Sorry for the late replies, have been down in New Orleans/Baton Rouge visiting a friend. Bourbon street is nuts lol. Any ways, my wheels came in today. My dad sent me a pic and holy hell they look brand new. Almost don't want to send them to wheel flip to keep originality lol. Oh well got to pay to play. Hopefully I get to go home before I find another job to go to so I can take some pics.

Thanks! Heh the owner of wheel flip told me I have 2 sets of the best wheels ever created ever lol. He was referring to the blitz 03 and panasport g7 c5c2. Quote:
Me to! Thanks! Gracias Quote:
And the reason they are so popular. They were in the 400r! Just little nismo knick knack. Quote:

woops missed this. Yea I couldn't pass the white coupe up. It was in overall great condition. But it will soon be painted black as well. Nissan super black. I have a thing for black cars. Nismo key pops up from time to time. They range in price. Expect to spend at least 100. I have seen them on yahoo japan for like 2-300 hundred lol.

Ok finally home from a little 2 week New Orleans/Baton Rouge vacation. Got to see the wheels for first time. These things are amazing. Quite possible the nicest wheels I have ever seen. I give them a 9.5 out of 10. You can barely tell they have been used. I don't know if its the gold or what, but in the sun they glow kind of like the metallic blue super advans. Just looking at these wheels you can tell they are quality lol. Wish my s4 took a little bit better photos. For some reason they just don't look clear to me, kind of hazy.
Again, GTR garage did amazing work. Much props to Kunio and his team. I have got two sets of wheels from them within the past months. Took a few pics of the storage unit to lol. The super advans are on the car thus not pictured.

not much of an update as far as the car in general goes. Just got a few new parts in. Was in Indianapolis building a steel mill, then went to Great Falls Montana for a few months changing a hydro electric damn turbine from air cooled to water cooled, then left their and went straight to North Dakota and did a boiler repair on coal burning power plant. Just got home for the year lol.
Tomei A/F meter BNIB. Nismo gas cap cover Nismo Fashion Lighter BNIB Advan wheel locks, pretty nifty S14 tomei master cylinder stopper, not sure if works with ABS or doesn't work with ABS. Maybe someone will know. For sale if anyone wants let me know. Should have one more item coming from Kunio. I'll throw it up if I'm still home when it gets here. Then I guess I never posted pics of this. old school nismo horn button BNIB

pipe weld. I travel constantly. I've had that storage unit for years. Ever since I moved out of my apartment and went to welding school. Needed a place to keep the car and all my shit while I was gone. Pipe welding changed my life. You make money real fast. But its kind of hard to make any sort of plans as you never know when you might be out of work for a while. So saving is a must anyways. For instance last month alone I made 17k. 4,300 a week. The key is trying to stay busy all year. I shoot for only 2 months a year of not working (by choice). Mainly the holiday months at the end of the year. It's cold as hell anyways lol no one likes working outside in the cold haha.
I have been tossing around the idea of buying a gigantic garage and just putting a living quarters in it. They are big enough to put a second level in. Basically the playboy mansion of garages. I will need a place anyways to keep more cars. Nismo r32 GTR is high on the list right now. I will have one, so a bigger place is mandatory. My parents want me to buy a house for investment reasons. But honestly its a waste of time and money at this point. Its pointless bills that take away from saving that money and just buying a place cash. I'll never be their anyways. I play it by ear. Right now I'm in hardcore save mode. The goal is to hit 6 figs in the bank before any big purchases. Just a personal goal. I could buy the GTR now, but have no place to keep it. So I just want to do it all at once. I figure I can take a break from buying car shit if in the long run I get a nismo r32. Once the 240 is done, there really isn't shit else for me to buy except those two things. The only thing's I will buy are those really rare finds on yahoo japan etc. Shit that is those "now or never" kind of opportunities. Nismo r32 is my dream car basically. If I would of known about this trade when I was 18, I would be so fucking loaded right now it makes me sick even thinking about it. 12k and 5 months for welding school, you're in the land of 6 figs a year. No waste of time 4-6 year college with tens...if not hundreds of thousands of debt. Just go straight into the field and start banking fat cash. Not to mention you build things that run the modern day world. Refineries, power plants, pipe lines, pharmaceutical, food processing plants, ethanol plants etc. The list goes on. Very interesting things that will blow your mind when you see this stuff internally. Crazy shit. You really get to see the extent of man made engineering. Without us, you have nothing. No power, gas, pharmaceuticals, food processing etc. It's a pretty rewarding job. Best thing I've ever done for myself.

let me know lol. Although I just made an impulse buy on a 1995 5 speed 12v turbo cummins flat bed truck. Making a rig truck out of it. Which means more money in the long run, but you got to spend money to make money. A necessary evil.

lol, I'm a nobody. Just know what I want and do it.
MWI, missouri welding institute. I call it welding bootcamp. Quote:
No lol. I'm Zeus. Not sure if I want to sell. I know of at least 2 more nissans I will buy. I may sell one, not sure. But I have got a shit ton of pm's for one. So if I decide to, I will go to the first guy first. Thanks, trying to get it done. My life style is so spontaneous though. This cummins turbo diesel has got my interest. That holset turbo is music to my ears lol. Parts are so damn cheap compared to my JDM addiction. I feel like a kid in candy store.
