Blood, Sweat, and Three years.

Hi guys, I finally got my car somewhat finished and though I’d share it with all of you.

First a little background. I got this car 3 yrs ago as an NA with 193k. Drove it about a year till I finally decided to do a tt conversion, shortly after the destruction began. Twin Turbo swap which took me nearly a year due to sourcing parts and information. I would like to thank you all for information provided in this forum which has helped me with this swap. I did the swap with basic mechanical skills, After the swap I decided to go to Universal Technical Institute and am now a Tech at Nissan. During school I got heavy into drifting which is what the car is built for. This is my z32 drift car that I do plan on competing with.

Re: Blood, Sweat, and Three years.

Nice, always feels good to bring a project to fruition. Competing in local events or are you going for regional stuff?

Re: Blood, Sweat, and Three years.

Other than the HKS pipes it looks good..... I HATE the fartcans look of HKS.

But like I said the car looks good.
