Name : Benjamin Age : 22 Country : I used to live in Bosnia and Herzegovina but now I live in Germany Occupation : Electrical Technician Hoby : Welding & fabricating parts, painting cars, fishing and drifting
Remaining : V$26000 Income : Weekly Salary : V$940 Hi everyone. My name is Benjamin. I am 22 years old and I was born in Bosnia and lived there for those past 22 years. I am a Electrical Technician, and while in high school I learned from my father how to fabricate parts and how to weld. Whit age of 18 me and my old man overhauled our 190D. His old colege tought me how to paint cars. Afther I finished the overhaul of the 190D I sent a azil request to Germany and got it approved 1 month ago. I moved to germany I think 2 weeks ago, time goes fast here. For all those that wanna know me better here is my facebook profile : Facebook Profile
Start : Went to the car market today and saw few cars but I couldn't resist 1 specialy. I saw a Alfa Rome 155 that was on sale. 20 Year old kid were selling it, it was his first car, the car had done 237 000 km, but the problem were the engine maintance and his driving. The engine was not maintained well and its allmoust at the end, 2 gears doesn't work and the car had few "teenage mods" on it, 16" Bobert rims and a spoiler from E36 BMW.The Suspension is stock on the car, and thanks to the engine I got the car cheap just V$2500. Afther a test drive I knew that I had to do an engine swap so I am thinking SR20DET or 4A-GZE, and thinking to put air ride for now.Gonna register it afther the engine swap. What are your thoughs about this car and I would appreciate any suggestions thanks ] 2nd Car : While I was waiting for my parts to arrive, I got a phone call from a friend telling me that he got a hot tip for a S14 that is not publicly on sale and he got the tip from the owners friend.So I went there to check it out and I had a lot to see a S14 Zenki that is sitting in the garage full rusted out, missing front susspension, engine is seized, intercooler and radiator are busted the front end is dented from a impact so is the rear, when I asked the owner for the story he told me the following : I just got my driving licence and my father saw the S14 at a car dealer and though it was the best option for a new driver and he bought it. The car came totaly factory whit the SR20DE, and afther few years I started to tune it and installed a turbo on it and while cruising on the highway wanned to show off to my friends how my car pulls and floored the throttle and suddenly the car got out of control and hitted a pickup in front of me and got a bounced off to the guard rail.And since then the car was sitting behind the house and ppl without my knowlage (my father allowed them) to buy parts from the car and since the past 5 months the car is in the garage. The engine is seized the ic and radiator are busted front end is hevily dented, I fixed it as much I could and replaced the hood so that at least the front looked nice while the car was sitting there. So thats the story about the car. The owner wants totaly V$ 1800 for the car and engine together, Chassies only V$ 300, Engine Only V$ 1700. What do you think guys that engine needs a lot of work and the chassies but I don't think that I will find another one in bosnia soon and that car needs rescuq Here are the images Afther a long talk whit my friends I decided to buy the S14 and went to the owner to try to negotiate the price to get it for under V$2500, but in the end I payed it V$3000. I started to talk whit the owner and promassed him that I would fix up the S14 and take good care of it and that I will drive her daily, and suggested him to come to my place and watch the build going on and that he will be able to drive it when its done and thats when he hit me right in the balls. He said "If so then come whit me" He opened a door of a shed and bam brand new Nissan Skyline GTR R34 18" on brand new Michelin tires, they were still in the factory box, and when I shut my jaw he said there is more bam brand new R34 front seats and stearing wheel in another box and I was omg this guy is going to kill my bank account whit those stuff. And in the end he charged me V$500 for the rims + tires and the seats and stearing wheel, he even drove me to a junk yard to get the front suspenssion arms and some shocks to fit the factory brake calipers and his rims on the S14. As a thank you gift for reviving the S14 he gave me the rear bumper side mirrors, fenders and lights for the car for free. What a nice guy, I felt sad for