“I OWN this 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T Series 1.
5, which I purchased as a rough drift car and restored to a clean OEM+ street car. As part of that, it had a closed-door respray, for which I did 70-plus hours of paint prep myself. It's also had a stack of mechanical work done, and has been tuned to make a safe 330rwhp on 15psi. It does so with the help of a Kinugawa TD06 turbo, HKS Hi-Power exhaust, ARP head studs and metal head gasket, GReddy front-mount intercooler, Nismo 550cc injectors, a Deatschwerks DW200 fuel pump, Splitfire coil packs, an A'PEXi cold-air intake and a Nistune ECU. Other cool bits include coil-overs, HICAS lockout bar, chrome SSR SP1 wheels, a Nismo old-logo dash cluster, full Type-M bodykit, rare factory-option Momo steering wheel and so on. I've put a lot of work into this car, most of which isn't glaringly obvious, but if it's not noticeable, then I've done my job!” BODHI SHEPPARD
VP COMMODORE VACATIONER
