# Harrison15 : Anyone have any ideas on what I should get next? I'm looking for something I can use as a slightly more accessible daily than either one of the R33s. The GTR used to be my daily, but it's a little too wild to handle now (and it rips through gasoline); and the drift car is, well, a drift car. Hey man that would be great ill come by and get it whenever you are available! and for a daily, what about a 180sx or a silvia? Nissan fun with less pistons |

I've removed that wooden bed and de-rusted + painted the frame underneath. I already found a guy with a mint fleetside; The stepside offers not enough space imo.

# Driftphantom : Hey man that would be great ill come by and get it whenever you are available! and for a daily, what about a 180sx or a silvia? Nissan fun with less pistonsAlright, cool, it'll be around! Let me know how the build goes. Also, if I got a Silvia, it would probably give me a similar "problem" as the GTR after a short while, because I'd probably eventually feel the urge to throw an RB25 into it or something! I'm going to stick with something I could keep mostly stock. This post was edited by Harrison15 (2015-02-09 18:26, ago) |

Hello People!
 I finally got some stuff done to the e36. It's been repainted but knowing me it wont stay this nice for long. I got a bunch of drift events that I wanna go to and I go hard at the track. Walltaps all day!  These are pictures I took before I went to my shop and took the engine out and delivered it to dxg1997. Sorry about the long wait but I had stuff to attend to. It has come a long way from what it was but there is still plenty left. Still need an engine for it   I installed coilovers all around and got it lowered. I could go lower but it's not a showcar, more of a driftmissile. I am picking up a wisefab lock kit next week for it. I mean, the lock it has at the moment aint bad but would love more! The rims are SSR Meshes wrapped in 215/20/16 stretched Michelin Pilots. I got a good deal on them from a guy with a similar e36 like me and they are almost new aswell. Not for long though. As soon as I get an engine it it those tires will be gone. Now it's off to the shop to install some goodies!  *sneakpeek* |

~1 Month Later~
So since the last update much happened.I moved to a new place with my wife and kid, basicly other part of the town.The plus is that i got now a new fully usable garage with all the good stuff (no more outdoor freezing  ).Well the work on the Cressy was paused for 2 weeks cause of the snow, we had it here ower a half meter, so it was imposible to work.In the time the parts from Japan arived (grill, lights & trunk).We mounted the grill and the trunk and we sent the car to the painter.Snaped some pictures before they picked it up, and then when it came back from the painter.    here you can see the color better  Yesterday we mounted all the stuff that waited for the car to be painted.Btw. i sold the steelies, a guy came by and picked them up for 700€ with tyres.The car waits now for the seats to be renewed, and i still need to pick the the rims.What would you guys sugest?I want them 16" or 17".Write me some ideas for the rims.It would help tie the rims to a few.Here are some pictures how it looks now (dont mind the messy garage  ).

Update on the S13, I vinyl wrapped the car.
After that I went and took the car for a drift day with a friend of mine.   Got those reverse entrys on lock   Close up of that crazy lock up front. But of course my bad luck started to kick in and the engine started to flutter. Stopped driving before the problem got worse and that was it for the S13 today. But my friend let me have a go in his SC400.    Very fun car to drive, though much heavier than my S13 so I had to throw it around the corners. It's running a crate LS1 because the stock 1UZ was too bad to keep. Purpose built drift missle, no extras inside. Anyway, got some work to do on the 2JZ. In other news, my TT EJ25 arrived and conversion will start soon. That STI EJ25 is for sale if anyone wants it, it runs very well but it's not something I want to build upon. I'd rather sell it to someone else. Shoot me an offer if interested, it has only 62000 KM on it. (62113 to be exact) More to come. |

Man @Haku you go through those 2j's fast haha. what's wrong with her this time? Also I picked up Harrison15's rb30 block. I shipped it off to be cleaned up and touched up just incase but that thing was immaculate. Great job keeping it up man, I ended up exchanging the crank and pistons for new ones that will arrive when the engine gets back just because I know I am gonna pound on these and I wanted to have them fresh.