taking the S14 from him afther I saw how much he cared for that car but never had a chance to fix it up....Life is cruel protect your rides don't let them die ..... New Parts : While the parts for the 155 were comming I took my free time and went and bought some afthermarket parts for the S14 : -R33 Front Bumper -Gentelman Side Skirts I found a body shop which would sandblast the car fix every possible dents and to respray the car for cheap money. Plus they will stretch the front and rear fenders for a peanuts money. The S14 Will be at their place for the next two to three days depending on the repairs.The color will be the same as on the parts that I made photos of. The S14 got sandblasted and got a call that there is not many rust on the car and that the collision dent isn't huge as I though so the sandblast, stretch and respray will cost me only V$2500 and the body parts costed V$750. Total cost for this V$3250 Alfa Hearth swap : The Alfa is compleat and alive Found a guy in germany that imports japanese engines and tweaks them Talked to the guy and he said that he has an 4A-GE that he can tweak to GZE and that it costs V$1300 and then I told him that the engine is going in to the Alfa Romeo 155 and he said then let me tweak it up and put the LSD instead the Open Diff. We talked about misc parts etc and when we came to the new price I offered him my 2.0 Bielbao engine and he said oh good I got a friend that needs it for the old alfa and we made a deal V$1300 and my Alfa engine (in the state as it is almoust dead) for the 4A-GZE whi LSD and GReddy belts and GReddy Oil filter and cooler.Got some sweet coilovers and rims + tires from EBay for V$1500 (Coils are used and the rims and tires I doubt that they are original but who cares atm xD) and last but not least I bought a new Brembo Brake set. 330mm whit 6 Piston Calipers for V%1000 and so the alfa is compleat. I won't be here for the next 2-3 days going to the body shop to check on the S14 condition and spend the rest of the money in it Alfa Romeo 155 Mods : - H&R Coils - Brembo Brakes - Enkei RS05RR (Not original) - Toyo Proxes (Not original) - Kakimoto Racing Muffler - 4A-GZE Engine - TRD Cabels - GReddy Intercooler - GReddy Air Filter - GReddy Oil Filter & Oil Cooler - E36 M3 Rear Wing (Came on the car when I bought it) - Raceland Susspension Arms S14 Update : While the S14 is in the body shop, I took the seized SR20DET to a buddy to check it out and the problem for the seizing was the crankshaft. The crankshaft that was in the engine had a smaller radius then the one that needs to be in and afther the crash the crank got dislocated and while it was sitting for years and years dust accomodated the empty space and seized it lol. Spen V$ 400 on cleaning the engine and make it run again. I got a Brembo 330MM 6 Piston set for the S14 for V$ 1000 and bought a muffler for V$200. The S14 had bean sandblasted and the dents were fixed and rust removed. Primar were applied to the car few hours ago and the car will be ready to come home tomorrow The S14 has arrived from the body shop and it looks awesome. Installed the susspension, coils, brakes and those beautiful brand new R34 GTR Rims. Engine fited the bay like a glove, I didn't done the dyno so I don't know how much HP it packs. Mods on the car : -Body mods : -D Max Hood -R33 GTR Front Bumper -Gentelman Side skirts & Rear bumper -326 Power Wing -Eye lids on the headlights (R33 Look-a-like) -GTR front seats and Stearing wheel -Susspension : -Raceland Susspension Arms -H&R Coils -Brembo 330mm brake discs, Brembo 6 piston calipers -Nissan Skyline GTR R34 18" Rims whit Michelin Plot tires (Both are brand new unused) -Performance : -SR20DET Taken apart, cleaned -New Crankshaft -New Conection Rods -Pistons were polished -New intercooler, radiator, oil cooler and air filter -Factory Turbo charger (cleaned and replaced moving parts) -Kakimoto Racing Mufler If somebody wants to buy this car feel free to contact me. I will be moving to germany soon and dunno what will I do whit the cars but I am still re-thinking bout the S14. But if someone wants it and will take care of it then feel free to contact me. About the price. I am not asking much I am asking the same amount of money that I put in to the car. I bought the car for V$3000 and put in another V$4850 and spent V$150 on cleaning the seats,door panels and the rest of the interior. So the total price for this S14 is V$8000. Alfa Compleated : Went to a car meet today and found a guy selling alfa rims, approached him and asked for the rims and