Lamborghini 300ZX

Pic 1: This bumper looked familiar....

I spotted this Nissan Fairlady 300ZX (Z32) recently in a bodykit shop. Horrors it be, it's being converted to replicate the Lamborghini Gallardo. :O

While in standard form, the Z32 may not be that much of a looker but compliment it with a nice bodykit and the appropriate wheels, it'll stand out looking real handsome. If only the owner of this car did just that.

Well I have a lot of comments but I think I'll let the pictures speak for itself ..... plus I do not want to offend anyone. Hahaha

Enjoy!

Pic 2: Quadruple exhausts!?!?!

Pic 3: Some vents here ...

Pic 4: X-Wing :P

Pic 5: Mouth of 'da bull

Pic 6: Uhmm .....

Pic 7: Wonder if real Gallardo lights gonna be fitted there....guess probably not.

Pic 8: Another shot of the vents

Skyline Company

This is what might happen if you are madly in love with the Skyline. You'll probably end up naming your business with that name. Do not forget to paint your lorry too. LOL :D

92,000km Service

Pic 1: Engine oils and engine oil filter

It's time for fresh fluids for the ER34 again. The vehicle is now at 92,000km and due for an engine oil change. My last engine oil change was 5,000km ago after the completion of my Stage II mods. You can check out the process here.

That was approximately 6 months back!! Damn I really should get my car serviced at a much earlier interval. Now, where can I find more time???

The usual Torco SR1 10W-40 engine oil was used coupled with a the Nissan engine oil filter (Part No. 15208-53J00). Feels good to finally able to pamper the ER34 for a bit of a much needed "blood transfusion". :)

Riceboy R34 Headlights

Pic 1: Riceboy R34 headlights

This is proof that riceboy-ness (Ah Beng Syndrome for those residing in Malaysia and Singapore) do exist in hip and cool Japan. Check out these R34 Xenon headlights that have been modified to have daytime running lights (ala Audi) and also CCFL rings (ala BMW). Uber ugly if you ask me.

If I see anyone R34 with these lights on the street, I'm gonna give the owner a bitch slap! Hahahaha

Wheels in Motion - Work Emotion XD9

Just wanna share this excellent video of the wheels off my ER34. I'm running Work Emotion XD9 with the below specs:-

Front: 18×8.0JJ+35 5H-114.3
Rear : 18×9.0JJ+38 5H-114.3

This video is showing the rear wheels on a dyno machine. Enjoy!

Lancia Thema 8.32

Pic 1: Lancia Thema 8.32

In South East Asia, Lancia is a little known car manufacturer. This Italian car manufacturer makes amazing cars notably the Lancia Delta Integrale before the company closed its factory doors; and was bought by Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.

Being a rally fan when I was young, I was mesmerized by images of flying Delta Integrale on rallies. They are up there on the pedestal alongside "super-rally" cars like the Audi Quattro.

But have you heard of the Lancia Thema 8.32? Lancia Stratos maybe yes but a Thema? *scratches head*

The Thema 8.32 has a very unique feature, it has an electronic rear spoiler! Check out the below video showing it off. The Thema is powered by a 2927 cc Ferrari V8 powerplant! Now ain't that amazing!

Pic 3: Rear shot with the spoiler out

It is interesting that the electronic rear spoiler was in adoption so early whilst most of us here would only associate it with cars like the Porsche 911, Caymen, Boxster, Audi TT, etc....

Check this video of how it functions....

The R34 kinda look good without a rear spoiler. Now if only someone is mad enough to procure the boot off a Lancia Thema 8.32 and retrofit in the spoiler mechanism. Then you'll have the best of both worlds. LOL :P

Nissan Skyvia revisited

About 6 months ago, I posted an entry about a Nissan 180SX (RPS13) that have converted it's rear to look like a R34 Skyline. You can read about it here.

Well, lets revisit that same vehicle with exclusive footage of it's "Jekyll and Hyde" demeanor. You see, that car didn't really just convert it's RPS13 rear end to look like a R34 Skyline BUT in fact it still retains the RPS13 rear and also have the R34 Skyline rear end. Confused?

Pic 1: Nissan Skyvia

Simply put, it has two arse. One on top of the other. :P

As the above photo illustrates, opening the "R34 boot" will unveil the RPS13 centre granish plate complete with reverse lights. :P

Ain't that interesting? Hehehe
