[CircusMonkey]

Good to hear you have some plans for the cars.

[West]

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.

[funkymonkey]

Who's banned????

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 ride:

Looking good Rezz...see you are still having fun even if not in Japan

Can't wait to see the finished car! B)

[Rezz]

Thanks Dino! Coming from you mate thats a huge compliment 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...

[Laurence]

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)

[CircusMonkey]

Looking very good.

I see the garagealso have all the right stuff:

Big desk and chair for the boss.

Arcade cabinet.

[Rezz]

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).

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

The enlarged front 'mouth' gives the whole R32 'face' a real 'Whaleshark-like' eerm... 'expression'... must hard being an art critic 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.

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:

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:

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

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.

Hehehe, thats 1 dirty RB26DETT!

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

Cheers

JUst a very minor update... new tail lights:

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:
