Hello there, long time since I've been on this forum. I've missed it, though due to computer troubles, I haven't been able to upload (aka My game was wiped)

As I am back, I figure I'll update you on my most recent purchase and build. I started a long time back with my Integra, which was in an accident, then my Subaru which I've since sold, as well as my E36 and my R32 skyline.

A little while back I found this beautiful S30 chassis sat in the back of someone's shop. I was told that the owner had left it there about two years ago and never bothered to come back for it. I called him up and offered him a little cash. The day after I went to pick it up and bring it back to my garage. This is how it looked.




The car came with half of an old single cam I6, so first thing I had to do was replace that.

In goes this fresh RB25DE that I found on Kijiji. The owner claimed it makes about 200hp. If about means 50 less than, well then he'd be correct.


After a little over a day of hard work, the new engine was fitted nicely into the engine bay.
Now it was time for paint. I began to do some rust repair and then sanded down the paint to prime it for a new coat.

Then I fitted a splitter.


With the car prepped, I sent it off for a proper paint job.

Lights were then installed, along with new windows and some black bolt on fender flares.



The car sat like this for about a month until all the parts I needed for the suspension were in.
I stripped out the old suspension completely, replacing it from the bottom up. I made a choice that many people will probably frown upon.



I put the Z on air. I nearly went static, but at the end of the day I like the benefits of air much more than the cons of coils.

I then took it for a test drive, not too far away from Valo City.


Aired Out


and no air




So there it is, my build so far.
My plans are decently simple (so far)
New wheel set up,
Engine rebuild (Maybe turbo??)
Body work
More low (I want to scrape)

Thanks for taking a look, keep your eye out for progress.

Do it for the ratchets
