J.

I live in Saskatchewan, I bought them all real cheap, the red one I bought with no powertrain the guy I got it off was gunna do an ls1 swap and gave up, then I actually had my 93 skyline for sale and some guy offered a trade for the black on work FD and I took that, and I just kinda fell on this 92 black type x last month, it has the red interior, 5 speed just had to have it. Probably going to end up selling my black 1 on works tho.

^ Beautiful pictures. 5th one is my new desktop background. I think the FD has the best rear 3/4 view than just about any other car.

Macer - was that the Russ' (RE Extreme) car? Looks like a similar green with the Advans as well. Either way, it looks great.


As for pics, I've got nothing. Same as it's ever been (at least on the outside.)

Ive got a lot of questions regarding my light output with these lights and comments that its probably the worst ever.

To me, they look good. What do you guys think?

love that picture.

perfect example of an interesting background that doesn't take away from the car.

i never understood why people take pictures of their cars in front of super busy graffiti walls. just totally takes away from the car, almost always ends up looking like crap.

that being said, d.adams' graffiti shot doesn't look that bad, and the rest of the pics look really good.

Light output looks great, but I think your cutoff on the driver side is too high, you could be blinding on coming traffic.

Crispy's car is clean and simple

No hard feelings I personally wouldn't of chose that spot but the photographer thought it would be cool to shoot there its a old building Wyatt Earp use to hang out at.

I have a lot more pictures but I don't want a full page on this thread dedicated to my car.


The love i now have for this FD is insane the more I drive it and work on it the more I love it. There cars are way better than I thought they were.

Thanks - yes, it was Russ's car. It's pretty unique, particularly with the AD-Facer 9 front end. Love it or hate it for some people, but I reckon it looks cool...

Couple more from Dino's photo shoot for Speedhunters, just before the car left Japan...

IMO I dont think a rock did that to your front bumber...... I say that because I have had the same issues with shitty replica GTC bumpers. It took me multiple bumpers until I found one that fit. Oh, and a rock big enough to do that would have caused alot more damage

BTW your car looks familiar

Unfortunately a rock did cause it to fall again i just had everything off and fixed it all. That bumper is gone soon I'm not a fan of the way it looks.


Nice car by the way love the color wish i wasnt white way to dirty.
