Back in April I tagged along with some friends to San Antonio for our first “Day of Drift” event held at the San Antonio Raceway. It’s a pretty chill event, a place for the guys to go and hone in their skills on the track, and a good way for me to stay on top of my game – photography wise. I noticed Scotts car right away, who wouldn’t? In a motorsport where the 240 platform seems to dominate, its pretty rare you see a RHD daily driven Skyline on the track. I knew I was going to have to talk with him at the next event…and obviously you know how that goes, its now been 4 months later and I finally got a chance to set this up!

I think its always important to have some kind of a plan when it comes to tackling a car build, and this goes for the bigger pictures of life too; but this isn’t that sort of blog and I’m no where near qualified to even go down that road. Carlos’s S13 has been another “feature in the making” for a while now, and for whatever reason I continue to surround myself with people that make good on their word – and a short year later here we are with this V8 swapped S13 that remained faithful to its import roots.
