Paintjob costed me 400V$

Its a good day! :awesome:

Heya guys,as you all may know i sold my daily(the EJ) my K2o in the EG is giving me issues it cranks but wont start sometimes,and when it does start it makes a sound like someone hitting a naim with a hammer,my GT86 is undergoing body work,i have been driving my skyline as a daily and i dont know if this is normal but it burns alot of gas,i was holding out to buy a car i had my eye on before but i came across a cheap Nissan 240sx ,basically bone stock SR20de with ITBs,it has 45,000 miles on the clock,was recently resprayed in the original color,the sunroof works,the AC aswell with a relatively new 5 speed gearbox,car is also fitted with Scale Innovative Coilovers. I called the owner and took a cab to his location,he showed me the ins and outs of the car,as far as the eye can see there was no rust or dents,the service history was great and it was overall a good buy. His starting price was 6500V$,it was a bit steep so I asked what was the best price and he said 5500V$,it thought about it and said i will give you 5000V$,he was hesitant but then he said I will take it!,He went for the keys inside his shop and we exchanged the cash for keys,he then took out some of his stuff from the trunk and said "take good care of her", Anyway heres "Risa"

Im not sure my longterm plans as yet but for now i might just slap on some wheels and daily drive it.

On to my GT86,i forgot to show you guys the rims i bought for it in the last update,here they are

Some 17" volk Te37s i got for 400V$,the might be plasti dipped in grey,im not sure yet

Clean hatch, dude! Can't wait to see what you do with it. And the 86 looking fresh.

Good day/Bad day

Yes my peeps,the GT86 has been painted and rims wrapped and i have started to rip her...I wanted something more than plain white so i did a

camouflage wrap on both fenders just to test it out...I might take it back off,what do u guys think?,paint costed 700V$ including the wrap also picked up

some aftermarket lights from a friend for 300V$,so far so good,I was considering whats the wildest thing i could do to her..and then it hit me,external

wastegate,some of you may remember my previous S14 had a external wastegate and i still had the pipe setup,I carried it to a friend to have it installed

because i was too lazy to do it myself

In my opinion this car looks sickkk

On to the bad news,as u guys would have seen i bought a new car...but i think i fucked up... :facepalm:

My friend was trying to sell me some wheels for her,some replica BBS wheels to be exact,i got them fitted at his house and decided to go to the shop for some second opinions.

Im unsure what got into me lol but i was ripping it in the rain on the highway to the shop

Suddenly i saw some slight blue smoke coming from the engine,i started to slow down in shock and wonder what could this be,i continued on because

i had to get to the shop or else i would be stuck in the rain the engine got weaker and weaker i started to worry almost had a hear attack

Well i made it to the shop alright...but i dont think the car is okay... The guys from the shop pushed it to the work area and started

to pull her apart,after an hour they delivered the verdict,i had a cracked block and cylinder head...Danggg man why do the good die young.

Well im keeping the car,i have a swap in mind but any suggestions?,here she is tho :crying:

[Thanks guys]

Aye thanks bro

RocketBunnyS13

86 looks sick man. Good luck on the S13

BigSmoke

86 looking so, so solid, I dig it! :thumbsup:
I'd say continue on wrapping the rest of the car 😉

Also sad to see the 180 out of the action at the moment. I'd say either get another SR block or, for a experimental bonus points, F20C 🙂)
Or go mad and get a JZ/RB block 😉

Soju

I hope the 180 gets a new heart, that is a big oof 🙁

Also the 86 looks really great!

Sleepin_mOnkey

keep it sr and get a vvvt head

DEADMANE

Looks great! Yeah I agree, keep it SR!

?????? ????????

I have been looking around for a shop for to work on my cars. I cant do it at home because my neighbors are fussy af and i don't want problems, I recently

found out that my cousin who had a shop was moving to China to study medicine. I called him up and asked if i could occupy the shop until he gets back from

China,he said i could!,i'm so pumped the shop is called THE DEN and its not as big as i would like but it can accommodate all my cars and more so its free.

I recently got a 30,000V$ bonus from my job,i went over the requirement for 3 months so i cashed in big time. Anyway heres the shop

Its pretty neat huh,if anyone is in Cali yaal can pull up

You guys are maybe wondering what is happening, but yes i put myself into bankruptcy,I went over to my cousin to get the keys for the shop and i saw

something under a car cover,i didn't pay any attention to it, until he said, "you wanna buy a gem?", my curiosity grew high,he whipped off the cover, and

OMG it was a fucking XXXXX I started to check it out and my god is was clean. I asked the price and the said its valued more but i

can get it for 30k. I stopped for a while and then it was RIP Bonus (2019-2019). I gave him the cash and he gave me the title and said,"good luck and be

careful she is a beast". I drove it back to the new shop to take some pics and this is what i bought

Yes guys,i bought a 1996 Toyota Supra A80! It has 34,xxx miles and is almost STOCK This is the stock twin turbo 2JZ,it was supposed to be

automatic but the only mod done was a 6-speed

V16x manual gearbox and its pushing exactly 326HP. She burned a hole in my pocket buuuuut, i should be getting my tax refund soon so i can count on that

and i got a full tank .

