whoah dayum. I didn't know he did nissans and toyotas. I only know of this one S15 but i thought it was a one-off.

What were you talking to him about? Him possibly doing some work on the 33?

Alright, so here's what I managed to do today.

I put a caliper on my wife while she was sleeping.

I made some new rims.

I took off one of the stock brake assemblies to test fit the new ones. I bent the dust plate out of the way, but I'll trim it down when final install happens.

Test fit to make sure the brackets are the correct ones with the kit. It was shipped with a 350Z installation guide, which worried me.

That's all for now, will have installed within the week I reckon. Still trying to figure out how I can never go to work ever again.

whats the go with Nakai-San possibly working on the 'line?

The long answer was that it would be a MINIMUM of 6 months turnaround, and the short answer was "buy a porsche" haha. I can't give the car up for over 6 months right now. He said that he would love to do it though!

hahahaha. Maybe you should look into a 964 to have him work on.

how do i subscribe to these things?

awesome thread is awesome, you really seem to be living the dream Collen (is that a made up name or what?) except for when your burgled or the local Nuclear power plant melts down that is..

dammit! i thought he was back.

If you ever end up reading this "Collen", i posted up a pic of your car on my tumblr and 1100 odd reblogs later, someone came back saying they're stationed at the same base as you. small world hey?

he also mentioned some of the sharpies starting to wear out in parts :(

HEY, That is my real name, given at birth. f*kushima really does suck.. I missed out on Skyline week because I am just not going to drive through there. F that. I know people that go down to f*kushima and race at Ebisu Circuit.. i just scratched it off my list completely.

post up the link!! It's not wearing out except on the top.. I never cleared the top because I always meant to add color first.. the sun has faded it some, but without any UV protection in the markers, it has been holding up amazingly well. I like the "Collen" thing.. It's my real name!?? !

+1 we need an update man.

Here is the update. Just bought some TE37 FZero Blues in 18x10.5 +15 as well as some Hankook 285/35/18s all the way around. Currently the car has been transformed into a factory stock R33 for out 2 year "JCI" or Shaken process.. I decided to keep it road registered as long as I could.! Pics to follow when I get the rims in the mail.

YAY! he's back! good to hear from you, try not to leave us for so long again.

Sorry lost the link to the guy who's stationed at your base.

Love the wheels, are still planning to turn this into a dedicated track car?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
