What a weekend !



-✔ Oh man , once again , another weekend has passed and I can't tell you guys how much fun I had this weekend at Ebisu ! If you didn't already know , it was Drift Matsuri , and oh boy , it was pretty much drift heaven over there. I was really close to missing this whole event , but luckily , my boy Radcoon gave me a call and told me to get my ass over to Ebisu 'cuz the Summer Drift Matsuri is finally in full blast ! So , I did what Radcoon told me and I jumped in my R32 and off to Ebisu I went. I arrived on Saturday afternoon and there were lots of cars there , and I mean lots ! It was so fun just to walk around the pits and see all the cars there , but I said fuck it and I decided to take the R32 for a little spin on Minami , 'cuz why not ? The R32 is gonna go through some massive changes soon so I told myself that I should have some fun while the car is still somewhat driftable , and that's exactly what I did ! ✔-









-✔ When I first entered the track with the R32 I got weird looks from everyone , including Radcoon. I bet everyone thought that I was out of my mind when I decided to take such a clean R32 and just risk totaling it on the track , but I was confident in my skills and especially in the car , and after a lap of Minami I decided to not drift the R32 anymore because I was too afraid of killin' it , especially after I got really really close to the Minami wall , but I can't lie , it drifted kinda well ! Sure , the car had just a little bit of bodyroll , and I think the bolt-on cage managed to fix some of the body roll so that's good , I'm glad I kept it in , but after all , it's still on stock suspension and it was quite underpowered in the corners , but that was quite easy to fix with a few clutch kicks here and there haha ! The R32 did alright , I'm probably never gonna drift it again because you guys know , it's not gonna be a drift car , but still , it was super fun to toss it in the corners and just go flat out. The RB20DET is underpowered for drifting , but there's no point in making it stronger because I'll probably swap it with another RB in the future. So , after I got out of the R32 at the pits , Radcoon came running to my car and told me that he managed to find me a car that I could actually drift and just get some laps around Minami with , and I was pretty excited ! Turns out that he managed to make me drive a full-blown 1JZ Cresta Roulant G , and oh boy , it was so freaking fun to drive that thing ! It had so much power ! Radcoon and some other guys managed to take a few pictures of me drifting it , but I can't tell you guys how impressed I was after driving that Cresta ! I forgot how good it was to have a dedicated drift car dialed in just for sliding ! I can't quite remember how much power the Cresta had , but I think it had around 600 hp and I can't lie , that thing was so scary yet fun to drive ! ✔-









-✔ Haha , oh man , I really wish I could've brought the ER here , but oh well , I'm sure it's sliding somewhere else in Japan. The Cresta was really really clean which kinda made me hesitant to going hard on it , but the owner told me that it's all good if I have fun , so yeah , I had so much fun ! These kinds of experiences really bring me back to the old days. I can't lie , I missed drifting , it's such a cool hobby , but I still feel like I've grown out of it. Sometimes I'm just too scared to ruin my cars so that's another big factor that determined to stay away for a while from drifting. I'm still not sure if I'll go back to this hobby because my whole car taste has changed in these last couple of months , but maybe , just maybe , in the future I'll buy another shitcar just to mess around Ebisu. This weekend was amazing , it was probably the most fun I've had in a long long time , and a big thank you goes to Radcoon and his friends for having me there and just hanging out , I really enjoyed this weekend ! After we've had enough fun at Ebisu , I decided to take Radcoon back to Osaka to hang around with Mackay and just chill at a little BBQ , though I really wish Lagano was here too , then the whole gang would've been united ! I can't wait for the R's meet , it's gonna be such a crazy fun event ! I hope I'll see all of you guys there , but to be fair , why wouldn't you come to the meet ? It's pretty much gonna be heaven on earth , so yeah , it's gonna be absolutely sick ! ✔-





-✔ Talking about the R's meet , check out this amazing snapback Radcoon managed to get me ! It's so sick and it even has the oldschool Nismo logo on it ! I absolutely love it ! I swear , I'll wear this all the time from now on ! I don't usually wear snapbacks , but this one in particular really fits me ! Thank you so much Radcoon , you're the real homie ! If you guys want to get your hands on things like this , we're gonna sell them at our booth at the R's meet ! It's gonna be full of exclusive items like T-shirts , stickers , posters , even performance parts from the Performance Shop that you can only get from us directly , so I'd advise you guys to grab them if you're there ! I really feel like we're gonna run out of products really quick , so if you guys want to make yourselves look cool , that's your chance ! I can't wait to meet you all there and I can't wait to see all the R's ! Ahh , I can't wait ! ✔-





-✔ Well , I don't think anyone expected this but , yesterday , the time has come for the Z to leave. Why ? Because I just lost all my motivation to work on it. It was really fun making it look so sick , but it has been in the stand-by phase for so long that I just said screw it and just sold it. I know , I could've finished it , but I started to think that the Z32 really doesn't suit my style and instead of loosing precious time and money on it , I decided to pass it to someone that I think will take care of it and enjoy it to the maximum. The Z is definitely in good hands now , that's for sure , and I know for a fact that the new owner will absolutely love it and make it way more sicker than I did. So yeah , I'm not sad at all about the Z because I just kinda stopped caring about it , and it would've made more sense to get my money off of it than to keep it and just not drive it , so yeah , after a little bit of negotiation with the new owner , we've both agreed on the price of 20000 V$. I can say that this move filled my wallet quite a lot and I'm always happy to have more cash at hand so yeah , I can say that I made a profit off of it , which is perfect ! ✔-





