My name is Landon, known as Buzzsaw. I’m currently living in Moka, Tochigi, Japan. I’m 25 years old, and I am currently owned small garage, that I am just recently set up the affordable garage. I’m currently no vehicle, because I was focused to finish off schools and college with good grades, and I’m starting to used be bus as commonly used. You can call me, “Bus Wanker!”.
Interested about, I found the advertising poster from the police station, they are going to auction impounded vehicle, mostly owner is returned and collected it but some people didn’t return it. So, I am going to the police impound yard, where the auction is, many cars wasn’t right for me, because mostly was Kei car, work van, etc. I was about left the site and I hear voices; “Coming up next, 1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS 2.0 petrol, it has been sat sunny spot for 6 years, it need loads of maintenance and re-registration for number plate.” I pause and look faded red R33. I knew, this car going be mine. So, I started first bid, but bidder seen slow than what I thought, and finally I won the bid. TWO DAYS LATER… R33 is finally towed from impound yard to my recently rented garage, where R33 started to work on. Damn, I felt like I was a kid to enter the candy store. Once, R33 is on ground and in my garage, then I am doing cleaning the R33 using snowfoam wash and deep polished and wax, but paint seen wasn’t restored, I was disappointed, I thought R33 doesn’t need re-painting, but I guess I was wrong. So, here my photos, she is cleanest as it was possible.        Pops my hood and trunk!  RB20DE with worn out and dirty HKS filter, noticeable some there oil leaks. Engine won’t crank, suspecting the engine is seized.  Hey! That where missing light came from and free old battery. Seen light have broken bracket. Close up, modified inspect…  Ooo, nice wheel! Look like, it is Volk racing? The sticker seen missing, and I may need more inspecting it, all 4 wheels have badly damaged, also some wheel nut have nearly rounded.  No branded aftermarket exhaust, look like custom one and I notice some welding look like dodgy. Big question is… “How much, you fucking pay for R33 GTS?” 4,500 V$ for R33 GTS that need loads of work, but seen worth to spend for new project. Plan is for R33 GTS… Strips R33, patches the any corrosion area, improve exterior look, re-sprays it, replace engine to RB26 and kept simple tune, and maybe GTR suspension and brake overall. I have to kept street car friendly, and passable inspect so I can registration for number plate without problem. Let me know if you can do respray vehicle or you know somebody, let me know. Alright, I’m going home, and I’m tired from spending six hours to polishing R33 GTS. Wallet; Before total price ~ 20,000 V$ R33 GTS ~ -4,500 V$ After total price ~ 15,500 V$ |
