In the last 4 years I have owned 4 240s, 2 Zenki and 2 Kouki. For some reason everytime something doesn't work and I end up selling the cars, either for huge loss or some minute profit which is never the intention.

My last Kouki was sold before I can post it up here to a guy to who sold it the next day to a guy who posted it on here. Not sure what happened after that.


This time I am building myself a car to continiously enjoy, constantly modify and on occasion surprise the life out of my neighborhood's local "fast cars." All this is being done by the incredible team at C&S Motorsports who are responsible for #dirtybuilt. I thank them greatly for their patience with me as I insist on overnight parts everytime there is a snag. Big thanks to Wiring Specialities, Raw Brokerage, FRSport, Turn14 and countless other vendors for dealing with my questions and allowing me to open accounts to get great discounts on all the parts I have needed along the way.

I bought this car from a local guy who had big dreams. He got the chassis, stripped it, bought an enitre r33 front clip and rear subframe, stripped that and then couldn't take the next step for several years until I showed up with my pickup truck and a trailer.

When I got the car it was two tone, previous owner sold the front end when he wanted to go R33 but then got the replacement stock front end as plans changed. The car is currently three tone because on the first test drive I was so excited that I forgot to bolt down the hood and it went flying into the air.

This is stage 1. I have included pricing on most things not to show off but to inform those who are looking to do this type of swap of what costs will be involved.
