V$ Marcus's RP Builds

marcus915 · 2016-02-23T17:33:46+00:00

Hey everyone! I live in Osaka, just up the road from my good friend Lewis. I'm a huge Nissan S Chassis/R chassis and Toyota JZX/GX/MX fan. I work at an office, basic 9-5 job, gets me through the day. Usually out terrorizing Osaka streets at night, or running some touge with my team Cooldown late into the night. Everytime I buy a new car, I'll add it to the list on this post. Spoiler: Starting balance - 20000V$ 1994 Nissan Silvia S14 Club K's 1990 Nissan Laurel C33 Medalist 1991 Nissan 180SX RPS1

11000rpm

clean C33 there, maybe shall we take a picture together with my X81 mark 2 after yours is done?

marcus915

thank you guys!

@[deleted] this is an update just for you since you like my ZN6 😛

Several things have been purchased -

Greddy side skirts, 5,000yen
Garson Ryugi (18x9.5j +10 F/18x10.5j +5 R), 24,000yen
Paint match, 500yen
Custom fabricated blast pipes, 8,000yen + labour

Pretty happy with the car so far! Looking into possible boost options, maybe a turbo? Or possibly even do a motor swap, I'm not sure.

180SX has not changed, haven't driven it since the last update. Trying to figure out my fuel cut issue at 7k RPM.

S2000 is my daily driver, now sporting an aggressive Voltex diffuser, very comfortable despite it's ride height and spring rates.

Laurel is currently chilling, doing some things to it at the moment. Getting it registered and getting it dropped.

S14, well, under construction like usual, no pics until I'm done 🙂)

49,305 - 2400 (Wheels) - 500 (skirts) - 5 (paint) - 800 (Exhaust) = 43,600

bump this since new page

Jz in tha Zn6

Hmm, have you check fuel cut out during boost? If you boosting too much pressure. and ecu will tell fuel system to cut out (on 180SX).

Sleepin_mOnkey

Or you just need to check your fiel system maybe an catch tank will solve the high g force fuel miss

I'm running a 1JZ on a Apexi Power FC, so it most likely wouldn't be a result of a problem from the 180SX itself. I think it might not even be a fuel cut issue, might just be that I need to upgrade from a standard fuel pump since I'm pushing well over stock boost.

Sleepin_mOnkey

Yeah that should be the problem also because the Jz is a lttile bigger than the Stock 180 engines and a tuned one needs even more fuel.

marcus915

Yep. Should be picking up a bigger fuel pump soon.

Well, my so called friends accused me of doing something I didn't do, and abandoned me - oh well, life goes on. Hit up the local UP Garage and asked around for coilovers they had in stock, and they said that they had a set of rare Kei Office coilovers for the S13, and having done some research, S13 suspension bolts right up to the C33. So I jumped on this offer and bought them for 15,000yen. Fitted them in the driveway since the car still isn't road legal (yet), and I must say it looks sweet. Also bought some purple tint for 3500yen.

I have about 10 threads left to go in the front, and around 8 threads left to drop in the rear. Should be able to get fully dumped soon! Next plan is to get the insurance transfered from the 180SX to this car so I can get it on the road and go streeto with some of my real friends.

Damn dude that C33 is looking good I am a huge fam of the two tone soon as I get my new gearbox we must go for a drive

Mikingo

Purple is my favorite colour , and with this tint its just perfect perfect <3

Sleepin_mOnkey

Cant wait to see some skids on that C33

marcus915

Going to go pick up plates for the C33 today! Also scored myself a set of cheap Kouki tails and center panel for 2,500yen.

43,600 - 250 = 43,350

Those pictures are tempting me to take another trip to Japan, friendo.

Come back to Japan! Will take good care of you this time.

Been a good while since I've been here, for good reason. I boosted the FR-S, with the choice of induction being the Greddy T518Z kit, which ran me a cool 44,000yen, a good price for a solid gain in power. Up Garage took care of the tuning, and the car ran a gain of nearly 100hp at the wheels, which is more than enough for what I do with this car. After then, it's spent the past few days in the paint booth.

Also got plates for the C33, but blew up the RB20 (connecting rod bearings were pretty shot, and a hard thrash session at Meihan finished off my motor by throwing a rod through the block). Going to find myself an SR20 to throw into this car.

43,550 - 4400 = 39,150

Mikingo

I finally got the Scion back, and it's been repainted in an OEM BNR32 colour, 732 Black Pearl Metallic. Also took the Garsons off, and put on my set of CR Kai's, though I have some other wheels in mind.

I've also been refreshing the 1JZ in the 180SX, and I'm still shopping around for a set of wheels for the C33.

holeecrab

holy fucking shit that was fucking mint <3

marcus915

thanks bb <3

forgot to mention - finally got the wheel situation sorted on the C33. Pics soon once I adjust my suspension 😉

Mikingo

woah i wanna know what a wheels yo put there !

marcus915

Also - finally some pics of C33!

Wheels! They are SSR Reverse Mesh, in a square 15x9j -2 offset all around. Rather aggressive but fills the wells very nice.

Unfortunately it is chilling in the shop as the RB20 threw a rod, so I am swapping in a redtop SR20DET from a write off 91 RPS13 - basic bolt ons, T28 turbo, the usual fare. Should be nice and peaky for the C33.
