Shakotan S30 - Dopest Shit Ever.

[MrFixIt]

Not gonna lie, I've been fapping to this car for a solid week.

I realize that this car is kind of a love-it-or-hate-it kinda thing, but to me, the way it sits right now is perfect. The exposed weld-burn-marks-whatever (Don't know jack about welding), the mis-matched front fender, the rust, the camber, the stretch, the large(er) fasteners (rivits?) on the overs, the height, the removed rear bumper, everything.

Not to nut-swing or anything, but I can confidently say this is the best looking Nissan/Datsun I've ever seen. Period.

Please don't paint it :P

[spooled240]

i love the way the car sits now even with the surface rusted hood and the beat up paint lol

but a fresh silver paint job would look good on black tho, yum

[Okinawandrifter87]

Loving it!!! Keep up the good work!

[eddieflo]

My FAVORITE Z's

[BustedS13]

sad to see a cool car turned into some rusted out lowrider hunk of fuck
that seriously looks fucking awful.

[J ROK]

what type of suspension?

the stance is what wet dreams are made of.

[Xbroke_kidX]

oh no a car that doesnt have perfect body and paint, that must ruin every other aspect of the car.....
dont paint it leave it exactly how it is please

[twotoes]

yeah that shits sick.

some of yall need to get down with the sickness

^^ oh yeah thats right, I went there.

[drftem]

[hOngsterr]

pros (for you, not me):
-it's done out all "hoodride"
-it has a subway thing hanging on it
-DOPE FITMENT YO

cons:
-it isn't properly painted, so yes, eventually rust will ruin every other aspect of the car
-it probably already IS a pile of rust underneath
-it has some jank jerry rigged stock l24, whoop dee fuck
-it looks like shit

[Royal_T]

hoodride? sorry i missed the donk wheels and wistle tips, who gives a rats ass about the subway handle? yes the fitment is spot on. really jerry rigged? have you inspected the car? Im sorry it doesnt reach your amazing standards you must have a really amazing car. So go hard park at starbucks and have fun.

i thought you of all people would read the majority of a thread before posting in it. but for my own sake i would like to once again state that this car is not done by any means, it will be painted, it will have a different engine, and as i am doing all the work i can assure you that everything will be done properly. also, i would like to share with you that the car has very little rust, the interior is why i bought the car - the paint under the carpet is perfect. I tend to not care much of what others think of my cars, and if i had meant for this to be the final product of the car i totally wouldnt care about what others said, however i'm slightly irritated that ignorance has caused people to assume that because the car has been featured on multiple publications this is how it is going to look forever (until of course it rusts into dust) and that i have owned it for longer than half a year after buying it bone stock.

anyhow, thanks for all the compliments gentlemen!

oh speedhunters is also doing a feature on it as well so check that out soon!

[ThatGuy]

I think that is the overall problem Yuta.

You have the "Boso Beater Bandwagon" members that are touting your vehicles current condition as the their holy grail...

At the same time you have the "More Conservative Minded" members that are trying to express their interest in seeing the car FINISHED...

I don't think either are necessarily attacking you, or your car, as much as they are attacking each other's points of view.

The main point everyone is missing here is...

THIS IS NOT THE CARS FINISHED STATE.
IT WILL NOT CONTINUE TO LOOK THE WAY IT DOES IN THESE ARTICLES.

Essentially, it is "The Media's" fault for hyping your car and giving it so much coverage, before you are done with it. But I understand their interest in doing so, as it is outside of the mainstream norm for this chassis.

Good luck with the build Yuta.

This:




was one of my favorite Z cars from the Street Life Tour this summer, unfortunately my shitty video footage doesn't do it Justice.. Personally I prefer the molded fenders, but whatever.. I hope yours ends up being of the same caliber some day.

CAR FEATURE>> THAT 240Z - Speedhunters

BOUT TIME

[Touge Noob S13]

Well in its present shape, the car is HYPED and looks like shit IMO. Hopefully it will be painted soon. Now all the cheap 240SX owners with multicolor/rattle can flatblack paint jobs and knock off parts are going to think its alright to rock rust.

[yarou]

It's hyped, yeah, it's also super super unfinished, yeah. A lot of people think that it's finished and the rust was intentional for some reason

[ESmorz]

Congrats on all the coverage Yuta, even if it is premature to what I'm sure is going to drop jaws in the future.

Maybe when you are back down this way some day we will have a Datsun-off.

[Xbroke_kidX]

agree'd congrats on all the coverage.
the car is pretty cool now, i guess if you like your car how it is or unfinished cars your a boso beater bandagoner and swing on everyones nuts with one.

im sure the car will only get better from here so good luck!!
when i first heard about this project and you saying it would be as low as your 13 i wasnt so sure but you deffinatly pulled that off lol

[drftem]

I am in love except for one thing. I am now gunna be considered as following your style. I bought my 260z a month ago with the plans to build it similar. My project is going verry slow.I wanna be that low but with stock fenders no flares for me.

theres almost always going to be someone before you that did what you want or plan to do. Just do what you want and build your car how you like

[drftem]

Oh this isnt gunna stop me. Im just saying its sick to see someone else doing the same thing.

[YoungGun]

So many haters, shit.

Haters post your POS cars in here, they'll never be at this cars level, even in its current state.

[ayuaddict]

thanks!

yea i am pretty happy about the speedhunters article, the photos came out really nice!

Edit: figured it out. If you guys have any simple technical questions you should read the link.

By the way, the car's my desktop background and I'm looking into switching over from s chassis to an s30.

2k paint job or not, this car is going to make news.

[speedfiend]

Man it is amazing how hard it is for some people to thoroughly read things before they post. Nothing like trying to kill someones desire and dreams.

Personally I think the car looks great in its current state, with the understanding that it is still A WORK IN PROGRESS. Your attention to details are great and Im sure this build is going to live up to the current hype the car has already seen. Keep up the excellent work man and ignore the haters.

Oh and also is there anyway I can get a wallpaper version of the pic with you on the side of the road and the cloud line in the background? I love that pic.
