My daily drifter - Irish R33 Skyline

[LaMaR-]

Back to put my input,

Peden, great build man. Everything you have accomplished thus far looks great and fits the drift scene that is around now. The wheels might be much for the actual drifting but I also dont see you drifting alot on them. I see you swapping them out during the competitions.. forgive me if im wrong.

All the beemer people on here complaining, Some are saying theres no performance here yet, if you read through the thread theres already been a bunch of suspension work done, which is one of the biggest upgrades when it comes to getting the rear end out and controlling it. Followed by seats, harnesses, comfort stuff.

And the last of this long post. I am currently in Japan, I have been for 4 months and still have another 2 months. When he says this is the ugly brother, he isnt kidding, If you go look the R32 and R34 are much better looking, But he is putting the time in to improve the looks and its obviously something he wants to do, We arnt building this car he is....


Keep up the great work Peden and personnally I cant wait to see whats to come.

Great stuff going on over here!!

The wheels are SSR's and a lot of works are not forged

I did not post what I did to offend you which apparently I did, I was simply stating that you obviously have put a lot of money into a car that I THINK looked great from the get go, I get that it is not a completed car, but I don't need to be a professional drifter to be able to imagine what your car will look like after paint.

I come from the world of OEM+ at best when it comes to body styling and look, and a whole other world in terms of performance. Up to this point when I look at your car I see someone slapping a bunch of plastic body parts and a set of 32 pound wheels, that I am sure are great for drifting. Nor have I see a single post about you doing anything to the performance of this car, and don't try and tell me the plastic pieces on the fenders are doing anything in terms of performance because I am not going to by it.

The bottom line is that you didn't make a blog about the build of your skyline, you posted on an open forum where you are open for criticism and critiques, I think if you looked around on S|W you would see that the majority of us arn't driving around in cars that look like this...

im confused, maybe some of the trendy follower BMW guys dont get the JDM thing. i didnt read all of this, but even if some of the parts arent jdm bodykits, and just fiberglass, it looks like all the legit reall ass JDM cars i do see in super street. most of the sjylines have wide ass body parts and wide ass wheels. since u dont know, the wheels look like "Work" brand wheels, i may be wrong but im sure they are definitly multi-piece forged wheels, not some cheap heavy chrome ghetto wheels. some people put VIP wheels on non-VIP platforms bu thats cool with me makes us all different. i like seeing people switch things up, and if i had this car yeah i woulda left the stock body parts but i also like the epic-ness of this build.

not singling you out, some people can like or dislike, but the things u said about it are just politically incorrect about the parts and stuff thats all.

SLAM THIS THING I LOVE THESE!!!

After reading this thread, I'm not sure where the issue is.

I'd slide the fuck out of that car at every corner, intersection, and driveway exit guaranteed. Hell, keep the chromies on it too, fuck it. Looks like a plain-Jane fuckin' Skyline, big whoop.

Do work son, keep doing YOUR shit. Fuck ******.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm wanna see this with a shitload of camber.

Note taken, no more opinions from me

Again in no way am I trying to offend anyones personal tastes or styles, but in an open forum I feel like you should be able to give critiques just as much as you can give compliments. I can see there is a lot of hard work put into the car here, I hope it turns out to be everything you hope it to be

One thing I never understood about people like you is why you insist on commenting on something you just don't like... You say you only like clean cars, then you must not have been around many drift cars.

Back to it... Fibreglass boot lid and doors ordered

Christ, so much **** for a damn bodykit. Get over it.

Conscious that this will probably only make you want to share your opinion further... here goes.

If your able to go back to the start for a sec...."Right so my Mission: Change people's oppinions on R33's..." I'm not making a VIP car.. Or a "racecar", I am however improving what is know as the ugly brother of the skylines... If you must know though, the car is driven Every day.. And will be brought on track and used by me... A professional drifter.

Pretty simple statement, no? I'm confused as to where you got the idea that this is a race car? It wasn't great to start with.... Why have you modified your BMW or that other thing? To be different?

Moving on.. The car isn't even painted yet, this is a project thread... I,e, not yet finished, I believe in showing what you are doing as you are doing it... And not make up stories after........ All is here for people to see - lines will be taken care of before paint.

Ricer? Im not from America "bro" so feel free to elaborate here, preferably in English.

Again I'm not american and have only ever passed by Compton on the way to lax.. But you seem to know the area.. So tell me how many sets of 10,5" front / 12" rear SSR Agle Strusse's you see when there... Feel free to take some time on this one, no pressure

Gone to work on my car..

I can see that the car is being built, but that's kind of besides the point- it's not a "daily drifter" so much as a "project car" at this point.

Just seems kind of like an odd title for something that isn't a "daily" anything besides a daily project. Now, if it said "My Skyline Drift car build" or something to that extent, I could maybe follow it.

what part of Daily driver being built in to a Drifter are you all having trouble comprehending

[Peden249]

this is so awesome

Thanks dude, loving your signature.. Is it just a gif??

i think where some poeple maybe get hung up is that your under the impression that this car is ugly or needs big fenders to make it look better. this car from most people heres(this forum) viewpoint needs nothing aesthetically but a drop and some fitment to be all-time. its a fucking skyline!!!!

i think that some of the cars that you think are in the same catagory as yours need wide bodies and big fenders and what not. i.e sc300/soarer, 240sx/silvias, all other somewhat dildo shaped cars i cant think of... but those cars arent really in the same catagory, but from your perspective maybe you think they are b/c they are available to you. so hence the kit/ ..maybe...just a thought could be wrong.

and you dont have be american to be ricer. thats shits a unverisal term implying that ill fitting and ill quality kits/wings/ and rims have been used on any car anywhere.

btw none of this is meant to bash you or your build, just explaining...

Very well put and good point all around, perhaps something I just haven't thought of - I get the ricer comments now, thanks for the explanation.. It's being built, if I had posted it up as complete and still silly gaps then fine, fair enough...

That said, this car is NOT being built as a show winner...... It will not be entered in a show and shine.... It will be driven, hard ..and had fun with on track, thats all that matters
