The beginning:

[TW]

Started about a week later with some light mods, to clean it up a bit.

I slapped a set of 18" tenzo R DC-5's on it, wrapped in falken 451 rubber.

i also added a new shift knob + replaced shift & hanfbrake boot cause the leather on them was finished.

oh yeah, and the ugly worn out blue suede on my seats was pissing me off, so i thought id have some fun with a little project.... :bigup:

i started by stripping the interior clean of all seating...




Then taped all the grey inserts up





And shot the blue with black duplicolor fabric paint. it turned out sweet.

FROM this:


To THIS:






It really is amazing what 50 bucks worth of spray cans can do !

[TW]

swapped the traditional gtr bug eye lights for some N1 syle lights...

i also spent some time cleaning up the engine bay

[TW]

took some pics of the car with the springs on, what a difference











My favorite

[TW]

And this was about when all hell broke loose. Engine started knocking, got it checked out... the result was a spun bearing. Hooray. time for this

[TW]

First off, heres my HKS hi power SILENT exhaust.

Judging by the size of it, i was doubtful of the silent part. turned out to be really quiet.



some other random goodies, Greddy rad pipe and boss kit.





Momo pilota steering wheel. Im still undecided about it.





NUR style alumium guage bezel. 10$! I LOVE EBAY!!!!




Nismo Solid short shifter.. i dont know what it is about nismo bozes but theyre so epic!!



Painted my valve cover and strut bar ends. I also have the black r34 coil cover ornament. The color faded though due to the heat so i will be powdercoating everything the same color as my new wheels when i get them (emotion xd-9s in bronze)





Thats all for now. Im just playing the waiting game now!


oh and some other things i forgot to take pictures of are:
Front + rear cusco strut bars,
rear cusco sway bar,
and some more but im tired and cant remember

[TW]

Here are some pics from Autoworx garage, haigs new location.

[TW]

I also put my new radio in. in wont make me go fast, but damn does it look good.

A buddy took some rolling shots during a cruise.. They turned out sweet!

Lovely
You did a great job man. Our cars are looking very much alike. I have the same exhaust and like you said, it is super silent for some reason. It sounds amazing in my opinion.
How did you get the lights on your cluster blue? it looks mad baller like that.

[xtremeimport7]

looks good man.

question regarding the lights...i notice a lot of people change them to the style you have...is this required? or do you all do it because you like the look/ the perform better?


ps that shop looks crazy, a lot of nice rides in there

[Joe Stefano]

nice car man! looking forward to seeing you at the track and at the skymeet on the 14th :P

theyre actually supposed to be white, Theyre White LEDs, but they look blue-ish. probably because htey were super cheap. I ordered new ones so well see.

As for the headlights, i just like the N1 style better

[SkyLizzle]

Very very sick build man, i agree on a set of bigger rims (or just better offset) but your car is looking mean clean and ready to be seen! Kudos to you Sir!! :drive:

Cheers~Dave
