# BigSmoke : Man you really deserve that GT-T, congrats for the bid victory!
What are you going to do with it?
thank you! i'm not sure but knowing me, drift/street car hopefully.
# MACKAY : Another mofo' with a GTT, can't fucking wait to see this one get build up and done so it can slide with me, I don't know why but I am more than sure that you will turn this car into drift car like you always do haha, my man! :thumbsup:
yeah dude! I can't wait to go drifting with you at some point. But you're 100% right with a car like this :P
# Lagano : Nice one! Is it in the same color as your 180? :D You could build your R34 in a similar way!
Fun fact, the colour on this R34 is OEM and the colour I sprayed my 180 in is based on this colour, very similar! I might do that, to have matching cars would be s i c k.
# Smurf : Can't wait to see that thing with literally no ground clearance! Hella sick dude.
HAHAHA you know me way too well.
# Nightrunner : Aye , congrats on you purchase m8 ! CanĀ“t wait to see that thing go sideways with almost no ground clearance lmao (Kinda like mine GTT lololo)
ayyy yes slammed GT-T's will be wild.
Here's the car in a little more detail. Pretty clean for a 1,500,000yen score at the auctions, plus a surprising number of modifications to not be considered a grade R car.





1998 R34 GT-T coupe in BP9 Dark Blue Pearl, done 94,000k's and immaculate body. I think it was owned by an older man who passed it onto his son, who started to drift it and build it but had to sell due to financial reasons. Its had a lot of the ground work done up already for me, Tein coilovers, GT35R big single, but there are lots of things I want to do to this car, namely Heatmaker steering knuckles and arms, 326power coilovers, a Tomei exhaust, LS2 coilpacks.



Inside its pretty simple - GTR shift boot and knob, Nismo wheel (quite rare) and stock GTT everything. The kid who had this car surprisingly kept a full interior and I am impressed! This car will make for a real fun project. This means however one of my cars needs to go because 7 cars is a little too much, even for me..





Regrettably I have to throw the Z up for sale. This has been my favorite get in and go street car, took me through two rounds of STC88 Drift Con without skipping a beat, not to mention just being a badass car to have. I'm going to miss it when it does sell (which it is up for 1,600,000yen right now), but I am letting go of it with all the mods I've put on it (modified steering knuckles, 326power Chakuriki coilovers, Top Secret hood and bumper canards) and whoever buys this thing I hope takes good care of it.

Now to tie up some loose ends I haven't talked about yet.. so here is the FR-S last time everyone saw it, parked up with no motor..



Now fast forward two months, here it is now at Benny's Garage -



I caved, and I finally widebodied it. Authentic Pandem V3 kit with the V2 ducktail. I raised it a bit to fit grippy Advan AD08's (245/45/17) but mainly because..





Remember the S15 SR20DET I bought before I parked this thing? Well I left the motor and car in possession of Benny's Garage and let them do their thing. My end goal for this car is to have a D1 spec track car (already pulled insurance and transferred it to the R34). It's been fully caged as well. The motor has been rebuilt with a forged bottom end, custom turbo built by Benny's, based off a GTX3076R, but the main attraction is the supercharger, an Eaton M62 - twincharged SR20 is a first for me. This will have mad torque in the low end and have the boost hit around 4,000RPM which should give me power all throughout the torque curve. This will be a fucking fun car to drive at the track when its all buttoned up and finished.

JZX90 - my BN skirts and rear are here, but I can't find a BN front bumper for cheap. I may settle for a Vertex front bumper, but for now I'm running a Vertex lip which looks fantastic I think. I'm going to send this car off to paint soon and then it'll be seat time!
