The story so far.

May last year I bought an AW11 JDM SC Targatop, converted to NA small port by the old owner for P plate restrictions. Since buying the car I’ve been using it as a daily until I managed to get on top of some bad debt I had lying around. I’ve put 70000kms ontop of the car since I purchased it so she’s proper fucked.

In that time outside of standard maintenance all I’ve done is some electrical repairs and I’ve upgraded the brakes to slotted rotors with EBC Greenstuffs.

The car had a few things that needed fixing when I bought it, all minor things, I removed the crappy autotechnica steering wheel, the Type R 5″ tacho, the mesh over the front grill, the playboy seat covers and a few other things.

The engines got pretty much no compression left now and its starting to run pretty goddamn rough, chewing through oil at a phenomenal rate and just generally stinking out whatever road I drive her on.

This is how the car sat when I bought it, 70k kms down the F3 every day and a few minor dings have left her looking a little more ratty then when I got it but cosmetics are the last thing that I will fix on her.

I picked this up last night for an awesome price, its an AE92 AFM GZE in a poor condition AE82, this will be the donor car for the engine replacement I so desperately need.

The original plan was to build a nice 4A Turbo setup but due to time and money restraints I needed a motor asap and the GZE came up at an awesome price so I couldnt argue. My smallport will be pulled from this shell for the GZE and I will build that up as a turbo motor later on down the track.
