All I did last year was Proving Grounds/ Drift Days at USair and Final Bout. Planning on traveling a bit more this coming season though. Also thanks.

Thanks dude, Dirty Love runs the drifting events for Proving Grounds so 99% sure I'll be there. Cool photos, too bad most my aero got trashed before the event even really got going haha

Nissansota240 · 01-23-2015, 01:37 PM

The racetrack that we do a drifting demo for put some of the footage from the demo together for a short video.

Nissansota240 · 02-03-2015, 09:01 AM

Not an update for my 2015 car build, which honestly wont even be that much. I was pretty happy with the way the car was at the end of last year that I havn't felt to motivated to upgrade much on it.

So instead we have been spending time upgrading things at the shop. Making progress on turning it into a place that had poor lighting and extension cords running everywhere to a much more user friendly space.

Currently getting further in the progress of building are paint booth/ loft. The plan is to have 8 fixtures mounted to the sides of the loft and 8 across the top. Slow progress, but progress none the less.

Nissansota240 · 02-16-2015, 11:13 AM

Booth is coming along, almost have everything to complete it

Total of x8 - T12 Dual Fixtures mounted on the sides, and x6 - T8 Dual Fixtures mounted on the ceiling. Will hopefully get some better photos once done. But the lighting in the booth is awesome. Looking forward to getting the walls and ceiling painted white as well.

This is all my car has done since November, although I did just put in a big order for some new aero and misc for this season.

Also upgraded to the real version for my fronts this season. Still looking for a pair of rears in 18x9.5 +12 at some point. These fronts are a bit haggard but hopefully they clean up well.

And the newest project in the shop, a friends gts-t in to get some suspension work done and for us to design our DL Garage R32 Knuckle modification off of.

Nissansota240 · 02-26-2015, 08:23 AM

The pair of cr kais cleaned up pretty damn good.

Also the paint booth is nearing final stages.

Looks a lot cooler with a skyline parked underneath.

Nissansota240 · 03-02-2015, 08:31 AM

Projects are filling up the Batcave, haha

Nissansota240 · 03-12-2015, 08:02 PM

One of the projects we recently had dropped off at the shop was a friends s13 hatch that he wants a KA24DET swapped in. Should have a few more squirrels by the time we are done with it.

Not much for build photos since its nothing too crazy.

Although another thing thats got me hyped is we finally got our DL Garage Rack spacers from the machine shop. Right now we are selling them for a new product/intro price of $40 plus shipping.

Nissansota240 · 03-17-2015, 11:52 AM

Small Update, got the motor back in last weekend, gauges wired up, pretty much most the wiring done except for the batter in the rear hatch. Now waiting on parts to come in for the powersteering and also for the intercooler kit. Hoping to have this wrapped up this coming weekend if all goes well.

Nissansota240 · 04-15-2015, 09:30 AM

Finally got that ka-t swap done. Turned out pretty nice after a lot of modification.

Issues with the ISIS kit included:
-Needed to purchase a 90º coupler for the turbo to hot pipe
-Needed to make our own intake pipe since the one provided didn't even come close to fitting.
-Down pipe didn't fit, had to beat the fire wall/foot are a bit to get the fitment.
-Turbo outlet/elbow didn't include hardware

There may have been a few other things but they where small. Otherwise when the swap was finished it drove pretty well. Felt like maybe a 220-230hp sr with a bit more torque. I know I'd have fun ripping around USAIR with it.

Also installed a DL Garage single bar bash bar.

And finally dug this out of storage, getting it ready for DD51 in a week and a half.

Nissansota240 · 05-14-2015, 08:39 AM

So quick rundown

Got the rear bumper painted to match the car color. Unfortunately the rear doesn't flow with the skirts the best.

Then we finished up a couple other cars for Drift Day 51 at USAIR

The 2jz swapped Starion

And a KA-T s14 also

Drift Day 51 was a blast, cars clean streak of no major damage was finally ended after 4 years because some idiot didn't follow track rules to wait, and shot off course in front of our tandem run.

