scottie

Thank for the kind words!


So we have been extremely busy at the shop lately, my build getting pushed in the back while customer projects roll thru. It has been a year since I have been out of a decently quick car, so needless to say the urge to drive is very real. A few of my buds have recently acquired street cars as they too are in the process of building their car. With that, I made a phone call to a good friend of mine, a guy in the Nissan game for many years to inquire about his coupe he has been building over the past few years. Come to find out he was willing to sell it to a "likeminded" individual. So after some back and forth I was able to acquire his coupe.

I must admit this car brings back so many memories for me. This coupe is very similar to my first Nissan (89' SR swapped Coupe), BUT has all the right Japanese parts, with a mixture of USA and Australian pieces mixed in. Of course it wasn't without some quirks which I am in the process of changing. Lets call it "Scottie's mini street coupe build". Anyways, I will get to the pics. A full list of mods will follow.

Pulled out of a barn after months..


After a quick wash




Installed new Sony deck, Greddy Profec B and Greddy Turbo Timer. I know a timer isn't needed with today's turbo tech but again, this build is my time capsule. I wanted to stay true to the 90's mods. Also hit with SEM trim paint and Nismo shift knob.

Deep cleaning. Pulled the iron out, deep wash, clean and one pass with the polisher. Ceramic coated for protection.

Quick notes of things I absolutely love about this coupe.

• NEW weather stripping!
• NEW carpet, headliner and steering column stalk!
• OEM Silvia Aero bumper, skirts, rear valences
• Wedssports 17" wrapped in Nitto NT05 235/40 square setup
• OS Giken 1.5 Super Lock diff is predictable
• GTX2867R w/External WG is an awesome street turbo

Stay tuned....
