WekFest III is gearing up to take San Francisco by storm. The event is a celebration of Japanese automobiles and it kicks off at 1pm on February 20th, 2011. Last year, over 450 vehicles showed up, and this year should be no different. But there is one machine in particular that we're very interested in.

Fatlace, a boutique clothing store, is bringing along a stock 1974 Nissan Skyline 2000GT. The car will be shown off, then taken back into hiding to be transformed into the car you see pictured above... then given away to one lucky (LUCKY) winner.

Fatlace, thanks to the design work of the talented Mr. Jon Sibal, has a stylish end-goal for the Skyline. The car will be modified over the course of 2011 and presented to the winner at the Fatlace Klassik in October. We fully expect a ride.

woah woah woah back it up.... i just realised who said that...

dood you are the LAST person that should be whinging about stickers on cars! ;)

i've seen fast and furious MOVIES that have had less stickers than your last car!

my comment is not about the car having a sticker on it... it's about those bullshit fatlace/illest/canibeat/hellafag stickers tryhards put on their car.

it's just my opinion hamish, deal with it. ;)

pity about the gay fatlace sticker.

True man!

I see where your coming from...

The cars are great but the stickers can really spoil the look of it.

Considering that is the only sticker they put on it for giving me a modified 2000GT....I think I can let it slide, hey I wont even take it off when I win the damn thing!

Hey you guys cant deny it. Its fawkin hawt!

EDIT: Never even heard of the company before, so i looked it up....anyone else reminded of anything when you look at the logo?

I don't get it... it's just a 2000GT-X with bolt ons. There's much more hotter ones running around in japan, that were modded in similar fashion 20 years ago by dudes who now have grandkids.

Put it this way, no one gives a shit if you own a hardtop 6 banger mustang. If you're gonna own a piece of history, you might as well make sure you get the one everyone remembers.

Let's revisit this when it's a real 2000GT-R with a real S20 engine shall we?

Americans make Ken & Mary cry.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
