Hey guys, i bought this KE55 about 2 years ago now for $100 (77,543 k's |blink|), it had a few bad patches of rust and we ending up doing some damage while out one night. So i decided i'd buy a parts car, cost me $500. Took pretty much everything off of it and then had it towed away. My mate decided he'd upgrade his 180 to an 2JZ and sold me his engine,(90,000 k's) i was pretty stoked.
From there, the parts slowly started rolling in, starting with around 3k of audio gear, 1k in seats and another 5k on performance parts which include - Garrett 3076 turbo, Tial 38mm wastegate, Nismo 740cc injectors, Z32 AFM, HKS coilovers for the front with Cusco strut tops, custom NPC 650hp rated clutch and flywheel, custom high-mount manifold (tuned length), Saber boost, oil pressure, water temp and oil temp gauges. Probably forgot alot of stuff. Then the money stopped. This was a sad time, i thought i could slowly save up and buy all the parts and fix her up, but it was going to take too long. So i took out a loan.
Around 1 week later, the car was towed down to Predator Motorsports who put the engine and gearbox in, which cost a fortune. $2,350 to be exact. I wasn't happy with the price, but pleased with the outcome. I had no spare time to work on it, because at this stage, i was working 70-80 hours a week, 6 days. I didn't feel like working on it on my 1 day off, just slept. So it sat there for a further 9 months untill i quit my job and got a new job which ofcourse, paid less but i only worked 38 hours and had 2 days off.
Good times. Unfortunatly, i've lost the drive to work on it, mainly because of the rain and not having assistance. The small things have been getting done slowly, but not at a rate i'm happy with. I haven't fully decided on all of the parts needed, like diff and rear brakes. Oh, and it has S13 brakes on the front, was going to redrill R32 GTR brakes, but will be on good behaviour bond and don't really feel like losing it for a silly defect. Anyway, enough chat. Here's some photos.
