@[deleted], go ahead and bring your car over, I'm always down to help a friend.
The Liberty Walk kit arrived from Japan, and you can even sense the amount of dedication and craftsmanship that Kato-san put into making this kit, even before you open up the boxes and get stuff fitted. We got the GTR torn down, and the kit mocked up. We're mocking it up with the car aired out to make sure that my friend doesn't smash the kit into the ground when he's airing out.
Hovercraft fitment right now, but the front splitter sits literally right on the ground. Definitely can fit some 19x13's in that wheel well. Next up I'm going to cut his fenders (oh god).
And onto my own stuff. I told myself I wouldn't buy any more cars for the time being. But I just couldn't help myself. I make decent money off my job and nice cars pop up a lot in the areas I frequent. Last week I traveled up to Vancouver, BC, my hometown, to visit family. I was starting to head home in the S15 when I drove past this Sonic Silver ER34 sedan parked up on the side of the road, with a For Sale tag in the windshield. Immediately interested I decided to go hit up the guy, and needless to say after a little conversation about my car and the Skyline, I bought the ER34 for $6,000, almost all of my recent paycheck. Such a beauty.
It's 1999 Sonic Silver ER34 GT-T sedan, with 87,000 km's on the clock. It's a very clean example, never been crashed before, and modified in moderation. It sits on a set of H&R 6.5 inch lowering springs on the stock struts, riding on a set of 18x9.5 MB Battles, polished. The motor is quite interesting however;
It's an RB25 bottom end, with an RB26 head. Stock GT-R twin turbos and intake, but routed to an HKS FMIC. I'm not familiar with the RB powerplant so this car will be a good learning curve for me. My plans are pretty simple for now, drop it more, get some nice 3pc wheels, build the motor, but mostly just use this as a comfortable four door daily since as practical as the S15 is (its not very), it doesn't have as much trunk space as a four door and I can't carry as many people. Though, knowing me I'm probably eventually going to cage this car and forget all about my daily driver aspirations.
