Shin's Garage 竜GSE21のホーム

My Story:
I had a business proposition a few days ago in Yokohama, Japan just south of Kawasaki and the big city of Tokyo. I was excited to be back in Japan, to see the mountainous regions, exciting culture and taste some of the best food the mouth can fathom. I reached our garage via cab, then I happened to notice something quite extraordinary. I asked Takano(Good friend and shop owner) about it, and he said "Go take a look".

My heart began to pound harder and harder as I approached a covered car. With permission, I slowly removed the fabric and saw an amazing sight. It was a silver 4-door r33!! It had to be a dream, just being able to hear about this car is a privillege, but I saw. It was "almost" in mint condition, It had an unfinished RB25DETT swapped motor from an R33 Gt-R, no wheels, the passenger seat was missing, no intercooler, no intake manifold and no oil and cooling units. Takano was planning to send it for scrap (bad decision), since in Japan, these cars weren't worth anything equivalent to dust. I gave it a personal inspection, and just when I thought hope was lost, I saw 2 key factors that change my mind. This car had to be a previous project car, it had a 4-set Fully-Adjustable Coil Suspension Kit straight from Yashio Factory and a Limited slip differential from TOMEI. 2 ideal factors for drifting.

I immediately said him, "I'll buy it". Takano agreed to sell it to me for a sexy price of 430000 JPY, now thats roughly about $5,200 in the U.S. He let me drive his R33, it was his daily driver just to get from A to B, there wasn't anything to it. BUt thats what he thought. I almost died of excitement, being able to drive this car was an unforgettable experience, and so was my purchase. Now I can restore a legend that once lived to be the best of the best.
Here's my car





The car doesn't run yet, need to buy an intake manifold w/ throttle body and oil cooling units from NISMO performance.
On the outside she is beautiful, but under the hood is a different story (btw dont mind the painted intercooler at the bottom, will be removed)

Got my Oil and cooling units and Endless Intakes system yesterday, it was a long process, but the results turned out amazing
