Hahahah I was looking at the car port and was like damn that looks really fucking familiar. Wait that's the Hansen fucking hobby shop. With my old battalion HQ in the background. Better dead than 3rd med. With the Palms next to it. Does fat Chris and Richard still work over at the hobby shop?

Your build looks sick....

GL with it man.

Chris went back to the states a while back like a long while, but we are pretty good friends and stay in touch. Richard is runninghis own shop out in town now.

So i take it this is a drag car since you completely destroyed the squish area on the head?

Props on the build though. very nice. Personally I would have replaced the sheet metal with new pieces instead of adding weight with filler.

The flares allow for the wider wheels and the vertical travel of those wheels. They will be covered by the wide body kit, I could not cut the fenders because inspection regs in Japan do not allow it.

I did sheet metal but it turned out wrong so I removed it. That is fiberglass, not solid filler so the weight difference is trivial at best and makes no difference. The sheet metal blocked certain holoes that were in close interval to the headlight cradle. The fiberglass was easily contoured and blended to work with that obstacle.



Destroyed squish???? Are you nuts? That was done by Nagoya Precision with a tried and proven CNC program. But yes this car is meant to go fast and maintain high RPM, Drag would be cool but I ma thinking more along the lines of Silver State Classic.

Removing the Quench zone (as you guys call it, the "squish area") allows for easier sweep through cycle. Yes, alot of drag racers fuck with that area of the head. BUT, they also do alot more than just remove the quench zone (they also add material to divorce the valves). If you ever go to the funny car or rai lcar races, you will see, that they always hide the heads or cover them with towels. They are quite secret and make a huge difference in the way a car performs, yes, maybe its only an extra 60 hp on a 3,000 hp motor... but ... wouldn't that still be "an edge"? (rhetorical)

My KAT s14 is a drift car. It has the quench zones removed. (it also has 10.14 : 1 compression YIKES!!!)... it works just fine!

either way, nice build

your build is really something we can all admire.

most of us..when we first get a car, dream up all these ideas on what modifications we want to perform. a good amount of them never get the chance to become reality.

you, are living that dream.

I was thinking the same thing when I looked at the title before I opened it.

Not Really. It looked like shit. I picked it up from a garage out in town without a motor and drive train (pretty much a rolling chasis) it had faded ass paint and four different shocks and springs (stock, tein, some off brand and an HKS if I remember correctly) we put it on four donuts and trucked it to the garage with the GTR rear end that will be put in it. Once I got to the garage I stripped the remaining of the car down and got started so the crap condition of the exterior did not do it any further injustice. To my surprise there was very little rust to deal with which made my life easy enough.

Oh Duh You are talking about what it looked like when Stock Garage had it. It was a really nice car back then.

Then Michiya got his hands on it and voila!!! EL POS Express.