then I suggested to trade my eBay Eneki for his alfa rims and we made a deal there. Dont really care if they are 100% original alfa rims since those enkei were not original too. Asked a friend to take some photos of my 155 whit the new rims, here are the rest of the photos Its not the turbo its the fuel/air ratio. I were experimenting whit it and the fuel is VP Racing gas (100 octane) and the turbo might not possible be stock I never checket the full story of the engine. I only checked why the engine seized and if some components were destroyed and repaired the rest.Don't judge me for not having enough time to check the engine properly cause I had the alfa to work on and I had different things to worry on the S14 then the seized engine, like the half removed win number but luckely the win number were correct only afther the crash half of the win plate snapped in half and the guys in the body shop saw it and called the police to check it out. The only thing I was thinking were that I gave V$3000 for the car and allready gave V$5000 for the parts and misc and if the win number happened to be fake I would lost the chassies and could kick my own butt and loose a tone of money. Trade : Since I am moving to Germany on monday I decided to sell my Alfa 155 today and travel by plane but I screwed up. Instead to sell the 155 I traded it out for this beauty (Note everything that is on the car came whit it except the foglights that I bought from Doge for my skyline chassies) The car is Subary Legacy RS STI, whit the EJ22 Single turbo STI engine. The previouse owner increased the engine size from 2.2l to 2.5l. Appearently the car packs a stagoring 525 AWHP, I didn't done the dyno I will do it when I get to germany. The car came whit coils sitting pretty low and sitting on Rotiform MHG 17". The car is registered for another 4 months so I will go to the DMV when I get in Germany. The car is in perfect shape, the owner got bored of it since he drives it for the past 4 years and decided to change the car. I had my rough estimate on the 155 in my head. I was thinking to get V$8000 for it whit the bottom price of V$7000. We swapped the cars and he gave me an adition V$2000. I gave him all the old and spare parts that I had for the 155. Gonna update my situation when I settle up in Germany. New Arrivals : BTW, I was away for a week one there are few reasons why. First of all my request for azil in germany got accepted so on last mondey I moved to Germany. Now you can find me in Plettenberg (15km from Dortmund). Then the second reason why I was way too busy was my car arrival. Afther a week on the sea the car is finaly on land and its in my garage. Yes the car is the HCR32 Skyline (GTS-T Version) and yes it is in mint condition the car did only 164 000 km and befour you all start going nuts bout it I paid the car only V$3000 whit shipping from Japan. A friend told me to check out deals in VS Garage so I did and Harrison found this on a auction in japan. There is a reason why the car came cheap and its cause its a rolling chassis (no engine inside the car) While the car was on the shipping I ordered some parts and few parts came allready. Here is the list of what I ordered and prices : - GTR Trunk lip and roof spoiler V$100 - LED Taillights V$300 - Illest Lip + Fog Lights from Doge V$250 - Rota P45 + Toyo Proxes Stretched 18x10 V$3000 - RB26DETT V$4000 Trunk and roof lip arrived whit the illest lip and fog lights and putted them in the trunk for now. The engine arrived too but the engine is in the at harrison and will stay there till friday. The engine did only 86 000km so its perfect for my idea. The engine tune will cost me V$8000 so the total engine costed me V$12 000. The rims and tires should arrive later today and will fit them tomorrow. For now I will send the trunk and roof spoiler for a paint and work on the fog lights and illest lip instalation. More info later see ya guys. Total Cost : - Car : V$3000 - Running Gear : V$3000 - Engine : V$12 000 - Body Parts V$650 Total : V$18 650 (got left on v$5 xD) GTS-T Update : While I was installing the lip and fog lights the delivery van came whit the rims and tires. I finished the instalation of them and my cousn painted the spoilers and I fitted them on the car.And while in his shop I was a carbon fiber rear diffuser and he agreed to let me take it now and give him the money on monday. The diffuser costed V$150. I am selling the rims whit the tyres that came on the HCR32. Rims are 17" and I forgot the tire size. Tires are pretty decent they can go for