CRINGEWORTHY FANFICTION SKILLS IN 3...2...1...


What's up, people? You may have seen my first post here, well, I have good news and bad news. Let's get on to the need-to-know basis. I was just cruising around the city in my daily driver, a Honda CRX. It was my 18th birthday, so my parents gave me 16,000 quid and told me to go look for a car. Anyway, I was cruising around when I found a very pleasing sight - a Nissan Skyline R32.

It was sitting inside a sort of an open workshop, lots of cars and people working on said cars. I've talked to the guy who owned the shop and asked about the 32, and apparently it used to belong to a locally famous drifter, nicknamed Big Boss, who crashed it. Since it used to be ex drift-spec, it has all the things you'd want. Widebody, a bit... down to earth, if you know what I mean, racing rollcage, among other things.

Good news first. The car's chassis is mostly intact. The team the famous drifter belonged to, whose name was Singh, bought the wrecked car in and straightened out all the dented bits and removed the panels that were too badly damaged to be of any use.

Bad news is, the RB26 that's in the car blew up, [Which was apparently what caused the crash in the first place. Locked the rear wheels up, I assume. Owner didn't say much.] and that the team didn't want to bother trying to fix a motor that might be irreparable. The only thing that was in pristine condition were, for some reason, the turbocharger inside, plus the racing intercooler and piping.

Anyway, the owner agreed to sell me the car for 15,000 quid. The reason why it's so cheap is because it's been sitting there for 4 years and the owner wanted to get rid of it. So I bought it, and had it towed to my friend's garage.

Whipped my phone out and snagged a picture.



(Yes, yes, crappy screen resolution and unrealistic damage. 1: I was in windowed mode. 2: I can't be bothered to run into walls and trees for 30 minutes just to make my car "look like it's been involved in a car accident." Ignore the epic multi-trillion dollar equipment behind, I didn't have much choice in garage mods.)

Are you even allowed to RP another VStanced user as dead? I mean, you were referring to BB, right?

Anyways, my camera died, but I am at a rest stop right now grabbing a bite to eat.

For anybody who is thinking it,

"Boosted, how are you driving two cars home?"

I'm towing them. Did you really think I would drive a car with awful gas mileage all the way to Nikko. What would happen if I crashed it worse than I did? How would i get back? Anyways, I am about 1/2 the way home. See you soon!

# Lagano : Well, that new owner can be me. For how much can i get them?

Two grand for a set, they're mint.

Le Update

Well i fixed the mounts for the front bumper, headlights and grille. I went to my local rally course to pratice and accidentally fucked my front bumper and DOOR?
Also i noticed an huge dent on my roof, my engine havent been running smoothly either... I heard unusual popping and cracking from the engine bay. BTW My intercooler is ded. I catched some air and landed hard on the front, my front bumper got fucked @ that moment.

Guess what, my engine collapsed in the middle of an roundabout, the 2JZ is dead. I really am the unluckiest man on earth, i wonder when i will get hit by a piano...

Or did you decide to lower the power when somebody critiqued you? 450HP is still a bit much for a daily hatchback...

Fuck... Harrison, you just reminded me that I don't actually have a daily... *sigh*

I might buy an older modedl BMW. I can't sell houses in a Mustang that's loud as fuck and missing body panels Well, I could but I would look like a bit of a dick.

Nice progress, my Camino is still the daily because I haven't been able to find a different car.
Having 700+Hp in a daily isn't fun when there is snow and ice everywhere.

If anyone has an idea of what to get please inform me!

That was really funny. I was a few cars back but at the time I almost shit myself as well

# ThatBoostedGuy : Are you even allowed to RP another VStanced user as dead? I mean, you were referring to BB, right?

(I couldn't think of any other name to use so I just used Big Boss as a reference. Should I change it?)

(Done. Not really sure if BB has a 32 in his private SLRR install but meh.)

Yeah I thought Foxbodys went until '94 but I guess I was mistaken. ABS still wasn't an option until '94 iirc but SN95's were in production.

More good news and bad news.

Good news first, we took apart all the panels and all the extra bits and sold them all off for 2,500 quid, which nets us more budget to restore the car back to its' glory.



We also found one of the rims in the boot - I'm sorry - trunk of the car. Looks like those Singh guys just stashed it there. Also came with a brake pad.

The rims were, unsurprisingly, original. No cheap plastic Chinese knockoffs here. What surprises me is that they're still in good condition. You'd expect a crash that devastated the entire front end of a car to damage the wheels in some way.

My buddy also told me they had found a some spare 32 engine bay subframes, so we painted those black [Because BLAAAACK] and fit them on, then placed the headlights on top.

As for the engine, here's an official situation report. As expected, the block is completely rotten. One big crack on the left side of it, which means it can't be used anymore, obviously. Turbos, crank and intercooler were fine, but the conrods were in half and the pistons have small holes in the middle. We inspected the top half of it and the cams were still fine, along with the fuel system. Naturally, the intake manifold is done.



So what we're gonna do is to scrap the engine block, pistons, conrods and everything else that's broken, and try and see if there's anyone here that needs RB26 parts so we can sell off the parts that still work. We're also going to be selling the rims that came with the car, they are size 19 and make and model are as follows:

Gram Lights 579, Regamaster EVO, Work Meister S1, and finally, Volk TE37V. We looked those up and they are pretty rare, especially the Meister, so the full set will be $1,500 including the tires for them. I'll have them delivered if you decide to buy 'em.

So right now, what me and my buddies are trying to do is to find some new rims and new body panels, as this will be my new daily. We'll come back to you guys once we've done that. If you're interested in either the rims or the RB26 parts then don't hesitate to contact me at (-Insert Number Here-).

(If anyone can find the mods that those rims are then they're yours xD)

Thanks Tom i'd take both for now but i may soon add some parts for 2JZ if i get the one from Lagano, so don't ship too soon.

In the meanwhile, i'm looking for a van or truck to fetch cars and parts... i'm on something kinda uncommon in Europe, you'll see it if the deal is done!

Okay Lagano I'll have it taken at your home ASAP by any transport company! The transporter will have the cheque to pay you.

So, after quite a while, I am back with a new project, that beign a Mitsubishi Galant VR4 with blown rear shocks and Legacy wheels...A bit of rust here and there, but I can deal with that I guess. Anyway, my plan is building this into a sleeper as it is a 4G63T so it won't be the hardest thing, I'ma do the suspension first though.

Makoto and I will be there in his white Fairlady Z(370Z). He bought some crappy steelies just for this and I want to check out your car in person

Sure, why not? You know, I'm starting to think I'm going to need something like a wagon to haul stuff.

# ThatBoostedGuy : Or did you decide to lower the power when somebody critiqued you? 450HP is still a bit much for a daily hatchback...

No i not decided to lower the power the power is 450hp i just has wrote it wrong at the first time and the 450hp are explained because she is not a daily hatchback she is also an circuit car for weekend
