omori. Hell, i'm pretty much surrounded by RB's there, ofc im influenced to want one This deal seemed to be the perfect opportunity to calm that itch down, even though i'd have to lose the E36.I shot Taka-san (the guy trading the R33) a message offering my E36, and thankfully he was interested to have a look! So the next day we pitched a meetup at my favorite local ramen joint.And here is the car in question!thing was packing some mods here and there too! has Cusco Street Zero-A coilovers and a Tomei expreme muffler. had wheels too but Taka-san wanted to keep those for future use (They were CE28SL's. makes sense why he wanted to keep em, they aint cheap xd)Condition wise, the stock silver paint was in overall average condition. Not top notch and shiny asf, but not filled with swirls and such either. overall 7/10 exterior.Interior wise, only mod so far is an ATC Volanti sportivi steering wheel. Condition is pretty much the same as the body- Not excellent, not bad either.After i finished checking out the R33 and taking it for a small test drive around the block, we went in for a bowl of steamy Ramen and and some Onigiri's. After that Taka-san thoroughly inspected the E36 and test drove it, just how i inspected the R33. Both cars have no rust issues, a mild amount of mods, decent exterior and interior. We were both pretty content and the trade was going thru! BUT sensibly enough, Taka-san put out the request for some cash to be added since an E36 325i doesnt really match the value of an R33 GTS25t. After some back and forth, we settled at V$2000 his way. Deal finalized, hands shaken!We both agreed to keep in touch about build progress and such, we bid our old cars goodbye, and Taka-san was on his way in the E36!....FAST FORWARD NEXT DAYthe first thing that had to be altered on the R33 was the wheels. i simply could not stick to the 5-lug stockies, and luckily enough i had some R18 Nismo LMGT1's laying on one corner of the garage (the same set that was on my Audi A5!)already ONE MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT THERE........FAST FORWARD PRESENT DAY(aaaaand it looks like shit again)Ofc i couldn't just leave it at wheels and nothing else, so im in the process of adding some more tasteful body mods. Starting off with a somewhat rare Series-II GTS25t optional front lipThe shaken etc. stickers were in the glove box (Taka-san preferred clean windshields more), but i decided to place them back on the windshield along with a silver gradient banner that i printed real quickBut yeah this is pretty much how it sits right now. awaiting some side skirts, maybe rear valances and a different rear wing to complete the front lip's styleWhile the LMGT1's were indeed a big improvement on full stock body, im not sure if they look as good with the lip on now. Maybe it needs a different set of shoes too? idk only time will tell i guessIm probably gonna be at Ebisu summer Matsuri with this car soon. its pretty much a perfect grass roots drift recipe as of rn (which was also the purpose of the E36 it replaced). Looking forward to some good times with this boaty boiKAMI-SAMA EXPANSION???with the buttload of cars myself, AJ and Marc (not so much) are acquiring and wrenching on these days, Westkyo was getting pretty "claustrophobic" to say the least. Many of the cars had to be parked outside and there was always the hassle of moving cars in and out constantly. Let alone the increasing lack of movement space. SOOOO that had to change, and it did! (sort of)around last month i started scoping garages up for rent nearby (of which there were many), and came across the perfect first candidate for an expansion. Me and AJ (RocketBunnyS13) went to look at it, place was good enough, deal sealed! the rent we agreed upon with the owner was an acceptable 950 V$ per month.So far ive only stored some of my own cars here. Well, 4 of them to be precise. And the E46 i drove here to take pics of the place.the garage is big enough to cram-pack about 7 cars, and outside in the driveway i can park 2 more. but yeah just for some space to breathe, i decided to keep 4 for now. AJ and Marc are also free to store/wrench on their cars here from time to time!And now if we move towards the other part of the garage where the "working area" is,'MURICA BOIS HELL YENOP i did not forget about these two! they arrived at Japan a while ago now and the E92 has got some progress too!managed to scope out a full M3 style kit (minus the front fenders) made to suit a non-M body. Fitment is pretty decent all around, same goes for the material, So far so good! paid 2350 V$ for the whole thing from an UpGarage which was an hour drive away!Oh and yeah i had to take the stock exhaust off in order to fit the bumper on. Doesnt matter since it'd come off a