Hello,

My name is Kenji, 35 years of age, come from The Netherlands, and I ordered my FD3S today. Hopefully I can drive her home in about a month.



My previous cars were a 256 bhp Nissan 200SX, 321 bhp Nissan Sil80 and a 511 bhp Toyota MarkII.

 

Welcome

Spend some time reading the FAQ thread to learn more about the car while you wait

Thanks for the welcome.

Here's a little more info about me.

I live in The Netherlands, in Rotterdam to be exact.
I live together with my girlfriend Mariska and 2 cats.

I'm a bit of a late bloomer with cars. Always loved them, but found that money was too tight to get my license. So I got my license when I was 25.
My first car was a Nissan 100NX. Slow as sh*t and looked like Fast & Furious, even before the movie was out.
After 2 years I bought my first RWD, a Nissan 200SX S13.
I had much fun with that, but pretty soon my eye was drawn to a Nissan Sil80 which was for sale in the UK.
I flew over, looked at the car, bought the car and after two weeks I found out the engine was FUBAR inside.

Fresh purchase:



Just two weeks after purchase :-(



But after 4 weeks rebuilding it looked a whole lot better:
2.1 litre, with ballbearing GT28R doing an easy 321 bhp


And the car looked better too:





I sold the car to a guy in Denmark, and ordered a Toyota MarkII from Japan, which, after 4 years of ownership, I turned from almost stock into this:
Twin GT2530 turbo's, and loads more mods, 511 bhp.

 

And now, I sold the MarkII to, surprisingly, another guy from Denmark. And now I'm waiting for my FD3S

 

As my car had no strutbrace, I bought one secondhand. Paint on it was a bit scruffy.





My grilfriend works in a paint shop, so she mixed up a custom bright orange with gold flake and I painted the brace:

 

Those are some amazingly great photos of your work. I love the Orange + Gold flake. Normally I am not a fan of the color Orange, but with the Gold Flake it looks absolutely stunning. Thanks for the pics, was definitely a good read, and welcome to the forums.

 

Been quite busy with the car in the last few months.

Swapped the stock bumperlights for crystal versions




Fitted a Momo wheel on snapoff hub, and some gauges






Lowered the coilovers an extra inch, fitted new wheels (Dotz Mugello, 18x8 front, 18x9 rear, custom painted), fitted a RE Amemiya diffuser, SpecII taillights.










And repainted various engine parts

 

love the car man. it's so clean. i am not a fan of the green but i am a firm believer in to each and their own. i totally respect the hard work you have put into the car. it is beautiful.

 

All your pics look fantastic. Like your style. Orange is my favorite color so love the strut bar! I want my whole car that color!

 

Nice photos.

 

beautiful man love it!!

 

Thanks, all

 

These will stiffen up my rear end, which is wobbly now

 

Awesome job man.
We should meet up sometime.

Are you going to the jap import festival on the 8th of may?

 

Yep, i'll be there


Recent (small) changes:

- Pettit racing AST fitted






- fitted 15mm spacers on the rear

 

Cool.

Did you order your ast? or bought it in holland?

 

Bought it off someone here on the forum.

 

The 15mm spacers on the rear were a tad too weak, so those went to the front, and got some 20mm rear spacers.



Replaced the intake pipes with polished ones:



Took off the green wheels, and set her on Advan Model7's (if only for a week or two)



I started with this:



And after a lot of cleaning, degreasing, sanding, masking and painting, I ended up with this:



So it looks like this now:

 

What did you do with the Super Advans that came on the car? I want!

 

Some recent pics....

 

very clean, love the green

 

Nice 7, but Love that Mark II I had a JAX90 & 100 before great cars....

Sick rides!

 

Sick car dude keep up the good work. What kind of paint did you use for your intake tube and turbo charge pipe?
