Major Update :

So its bean 5 days since my last entry. A lot has happened and let me start the story.


So I will kick this update whit the return of my fav car and best friend, the HCR32 returned from the shop and the problem was in the transmission, the rb25 transmission was not good enough for the 1200hp rb26 and its gear ration was bad for the engine, so those guys installed me a RB26 trani, set up the gears and installed ATTESA-S so the zilla is now 4WD! I got a deal whit those guys to respray 2 of their cars and put on their liverys for the work done on my HCR32...


Now on the morning of 24th July a crate from Japan has arrived. As I spoke to Amamuro and told him to get me doors, front quater panels, trunk door and hood and send me asap so I can respray the car. The crate contained all the listed parts including the factory c110 engine and the interior (whitout the seats and stearing wheel and dash). So I jumped in the paint booth and resprayed it as he wanted, the rare gray on white two tone that used to come on some of the C110s.



My next job on the list is the runing gear, we are going to use suspenssion arms from a R32, coilovers and modern brake sistem. He is not shure about the rims but he will let me know till then I will keep the car on the factory steelies.

Now another crate from Japan arrived this morning. It contained EJ20 Cylinder head, cover, camshafts and camshaft bearing bridges. All what I needed to compleat my EJ20. I asked Amamuro if he could get me those parts and send (and lower my C110 resturation pay check for that amount) and he managed to get them fast.

Now the only thing left on the imp is for Octavio to work a bit on it and get new rims for it....


Now to some happy & sad news at the same time!!!
My sister in Bosnia has a Birthday on Monday 1st August, so I will be away from 30th July till 3rd August.
My sis is currently looking to buy a car, but what she doesn't know is that I told my folks to not let her buy anything cause I will gift her my E36 Compact!
I decided since I have 4 cars at the moment and she doesn't have any, to gift her one. I couldn't give the R32 cause everyone knows its my baby, the A4 no freaking way its a memory of my cousn and I know she wont take care of the car so no!!! The imp hmmm could give that but not finished yet so the only car left to give away is the E36. The car is small and powerfull, I think it will suit her :D

Hehe well u never know xD. Btw thanks for the gift mate it wasnt necessary :D
Now I should give the final update for today and do a dive in to my bed xD

Afther I did the update today I went to a store and bought a set of Scale Inovative Shocks & Springs and a set of Brembo 265mm 6 pyston brakes. I took a set of Enkei RPF1 from my cousns garage, ofcourse whitout asking him xD.

When I watch the car compleated I feel happy but I feel sad cause I have to send it to Japan once I compleat it, well I did what had to do cause if I kept it I would go bancropt and whitout money I wouldn't be able to maintain my cars and drive them. I will go few times to Japan to check the C110 out. So here are some more photos of it. Good night ;)

So today is the 29th August, 3 days until my sisters birthday and a day when I ship the C110 to Japan!!!!


Yestrday the Susspension arms and rest of the susspension parts from a R32 skyline arived and I installed them. The rims arrived pretty quick and they fit the car af!!! As Amamuro asked me I lowed the car as possible and put a nice offset, 15x10 -10 front 15x10 -18 in the back, 275mm 4 piston brembo discs & calipers in the front and in the back. Fully overhouled and cleaned factory spec engine. The car looks sick but I have to let it go....When I let Amamuro know that the car is in a special container as he asked and is placed on the ship as we speak, he said that he made a deposit of V$32 500 on my bank account. 25k for the car and 7k for the resturation bill....


So as I were leaving the shipping office I saw something really strange looking out there.....

It is a freaking 180SX whit a LHD conversion and a lot of random parts !!!
2 years ago there was a drift event on these docs and the owner of that 180sx participated in it and for some reason the car was left there, I emediatly went back to the office and found a paper whit all the participiants names, car names and their vin number. I managed to find the owner of the car and I am going to talk to it and see if the car is for sale.

On my on sight inspection I found out that the car has stock hood, S13 front bumper and front right quater panel (its widened), widened 240sx front left quater panel,origin lab rear fender panels, side skirt from Odyvia, Origin Lab agressive type II rear bumper, APR GTC-300 Carbon fiber wing, european style tail lights, bride zeta3 front seat and a momo stearing wheel. The engine is a SR20DET Redtop that is not working (no wonder), straight pipe exhaust system and a self house made exhaust pipe.

It has got Kunny’z Racing Gear dampers, H&R drift shocks and adjustable Springs, the current ride height is 7.0 inches, it has got Volk TE37 type II 19x11 in the front and SSR Professor TF1 in the rear, for the brakes as much as I could see 275 mil brake discs whit brembo 6 piston calipers.
The car was a on budget self financing drift car, and was drifting for 2 years when the owner decided to leave it there 2 years ago.

Considering it was a budget drift car, what I heared from the guys at the docks that watched the drift meet that was hold there the car was good but the driver was lacking skills.....
Gonna see if I can snatch this beaten up retired drift missile.


So for all those that wonder about my finance, I spent V$6572 on restoring the C110, and sent it to japan to a colector for who I restored it, he payed the resturation V$7000 and for the car V$25 000.... I am thinking to start looking for old beaten up cars and to restore them to their glory just as those guys do it on the TV!!!!!!!!!

