The R32 that tries to fit in

Wooo! Build thread!

I'll make this a quickie, so we don't get bored.

I purchased this car back in October 2016 for $5000 (High five for cheap prices back then). Very clean paint. LP2 Midnight purps. Came with sick goodies like a rare tomei short shifter, nismo twin plate, 2 piece project MU brake rotors, tein lowering springs, super clean bride brix. Whoever owned this in japan liked it. Only had 50K miles and only thing that was wrong with it was the clutch pivot ball snapped. I pulled the trans while the car was on the trailer same day, replaced it and boom drove it off the trailer. This car probably had the healthiest rb20 on earth

Slapped some Stance XR1s and Works and went to usair

Which not even a year later i blew the tranny (Hehe) first lap at the event. Decided to just throw my 1J in it thats been sitting in the corner of my garage hiding from my landlord (He was very adamant on not doing any car work on his property that he even made me sign something saying i wouldn't but i still did f him) rather than getting another rb20 trans

Revgasms old 1J ^ Still vroomvrooming and going strong

Swap was pretty straight forward using all S13 mount kits and changing the crossmember to an s13 one and a few extra steps to make her work. Kept the s13 wiring specialties engine harness cus found out all i needed was the $100 interface harness to make it compatible with R chassis rather than spending another $900 on a new one.

Got a origin kit and some 17x9+22 blitz 03s shipped for $1800

Lets skip a bunch of phases and fast forward 6 yrs. Lots of street driving and some ddays later I blow my clutch 2022, and decided to refresh the whole motor and repaint the car (Just me with impulsive decisions of doing a bunch of other things instead of simply fixing the one broken thing.)

Cleaned her up as much as impatiently could. Head deacked. Replaced about every gasket and rubber hoses. OEM headgasket. OEM everything. All the boring stuff.

As far as asthetic changes, I chose the color of my dads sports car when i was 8yrs old. Went monoblock and got some 18X9 +20 model 6s (Looking for a 10J pair btw) And went out of my comfort zone and got a GT wing. (Koguchi power 1550mm)