another 70-80k km I can guarantee that. The price is V$1000 for the set. Now I need to colect my money and to wait for the engine to come home. I had to push the car outside the garage to take the shots but who cares xD Today my RB26DETT for the HCR32 should arrive later today, so I was bored and went for a drive in my Legacy. Afther 30 min driving on side roads around Dortmund I entered a small town, while driving those beautiful old streets I spotted a diamond in the rough in the back yard of one houce. I approached to the house and talked to the owner. The car is a 240SX. That guy bought it brand new in the 90's. He drove it till 6 years ago when the engine suddenly stopped. The car was placed in the back yard and the owner covered the engine whit a vinyl cover since how he said the engine is his baby and due to not having enough time to ressurect it, the car just collected rust and even ended selling some parts of the car (Interier, Front,Rear bumper, headlights and tail lights). The susspension is stock whit factory rims and 2nd set of tyres. The car for some is a rust bucket, but not for me. Payed V$200 for it. For now I will see to fix the rust issue by my self since I am low on the budget since the HCR32. I will update the HCR32 later when the engine arrives but the SX updates wont be so soon sadly Here are some photos : And from a rolling chassis to a rolling godzilla. The engine is in the bay and the zilla has bean ressurected, the beast is a live. Engine was tuned by VS Garage to a 550HP. And yes that car is my new daily. Time to go back and to work on the 240sx Zilla got plates : While occupied whit the 240SX rust removal I noticed that I got out of the rust removal force, so I grabbed my phone and called a shop in Dortmund where I bought last time and they said well we got some more, I will prepare them for you, so I though to call my friend to pick me up since my zilla is not registered (sent request for it) when I got a reply from Harrison15 that my car is registered and got the plates. So jumped in and went to the town for new supplies of Rust-eze, Evapo-Rust, Rust Bomb, and Cortec's VpCI-423 Rust Remover and accompanying VpCI-415 corrosion inhibitor, well this will be the last supply since I got left whit the engine bay to clean and few bits on the middle of the car.Photos of the 240sx will be in 3 days (I hope so). While I went to resuply my anti-rust army I decided to take some photos of the zilla The car has bean tunned to 550HP by VS garage dunno what parts they used for the tune but the transmission is from a RB25 since I want to keep the car FR layout. 240SX Update : People said it was a rust bucket, people said that there is no use in trying to clean the car up but for all those guys the 200sx is clean again. Afther a lot of unslept nights and wasted a lot of Rust-eze, Evapo-Rust, Rust Bomb, and Cortec's VpCI-423 Rust Remover and accompanying VpCI-415 corrosion inhibitor, the 240sx is clean. Took me 7 day to clean the car. Good thing is that there were place whit not much rust so they got cleaned fast. Biggest issue was the floor and the rear end had to fabricate new parts and weld. The rest took a lot of rubing xD. Finished the car at 3am last night and when I woke up this waited me My cousn camed to help me 2 days ago and when I went to sleep he coated the car in primar coat. The car will stay primared for few days since I will go grab some nice sleep in the afthernoon and drive the whole night to Genova, Italy to pick up few parts for the car. I cleaned the front quaterpanels and hood and my cousn coated them in primar too and he is going to take them to a guy that asked me to sell them to him. I told him that the price for them is V$250 and he took it without any doubt. Total spend on the cleaning and parts that I will go pick up is V$2683.40 I will stay 3 days in Italy, gonna visit my buddy Lucas and check on his prograsse and give him a taste of my RB26DETT powered HCR32 When I get back I will finish the respray so stay tunned for it. There is a funny story how I made this photo So I decided to make a air photo of the 240sx chassis, so I climbed on my concreat wall and started to make photos when my paranoic neighbour spoted me, cause his eye sight is not that great he were thinking that I am a robber and so he called the police. Almoust got arested for photographing my own car. Here is the rest of the photos : [size=12]Home Sweet Home :[/size] Sup guys I am back home. As you all know I was on a trip in Japan and I would like to thank Nebojsa AKA