# Driftphantom : Man @Haku you go through those 2j's fast haha. what's wrong with her this time? Fuel line problems, all sorted now, but I wasn't getting any fuel to the engine. Came loose from the G's maybe, not really sure. Also I've been having some electrical problems, going to have to get those sorted out when I redo the interior. I've got a lot of maintenance to do on it

Well, with a back order on my coilovers, i just asked for a return. I got the bumper and it put it on. I wanted to get the VR, but it was gone before i had the chance. I didn't want a V8, or a 2j. I ended up selling the car. I sold the Mustang without the 302, so it's back in the S14. The Apache ended up being too much work, so i parted it out, sold what i could, and trashed what i couldn't, which wasn't much..mainly the tubing.

Picked up the bed and installed it. I used my friends F-250 and my car trailer to get it here. That thing is as mint as a 1966 truck bed can get. Even the planks on the floor are new!
 I've also ordered a LS3 crate motor. The stock one is seized up solid and I won't bother rebuilding it. |

Update on my e36: I picked up a rb26 block. I wanted to do something different so instead of going with a s54, an rb will do it. I still apreciate those of you who were willing to sell yours( you know who you are
) Im making custom engine mounts since the stock ones obviously don't work. I will also reinforce the front, well the chassis overall so it can handle the drifting i'll be doing. I'm not going for crazy power or anything but it should help improving the handling of the car. What goes for the engine I will be receiving parts in a couple weeks. In fact an extra engine. Not complete though. I still need an exhaust manifold, a turbo, a camshaft belt and a bunch of things. I also need to redo the wiring to work with the rb. Shouldn't be to hard

That e30 looks promising!
went to work on getting the car ready for its rb30. I welded new motor mounts to the chassis because the 2jz mounts just wont work.  I got the rb30 back from the machine shop today. the block came back all nice and clean and ready for goodies.  List off Goodies installed today: HKS Stage 4 Crankshaft HKS Stage 4 Titanium Connecting Rods Titan Stage 4 Piston Heads (not shown in pics) Chrome-moly Stage 2 Flywheel Giken Cluth assembly  What I Ordered Today: Rb26 Cylinder head Nissan Cefiro 6-speed Transmission (rwd) It is slowly coming together and I love it!

Did some work on the S10 today.
First thing I did was fixed the dent that I made on the first day I bought it Took a hammer to it from inside the bed and it was (almost) flush again. Also installed some rain guards on the door windows because they were lying around and $10. Then I retrofitted my old coilovers to fit onto the truck. Spun them down and then threw on some new shoes.   I need to work on the maximum lock I'm getting up front, but the truck is already plenty of fun and the best $600 I ever spent on a vehicle.   I've already spent so much money on the S13 that I plan to stop trashing it as much, that's what this one is for. Also the cost of maintaining and fixing this beast is much cheaper than the 2JZ beast. Gas is even cheaper in the long run since I only have to feed it 95 Octane Speaking of the S13, car finally ran out of registration and needs to be safety and emissions tested. Instead of paying them a bunch to say my car fails, I'm going to stop driving it on the streets and keep it as a track only car. Also I'm in the process of maintaining it, checking connections and redoing electrical. Next step is to throw out the stock seats and get a Recaro or two. Anyone want some genuine S13 Silvia seats? # Driftphantom : List off Goodies installed today:  Man you're crazy, that's going to be mad. |

Thanks for the support guys! That Silverado was an insane idea I hope ill be able to slide with you one day. also JDMGoat I am eager to see what you do with that beautiful e30. As for the stage 4 parts I wanted a near indestructible bottom end and low boost project hp for this is 700-800 range. I need new, wider tires for sure before this gets maxed out

Not to be an ass JACKS1994, but that's not a black top 4a-ge. You're
using the 16V head. Small update on the Supra, i've ordered a used front bumper and front left fender, still searching for a hood and spoiler. As i checked the alligment on the wheels the front left one is bend by the impact, changed it for an old steelie. the suspension needs work but so far i'm out of money for parts. i'll post some pics soon. |

