Anywho, have been bouncing around from car to car recently. Started my love for nissan's with my first S13 hatch I got out of high school. Got tired of all the quarks of that KA and swapped a CA18DET into it. Drove the hell out of that thing and loved it for almost 2 years. After 2 years (on a 20 year old engine) it needed some upkeep so I purchased a 03 6spd G35 (dec 2008 IIRC) with ~50k on the clock. Driving a car that now had all kinds of creature comforts and little things like AC really made the S13 just a paper wait. After owning the G a year I sold that car.
bought a new house in 2011 and got married to a mazda guy. We bought a 92 5spd ranger for a beater and to do things around the house for $600 bucks and that became my daily. I worked at a mall and didn't like the random door dings and BS that came with working at a mall. Fall 2012 I got offered a big fancy job ~20 miles away from the house and down the block from my husband. It is now $52 bucks a week to park downtown and hell to deal with people in a parking garage so we commute together (great for gas too). Jan 2013 the G had only seen 200 miles in the last year and 1/2 and it really wasn't moving, but the 2003 mazda 6 my husband drives was not as comfortable as it once was with all the suspension work and driving downtown with cobble stone. the G still owed a little on it so it was more logical to trade that in, I was upset, but the deal was I could get a new car we would pay cash for after selling the parts off the G.
Spent about 3 months digging and finding that 240s were stupid expensive and thrashed for the most part in town. Husband posted a WTB on one of the local boards just out of a "you never know" kind of deals and found someone willing to sell us not 1, but 2 RUNNING 5SPD COUPES for $3k (along with a s*** load of other parts). All they needed was batteries and some love as they had sat outside. Drove 60 miles out to the coast and bought both of them and drove them back 2 days later. Spent a few dollars (maybe $150 total) and sold the gold one for the cost of both cars to the first person who saw it. The paint wasn't horrible after a wash, and my now red coupe looked really good after about 6 coats of wax and polish. had a little fun with them and the pictures below will show where that went
recently sold the Red coupe for $5k with all the mods and little driving I did of it(parts paid for by selling parts from the original 3k investment), and now I wait....... 7-1-89 my Black R32 will be legal to pass through customs and I will be able to enjoy my R32 GTS-T. the cost for it was cheaper than what a swap and mods to my S13 would have cost just to go RB, so it was kind of a no brainer....alright, so onto the pictures......
92 hatch 5spd(Owned for a ~3 years)
03 G35 (owned for ~4 years)
92 ranger 5spd (still have)
how it looked (dec 22 last year)
(what my husband and father did to it 2 days later)
93 gold coupe 5spd(owned for ~2 weeks)
93 Red Coupe 5spd(owned for ~9 months)
89 R32 GTS-T 5spd(got a wait till july to have... Rivsu Imports is importing it for me)
paint will be done before it ships. Once it gets here there are definitely some stuff that needs to be cleaned up. In the mean time I will continue to stock pile parts as I try my best to be patient.
So Anway, Just saying whats up. Been a while since I have posted on here. going to start doing some reading on the RB pages and the skyline pages.
