Theres some BIG THINGS planned for the wine red R32... it'll be ready by February and I'll post up some pics from December through till then.

RB25DET conversion

HKS 3037 turbine

stainless high mount ex manifold

Hotbitz Coilovers

GReddy intake manifold (or surge tank in Japanese ;) )

19x8.5 and 9.5 dished alloy wheels

Vertex side skirts and rear bumper modified

Stainless cat-back exhaust (yet to decide maker)

Candy apple red paint

Big ass vented bonnet

etc...

The S13 will get the donor RB20DET... woohoo!!! The wine red R32's spirit will live on in the S13. The S13 will get:

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

haha... I'll just post up before and after pics of the S13... wait and see :P

Uganda, it's a country in Eastern Africa, west of Kenya. I heard Rezz was there as their import scene is pretty much untapped atm. It's a big opportunity to cash in before all the major players get there.

and rezz, i beleive it was shan, the original MONKEY f**kER!!!

I thought they have a never ending civil war over there in africa but then i guess things are getting better.

yeah they have had their problems in the past but their GTR tuning scene is really starting to take off.

Just a smallish update, here's a pic of the Skyline today with Vertex rear bumper and sideskirts, modified front bumper for big intercooler 'mouth', Hotbitz coilovers (not adjusted for correct height yet), and 19x9.5 +20 offset Starcorp Impul deep dish wheels with 235/35-19 tires for that stretched look. The fron wheels have 15mm spacers on and even then the wheel spokes just *barely* miss the calipers by a millimeter or two. 10mm spacers will go on the back for... eeerm... "effect".

As it is, we've had one bloke come in - with the car outside TKO Tinting (926 Albany Highway East Victoria Park - PLUG!!! :() for all of 3 hours - saying that he's gonna buy the exact same wheels... the cars not even finished yet :lol:

It's not everyday that you see 9.5" wheels with 15mm spacers on the front of a GTS-t Type M, but I guess 5 years of Japanese tuning styles being rammed down my throat it kinda influences you. In the next few weeks the Type M will get heaps of negative camber, a generous 40mm to 50mm slamming, a full respray and PLENTY of underbonnet mods. Will post up more as it happens.

My old :blink: ride:

Thanks Dino! Coming from you mate thats a huge compliment :blink: especially as the car looks like a prop from Mad Max 3... To be honest, I NEVER even thought the R32 would get this far... and the S13 Silvia will be an even bigger tranformation. But I'm not gonna post up anything about that yet... :(

Looks like a very good start!

You need to show these Aussies how to do offset J-style!!!

I lowered my car more and put on some bigger spacers!

But still it is not enough!!!!

Did you see that HPI v10 has the video we took at Central Circuit!

It will be nice when I get paid for it... ;)

Anyway, it is starting to snow! I think avoiding a Japanese winter

was very good idea on your part!

I can't wait to see what madness is in store for the S13! B)

Some more pics of the R32:

The rear track will be widened by 10mm or more to be even with the front, we don't wanna do that until she's ready to be painted (with the rear guards rolled and slightly flared).

dc72518f.jpg

Regardless what anyone says :), the front wheels are perfectly offset outwards :P

The enlarged front 'mouth' gives the whole R32 'face' a real 'Whaleshark-like' eerm... 'expression'... must hard being an art critic :D Fibervision here in Perth have made a custom surround to go around the intercooler mouth to cover up the gaps and what have you. It's still at Fibervision getting cleaned up.

The rear bumper will be modified to feature a proper diffuser a la SuperGT. Of course all this work will be color coded in deep Mitsubishi 380 'Molten' redish-gold, with super gloss black wheels, mirrors, diffuser, front splitters etc.

This is the engine finally coming out of the S13:

Heres 'Banga' (local Perth Cefiro drifter boy) surveying the up until now GHEY engine bay. The old CA18DE was in *very* good condition wear-wise, but was suffering problems with ignition modules and A/F meters... CA's usually have this problem as now they're geting into the 'ancient' category.

Undoing the driveshaft.

Watching Banga ever so carefully remove the engine and gearbox with a forklift was awesome. At first I thought they were gonna remove it from underneath the car, but after seeing it done this way, it seemed easier.

justin55022.jpg

The whole thing was out in under an hour... top job guys! The engine and gearbox sold that very night for A$500.

Heres something that you don't see every day! While the guys were pulling the engine from the Silvia, we walked around AGI Automotive and found this:

justin55029.jpg

A Nissan Patrol Race 'Car'. It contests dirt trials, and if you look veery closely, you can juuuust make out something extreeeeemly out o0f place:

justin55027.jpg

GOOD son of rajab IT'S AN RB26DETT!!! With 350hp at the wheels no less. More on this ride later.

justin55013.jpg

One more pic from our workshop (the Aussies here might see the irony), we had a Ford Falcon GT ute and a HSV Maloo R8 ute in our shop at the same time... I actually got to drive the R8 (with the 6.0 Gen IV) and holy shit... the girls got some balls. I'm no convert, but the VZ 6.0 Gen IV HSV's are the pick of the Holden bunch without question.

Edited by Rezz

Hehehe, thats 1 dirty RB26DETT!

Good luck with your two project cars! Sounds awesome fun to do 2 projects at same time.

Cheers

And it's not a Skyline... hell it isn't even a Nissan, but my other brother from the same mother just bought a CC Lancer GSR from Sydney and drove it all the way to Perth, thats 4000k's... it's another project car, so we'll have 3 cars getting pretty extensive mods. The Lancer has 11 second quarters as a goal:

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out.
