    Ive seen this car popping up everywhere lately. So good man, probably one of my favorite cars on here. I like super simple builds like this. Makes me miss my 180sx.

    Cheers man :) iv done them big builds and found myself grow fed up of not having a car to drive so with this i had a style in mind and just mainly focused on styling Instead of swapping out the engine Ect all that will come in time once i get comfertable behind the wheel again

    usual rate for a gtr front bumper is about £400 from what i have seen the bumper i have i got from japan frp replica fits pritty good think it was ¥20,000 before delivery so wasnt to bad
    I have a genuine one here that i just need to fix up and fit in time

    Had forgot about this so time for an update i suppose :)

    After alot of debating about engine choice and what to do iv decide to keep it exactly how i want it and stick with N/A

    So recently i have picked up a pretty fresh rb25de and have also located a rb26 cylinder head

    plan is to send off head to get work done as the front passenger water jacket doesnt line up with so needs to be machined next issue iv found is rb26 head studs are 12mm and rb25 only use 11mm so will also sort this issue

    i will also skim the head as much as i can and add a thin MHG now im no wiss at this but have alot of help from a friend that knows rb's pretty well so we are gradually learning as we go on :D

    idea of useing the 26 head is pretty simple really as it comes with solid lifters and itbs standard

    Who doesnt love a screaming N/A on ITB's :D

    Since iv been gathering engine parts iv just been getting some driving in no track days really just a local touge road witch is quite fun

    Absolutely love this car and what it stands for (cheap, reliable drifting etc), keen to see it on the floor with the Grenades fitted but not sure how I feel about it going red. Guessing you're going for roughly this sort of style?

    Bingo :) Doriten r32 has been the route iv wanted to go ever since i had my first r32 but never got around to it so now is the time in my opinion it is my ideal r32 and i know i will enjoy everything about it :)

    put some tyres on the 18s while i await the arrival of a full set of chrome 17x9+15 gx01 :D

    rear suspension still needs aligning and i may be able to run a smaller spacer but pretty happy with this fitment

    This is perfection as it is mate. Nice work.

    Make it cool and simple and go skidding, such a simple formula that is easily forgotten
