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.

Sometimes planning things in advance don’t always pan out the way you hoped for, which is exactly what happened with a few of the shoots I had hoped to have setup for the Round 1 event. But when building a car to meet a deadline things can go either one of two ways, and unfortunately some of the cars I had booked weren’t able to make it to the event. Recently I heard these other cars are finishing up and I cant wait to get them up on here for you all to see, but fortunately for me there somehow is always a silver lining – maybe I’m just lucky? This is where Younis’s S13 stepped in to be a part of the Round 1 feature cars, I seriously need to make it to more of these!
