Dominik its a real shame that i'm on a JDM forum and I dunno what the hell your car is!

[munga]

y32 = nissan gloria/cedric, 1994?

[vex33d]

Damn Dominik, sorry to see the Nissan in such a state. However I spose you should be thankful that it wasn't parked with the Echo was.

How'd the fire start?

Munga thats correct, 1994 Nissan Cedric (Y32)...

And yes i am thankful it wasnt where the Echo was. It was parked next to the carport with furniture in it that kids set alight. As heartbreaking as it is to see the car like that; to be honest, the rebuilding process is actually the most enjoyable part for me.

Already been to Japan to hand-pick the parts required for the repairs. ETA is mid september... maybe

Geez, JF - you've been through some cars, mate! I had no idea you owned that AE86? Isn't that an Aus delivered GTV, and very rare at that?

[Bronald McDonald]

There where aus delivered GTVS?

Wow

[Justin Fox]

Yup it was an Aus delivered GTV. I heard that only a handful of them were brought in for Toyota staff/rally purposes only.

[uknowsergio]

Justin, i LOVE your 147. Looks so good on the GTA wheels.

You should get a Mito GTA, and re-kindle your love affair ;)

[HuH]

Yup it was an Aus delivered GTV. I heard that only a handful of them were brought in for Toyota staff/rally purposes only.

I thought so. Pretty cool piece of history that you've owned. :) I've heard a few different figures thrown around about how many were brought in. Don't know the official word but 'a handful' would sum it up.

very nice stan, how hard was it to fit the 26/30 in there?
how much of a fk around was the wiring job &
roughly how much did it cost ya all up?

[satanic]

very nice stan, how hard was it to fit the 26/30 in there?
- this part wasn't too hard; it's not much different to a RB25


how much of a fk around was the wiring job &
- wiring, yeah BIG BIG headaches... if you're taking it to a workshop - be prepared to grow a new asshole.


roughly how much did it cost ya all up?
- whole conversion cost me about $25K in parts... and specialist services (e.g. machining) it does not include any labour as we did it ourselves.

[whyte]

god damn, overall cost more then what the car is worth lol. thinkin of a rb30 build myself in future.
love what you done man, keep it up :)

[2GU UP]

wiring isnt that hard.
you just made it hard by sticking with the auto LOL

[satanic]

wiring isnt that hard.
you just made it hard by sticking with the auto LOL

You couldn't be more correct :P Sticking a RB2630 into a Skyline isn't hard at all, nearly in all cases it'll be plug n play.

Keeping your car Auto, yeah kinda asked for it :P


I had some guy in WA contact me asking for help because he wants to do the same conversion and all the workshops there told him it couldn't be done. LOL!

This is how my car looked like when I first got it. It was a 1990 T-Bar GTi model and it was completely stock :oops:
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii80/razmrtwo/1.jpg

Then, I put on a custom bodykit (unknown front lip, S15 sideskirt and unknown rear spat)
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii80/razmrtwo/13.jpg

When I got my job, I sent my car to bodyshop for a full repaint and replace the front lip with C-One item :mrgreen: I also changed the wheel from the 16" BRS Stern to a 17" K-I aluminium wheels
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii80/razmrtwo/18.jpg

Shortly after the repaint, I swap the NA engine with the turbocharged 3SGTE :cool: I did some minor mods mainly to the breathing department ;)


Then I sold the 17" wheels and replaced it with 18" wheels :cool: I also replaced the side skirt to Kei Office item :D

#1:

88' BMW 320i Convertible:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/uknowsergio/convert.jpg

Car had 88,000kms on the clock; was immaculate! The 6cylinders sounded tough and started my obsession with German engineering.

Only Mods: Spoiler (with extra brake light), H&R Springs, HID Lights.


#2

88' BMW E30 M3 EVOII (#196/500)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/uknowsergio/P1010251.jpg

#3

69' Fiat AC 124 Sport

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/uknowsergio/fiat1.jpg

This car was a love obsession; tears fell the day I let this car go! Everything about this car was so perfect to me... When it broke, it fell apart. (The petrol line came loose and ignited, the front of car came alight!) After that, i could never look at her the same...

Mods: Complete body restoration, Porsche 928 turbo seats, Lancia 2L twin webber engine, 17" wheels, upgraded brakes/sways/suspension, stereo.

I was cleaning up the house and found an old photo of my 1st car, complete with Tom's Racing decal, which I bought in a department store in Hong Kong (lol). BBS wheels came off a VR6 Golf, Pedders cut my springs (lol), a local exhaust shop made me a cat-back and yes I painted my lights black with a spray can (lol!).

I didn't respray it but the previous owner did. I have just done detail stuff like grill, bumpers, mirrors, lights etc etc.

[AusOdy]

wao Dom, very nice!! seen u on King Georges Road near Olympic Park yesterday and hurt my neck....

[The_Giefster]

^ WOW! That looks amazing! More details?

[Dominik]

Well from what you can see in that pic, baremetal respray in Mazda White Pearl with black roof, indicator mirrors, new grille done in white (got a few people telling me to change that back though), chrome front lip spoiler, and 19" Work Shwert SC2s in step-lip and custom white/polish finish. Interior has Clazzio seat covers and replaced anything that was damaged
Parts and labour costs were WELL over the insurance payout, but then when i think of how much i put in, there is no way I could have gotten from where it was before the fire, to where it is now for that much, and it literally feels like a new car (to me anyway)

[doofus]

dom that looks amazing mate!

love it!!!!! :D

can i try on your wheels? haha. how much did they cost? pm me? :D

[Bronald McDonald]

I remember seeing this car not too long ago and it was black!

Looks really nice in pearl white; rims suit it well.

p.s Leave teh white grill.

[s_vtec]

It came out looking way better then before *thumbs up*

[lukecivic]

IMO its perfect Dominik!
the polished front lip looks great!

[Dominik]

Thanks for the comments guys... It was a gamble going with this colour combo etc, but i am really happy with the results :)

[RoadsterGarage]

Damn that looks classy!

[Serial Killa]

P.I.M.... wait for it.... P

[Dominik]

Ok, i think i better make a build thread to keep this one clean... Will get onto it tonight :)

James, back in May there was a fire in my apartment block. Took out the car next to mine, and did enough damage to mine to get it classed as a total loss. I bought it back off the insurance company, and have spent the last 6 months rebuilding it to be better than it was before.

There were many setbacks and towards the end i was constantly considering whether or not to throw the towel in. But getting in it after that long wait, i know it was all worthwhile :)

[felixR]

host the pics on flickr so i can see them at work!! >_<

[.:JDM/Dave:.]

woah.. fire? what happened dude

it's evident in the 1st photo that theres been a fire in that garage/room, the walls are peeled and black from the heat and theres rubble on the car and floor