Doge for being my host for those few days and borrowing me his car. I arrived in Japan on Saturday 26th March, and I was suposed to stay there till monday 4th april but something unexpected happened so I had to go home. While in Japan, my cousn moved to a new larger garage and left me his old one to use. So to move stuff from my old garage to the new one I had to go home. Since I arrived in Japan I was on a hunt for parts or even maybe cars, and so I found a engine for my friend Luis. I found my self a OEM Type X kit (Used from a junkyard),coils and brakes cheap. I found a guy that had to deliver some stuff to germany whit his plane so I asked him to fly me to here whit the parts and he accapted. I was suprrised when my cousn came to pick me up, he brought a van just to drive the parts and brought me my baby the HCR32 Skyline, damn how much I missed that car. So when I got everything to the garage I delivered the engine to Luis in Italy (send my cousns worker to drop it off in return for an extra day off), and I added the first coat of paint on the 240sx, I will add more coats later. I expect the car to be fully painted till tomorrow midnight. Well now let me list the things I bought and how do I stand whit money : -Used OEM Type X kit : -V$850 -Used H&R Shocks and coilovers : -V$650 -Brembo Brakes : -V$650 -Travel to Japan and back : -V$650 Total cost : -V$2800

Befour I painted the car I cleaned & painted the OEM Type X kit and the Center panel for kouki lights that I bought in Japan.I added some decals on the windows Reparked both my S Chassis and took a photo of them ( Silvia Chassis and Skyline Chassis) HCR32 Changes : As promassed afther I finish few changes on the HCR32 I will start my Adria Tour.So tomorrow I will start my Adria Tour. 1st stop will be Slovenia and I should arrive there at 12:00 or a bit later (since I am starting early), then Croatia and in the end Macedonia. As today is the day when we get our weekly salary well I allready wasted mine xD. Found a shop in Dortmund for Shocks, Springs and Brakes, and bought a set of Tein Circuit Master Super Racing adjustable Shocks and Springs, and Brembo Brakes set 330mm 6 piston calipers. Costed me V$1750.The cars ride height is 6.0" in the front and back.

The Adria tour were a huge success had a great time back home whit some friends.Had great touge time whit Lagano in Slovenia, epic barbeque in Croatia whit Scooby, done some wild drifting in Macedonia whit Starky. If you all remember while I was in Japan I had bought some presents for starky and his AE86 and delivered them to him on my visit. Photos from Slovenia will be uploaded by Lagano. 3 days ago plates for the 240sx came. Installed them this morning and went for a touge cruise.The car feels awesome to drive despite the stock engine the suspension settings are badass. 240SX Got plates : 240SX Headlights Tint Had a great time whit the 240sx on touge passes.On the way home I was thinking how to make my 240 stand out from the crowd even more. Then I got the idea to tint my headlights.So I did, went to the nearest store and bought a roll of tinting foil for V$20 and rushed to the garage and tinted them. Will see about new mods for the 240 but for shure there will be something new in my garage on monday eavning. Here are some more photos of the 240 and the HCR32 The more I look those 2 cars together the happier I am. This feeling is priceless to me. I love those 2 S Chassis SX Taken apart : This weekend I am going to Croatia again for some barbeque. Well I am actualy going for a delivery but we will have a barbeque too. I found something that Scoob was looking for a long time. If you wonder why I took my preciuse 240sx apart, well the answer is simpler. Upgrades. I got some new parts for it and they should arrive soon. Well as I said befour there were parts for arrival for the 240sx.Few days ago I ordered Rocket Bunny V2 kit for my 240sx. Then I went to a junkyard I was looking for a SR20DET engine. So befour I went to the junkyard sold my CA18DET for V$2000. Bought the RB V2 kit for V$2500 and SR20DET for V$2500, and the Fifteen52 Teardrops for V$900 (I will explain later why they were V$900). Since I had only V$2000 and sold the CA18DET for V$2000 I had to borrow some money from my buddy Nebojsa. So now I owe Nebojsa V$2000. Since I allready stripped my 240SX I mounted the new parts emediatly. The engine is a used non rebuilded SR20DET that was taken out a S13 Silvia. The engine power is unknown since it has not bean modified and the S13 was a daily driver for some