Shawn is correct. Not a GTR, but it cost me less than $10K

Thank man! I didn't know many people knew about it lol
At this point, I had already ordered some cooling parts that I wanted to keep the car cool during drifting here in the Texas heat. I went with a Koyo radiator and just a simple Autozone transmission cooler that I would use for a power steering cooler.
Here is a comparison between the factory "power steering cooler" and what I was installing.
And both them installed. I'll be moving the location of the PS cooler later on.
I found a set of 17" Blitz 03's for pretty cheap so i bought them.
Got a really good deal on buy 3 get 1 free STRI gauges so I picked them up.
Picked up a pair of Cusco Front Camber Arms. These are the shortest ones that they make, which are 10 or 15mm shorter than OEM. I didnt like the adjustable ones that everyone makes. These were sturdy and heavy duty.
Needed an alignment afterwords before the event.
After getting everything installed, It was time for Round 1 for the TXSL series. I didnt have my cage in time but I took the time to get used to drift the Skyline. After this event I regretted nothing.
The weekend after Round 1 of TXSL was RiceBowl. Im not a big fan of "car shows" or meets because I get bored quickly of just sitting around not doing anything but I figured I would go ahead with participating.
Went to the store after RiceBowl.
All my roommates parts came in from GTR Garage.
