C-FAIRLADY - Update 1


Hai. After my long project, I decided to create a thread for my ride. I got that Fairlady 3 years ago from junkyard for a bargain price. It was going to be in crusher at that time, but I was lucky. it didn't had a lot rust & engine, but there was only 69 890 miles at the clock. From that time, I've done A LOT to my lady. Here's a list for things that are the most noticeable:
- Sanded & repainted ALL rust spots.
- Wider plastic fenders (these are actually glued to the car & ziptied from ends, I didn't want to drill bloody holes to the body)
- Smashed the actual fenders outer a bit to make wheels fit
- Worked on interior
- WHOLE new suspension system
- Rims!
- Hydraulic suspension (bags)
- few body addons
- crappy 1JZ just for long burnouts

For now I'm probably gonna set bags to the lowest (currently) & the high mode to make the tire top kissing the plastic fender. Plus I think I'm going to do a Vee-10 swap from a Viper. But we'll see that ;)
I'll keep it active here

C-FAIRLADY - Update 2


Uh-oh. Just installed a whole new exhaust pipe which I made myself. Straight pipe to be exact for extra loudness & FLAMES! Also built a little cap into that for making the thing quieter (not gonna explain whole system how it works). Anyway, I was heading to friend's place, driving all nice when suddenly a bumpy road which hit my exhaust pipe & killed a few cheap bolts. It was all loose, scraping the ground. Only thing I had with me was old JDM ring what I bought from a trip in Japan, never used that on my car before. However, I attached the ring to the car & exhaust, connecting eachother & voila! Fixed that on the run.
Here is the picture of a exhaust pipetip held by JDM ring.