beginer driver. Now about Fifteen52 Teardrops. The rims were so cheap cause they came from a 200sx that was in a colision and got burned to crips afther the colision. The guy on the junkyard said to check those rims for possible damage as he can't guarantee for them. Well I cleaned them and packed in a box gonna drop them to scoob this weekend. Later tonight I will start painting the Rocket Bunny parts. New Stuff : Hey buddies, long time no see. I had some personal issues to take care and some problems happened. As you all know I have ordered a RB V2 kit for my 240sx,and it arrived but there was one big issue whit it and I found out when I came home from Croatia. That kit was suposed to be shipped to the states, since the guy was waiting for 2 weeks for that kit, and the guy from RB misshipped it. I had to send it back but at least I got my money back.I gave back the 2000V$ that I owed Nebojsa and was left on V$500.Sold the Rota P45 rims from the R32 and boutgh Grams 15 days ago my power supply died and fried my HDD (FFS AGAIN), so now I am on this shitty laptop and I apologise for bad photos (for some reason I can't use the FOV).NVM the laptop xD, I was working at my cousns body shop on 1 car to earn money and payback nebojsa, but since I got the money back from RB kit I could actualy by some new parts for the 240 Well now its not a 240 anymore, I went to a junkyard again and found a tone of parts that I could use I will finish the car and will be a bit passive till I fix my PC. See ya guys SilEighty update : I was off quite a bit and will update my rp passivly since my temporary pc replacment lags as hell xD Finaly I fixed the SilEigty. Since I was long off there is a lot of text. Since I know most of you guys are interested in the photos I made a spoiler.Those that are curiouse bout my story will read the spoiler.Anyways thanks for your attention I didn't told anyone but the used SR20DET that I bought a while ago is making me a lot of problems. Then I found out that the engine block somehow got twisted, the fuel injectors were full of some dirt that we couldn't remove (like the previouse owner poured cement in to the tank xD) and there were minor issues whit the intake manifold but its all done, went to a junkyard found a straight non twisted SR20 engine block, and intake manifold. sadly the fuel injetors I couldn't find there so my cousns buddy gave me his from his 240sx project that he wont be able to compleat soon. I gave him my 240sx fron end (fenders bumper hood and lights) in return for the fuel injectors, and to pay the engine block and intake manifold for me. The block and manifold were cheap just V$550.Installed the licence plates again took the car for a spin and it drives nuts. 350BHP SilEighty, I will keep the power as it is since the SilEighty will be a show car only.As you all know I bought a Supra MK4 too so I am totaly broke as fck, tomorrow sending the last of my money to DriftPhantom for the Supra xD.The plans are simple I will keep the supra as it is, just will change oil, filters and probably go for a more sporty clutch sistem. I will leave it N/A and it will be my daily. Now the HCR32......The car started to feel odd somehow, so I will park the car for the time till I get more money to open up the engine, clean it and modify it even more. My goal whit the HCR32 is to make 900-950HP or even 1k to do a 1/4 mile race whit Harrisons R33, that would be fun I think a lot of you will look for that race. Enough of my crap talk here are more of the SilEighty photos, Enjoy them : RB26DETT Surgery : So the supra is 24h on the sea allready and more 456h to spend on the sea, I am worried. So to kill the time I had to do a sad thing. Since the engine of the HCR32 is feeling strange for the past two weeks I decided to take it out clean it and assamble it again. I wont drive it untill I get more money to visit a tuner here in germany to inspect the engine and tune it a bit more. I don't like doing this but the Zilla has to be garaged for at lest a month or two dunno,but better to garage it a little and prevent a major disaster. Here are some mroe photos New RB, and Installation : The Supra is almoust home, only 4 days more. Afther I checked the RB26 from my HCR32 and noticed that its a goner I contacted nebojsa to find me one in japan and yestrday he called me said that he found it the same day I called him and it was on the way to my place the same day. He said the bill is V$4500, I told him to get me a TRD Wing and GReddy lip for the supra and he found them too, they costed