My first JDM

[krystalized_jdm]

Exhaust studs were drilled out and token out with ease. Extremely happy about that.

One thing I will say about my car. Whoever did whatever they did last to the turbo are complete.... You know what. Turns out My exhaust manifold was missing Nuts + washers. They turbo also had two lose bolts on the manifold. (I had no idea)

Cars ALL fixed, brand new studs, new nuts for turbo. Everythings running VERY SMOOTH.

I did this with a buddy in a hurry to get it done. Didn't get any pictures.

Another thing, wow. I never imagined that turbo oil and coolant lines were that damn annoying to put on. Hopefully I don't have to touch them for a while!

is that kyle with the silver 32?

and nice man! some wheels and coilovers would make it look proper!

That was Kyles r32, I just met the guy that now owns it tonight here in Saskatoon.
Beautiful car, makes me miss mine a lot.


OP, you coming to cruise weekend? Landon said he had a few buddies in Regina (I think thats where it was anyways) coming down for it.

[krystalized_jdm]

Yes. Almost all of my car buddies are coming to saskatoon for it. He probably has buddies in regina coming. We're located in prince albert. Theres about 10-15 of us coming from PA.

Also, whats your name?

From what I know. (ive only known landon a monthish) he bought the car from regina about 5-6 weeks ago.

Yeah he did. I've seen it on kijiji and around here on the forum for a while now.

I'm Braden, I won't be making it to cruise weekend (in manitoba as of today).
I had a silver gts-t as well (sold last october, I have gone through one jdm wrx, and am on my second one now), and damn, after seeing his car I miss mine a lot now. My old car is actually up for sale on kijiji I noticed (although, worse shape than how it was when I sold it and higher km's). Very tempting to buy it back lol.

[krystalized_jdm]

Ah, yeah. I'm honestly thinking of buying another skyline. Preferably a GTR just to see how I like AWD and TT. My buddy took me for a rip in his USDM 300zx w/ a JDM TT swap. Dear god it was sick

Oh wow, I haven't updated this thread in forever.


Basic run down over the last while

Basic maintenance
- New alternator
- New starter
- New battery

Goodies
- Painted calipers
- New intake
- newish turbo timer (got a new one, and relocated it to underneath stereo in change compartment)
- ECU reader + ecutalk/nissandatascan (I love these programs, having current gauges on your pc + an error code on hand is awesome)


Here's some pictures I took today while doing my calipers


Cleaning them up for paint


All masked, almost ready!


First coat on!


Sanded the paint to show clean metal for the nissan sign


My rims are dirty, but here's how it looks


I also managed to find out the ticking sound when I drive.

Punctured tire = perfect way to ruin a good day.

^ Well said Sir.

[krystalized_jdm]

Going to the local canadian tire car meet in Prince Albert (can almost gaurantee I'll be the only RHD)

If anyone is coming (very much doubt it) let me know!

Here's some pictures that the car show photographer took
