Back in the Land of the rising sun ??? ぴくど羽ュ 育履ん援


Well Hello there . Because of certain circumstances i have to went back in Japan . But , why exactly i´m back in Japan , what happened while i was in Europe ? Let´s start from the beginning . On Friday March 22nd 2018 i got a call from my Uncle that my whole Shop with 3 of my cars inside Burned to the ground . My heart has stopped imediately and i´ve started breathing very heavily and in shock i´ve said to my uncle through the phone " Can you please repeat that again ? This is got to be a some kind of joke " but my uncle replied in a serious note in his voice " No Dominik , your whole shop burned to the ground because of the Electricity that had caused the fire and the insurance company wants to talk to you next week on Monday."
Still really shook of what i´ve just heard i´ve said with a shaky voice " alright , i´m gonna book a ticket to Japan and on Sunday i´ll be there ."
I´ve immediately went on the internet , book a flight to Japan and on the next morning i was sitting in a plane going back to Japan .

Since 3 of my cars burned to the ground with my shop , i was thinking that i might be without a car since my CPV35 was still not starting yet ( at least i thought it wasn´t) and my 180SX was and still is getting painted . But just as we landed in Japan , i got a call from my Uncle that my CPV35 is finally working properly and he´ll bring it to the Airport . After few minutes of waiting for my uncle to pick me up in my CPV35 and few hours of driving from Tokyo to Gunma , i was finally back home .



Since i´ve just landed in Japan and i was extremely exhausted from the flight + from the pretty long drive from Tokyo , i´ve decided to go to bed earlier than normal .

The next morning i went to the Insurance company to get more information on what exactly happened and how much exactly i´ve lost and how much they´re gonna be able to give me back . Because of the privacy and still on going investigation on what happened in my shop i can´t say 2 much yet . However i can tell you guys , that i´ve completely lost my 3 of my loved babies , the JZA80 , JZZ30 and sadly i´ve also lost my most fav car ever , the DC5R . This is the second DC5R in a row that has been totaled . First one got totaled in a really nasty accident and this one got burned to the ground with shop . Well , i guess owning a DC5R is a bad luck for me . But Even tho i´m really heartbroken that 3 of my cars that i´ve worked on really hard and a shop that my papa gave me on my birthday are gone , i´m really happy that no one was in the shop and no one got injured .

I went back home heartbroken and sad but with a thought in my head - Life´s not fair and i can´t do anything about this anymore but just to move on with my life .

The next day i´ve decided to actually do something with my life rather than being sad and Depressed all day , so i´ve sold my " old " seats from my CPV35 to my Uncle and started installing a brand new seats that i´ve bought almost a month ago - a fresh , brand new set of R-Style Car shop x Bride Zeta III´s for a pretty good price - 154.000Yen( around 1 392V$ ) per one seat . I´m not sure if you guys remember but i´ve used to have these exact seats in my DC5R and i fucking loved them ( until it got totaled by a woman , R.I.P )



Since the " old " seats Were already out of the car , i´ve just had a little bit less work to do . After few minutes ( more than 45 minutes H I H E ) , few cuss words and wrenching , the seats were finally in the car . Not only they are a lot comfortable and hold the body more than the previous one , they also blend in a lot better than the old ones . With these seats , the interior looks really clean with a littlebit of hotboi spin and i love it !



And since the car is finally running , some of you may or may not be interested in seeing the engine bay so let´s pop the hood and look at the engine and what has been done to it since the last time you guys saw it ! To be honest not that much has changed since the last time . The missing parts like the instake manifold were finally installed and i decided to keep the turbo setup as it is for now and just lower the pressure a littlebit . However , the engine is still missing few things such as brand new head cover and sparkplug cover but for now it´s enough for me as it is . I´m just happy that i have a very reliable RB25 that i know can survive my style of drifting . B)



However , not only the car starts now , as you guys saw from the first picture , the car looks a littlebit differently . The CPV35 sits on beautiful Uras Exols , have finally painted all the Nismo aero in one color and instead of the OEM CPV35 rear trunk spoiler it have a more aggressive but still OEM looking Nismo spoiler to complete the whole Nismo look And on top of that , a brand new Greddy Lip for the OEM rear bumper !



Now the car looks finally like it should . OEM+ with a littlebit of hotboi elements here and there ! :-X



Finances:
Uras Exols - Exchanged for the Weds
Greddy Rear bumper lip - 450V$
Nismo Spoiler - 400V$
R-Style Car shop x Bride Zeta III - 1 392V$ x2
Plane ticket - 700V$

54 374.06V$ - 450V$ - 400V$ - 1 392V$ - 1 392V$ - 700V$ = 50 040.06V$

Weekly paycheck - 940V$

50 040.06V$ + 940V$ = 50 980.06V$
