MR 1JZ's C33 5-0 Laurel

[MR 1JZ]

This car started life as one of the less blessed vehicles to come from the nissan factory as it was factory pov spec complete with single cam RB20...about as fun as a fork in your anus.

This is how it looked when I got it:

Complete with rusty sills, gaurds and chassis, but hey..it was cheap and already a manual with the proper handbrake, none of this foot park brake shit so it was too good to refuse.

The original plan was to comply it and sell it...but that idea went straight out the window when I did my sums on how cheaply i could get this car together, running, making 200rwkw and sliding around Mallala.

This is what the car looks like today:

Awesome car. Can I ask how the police found out about your creation and what their reaction has been so far? How did you get the decals?

Awesome car btw, any pics of the single cammer RB20 (never seen one before).
Cant believe the stock RB20E gearbox is still holding up ok.

Cops saw it at the track...they now attend all competitions to keep the peace between some of the bogans that come out to watch us slide, they loved it...none of them ever wanted to stand near it for a photo with me though...that shart me off a little

Decals were done by a mate of mine...i gave him a crappy photoshop I did and said "make it happen" 4 days later we had the stickers :)

Stock RB20E box is the same as an RB20DET box...double synchros, etc etc, just has been thrashed a whole lot less :)

[Aloysious]

more info on the aristo :)

[MR 1JZ]

no worries mate, ill put a thread up next week when all of my goodies arrive :)

[Smashed S15 Bloke]
