I originally had bought it/built it to be a car that would always be clean that I wouldn't mess up.240lookis wrote:bummer that your clean hatch is gettin beat, but whatever, the fun of it all is worth it.
So damn true. I'm coming more and more to this realization. Bummer on the wheel(s). Did you catch traction and get pulled in? Hope you get it back on the road soon!S13Teddy wrote: But I got over that really fast and decided, why the hell would I have this car that is totally capable of drifting and looking awesome at the same time, just to have it sit pretty in my god damned driveway? That's pointless and worthless.
I was trying to use a shallower line to catch up to Nieko because I wanted to ride his door, but I went too far inside. I tried ripping the ebrake to slide me back out but it didn't lock up and the car understeered up into the guard rail.s13_chris wrote:So damn true. I'm coming more and more to this realization.

Well for now these wheels are getting fixed, but eventually the VS-KFs will be migrating onto the S13 and the Skyline will be getting something else. Won't be for a while though.feoo wrote:next wheel choice?
Any more info? Maybe a build thread?S13Teddy wrote:
Christian - Yeah it's a Cressida with a Chaser front. It just got a 1JZ recently, I can't wait to see it back out on the road.
seriously you typed a whole paragraph to tell me you have the best diff available? lol good stuff man, thanks for the ???history??? lol ps i met you at the last ZOMGBBQ that was funS13Teddy wrote:Even if I told you what kind off differential it is, you wouldn't know what it was or even how to begin understanding how it works. It's a special type of differential modification method that was developed in Europe and the Middle East and I had the privilege of being able to test out this technology in my car. It works miracles, really. I can spin the wheels with no problem whatsoever, even with my stock KA. It's been more or less on the market for quite some time, but people really underestimate its ability.
The technology was developed by research engineers in the Middle Ages.
It is known as welding.
Cool build. Weird how an R32 lip fits a Jzx bumper.
Pages 40 41 42 are full of info on the grey car... I believe it's called a R32 Skyline in japan. But it doesn't fit in in this country cause those are too fast for american safety standards LMAO. It jumped the boarder. I don't think it'll ever have a green card... haha.Papadirty wrote:Teddy: New to this whole import thing and 240SX deal. What kinda car is the grey / black one with 4 doors, I've look threw this thread but I can't find it in the 43 pages haha. Any suggestions for someone just starting and looking for a 240sx? Sorry for being such a tool/noob. Just want to get all the info before I drop money on a car, being in trade school isnt easy on money, let alone trying to build a car on the side.
No, the car I was originally going to buy was going to jump border from Canada. This is a completely different car and did no such thing. It was already imported into the States years ago from Japan.rsmithdrift wrote:It jumped the boarder. I don't think it'll ever have a green card... haha.
If you live in Canada, then you're looking for the wrong car. A 240sx isn't what you want. You want a 180sx, considering they're legal in Canada (right? Haha) and are a much better platform to begin with.Papadirty wrote:The rambling is good. I need to know all I can. My plans for a 240SX would be buy one and drive it back to my home in Labrador Canada in April and start small, exhaust CAI coilovers and such. Then once I finish school really put money into the car, there is a HUGE lack of race tracks up here in Canada. So I don't think the car would see much racing if any at all. So I'm more or less after a car I can DD and drift on the street here and there. I've never put anything sideways on pavement but I can hold a silverado sideways for days on ice
I've read most of your thread but of course I haven't got to the part about it being a skyline, didn't know they came in 4 door and I might have fallen in love a little bit.