V$500. Last night when he called to inform me he said that I expect the engine crate today.So I was ready for it but in the end the crate supprised me. The engine crate is a Nissan 240SX. The owner of the car moved to japan in 2005 and he brough his car whit him self to japan too, and the owner needed to work on the car to change it to RHD, etc and he decided to do a RB swap. In the end the owner got a RB26 from a R33 Skyline 2 years ago and he mounted it to the car. The owner kept the car in his yard for 10 years, the only work that he did was strip down the car and install a half engine. The engine has got block,crank,con-rods,pistons,cylinder head and camshafts. The engine used to have 330HP. Now I am stuck whit another project xD, maybe I will sell this one in the end but still I am missing front bumper,lights,left fender but as the owner said to nebojsa he put the fender bumper and lights in a storage when he finds them he will send them to me. I need the full enterior and the engine. I will see what to do whit the SX but now I have to respray the engine bay of the HCR32 and work on the engine then install it. I hope to finish the HCR32 till the Supra arrives. Nissan 240sx and RB26 : -V$4500 Supra TRD Wing and GReddy lip : -V$500 3 more days till ma supra arrives!!! Last night I finished painting the engine bay of the HCR32 afther fixing the engine bay that destroyed my last engine.Mounted the engine and the manifolds now need to finish wireing and the turbo piping. I am planing to go tomorrow afthernoon on a dyno to check the power output and to write down my plan for the RB that I am intending to do.There is a long way till I get it to the similar power like Harrisons R33. Actualy I like more those black cylinder head cover then the old blue one. Yestrday I didn't gave much info about the 240SX in which the RB came cause even I didn't knew much. So the car originaly did 157 630 km, it had a KA24DE inside. The cars susspensions was worked up. The susspension was swapped 5 years ago, Shocks and springs were changed to Scale Innovative adjustable height. The current hight is 7.0" all around the car. Brake discs and calipers have bean chaned, discs are Brembo 275mm whit Brembo 4 pyston calipers, sitting on stock 240SX rims whit relatively new Continental M+S tyres. I am thinking to prepare the car for a respray. How I heared from nebojsa on friday I should get the front bumper, lights and left front quater pannel.I am thinking to respray the car in the factory red or maybe white not shure. And for the end here are some photos of the SilEighty. I didn't though about SilEighty conversion when I painted the car I was thinking about Type X or RB and I finished whit the Type X, but the color looks amazing on the SilEighty. 240SX Respray and assembly : So just a bit more till the supra damn I am excited. Lets start this off whit the R32. I assembled the engine yestrday and sent it to a local japanese car tuner to inpsect the engine, test it, minor tune it and do the final dyno and tell me whit how much power will I be left at the moment till I get more money. Now next topic is about the donor 240sx that I decide to keep. Afther assembling the engine yestrday I prepared the car for paint and late last night started to paint it. This morning a package arrived for me from japan it had the Front bumper and front left fender whit all the trims, driver door and passenger door panels whit the seats and dashboard. Since the car was in a good condition I only removed the top coat of paint and resprayed it to the factory color. Didn't need a lot of paint for it and didn't needed to wait a lot for it to dry too. I started to assemble the car 7h ago and it didn't took long since I don't have many parts for it xD. Mounted the bumpers fenders lights, trims, side markers, windows, windshields, driver and passenger door pannels, did the wireing for the dashboard and from it to the engine bay and the wireing inside. Still need to get the rest of the interior, and a engine. Since the springs that I have on the car right now are adjustable I lowered the car for 0.50" I really like the way the car looks right now, I am thinking to get a SR20DET in it and keep it at 200-350hp. Dunno bout rims yet those stock look pretty nice on it. Since I had the Type X spoiler since I came home from Japan while building the first 240sx, it was just sitting on my shelf and I didn't wanned to sell it and kept it. This morning I painted it whit the front bumper and the front left quaterpannel and mounted on the car. |
