I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Thanks guys!

Just got a great deal on some Cusco Zero-1 coils off Up Garage for the FC, they'll be in my hands in a few weeks!
Two pics from the other day:

And since I've been waiting on my main build, I decided to make a mini-me body after finally getting my hands on a kouki 180SX RC body.

Hope you all like it! I'll have more updates later on :)

Thanks guys! :thumbup:
Got my interior all tidy and bolted together
Image

Painted my Z calipers to match my VC
Image

Got a non-hicas rear subframe so I can finally get rid of rear wheel steering
Image

Got some new wheels for the FC, but had to test them on the hatch. Yes, they are fakes :|
Image

My buddy picked up a black kouki S14 for a steal, had to welcome it to the family
Image

Instashit
Image

Got the block honed and hot tanked
Image

Crank micropolished (don't worry, I didn't hurt it by placing it on the ground for 2 seconds)
Image

Tires on the R33 replicas
Image
Image

A few goodies from Nissanparts.cc
Image

Finished building the SR other than the front timing chain, cover and oil pan.
Image

Stripped the bay and started with a new color, nothing crazy-uber dorifto status here
Image
Image

Also picked this up to go along with my other white face Greddy gauges
Image

More pics to come today! My timing chain guide will be here Monday, and the motor can finally be finished and thrown in. VERY excited!
