Oh you big tease you :D

you sure know how to spoil a bloke :)

Mr Rampant, funny seeing you about! And yes, I'm pretty sure that treatment worked on you once :down:

wat exactly did you get done on it that took 2 years + to finish?

Clear an EPA, and put a new setup in EPA compliant.

Gone from RB25 to RB26, plus a lot of other stuff, engine bay fill, reco just about every part i can think of etc :D

Plus ive had 3/4 holidays in that time, so money wasnt flowing as nicely as id like, and i lost motivation 100 times

wat exactly did you get done on it that took 2 years + to finish?

1 year and 11 months was spent trying to make an R31 look good, they gave up in the end and used the last month to jam an RB26 in it.

Nice work Ash, so you won't be hanging out a window like a farking muppet on this GOR cruise!

Aaron is a c0ck smoker and funky is a banana bending darkie!!

I have modified my skyline too, it now sits about 2 foot higher on stands and bricks and collects dust like a true thoroughbred.

Just had a look through my photos, no photos of Ash hanging out of the passengers side of his car like a flag....... flapping around like an old porn stars undercarriage......... sploot sploot..

This thread has to be in the nominations at the end of the year, laughed hard reading it! Rossco, Big Bird and Funky! LOL

I like others didnt realise Ash even owned a car until late last year when I stumbled across a picture in album of Dee's I think that was posted on here. Since then I have seen it at Benno's a couple of times but is great to have it finally completed. I would sell it now though :bunny:

Look forward to seeing Ash behind the wheel of a car and also his :D

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