350Z Roadster Touring xD He also considered an Audi TT, but disregarded that because he thinks its a "chick car" or an Impreza WRX, but disregarded that because of a faulty 2011 Forester. He disregarded ALL SUBARUS as being underpowered and having poor build quality. WTF YOU DIPSHIT?! I've made it my goal to find a decent WRX, not an STi, and race him and his Z and beat him lol. BTW about an '04 Impreza, TT, or Z

  The rb26 cylinder head came in today as well, but I sent it off to Forged Performance in Georgia to get modified to fit the rb30. I am still unsure if I want to go NA or a small turbo |

I've been away for awhile. Had some problems with like paying off debts with the S14 I built. So I had to sell my cars, was so depressing. I've had a stable job for awhile and I bought a 98 supra body and have been slowly building it since. It had all the body panels but they weren't installed on the car. Anyway here's where its at so far.
   Planning on drag racing it legally when its finished. So far, Titan Motorsport built and tuned engine (with a slightly smaller turbo so I'll be able to drive it almost daily) HKS Hipermax drag shocks and springs all the way around 15" 5x5 Weld Wlumastar wrapped in Firestone Drag 500 tires upfront and 15" 5x13 Weld Alumastars wrapped in Firestone Bias Ply's in rear Needs paint and maybe a 200-300 shot of nos. I will be bringing this to any car meets in the area, hope to see you guys sometime. Sorry if this is too long or confusing, still kinda new at this.

-->one month later<--
Big update today! The C10 is freshly painted in wine red, has the LS3 installed + side exhaust! The stock exhaust pipes were so rotten that I couldn't use them anymore. So I fitted a side exhaust. It just needs registration and besides that it's a sick truck with 360hp.   @TheUnhandyCivic: I wanted to bring this truck and the Cuda (which will be on a trailer) to a car meet not far from my garage. Looking forward to see your Supra! |

Tom Diablo : You going to keep that front end or do something different? Personally always loved the quad headlight C10s *Update* So I will start with good news and make my way to bad news. The good news is that earlier today I got a lot of work done. New interior bits came for the S13 and so I gutted it.  Then installed a set of Recaros and a new Nardi wheel.  Over the last few days I've been doing electrical work, learning how to rewire and fix things in the S13. I had the battery relocated to the trunk and then fixed the wiring for my signals, as well as my in car lights and the lights on the cluster were wired strangely. Also fixed wiring harnesses that connect to the 2J. Less issues now, so I moved onto the GC8 because new engine Gutted engine bay  and twin turbo EJ25 with plenty of custom bits  I took it out for a drive to break in the engine, all was going well too. Then... well...    I can't really explain what happened, but one minute I was driving about 80 KM/h and the next I rolled the car once before landing back on the wheels. I guess I hit something, but I didn't see anything and the car isn't incredibly low. Regardless, I'm okay and lucky enough to be, but my luck with cars seems to be the opposite because the whole steering rack is mangled as well as most of the car's body. Shit happens, unfortunate that it was right when I thought it was complete. This post was edited by Haku (2015-02-13 00:23, ago) |

# Driftphantom : Thanks Man it was Sunday! Also sorry about the impreza, is it salvageable? Ah, close enough and not too sure, trying to assess the damages and see if it's worth the money to repair vs what it would be to just leave it alone, maybe sell it, part it, whatever. Frame didn't twist (I don't think), but steering linkages are non existent now. Engine looks to be fine as of right now (thankfully as that is the biggest investment) but I have all these dents in the body panels where I hit rocks or something, like on the top of the door. My driver side window shattered as well. I'll take a closer look the the structural integrity of the car and see if the actually still is straight. We shall see.

XD Looks like the '93 Silverado/Sierra trucks are spreading around here
I've saved money for three months and my fingers are itching. I went to the junkyard and I had an incredible find:   Sad, isn't it? It has no engine, no seats, no bumpers, no windows, no nothing. BUT It's a LEGIT 22b; One of only 424 made. Found it out after I got it home and checked the VIN. I highly doubt to find a EJ22 engine that was installed originally but I'll see what I can dig up. |
