Car just rolled in today! Aero is a bit rough and will need fixing, wheels are still on the way.

It runs and drives 110%. Just had to fix a misc. vacuum hose that came off for whatever reason. I REALLY like the torque compared to my old SR20 with cams on it.

I'll take some better pics once it stops raining in this shithole.

Oops, meant to post this in sedan life

Can a mod please move it? Thanks.

Cleaned the car and went out to take some pictures with my buddy and his R33

Very Very nice. When my parents become offical snowbirds (step-mom is from Quebec) I will trick them into getting something cool to bring down for the winter months : P

[Ninjabread]

So my wheels are now in BC, should see them in 10 days or less.

Today is nice out, so i decided to take the day off work since I did nearly 70 hours this week. Took the aero off my car to start fixing it and get it ready for paint.



This is all the bondo/ metal plates/ tape that came off



Found some cools in my aero!



And a bit less cool, but still nice none-the less



Going to Crappy pneu to pick up an FG repair kit and I'm gonna start the daunting task of fixing the million shits of bits that came off.

Oh yea, and when I was jacking my car up, I saw something tucked under the passenger seat. Pulled it out: A box with a whole shitload of random stuff in it...



Can anyone translate japanese?






I also took pics of the rear suspension arms to compare to US spec Toyota's like the is300 and Cressida to see what kind of suspension arms might fit...

[Ninjabread]

Nahhhhh. I'm getting full BN later on. Full bumpers and stuff, but I'm broke so right now I'll just rock this mis match stuff lol.

hmm, hte rear suspension looks way WAY closer (but not the same) as an mx83 or jzx81, the rear lower and upper control arms are absolutely nothing like IS300 arms.

cool pics though, that rear swaybar looks real beefy too. nice. stock mx83 is only 10mm in the back.

[rayray]

ya, the rear shock mounts to the lca on the IS300.


as for the japanese letter, it says the car was in a horrible accident, frame is toast, and 3 people died in the vehicle. says, wish you luck to the new owner of vehicle.





























daaaah just kidding (:

[Ninjabread]

Man, it's a shame that the arms aren't the same as anything here.

Guess I'll have to spend the loot if I can't get my alignment up to what I want it.

[Zale]

Hopefully your rear brakes dont need to be done either, those were an expensive whore to source from Japan.

[Mats]

rear brakes or rear brake pads?

i got hawk HP + equivalent pads all around for $100usd from JPN.


Matt pretty sick stuff. Just got word that Derrick wont be coming over tonight to help me out so i might stick in town a lil later if you want help with FG work.

i'll text you

[Zale]

No, not pads, I mean drums. Was such a hassle. And now my battery is dead '

[Ninjabread]

Nope mine lock up very good!

Either way, id probably get thoe projectMu pads to put in there. I heard they last a long long time anyway so they are worth the loot.

[Mats]

yeah ill have to look at mine...not sure what i have in the ebrake drum but holy shit it locks up INSANE! so much that first time at the track i did full 180 before i knew what was happening.

[Ninjabread]

1/2 my wheels came in today, the other 2 are still in BC.







Don't mind the ride height, i gotta fuck these coil overs up to go lower. It will be low in typical matt fashion like my s13 was.

[huckersideways]

I love those wheels. Whats the sizing?

[Ninjabread]

18x9 +21 R disk (shitty but wtv)
18x10 +33 O disk

I'm running 5mm slip ons all around so offets are +16 and +28.

[huckersideways]

Decent enough for stock body I can only assume. If 90's fit wheels similar to 81's shit should be pretty frush.

[N.O. Drifter]