while later anywayBirthday gift from Franklin which was intended for this car is currently all sitting in a box in the trunk (in case u missed, we got 2 BIG turbos and a lotta parts to accomodate em). Can't wait to get this thing Wangan-ready soon. Yes u read that right, this will be a Shutokou runner just like my Supra! tho maybe with some more power. Should def stand out a bit from the usual cars sprinting throughout the freeways!And then theres the abomination FD3S (again in case u missed, this thing is LS swapped). No progress for it so far. it got a lot of head turns from the rather weird engine note when i was driving it home from the port im just glad i wasnt stopped and beaten with chopsticks and nunchucksTbh im still not even fully decided what i wanna do with it. The LS is coming right off, but what replaces it? i could go with a 1JZ or an SR20 or smth of those likes in order to still keep it piston powered, OR just go ahead and drop a good ole 13B back in. im veering a bit more towards the latter but we'll see!....LETS MOVE ON TO SOME SAD NEWS NOWMika, My E46 M3, has to be one of the best cars i've owned and had the privilege to enjoy in my life so far. Its like the perfect balance between comfort, performance, styling, reliability, and driving feel.I've driven this car a lot throughout the past year or so of me owning it. Hell, its probably my most driven car out of my whole car collection. And i've loved every bit of it!But all good things do come to an end, and this is no exception. With the recent change in build plan and the now style-based look, i dont really know what else to do with it anymore. It's pretty much achieved a flatline from me and im out of enthusiasm to build it further; the same thing which led to me selling off my old S14. You may think this is nonsense because the engine is still pretty much pristine and untouched (apart from the exhaust), but tuning these S54's can get pretty expensive, Let alone tuning it in Japan. Forced Induction kits can cost upwards of 8k$! thats without the accomodation needed to keep it running healthy, and same case goes for an N.A. stroker build. Engine tunability is just pretty bottlenecked on these cars unfortunately.Soooooo, yeah. I think its time for a move on to something possibly better. And im posting Mika for sale very soon. I'll most likely have to take the silver wrap off, but yeah.

TC3s are such good wheels, they made your RX7 so aggressive even with the complete opposite looking stock zenki body. The other RX7 looks as fine as ever too, that paintjob turned out so well! I'd agree with you about replacing the LS if you were in America but over there you might as well keep it! I can get you parts for it while you get me Nissan stuff Too bad about that E36 though, must be quite a rare sight in Japan. But just as the LS, maintaining it can be a problem so it's good that you got something more domestic. And you improved it immediately with the lip and GT1s!! I hope the E46 will live on as gloriously as in your hands, it was one hell of a beauty. Well, there's still the E92, and i like the idea of a wangan racer build! With basically the 2JZ's German equivalent (no not the new Supra one) it will surely have the power for the highway!

AAAAAAAAAA YES FIN-MADAFAKING-ALLY THE BOSSMAN IS BAAAAAACK
Glad to see the FD receiving progress and good treatment! I always fancy myself a set of TC3s, too bad they demand quite a hefty amount of money Welp sad to see the E36 went into the sunset, but as far as I could remember you didn't drive it much ever since anyways. And YAS ECR33 HENLOOOOOO~ Finally you got yourself something to match your office with. You sure you want to bring that thing to Ebisu though? Although I know you're a pro when it comes to sideways stuff as I've experienced in Tsukuba with you, so I guess I shouldn't worry much Congrats on the garage expansion! If I'm able to get the address I'll try to come by to see what's inside. And YAS DER AUTOBAHN MEISTER IS HERE! Can't wait to see it conquer the highways just like it does in its homeland. Can I have a shotgun ride inside please? As for the other, 'cursed' FD......If only I've got money for it I can take it and slam it into my Mustang, should be a good drag racing contender (even if drag strips are rare to find in Japan). I'd say do what James Deane (or was it other Falken driver?) did and slam an SR20 for a more varied experience Otherwise, since you got soooo much money.....how about importing a American car and build something to attend, say, Mooneyes meet with the LS? Aah man gutted that the E46 is going into the sunset as well. But eh, that's kinda the risk of ownig a performance european car here. I'm glad I was able to see it, both on its initial and its final guises |