-✔ After the deal was settled in , we went to the Wangan for a little fair race. Since the R33 pushes a lot of hp on max boost , I decided to turn the boost all the way down to make the race a little bit more fair , and I still mopped the floor with the Z32 , but it's understandable because the Z doesn't have any performance upgrades besides an Apexi Power FC ECU and some custom made straightpipes. It sounds super good that's for sure , but just seeing one of my cars be driven by another person is so weird , but hey , all things must go and I'm more than sure that the new owner will enjoy driving this car ! ✔-

-✔ Well , remember when I said that I'm always happy to have more money ? Haha , well , after the deal went down , I drove back home and straight up started searching for the car I wanted , and then I got a call from Mackay and he told me he found an amazing deal on a car that I should buy. Well , long story short , this morning I met up with the guy and pretty much bought my brand new ( and I mean new , not like new from the '90s ) car !!! ✔-

















-✔ Hahaha ! Fuck yeah ! It's an R35 baby ! I bet everyone expected me to buy an R34 but nah fam , ya' boy decided to go all out and buy a freaking 2009 Nissan R35 GTR Spec-V !!! I can finally proudly say that I own an actual supercar ! Mackay has been begging me to buy an R35 , and I decided to make his dream come true by buying this absolute monster ! So , the car is in absolute mint condition , it has a clean title and it's good as new. It's the 2009 version and it's a Spec-V , which means that it has a titanium exhaust , reworked suspension , carbon ceramic brakes and the overall weight is decreased by 132 lb (60 kg) over the standard GT-R. The Spec-V posted a 0–60 mph/0-100 km/h in a time of 3.20 seconds and it has a top speed of 315 km/h or 196 mph. This one is one out of 109 Spec-V GTRs produced for the entire world and one out of 77 produced for Japan. This thing is pretty much a race car for the street ! The R35 was never made in a manual transmission version as far as I'm concerned , but man , driving an automatic for the first time ever feels really cool and weird , I still feel like I have to shift , so that's why I prefer to use the paddle shifters all the time. This car is pretty much a computer on wheels as everyone says , but I think it's way more than that. It's all about the Skyline spirit ! This car is all stock besides the wheels , which are some Deep Dish BBS LM's. They make the car look so good ! This car is what I even wanted to be honest , even though I still want the R34 , the R35 is just something mindblowing ! Also , this version uses carbon fiber trim inside and out, and has no rear seat , so you know Nissan wanted to reduce the weight . It would've been cool to have a rear seat but oh well , weight reduction is everything ! So , you might ask yourself , why did I buy an R35 and not an R34 ? My answer to that is : "Because why the hell not ?!" I'm gonna use this car as a daily , but more as a track car , because that's the main reason behind me purchasing an R35. I wanted to buy something already made for racing , and what's better than an R35 ? Let's be serious for a second here , this thing is way cheaper than buying and building an R34 for track racing. Sure , that's maybe not 100% true , but this brings me to the price that I bought this thing for. I bought the R35 for... *insert drums roll sound effect here* 56000V$ !!! How the hell did I get a Spec-V this cheap ? Well , turns out that Mackay is a really good friend with the guy who sold me the R35 and he made me a big discount on it ! I'm so freaking grateful to Mackay for setting this deal up for me ! I'm so happy to finally own the R35 ! Now all I would need would be an R34 right ? Well , maybe , but that's in the long long future , because right now , I don't need an R34 ! Ahh , I'm still mindblown by the fact that I own this car... ✔-





-✔ The interior is really really clean and there's no signs of wear and tear anywhere ! I really like sitting in these bucket seats , they're amazingly comfy ! After all , this thing is a luxury car , right ? Hell yeah ! It doesn't have the back seat as I said , which is okay with me , but still , it would've been cool to be able to carry the whole crew in one car , but everything else compensates for that ! I'm still new to this kind of new age technology though , I've been buying and driving '90 cars for forever and now I finally own something more technologically advanced ! The push to start button is so cool though , just hearing the VR38 roar is music to my ears ! This car is pretty much perfect in every aspect , and I can say for sure , this thing is making it to the R's meeting , because after all , its a damn Spec-V ! Only 77 in Japan baby ! ✔-







-✔ After going nuts for about 2 hours I decided to take this thing outside for a little photoshoot in the sunset and man , the Silver on this car really fits it ! I love it ! The BBS wheels fit just fine and they look like they we're actually supposed to come with the car ! Ahh , I just can't get enough of it... This is by far the most expensive car I've ever bought , and once again , big thanks to Mackay for setting up that amazing deal for me ! This is a huge milestone for me , and I'm really happy that I'm so lucky to be surrounded by cars and my best friends all the time , this is the life that's worth living ! ✔-



-✔ And this day ended with a little Wangan top speed run with Mackay in the passenger seat. He was so happy to ride along with me , and just seeing him smile was the best thing ever , so I decide to let him drive me back home and oh boy , we were hauling the wangan. The VR38 is such a great engine with so much horsepower , ahh , this is why I'm a Nissan boy now , Nissan is the shit ! I still love every other JDM car brand out there , but it's crazy how Nissan are always true to their roots and keep making these awesome cars even today , but anyway , this has been the best purchase I've ever made... ✔-

-✔ So yeah , this week has been pretty crazy until now , but crazier things are coming in the next days as well , because I've just ordered the parts for the R32 and we're gonna get to work as soon as the parts arrive , so stay tuned in for that ! Ahh , everything is flowing nicely right now and I'm having the time of my life , big thanks to all my friends out there for always supporting and helping me ! So yeah , that'll be all for now ! I hope all of you guys enjoyed this update and I bet that no one expected the R35 to be my next car ! Anyways , godspeed homies ! ;) ✔-