Jesse posing with his carnage

The video of how the dude f'd up

Starion Photos

Then after drift day was over, brought the car home and parked it. Next weekend was going go for a cruise then this happened.

All fixed now though, just prepping the car for DD52 and Gridlife.

Also currently working on the wiring for a full stand alone and custom chassis harness for the car formally known as smurf car.

VQ35DE Swapped S13, custom long tube headers, mounts, etc, will be running a Haltech.

Trying to get this car up and running in the next week or so.

ka-titties · 05-14-2015, 04:40 PM

lol i'm using hockey pucks on my vq swap too.

that circuit panel is looking good.

Thanks, Justin and I are getting pretty close to having this done up and running (the motor portion of the wiring at least) not to bad for only really starting on the wiring a few days ago.

The hockey puck motor mounts are temporary, but unfortunately due to time constraints on getting the project up and running they may have to stay a bit longer then he wants.

Here is the circuit panel mounted in the car and ready to mate up to the motor harness.

And here are the custom VQ in S13 Long Tube Headers Chris Fabbed

Nissansota240 · 05-18-2015, 09:33 AM

So over the winter I didn't really build the car, I just acquired parts. Now I'm finally to the point where I can install them.

Kouki Wing, Dmax Style Hood, Orgin Type 1 Overs, Mirrors, Stylish Rear Bumper and some 18" Rims for the Rear. Hopefully paint in a week.

And the progress on the s13 VQ wiring is almost to the point where we can finally hear the car run!

Nissansota240 · 05-21-2015, 08:23 AM

Fired the VQ up for the first time last night. Thing sounds like a v8 with just the open longtube headers. Can not wait to drive this car.

ka-titties · 05-21-2015, 10:06 AM

its a fun motor in an schassis. make sure he swaps his ring and pinion to something longer like the Q45 3.56 gear. with the stock 240 rear end, the trans gears are super short.

Mr. white · 05-21-2015, 10:29 AM

Love this build. Hope I get to go to FB, so I can see this in person. Where did you get the Hood?

Yep he is planning about switching out to a different R&P. I can't remember off hand what his plan was for.

Thanks, there have been so many projects rolling through the shop as of late. We still have a couple more cars to build before Final Bout II

Nissansota240 · 06-15-2015, 11:01 AM

Have a few updates for this thread, but I'll just leave this for now.

Nissansota240 · 06-30-2015, 07:06 AM

Haven't updated this much lately, and have been busy with a lot of shop stuff but, here are some photos.

We got the smurf car all up and running with the vq swap now as well.

Mind your ears the vq is loud as hell!

Also pretty much destroyed my all my aero and took a good hit to the quarter. So car is looking pretty ugly right now, but new aero has been ordered and hopefully I can get this back to looking good by final bout again. Also blew up my second transmission this year, lost 2nd and then 3rd during the comp. Replacement s14 trans is in already though so I'm pretty much ready to go for Club FR Drift Day 53

ka-titties · 06-30-2015, 09:00 AM

that s13 is killin it. i'm excited to get my vq s14 out on track.

Nissansota240 · 07-16-2015, 09:21 AM

Sold all my version select and orgin aero, and made a new purchase in preps for Final Bout

tougefactory · 07-16-2015, 09:51 AM

Looks good.

Final Bout 2 Prep has started, can't wait for this thing to be one color and rocking fresh aero again.

Harry is the rad dude that will be doing the body and paint work

ka-titties · 07-24-2015, 11:07 AM

i wish i knew a rad dude to do body and paint work on my car. i hate doing that shit.

Its the trade off for me doing all the wiring on his car.

ka-titties · 07-24-2015, 02:33 PM

worth it for sure. I'd wire a VQ in trade for body work any day.

You got them confused, Chris owns the vq s13 and Harry owns the 2jz swapped starion.
