# Renaruto :
It is finally here... kind of

The S14 is almost through it's hotboi conversion. Visually it's almost fully done now. But I just can't wait to show you the state that it's in now. Ward and I worked really, really hard on this project and we even got D-Magic and PS Taka to help us with the livery. It was a really fun process and it made so much fun working with those guys! I learned a lot and I'm seeing forward to more projects.



But now more infos about what changed besides the livery

Actually.. Not much to be honest lmao. I bought a full D-Max Type III bodykit consisting of front, rear and sidekirts, front and rear fenders and a roof wing just to finish it off. Also exchanged my VS6s with some Kosei K1s because they fit this style way more in my opinion.

The project even got featured on a local tuning magazine!



On the mechanical side.. nothing really changed sadly enough (besides the new gearbox and the GT-R LSD that I mentioned in a previous post). Before anyone calls me a ricer - I'm currently looking into getting some more preformance parts for this thing.

Just wait.

Ayyooo yo boi is bacccc uwu

YAP. Im finally, offically back out of my little winter-holiday sorta phase. Even tho I was inactive on here and just posted that one teaser doesnt mean that I was inactive IRL. There are no massive changes (besides the fact that I moved into the surburban area of Tokyo) but still some stuff that I need to share with you guys.

Lets start with the S13!


As you can clearly see I got a new front bumper for it. I actually even modified it myself. I bought a normal 180sx pignose front, a MK3 Supra Turbo A vent,a random pignose front lip, some filler paste and white paint as a groundation - everything costed me around 300$. Turned out pretty good if you ask me.





Even tho the idea definitley isnt mine. Its actually inspired by Mitchell Irvines 240sx that he now kinda built up into a rally car. I also got some rear valances for 250$ just to do some final touches on the body mods... Now I just have to get the front bumper and rear valances painted.. maybe even the whole car..

Now to the S14 which probably had the biggest changes engine wise :P



As most of you already saw in the teaser Ive posted couple of months ago the S14 finally does have a Turbo setup right now!
I would show you some pics but the whole thing is still w.i.p. :p (Also costed me about 1.150$)

Instead lets look at the new wheels Ive got for it. I actually managed to find some really awesome Panasport G7 C5C2s for about 1.400$! The fitment is just absolutely perfect.





And just to top everything off I also finally bought a proper seat and steering wheel combo for about 700$ (both used).



Okayyy.. Thats everything for now. I'm so happy that the weather is now getting a bit better now so we can all restart our "adventures" this year.. 2018 is gonna be guuuud :3

Hey Ren!

I'm in Japan right now and the clutch on my 200SX broke on me.

Mr.Zoom is in Britain and Juancitoo is busy somewhere right now.

And I'm getting a little... desperate.


Can you give me a tow?

Please?

Right.

If you can't do that can you pick me up and drop me off at Tochigi?

I know you live in Tokyo and Tochigi is far away...

Okay it's a 2-hour drive from where I am.

yes. dis guna be gud ;3

O boi - Yet another S-Chassis, yet another money pit.

As you can CLEARLY see by the teaser, I actually ended up buying yet another (po)s-chassis. I bought this of some American dudes that built it for themselfes for the times that they've come over to Japan to do some laps on Ebisu. But now they've moved on to bigger projects and left behind this rather simple built-up Silvia.



I actually ended up finding this thing when I joined the others at the drift con thats currently taking place on Ebisu. I'm not participating myself but that doesnt mean I can't go there to watch them doing there runs. At the track I bought this thing at the workshop of the guys behind Powervehicles. Since this thing has a lot of problems that have to be fixed (one of the biggest problems being that the turbo is blown) I got it quite cheap. I guess 3k is quite alright?



It just has about 90k down the clock but... Its definitley worse than it looks. The mods done to it are quite simple and.. quite "haggard". Welded diff, straight pipe exhaust, exhaust header where I can't even quite say where its from and really cheap coilovers to top it off.. But atleast it has a proper Koyorad raditator to cool down that quite beaten-up SR20 red top.



It also seemed like that before they started their new project, that they've started to take apart the interior a bit.. I mean the stereo and ac controls are missing and for some reason the driver side door card comes of quite easily in some situations... probably because the whole door already was replaced by a new one. Heh.



"But what are your plans for this?" you might want to ask.. Well. Drift build. Simple as that. Who would've guessed :P B U T - Im gonna go full out with this one. Let's see it like that. My S14 could probably join D1SL while this S13 is probably going more towards stuff like Final Bout, SuperD or even D1GP. Not gonna tell anything more about the plans for now :P

@marcus915: WHY DO I ALWAYS BUY MORE EXPENSIVE STUFF THAT I COULD'VE BOUGHT (a bit more) CHEAPER FROM YOU EARLIER ON. fuck sake.

S13 Part 1: Less is more.

It didnt take long for me to start working on this heap of junk. Ward, Skip and me started the day by taking a better look at the chassis if there were any signs of a bent frame or more rust underneath the car but gadly we didn't really find anything. I just don't want to start working on a car thats gonna make serious problems later on, even tho that might be a thing that I should've checked before I bought it. Atleast we did it now :P



The only thing that we did notice that the coils might be blown and theres just a bit of rust in the rear wheel wells (which is pretty normal). But lets just say both of these problems will be solved in the near future ;) We continued or day by removing interior stuff that I dont need for the complete build. The seats are pretty stinky and worn-out so they definitley had to go. Im gonna throw them into the trash straight away so I'm sorry for anyone that was interested in them but trust me, they weren't even good enough for a restauration or something in those lines.





We also started on the 5 lug conversion that I planned for this thing. The stuff that I bought for this swap consists of:

- OEM Z32 rear hubs and bearings for 160V$ (used)
- Ichiba S13 5-lug front hubs and bearings for 200V$ (used)
- New Brembo rotors front and rear (normally fit for Z32) for 90V$

We only ended up finishing up the rear since all of us had to do some stuff later that day but also because the Ichiba hubs didn't even come yet. Since I didn't even buy any wheels yet either I'm currently using the Koseis that are normally on my S14 (17 inch for reference). Also don't worry about the fitment.. That will be fixed in the future :3

Gettin there

On the last update I just took a small bit of the interior apart - now theres just the dashboard left. Like I said I wanna do a bit more with this one other than the S14. Although most of the interior pieces will go back in I had to get rid of them because of several reasons. First one being that we installed a rollcage. I actually bought a used Cusco 4-point bolt-on cage for 300V$ but modified it with some extra crossbeams so its more rigid and holds up better. Also instead of just bolting it in I welded everything together.





As you might notice - from the outside the car is red but from the inside its black.. Probably was repainted red from the outside I guess..

Besides the cage I also ended up finishing the 5-lug swap in the front.



Now I'm just currently waiting on the packages with the new body and interior mods so I can finally send this thing to paint.
Only thing I should do before that is removing the engine tho.
