Hi guys,

This is my very first car, bought new in 2001 as a present. For sentimental reasons I have not sold it.

It has been unregistered for the past few years however I hope to get it going soon.

In 2004 I swapped the motor to a 6A12 MIVEC. In 2006 it has been fully rebuilt, balanced rotating assembly, ported & polished heads, race tuned HPC coated extractors, 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust, ported intake runners, bored plenum, 5mm oversize TB , raised compression ratio, FPR and an e-manage to tune it.

Gearbox is a JDM Cyborg RS short ratio box + Cusco 1.5 way LSD, Exedy HD clutch and a rally spec quickshifter

Suspension consists of Tein SS coilovers, whiteline strut braces, F&R adjustable swaybars, adjustable spherical links for the swaybars, and every single bush has been upgraded to Superpro items. Tires are 205-45-16 Bridgestone S-02.

Brakes are Evo III all round, FTO booster and master cylinder.

Interior is black MR, JDM dashboard, JDM climate control, FTO instrument cluster, black suede Integra Type R Recaro seats on Evo VI rails, Razo gearknob, and an Isotta steering wheel.

I have other cars now and hence this one has been ignored a bit but it has always been a lot of fun to drive hence my rekindled interest in it. My future plans include deleting the bodykit, new wheels and semi slick tires and maybe using it as a track car.

There are no power figures as out of compulsion after the engine was rebuilt the car was put into storage and has not moved in years.

      S15 Spec R

      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

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      By PranK · Posted

      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... 😅
