Expect the unexpected...




-✔ Alright guys , here's a little update of what went down yesterday. So , as you know , I've been thinking about getting a new car and I asked myself : What do I really want to build ? What are my plans ? Well , long story short I've found out that somehow I contracted this disease called "Need for Speed" from the R33. Sadly , that disease has a lot of after-effects which include horsepower addiction , strong desire for loud engine noises and backfiring noises , torque dependence and many other life threatening side effects. Either way , somehow I managed to realize what I actually want , and yes , I want another Wangan car. Now , it was very difficult to pick a certain car and just put a whole lot of money and effort into it because there were so many options ! There were so many cheap cars that I could buy ! I didn't know what I really wanted , so , after discussing my plans for the future car with Mackay , he told me that the perfect car for me would be a Nissan. After thinking for hours ( literary ) I've decided to study the aerodynamic coefficients of certain Nissan cars produced between the 1990s and 2000s. From the get-go I've told myself that there's no way I'm picking an S-chassis. It was quite hard for me because I had to think about the price of the car and the mods that I'm gonna do to it. At a certain point I thought maybe I could get another Skyline , but they were way too expensive for my budget , and then I found out that I completely forgot about the Fairlady family. It was more than clear that I wasn't going to be able to the S30 , and to be quite honest , the S31 never really appealed to me in any sort of way because of the pop-up headlights ( don't get me wrong , I'm the biggest fan of pop-up headlights but they just don't suit the S31 , that's just my opinion. ) and there it was , the legendary Z32. Ahh , I can't tell you guys how much I love the Z32 ( or 300ZX ). I really like the overall shape of the body and the engine had the exact capabilities that I wanted. And there's where the search started. After hours upon hours of searching I found this amazing red 300ZX which was located in Osaka. I hopped into the R33 and took off to that guys location. Turns out that this guy somehow got bored of the car because "it was a pain in the ass to work on it". Well , you could say that didn't stop me from buying it , after some negotiations I managed to get this thing for a solid 5500 V$ and a beer. Oh well , I'd say it was very worth it. ✔-









-✔ And that's how I managed to get my hands on a 1994 Nissan 300ZX/Z32. The car runs smoothly and it's the twin turbo variant. More turbos , more fun , right ? Hell yeah. So , this thing is absolutely bone stock everywhere , suspension , engine , body , you name it. This thing has the VG30DETT engine , of course because it's the twin turbo variation. The engine is a 3 liter twin turbo V6 producing just about 300 hp. This engine is perfect for what I'm gonna do to it. Let me give you some clues on how good this engine is. So , the engine block can hold up to 800 hp and the internals can hold up to 600 hp , the VG is also quite a torquey engine having 283 ft-lbs of torque. The VG30DETT also has an iron block with aluminum heads , hence the quite high horsepower resistance. The car also came with a five speed manual transmission which is absolutely amazing, I'm really glad it's not an automatic , I would've had to change the whole transmission and mess the wiring in order to make it a manual. All hail manual transmissions ! Anyway , this thing is gonna get built to be equal to the R33 , but maybe it'll even surpass the unholy 666hp the R33 has. ✔-







-✔ Interior wise , everything is stock as I mentioned before , but there's something special about in here. It's the super rare 2 seater version as well , and that is absolutely great. Less interior , lighter the car , right ? Well yeah , though the back seat could've been useful for carrying more people , oh well , this car is going to be a Wangan car so theres no need for a back seat. As you can see , sadly the car didn't come with the stock wheels , but instead came with some stock R33 wheels. That's not that bad ! I'd even go as far as saying that it fits the car better than the stock wheels do. As everything else on this car , the brakes are also stock. The Z32 brakes are often used for brake swaps on S-chassis due to their great braking ability , and as far as I'm concerned , the pads should be in good shape as well. Either way , I'm probably going to change them to a more "modern" kind of brakes. I want to be able to stop when I'm going +300 km/h and I think the OEM brakes won't be enough for that. ✔-



-✔ This car is also street legal but I'm afraid that it will no longer be when I'll be done with it. As for the upcoming mods , I will need to change pretty much everything on this Z. I'd like this car to surpass the R33 , but we'll see about that , because money is really important when it comes to modifying a car. A new bodykit will be needed , new brakes , new wheels , engine upgrades ... pretty much everything. It's gonna take a while but hang in there ! The end result is going to be absolutely badass. As for the aero and chassis reinforcements , me and Mackay will try to make everything as custom as possible. It's gonna take a while to get this thing done , but as a project car , it's pretty much perfect. ✔-







-✔ I think all of you know by now that I'm in Tokyo for this whole weekend and I've took the R33 with me. The pics above are the long long awaited really rare HKS floor mats from my boy Radcoon ! Oh god these look perfect in the R33. I still can't believe that I've got my hands on such rare floor mats , big thanks to Radcoon for keeping them safe for so long ! Anyway , I'm here in Tokyo to hang out with my boys and to overall relax , but I have to say that I'm really glad that I took the R33 with me. I'm definitely going to hit the Wangan tonight ! I can't wait to see Skips and Radcoons reactions. The R33 is really quick and I hope Radcoon won't get too scared going way over 280 km/h... >:) ✔-

-✔ Anyway , that's kinda all for now , I hope you guys are as excited as me for the Z32 build , it's gonna be the most hotboi/aggressive/extreme Z32 around. It's gonna evolve into a real beast after me and Mackay start working on it. Also , should I keep the Z32 in this OEM Aztec Red color ? I think I want to go with a more aggressive color , but I guess this will also work. Anyway , I'll see you guys around , godspeed homies ! ;) ✔-

# Dr. Zoom : You have kept eyes temp.

I starting like Wangan, I thinking it start project on my junk S13 to perfect wangan S13.

A wangan S13 would be unique , but you have to be ready financially. I've put around 20 grand in the R33 to get it to where it is , and it takes a lot of time to rebuild a whole car from the ground up. I suggest you get some more cash and then proceed into building the S13. Also , if you're gonna do it alone it's gonna be so freaking hard , you'd better have someone helping you around !
