Quick update/ introduction to my new build. Don't really feel like doing a big write up like I usually do so I'm just going to cover the basics in case anyone actually is interested.

Few weeks ago my new car arrived at my shop from the docks.





The story for obtaining this car isn't as simple as me going online and buying it. I actually know a guy living in Japan currently who works in importing and exporting cars over there. He's my go to guy on parts and halfcuts. I was talking to him one night about parting out the 240SX, probably a couple months back. He said no, don't do that, sell it to me I know plenty of guys over here who would love a 240SX. He asked around and found a buyer for me but things got delayed for a little while and so a month ago I asked whether I should part out the S13 or buy a new car. The answer was solved for me when a guy over in Japan said that he'd trade me the 240SX for this JZX100 Mark II he had. It was formerly a drift car and it used to have stock a 1JZGE that he put some money into. He blew that engine and took it out, then the car just sat in his shop for about 2 years. He sent me a couple pictures and I told him we had a deal. It took just over 2 weeks for this car to get to me, but that was 2 weeks ago. Since then I've put in some work.

First thing's first.



2JZ goes in. This is the 2JZ from the S13, so already this car is making 800 on low boost, easy.

The wiring and mounting didn't take too long, I just needed to go find a couple parts from the 2JZ version of this car to get the engine where and how it needed to be. The exhaust system was then done and fitted with a nice 3" tip on the back for loud 2JZ noises.

The car came with some great suspension work already done to it. The inside was already rocking a hydro handbrake too.

The next thing to come is appearance. I'll just skip right to the final product.







Once again I looked to Japan as it's near impossible to come across parts for this car here in Valo.

First I ordered areo/body parts in the form of someone who had these custom never used wide fenders and overfenders for the car. He also threw in this front bumper that he no longer was using. I actually don't know what brand this is, at first I thought it was Origin Labs but it's not. Anyone know?

I immediately went to my friends at Work Wheels for the amazing 18x10 all around VSXX's and Kumho for some of my favourite tires that I've used on almost all of my cars.

After I got all my parts to my door step and then fitted, I dropped the car on it's ass and did an alignment. I still needed 55mm spacers in the front to get the wheels up with the fender, as well as 35mm in the rear.

This car is nowhere near complete. It still needs lots of work, including paint and fine tuning. More to come when I have the time.
