  • Gnar33 Build

    Hey guys,

    the names Matt and I hail from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The story of my car is I bought it 2 summers ago basically bone stock with some old Rays wheels on it and then went heavy last year and started drifting. I didn't crash all season and then on my way to school one day...bam....stuffed a porsche doing like 15mph. On the bright side me and my buddy bought a smashed 33 the day before that we were parting out and then putting a KA into to make it a missile. Long story short we sold everything and I used the rad support from a spare clip we had to fix my car up.

    Current Specs:
    1994 R33 Gts25t M
    65,000 km on body and engine
    zero rust

    Engine:
    Stock Rb25det
    Apexi filter
    Samco rad hoses
    Water temp ****
    Nismo thermo
    2 stage boost removed for rb20 wastegate running the 10psi
    Some ebay silicon intake pipe

    Exhaust:
    3 inch elbow
    3 inch dp
    3 inch empty cat
    3.5inch - 4 inch HKS exhaust

    Suspension (What counts):
    PBM tension
    PBM toe
    PBM solid subframe bushings
    PBM RUCA
    Random JDM Traction rods
    Stance GR+ Pro coils
    Solid diff bushings
    S14 rear subframe because hicas is like being impotent

    Exterior:
    Type M body kit - All smashed
    OE Gtr bumper for smashing cones
    * PS Duce kit in a container OTW from Japan right now (Pics to follow)
    * Rear overs being ordered soonish
    Once kit arrives in may I'm having removable full tube front and rear crash bars fabbed with ducting in the front and a jack point in the rear
    Yahoo JP Roof Spoiler

    Interior:
    Sparco fixed bucket
    GTR passenger seat
    NRG short hub
    9K dildo shift knob
    Sparco safari wheel
    Drift button
    Edwin Delarosa bmx grip for the ebrake handle (Need to stick to my roots)
    Some USB deck so I can crank 3 inches of blood at the track
    * Currently stripped to the metal and being stitch welded

    Wheels:
    18x9.5 battles
    PBM spacers running different combos of slips depending on drift spares

    Now for the pictures in chronological order or awesomeness.

    When I got it:



    Wheels and such:




    And she gets driven hard and put away dirty:






    Here is the parts skyline we bought:


    Time to pull engine:




    Now in my buddies S14:


    After welding in a new shocktower and getting it ready for the KA we decided to fully part everything and use the money to make our cars better:



    Then I drove my car to school and did this...:





    Frame rails were straight on my car...the porsche not so much..As you can see, the 80's bumper nerfs ******* destroyed my car and barely did anything to the Porsche. Upon further inspection the kink is infront of the right rear fender, meaning I bent the frame good. Not to mention its rear engine so it literally shat its guts on the road afterwords.

    Long story short, here is where I'm at now:




    Just need to do a bit more welding, seam seal, and some POR 15 and I'll be laughing. Next year will be tube front end with tubs.

    The interior is further along than this picture but you get the idea:



    And here is some inspiration for this summer:
    The kit that's on it's way..

    With overs:



    Decided I'll be going with S14 overs that are trimmed to fit, because in all honesty, I give zero fucks about how pretty this is going to be. I want function and awesomeness
    *Example on Ryan Litteral's FD spec R33


    And the color it will be:




    ANYWAYS... Expect a ton of updates as I start to make some money and parts come in. Looking forward to shredding with you lads soon.

    Also here is my year end footage. It's all in chronological order from when I started drifting for the first time in June until my last shot of the season in August.


    Cheers,

    Matt

            love all the pics and so forth. i love seeing projects going well. i just need more money then ill have my build thread too! but you must be anxious to drift your baby again. and was it worth it taking out the sound deadoning un the front 2 seats? i havnt lifted my carpet, and im not sure if its worth it taking it out because i did my trunk, and back seat. but thats it so far.

              Lookin good man
              I got the same roof spoiler, what did you use to mount it?
              I noticed it rests on the rear glass and doesn't come into contact with the roof.
              Just concerned about 3m tape and it flying off on the highway

                    Traded some guy my stock mirrors and steering wheel for power Ganadors and a Sard swirl pot.





                    In other news, ordered:
                    - Greddy timing belt
                    - oem tensioner and pulley
                    - oem water pump

                    And the car is running chea. Tomorrow stitch welding commences as all sound deadening has been removed, what a waste of time ****.

                    Also here is what it'll look like soon (photoshop). Sorry to the haters but I love the s14 drift style, and this baby is getting the treatment. All I have left to buy in that picture is the grill, fmic, overs, and hood vent. The car will also just be all PPG grey. Not doing a gtr spoiler, looking for a flush mount one. Wheels come next year...

                      Wheels are 18x9.5 +15. Not sure what spacers I'm running or the tires at the point the picture was taken but I've aggressively pulled the front and rear fenders.
