Part 3:

This was the first time in a couple years the car left my parents driveway. I raised the car really high and put spares on the front to get it on the trailer. The next week, I lowered the car back down and put some new tires on the front wheels.










I ordered a Koguchi Power hood and a Hotroad lip through Japanese Parts Service and picked them up. I was super eager to see the car in full aero form.





I started looking for a pair of 18” LMGT4s and eventually found a pair on the auctions. But they were 9.5 +30 and needed a big spacer with my overfenders.




About a week after they arrived, I bought a set of 18x10.5 +15 from Australia. I paid too much, but they are absolutely grail wheels. I quickly became a hoarder of all bronze Nismo wheels.





I probably should sell some of them but I haven’t really decided. Anyway, I started tearing apart the car again. I definitely could have quickly painted all the pieces and started driving again, but I wanted to restore the car a bit and have the whole thing painted at once.






Since I still needed rear aero, I finally found a G-grow rear valance. It hits my exhaust at the moment but looks really cool with the OEM skirts. Also put my LMGT4s on a buddies WRX. They really look cool on everything.






I also bought a pair of 20mm Origin fenders and a DMAX roof wing.





So that pretty much takes us to now. The rear suspension needs to be buttoned up and then the car will be back off jack stands. The plan is to pull the engine sometime next week for a refresh and S15 turbo. Ill send the car off to paint after I finish fitting all the pieces. I haven’t decided if I want to a simply 90s/00 inspired livery or no stickers but that’s a couple months away. Thanks for reading in any case.
