Rust has been cool for a while brosef.

Popular with VW guys not Nissan. I dont get why people purposely want to make their cars look like shit. BTW, that car screams fanboy with the shit rust hood, sportmax wheels and roof rack that is most likely never used.

[drftem]

Like I am pretty sure I posted on page 1.
the guys that actually do the rusted look spend thousands to paint it.
Its not real rust on the show cars.

People origianally didnt want thier cars to look like shit.
But they didnt want to throw something away because it was unsalvagable or not worth the thousands in body work.




So they slammed a beat up cool car and decided to drive it for awhile before it goes to the junkyard like so much other wasted history of western civilization.


And like anything, it eveolved into its own style.

just like drifting isnt the fastest way around a corner, but it evolved from doing things properly.
Rust/rat rod look, isnt the best way to have a cars exterior or paint, but it evolved and is an offshoot of doing it properly.


I couldnt find a picture of the car with the copper hood, that thing is awsome.


havent read his article in awhile.
whats the planned color and when??
otherwise we are gonna discuss rust in this thread till he gets some paint.

haha rename this the rust thread, because this car isnt getting anything new done for a while.

I've kinda kept it to myself for quite some time now, but i am really curious now as to why you have such distaste for my car? please don't get me wrong it doesn't bother me much, i just want to understand the mindset of people who start hate threads on my car on different forums and such, and to be frank i dont feel like signing up on other forums and the easiest way is to ask you. I understand its cool to hate on things that are popular, especially when the people making it so popular are of questionable intelligence, however i sense (from your other posts) that you are intelligent enough not to hate on something just because its cool to do so. so please, if it's not too much trouble - enlighten me.

[lflkajfj12123]

its pretty obvious its all about the driver

and yuta boy do you suck

it's a beater s30 that looks like shit, and you're doing nothing to restore it. instead, you've turned it into a low rider.
s30's are sports cars, and it bothers me when one is modified to be a show piece that cannot perform as intended. this enormous-rims-almost-touching-fenders-but-not-quite trend takes decent sporty cars and makes them worthless on the street or track by compromising their suspension geometry for the most enormous rims they can stuff into the wheel wells, with no care for proper camber. this kind of crap belongs on cars that were sloppy to begin with, not something that was built to be driven and enjoyed.
but what REALLY bothers me is how something so shoddy looking is being treated as a show car. rat rods have always had their place, but now it seems the well thought out, restored, glossy cover car is dead, because it's so much cheaper and easier to see who can make the shittiest looking car, and that's not something our community or any, eventually, can sustain. if everybody were buying up Z's and letting them turn into buckets, we'd quickly run out of Z's. same for the s chassis, although their main enemy is a light post or street sign and amateur driving.
i'll cap this with the classics It's Nothing Against You and I Can Appreciate The Workmanship, But. obviously it takes some work to cram enormous wheels into wells with such precision, and make it sit with a stance that does, granted, look pretty cool. and i believe i read you have plans to paint it, but, right now, people aren't looking at it and going "oh man, this is going to look cool when it's painted", they're going "oh man, rusty shit is fucking sweet". this car (currently) represents two trends that i absolutely despise, and wish would go away in favor of something, ANYTHING, that would make fanboys start using the phrase "function over form" again.

Thanks for replying, i half thought you wouldn't.

What bothers me is that you represent one of the things i most despise, ignorance.

I kinda wish people would actually take a bit of time to read into the car, not just some online "publication". I would imagine that any website would try to feature controversial shit and make it sound even more "edgy" to generate views and attention. The suspension on that car is what i personally spent the most money on, not the wheels or the fiberglass body panels (i know, its shocking). Everything from the rear lower control arms, front lower control arms, tension rods to the tie rods are adjustable, reinforced and well not just there because they make my car look trendy, with the NRCAs my suspension geometry is actually pretty damn close to that of a stock car, and probably better than an example with just lowering springs.

I realize the car looks shitty from the outside, there is surface rust and a fender that came off a different car. but I chose this car for that exact reason, The only thing wrong with the exterior was one banged up fender (hence the one brown fender from a 280z) and some surface rust. The rest of the car is ridiculously clean at 63,000 miles, the interior is what really sold the car.

So let me just clarify one thing, this car is not following any "trend". If some kids want to think that its cool to make their new cars look like they have been at the bottom of the lake for 30 years im sorry that you had to see that, i didn't want to see it either. Its a bit of a shame all these magazines and websites didn't wait until the car was further along to feature it and its also a shame that they decided that presenting it as a piece of shit with big wheels would generate more ad revenue.

Well, it was nice talking, enjoy your new information.

me too.
Im a ricer though, yet not.
i dont really make any sense...........

[WanganRunner]

Honestly, I don't think the car should be "finished", I think it's perfect.

This is natural patina, not some case where a kid takes his EK hatch and starts rusting panels on purpose. It can't be a trend when it's the product of decades of natural aging and wear.

I love that people think that if you have flush wheels theres is NO WAY you can drive it still. Fucking stupid, look around theres so many cars that are pretty damn low and have flush wheels and still drive good. Of course there is limits to this just like everything else.

I feel bad for Yuta catching all this shit for his car when hes just trying to build something he will enjoy. Its really all this media attention thats turning this build into what its not. Keep up the good work, cant wait to see this thing painted. Any idea on color? or is that top secret info.

[michael_torres]

the media killed this car

Thank you.

the original silver.

...but im gonna have some fun with the colors before i get real paint.

[icapture]

Lets see some pics of the interior?

How was the condition of the Dash? Mine was amazingly shitty, but the dash cap has fixed that...for now. Gonna get a clean uncracked one down the road.
