"Stella" R32 GTR

[black300]

Those look really good! Keep up the good work!

I get scared of buying 1 R32 GTR due to the amount of work required, and you have 3 lol.

I just used black high temp paint for now but I have to redo it in the summer cause I'm going to weld up the holes. Hahaha just have to love the car enough to only buy this certain one haha

I saw a white GTR with a bike rack on top last night on 17th Ave SW; was that you?

if it was, your ride looks and sounds sick!

[monkee_pride]

hahaha yeah, I got off work and went to WAVES COFFEE, I have a rocket box and bike rack on it. Carry a bike so I dont have to pay for parking haha

[canadian booster]

Great job, I always appreciate someone who takes care of their skyline, too many I see driving around blowing smoke and generally in a state of disrepair

[Kylehugo]

Wow, I can't believe you actually DD Stella2, I've been practically idolizing that car since I first saw it at DTP 2012, and on days where I've passed you on my way to work last summer.

Actually I really want do up my other Celica in a similar fashion...

[EG6boi]

Saw your ride again today at MRU. Looks bad ass with the bike rack haha

[ExtraSlow]

UPDATE

Sorry it's been a while since I've updated.
Had lots of trouble with Stella 2 driving in the winter and having it so low in Calgary haha.
First off: My exhaust basically split in two pieces cause it scraped away haha



B: I love the look of the S13 blast pipes so I found a set to fit onto my car. They looked pretty sick and sounded super beast. LOVED IT!



...

Lasted about 3 hours of driving.. Drove over the smallest Calgary Transit track and it caught the flange and tore off the exhuast... Yes I did see it fly off in my rear mirrior... Got out to get the exhaust, turn around and I saw this...



So I took off the axle back and mid pipe.


Thirdly: Heading to Medicine Hat to get some parts. No one could lend me a car big enough to fit what I was buying (youll see). So I took the GTR into freezing slippery rain... an hour into the ride... the test pipe decided to go as well haha.


3 hours after that, I arrived at the house. Figures that the exhuast was WAAAAAY to long... This was my way of getting it home..


3.5 hours going home... I encountered a problem.. You know those rocks and ice from cars wheel wells? Yes, I call them land mines cause my lip hits them and it explodes. But this time it split my lip in two and caught under my car...
Then I look in the trunk cause it was open ish... I think I made a snow mountain in there for miniature military toys haha.

But anyways, this is what I picked up:
- T88 33D Turbo
- HKS wastegate
- HKS filters with z32 MAF
- T4 headers (Im going to get a full race one)
- Custom welded Turbo elbow thanks to Chris from Unobtanium
- Custom welded 4" Aluminum exhaust from Unobtanium
- Tuned ECU

Looks incredible dude!! Surprised I just saw this thread, we exchanged waves (95' jdm sti) on Crowchild a week ago iirc Wednesday while I was heading to MRU.

Think you got off at the exit just before me. Sounded killer!

[monkee_pride]

Sounded killer cause the exhaust wasn't on HAHA but yes I do remember you haha, gotta love the WHITE AWD cars!

[DeleriousZ]

Damn man, rolling hard. Props!

I know it's pricy as fuck, but maybe this would help with some clearance issues:

[monkee_pride]

Hahaha, I always told all my friends, if I love the car that I build, I will drive it every day of the year haha. I've always loved slammed cars and a fast GTR, so I have decided to DD the slammed one haha. I have all these things that have happened to the car already but I feel like its what gives the car a name and some character haha. Here is a list of what has happened since I bought it in Feb of 2011 for Stella2

- Hit a curb and bent front lower control arm
- Had it towed to the shop at school and someone threw a huge rock at the hood and windhshield

- Had so much camber it split the rear lower control arm in half

- Drilled roof for roof rack, a week later, forgot bike was on roof and drove into garage, breaking the rack
- Got cut off in traffic to a emergency stop and rear ended
(my custom headlight before)


- A week later, thief broke driver side window and stole my deck plus my DSLR


- 3 weeks ago, tire unseated the bead, cracked the rim



- Last week, exhaust scraped away and broke in half
- Installed blast pipes and it got caught, tore my bumper
- Hit a land mine and blew up my front lip
- Hauled exhaust, trunk was open so I had a snow mountain inside.

most that I can remember up to now haha, but shes one tough cookie

[monkee_pride]

Add being side swiped by an ambulance hahaha

[Skidro]
