Hey there guy and girls just posting up some pick’s of my recently completed D1NZ Onevia drift Ute built in only 6 weeks to a high standard we have been flat out after normal working hours to get the massive job done. I started with a standard s13 shell with small panel damage to the right rear ¼ cut the roof, c pillar and boot lid, then cut out an old un-compliable roll cage. I then started to fabricate the sides of the tray and rear of the cab, This took a lot longer than I had anticipated to get the wheel arches shaped up nicely. Once I had all the pieces I then started to fabricate the roll cage with guidance from the boys @ Dynopower in Tauranga, once completed it was simple to install the prefabricated panels and weld in place. A short time later we were ready together moving by dropping the standard sub frames and replacing them with the ones from my 07 D1NZ 180sx as they already had the aftermarket arms TEIN coilovers and pressed nolothane bushes. A cefero front sub frame was used to accommodate a rb25det standard package for decent torque and reliable factory power tidy up a little by removing unnecessary lines and wires, this is bolted up to a rebuilt factory rb25det 5 speed manual gearbox via an autoclucth carbon-Kevlar arrangement.

I'd love to thank all the boys for the effort they put in , street pro kits for the wide kit and bonnet , nexen for the tires over the last 2 seasons, Mag and turbo tauranga for the tire fitting and alignments , Autolighn for Tein's, Dynopower tauranga for tuning and use of the workshop, True colors race graphics, My Dad Craig especially for the endless support, advice and extraordinary effort helping out! I couldn't be where I am today without all of you!