# Mikingo : Dem dat s13 got a rust on laminate nice xD , no it's all right i hope you do a great job :D
Thanks mate we will see about that.....

So I spoke whit the owner of the 180SX and here is his story :

While drifting the engine of the car just turned of and he started to spin, afther he stopped the course marshals helped him to move the car to the place where I saw it. While pushing the car they pulled the e brake and hit the normal brake to stop the car (not to hit the wall), when a hose broke and all the brake fluid went out. They didn't notice it and left to watch the other guys drift, in the middle of the event a storm came and everybody ran away and ice started to fall too. afther some time the guy remembered that he forgot his sx and went back for it. He couldn't find it and spent 2 days searching the docks to find the car, when they finaly found it they couldn't move it cause the brakes locked up!!! The owner said he will get for it one day but 2 years and the car is still there...
So , afther a little chat whit the owner I offered him V$2000 for the car since I am not shure whats whit the engine and the brakes are all locked, he accapted whit a huge smile on his face (I think he was actualy happy to sell the car cause he wont need to worry how to tow it home xD)


So me and my cous went to get the car,we took 2 of his workers whit us and we brought 4 car jacks to the docks, lifted each corner of the car and put some metal plates that are on wheels under the car wheels and we got it up on the trailer Huuuuuuraaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!

We took the car to his garage for the night, we started to strip it down allready removed rear bumper, front bumper, side skirts, spoiler, exhaust pipe and the tail lights. I am planing to take of the wheels and remove the seized brakes and put new discs on it and tow it to my garage tomorrow morning befour I go to Bosnia.



The good news is that the crankshaft is rotating but I will have to take the engine out and check cause who knows what the problem might be......
So thats all news for now, there will be more news when I get back from Bosnia, plus I will have a visit afther the trip too so it will be fun at the garage :D
Here are two more photos of the car :

Sup guys, how is it going.
I am on my trip to Bosnia and I am close to the Austrian-Slovenian boarder, if you wonder why I am so slow the reason is I try to keep up whti the lorry since the car is on a truck trailer, and the driver has to make a 15min brake afther 2h drive and 30 min brake afther 2h and 30 min of driving, and he can drive max 9h.So I am using side roads the whole time so we get in bosnia approximatly the same time.

Found a gas station on top of a hill and guess what it has free wifi xD, so I decided to stop, make a break let you guys know where I am but I had to buy a coffee to use the wifi (so much for a free wifi xD)
The sunset is gorgeouse here, I am in love :D

I will do one update when I give the car to my sis and befour I start my trip back so take care guys :D

Told my sis if she would go whit me to a car service to do some minor tune ups, changed the oil spark plugs and filters then asked her to test drive the car and afther she drove it I told her that its hers :D

I am starting to pack my stuff up and hit the highway since Mikingo is comming to my garage for a respray and Octavio whit Jorge will be soon at my garage too.
But first I am going to teach Mikingo to sandblast and prep for paint :D I am going to clean his S14 and start spraying while the layers dry I will teach him to sandblast on my 180SX

So Mikingo arrived safe and sound to my place. We jumped the gun emediatly, and stripped the car down. I am going to start preparing the car for a respray.

We had luck cause the previouse owner of the S14 has resprayed her in the past (the bolts are not seized up), now I just pray that he did a cheap version of respray whit only 2 coats and 1 coat of laker, we will see about that.

I will have to go on a little buisness trip for 3 days tonight, and since my cousn is on vacation I am going to use his modern paint booth so that I can finish the S14 respray fast :D

I am going to leave my garage and cars in Mikingos hands, ofcourse I will leave all my tools and conections so he can get all the parts he wants and mount them fast :D. And since Octavio is starting his trip to my place in 2 days I want somebody to wellcome him untill I get back.

About my 180SX, those headlights are freaking welded in place same goes for the quater pannels.....There will be a lot of cutting xD

So when I left to my cousns paint booth I left Andy whit my 180SX and told him to dissasemble it. And that exactly what he done

He took my cutting tools and cutted the front end and he even managed to take the rear quater pannel flares cleanyl. Good job mate on it now we need to take out that SR20 and sandblast it befour I go.

And this is how I got Andy his car compared to what he left to me.


Just kidding. I resprayed the car and since he done all the work on the 180, he joined me and assembled the S14 whit lightning speed. Andy actualy almoust broke the windshields so I installed them 1st :D


I will respray my 180sx when I get back but till then it will be in bare metal only.

So my work now continues!!!!
Since the 180 was allready sandblasted, this morning I went on a parts hunt. Found both doors, trunk and hood in a town nearby.

Afther I picked up those parts I started on rewelding the front end that had to be cut, I am almoust done whit the welding so afther it I will start thinking what to do whit the car.


A long time ago a friend told me "Bro recycle parts it will lower your costs a lot", so I did. I has some old Scale Inovative shocks and springs and had my old 300mm whit 6 pyston calipers brembo brakes from my SilEighty.OZ Futura 17x10 arrived this morning from Japan from a really good friend that doesn't need them anymore.


Currently I will be looking for a new interior, and I will need a RHD dashboard since I am converting this car back to RHD how it used to be when it left Japan. So if anybody has a OEM 180SX parts let me know the price in private message I am interested in buying, ofc I will pay the shipping costs.