Im not gonna get any paperwork done for now im on payed vacation, im planning to visit my parents in jamaica and i MIGHT stop in Japan.

Well thats it for the supra for now. On to the GT86 i got a hydraulic handbrake, i had to remove the front seat to get space to install it but,it works

pretty good

And i went sideways ?????????????? ?? ??????

Well , hello there fellow JZA80 owner ! Glad to see another JZA80 on the forums !

Alex876

So im in jamaica!,i landed a couple hours ago I wasnt planning to post an update until i got back to Cali,but i just had to show you guys whats going on...

You must be wondering wtf am i talking about,also where is the skyline?... Yup i took a financial plunge, i have built,and i mean fully built my skyline.

I got a 76mm garrett turbo(500V$), a stage 4 rb26 ported head(900v$),a stage 4 rb26 block(1000V$), race pistons (200V$), and tuning, and hoooooolllllyyyyy

shit im making some big numbers

Here is a breakdown of the days of hard work and trouble that took place in the last few days before my vaca begun

I almost fucked up because while doing crazy pulls,i remembered i need bigger brakes. Well shit,i had to pick up a brembo set for 200V$,went back to the shop to get in installed,i also took of my top secret hood and put my stock hood back. Anyone who wants it can HMU

Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech

Nervous laughing I also got some new wheels. Anyone willing to take me in when i go bankrupt? Please? 🙂) Also im selling my XXR wheels,(no tyres included) My new wheels son

I dig it,do you?

So dyno day, I left my front bumper at home because i knew it wouldn't be able to get up on the dyno... after she got strapped up i crossed my

fingers and hoped that not all my work was in vein,my power goal was 700HP

Well guys,at 42psi and 9k rpm i am making 849hp,thats crazyyyyyyy fast im wondering if i can handle so much power to the rear wheels,I might need to go

AWD for my safety 🙂) i am beyond pleased with the results if this car

And in my next update you will see, The RPS13 has a new heart,and its beating

Nightkid

Oh boy , ER34 is getting serious !

BigSmoke

Proper contemporary JDM wave vibes from the R34, I dig that :thumbsup:

Also DAMN BOI now basically the R34 is a rocketship. Either tune the power distribution so it's focused on the rears or get an RWD transmission if you worry about understeering under such power. Obviously we don't want to see it plowing through armco or walls 😉

Soju

I really like the looks of your R34!

Alex876

Aye my dudes, so im back from Jamaica, sadly i didnt get to visit japan this time,but i will surely be there before the year ends.

So im back in strict ol' california, the cops here are not easing up on the exhaust law,its been crazy so far.

Anyway, on returning to Cali,I went to pick up my RPS13 from the body shop, and when i saw her i was soooo dam pumped.

So if no one noticed,i got the SR out and i put in a........ K24 that came out of a Honda Crv,it has a F20c gear assembly and were good.

Some body mods were also done to her,i got a type X kit (300V$), a carbon diffuser (100V$), Nismo wheels, i cant remember the exact model (700V$)
Custom floor mats(50V$) Vertex shift knob (20V$) And a AP racing brake kit (400V$) A pair of Bride low max seats (300V$)

Some of the stressed we had to go through to get this car running was,

Got my engine mounts moved
I had to tweak my pedal assembly to communicate with the new engine and gearbox
Had to ensure fuel system wasnt bundled or else id have a burnt out shell
Added Mishimoto radiator for adiquete cooling (100V$)
Modified the AC and power steering

The engine came with an AEM ECU with a two step tune so im gonna be shooting flames (when i get an exhaust)

Luckily the F20c gearbox and diff were a perfect fit in the tunnel so i didnt have to do any cut or welding

I took the car out to burger king before going home,i turned alot of heads when i hit vtec in a nissan 🙂)

After i ordered i was waiting for my food i went outside and took some pics with my note 9

I carried my food home, and finally the RPS13 is back home

You thought that was it? Lol god no... I got home and got down o business,I started with a neochrome headlight wrap,its not legal but...You only live once dont you?, I also got some stickers that i carried back from Jamaica and installed them, now this is the final form of the RPS13

I think this will be my daily for now,i want to carry the skyline on a track day when i have the time
Thanks for stopping by guys
