My Skyrine

[AndrewJZX100]

It did look fair tough in real life, but white was always the plan so I painted it up and cleared it today, so now the wing and lip are ready to go, but I reckon I'll hold off on mounting them properly until I at least get some rims.

One more pic just before I took it off.

UPDATE

Stacked it now looking for tail lights and a rear bumper

And so begins it's life as a track car

[rhys5169]

did this used to park on currie street, at that tyre shop???? if so was the best looking 4 door ive ever seen

[AndrewJZX100]

Maybe. 2 of the blokes at Adelaide Tyrepower had matching 4 doors, this was one. It did look fking tough with the Weds meshies it was sporting back in the day. Doesn't look so crash hot now though

Not gonna bother fixing it either, just gonna track it and thrash the crap out of it It has a fair bit of rust that was hidden before, so it's no great loss of a shell really.

[rhys5169]

lol yeh cant say i saw the 2 together but there was a white w/black roof 4 door that looked tops there

Hearing this makes josh sad in the pants.

Yeah it's a shame I won't have anything decent to drive on the road anymore, but it's probably gonna keep my licence safe

Look for a munted 32 4door at an upcoming Lala prac day

[AndrewJZX100]

Well I pulled the back out a little bit today with the aid of a tow rope + the cressida (ghetto style is how I roll). I can fit a tail light in there now and can almost fit the bumper back up so thats forward progress I spose.

And I also got bored so decided to chuck the lip on all painted. I reckon it looks aight (save for the fact it desperately needs wheels)

[Lock_to_lock]

some deep dish 16in meshies would look dope. Fix it properly, its a nice car. don't let it go to waste

[AndrewJZX100]

Progress

[Lock_to_lock]

haha thats not too bad.

[AndrewJZX100]

WOO WOO exhaust is fixed with a Blitz Nur Spec :D with the silencer in, it's fkn quiet as a mouse. No more waking the neighbours when I get home from work at like 3 - 4 in the morning

Reo is a wee bit closer to being aligned too, little more bashing to be done

[AndrewJZX100]

tail lights sourced - minty fresh series 2 items for $65 each thank you very much

Also grabbed some alloy cradle lock spacers and steering lock spacers. Solid cradle and more lock shall be FTW when I get around to fitting them

Will take a heat gun to the bar later on and see if I can get it back to normal shape (or close enough to)

Getting there

whats the diff between series 1 and 2 tailights? thought they were the same?

[AndrewJZX100]

Series 2 look ever so slightly different, in that they have reflectors in the middle of the hotplate bits and a horizontal crease line that lines up with the bottom of the boot/top of rear bar. I reckon they look a little nicer then the earlier tail lights.

I forgot to mention before, my SSRs rocked up too 16 x 8 +20. Fitted on the front with a 20mm spacer to clear the brakes should look pretty tough, but I'll do that when the 16 x 9 +16s I just bought arrive. Until then they are rears (will use aformentioned 20 mm spacer on the front with my 16 x 8 +38 Watanabes)

I've also come across some Fabulous (brand) rims available in 16inch with widths up to 10j and offsets that go right down to -31

If the 9j I've just bought fit well on the front, I'll go 10j +12 on the rear

pics pics pics.

Just wondering, why did you sell your jzx100? I was thinking of getting one in the future.

[AndrewJZX100]

Just wondering, why did you sell your jzx100?

Because I am a f**king idiot

No seriously, get one. Nothing will seem as good any more (hence why I have absolutely no problem throwing the 32 into a cliff, it's only skyline junk to me)

I'd get another one but I'm trying to slow down spending on cars (modding them is pretty exxy).
