Welcome to Pixel Car Art

[Vicent M.]

hi everyone, I will structurate this post in two parts.

the first one is like a goodbye letter or an apologise letter.

i would like to apologise to everyone in the forum, ive been a big faggot in the last months/years, turned friends into enemies. I though it was kinda fun, at a first moment it was, trolling for fun but ive realised that my problem is that I cant make jokes without getting people offended. I know some of the s**t Ive said was unnecessary and useless and attacked people that didnt do anything to me, well nobody did it.

I dont want to make it too long because I dont know what to say more about this, just sorry, I know my blame.

the second one is to introduce my, yes, my car.

After saving some money in the last months, working as much as I could, as you may see my inactivity lately, ive decided that I need a car, Ive also wanted it, but mom said that Ive needed a car, so I started looking for ads. I had things clear, i wanted a japanese car, with some funny engine.

My first car-hunting were Hondas, seen all of them, Civic ESi, Preludes, Accord, Legends... All of them in a good shape and not too expensive, we are talking about 1500 euros.
After seeing that all of them were expensive, Ive started looking for other japanese brands, like Nissan or Suzuki.

So, the next one was a Pulsar VZR or the Almera GTi in Spain, I found one that was in 1900 and the day I called was 1500 euros, that was perfect for me, 140.000kms and 1 owner, sunroof and black color. The day I was going to buy it after talking to the owner, he said that he sold it, WITHOUT TELLING ME FIRST. Good for me that I didnt make a 400kms trip for a non-existent Almera.

My friends girlfriend found me another Nissan, it was powered by the same engine as the Almera GTi, Sunny GTi, and N/A Silvias, the SR20DE. This one was offered in 1900 euros, 108.000 kms and everything original and working, so i went to see it, it was 1 hour from home. Car was amazing, sunroof working, engine was cool, no weird noises and such. When I was going to take it weve found that the rear had an important crash, we realised it because of the floor.

Ive found another one, same price but had the head burnt, so It was a no. Then I found a red one, it was offered in 1500 but the owner told me that I would work on it so it was 1400. When I was going to buy it, I found a better one, it was 1700 but then turnt 1600, the owner was going to give me a set of tires and a radio with it.

After talking to him and WITHOUT seeing the car, mom and I took the 406 and we were going to make a 1000kms trip in a day, Ondara to Sabadell (Barcelona) and Sabadell to home, in total 970kms.

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/zPQwcSb.jpg)

To be honest, I wasnt sure about that, it was too far from home and the money that you can ´´lose´´ but thinking it well, its better than lose 150 euros in petrol and highway tolls, than losing 1700 euros on a bad car, so lets go to Sabadell! The 406 went amazing, 257.000kms and still going like the first day...

We arrived and then we went to Burguer King to ate something and then, we went to see what could be MY car.
At first sight it looked good, some body stuff but thats normal, in spain we done have people driving, we have pigeons.

Went for a test drive and when Ive tried to negotiate the price he didnt wanted to, because he had another possible buyer, so I was not going to argue. It was mine, my first car.

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/ekVArtk.jpg)

At this moment I was... omg its mine.

And then...

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/M7oaEqn.jpg)

The return trip was terrible, 4 hours of intense rain (pics dont show it)

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/GMUuDry.jpg)

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/KLuxor3.jpg)

And then, at 23h in the night weve arrived home!

Ladies and gentleman, here I introduce you my first car,

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/GEqVGv2.jpg)
(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/zJg4Wbb.jpg)

This is a Nissan Primera, P11 gen, its exactly the GT model, the one that comes with Sport Suspension, sunroof, and leather interior. Comes with 205 tires and SR20DE. This unit was bought in the 1997, its got 173.000kms and everything is working.

Never though I would buy it this quickly, but Im very happy with it, its just different of what I use to see or drive everyday...

I hope you take my apologies and enjoy reading the trip as I did doing it and writing it.

Cheers!

I always liked you Vicent. I just found you brutally honest/ weren't afraid to voice your opinion.

Congrats on the new car! your story reminds me very much of how I got my car. Almost identical just switch the cars out.

[Sir KV]

Funny how You bashed someone for getting a sr20de and You have one yourself now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

Anyways nice find, cool spoiler

[JoviBlue]

Awesome dude! I remember you telling me you were after an almera/primera, nice work it looks in great shape!

[Thor]

I see two good thing about your purchase.. Not French and not diesel.. Good job..

[TribalThunder]

Makes me wanna buy a car, cool story.

[Daniel.]

Nice! I almost bought an Almera GTI the other day!

Enjoy your new car buddy!

Thanks man, its good to read that after everything!

Also thanks! It was kinda fun and scary, now I look at it and its weird, one year ago I was riding a bicycle and now ive got an SR20 powered Primera, wow

Funny how You bashed someone for getting a sr20de and You have one yourself now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

Yeah man, thats why I apologised.

Thanks man!

Awesome dude! I remember you telling me you were after an almera/primera, nice work it looks in great shape!

Yeah mate, it was a black Almera but the guy sold it... Glad we have cars now!

I see two good thing about your purchase.. Not French and not diesel.. Good job..

Well, at the beginning I was going to buy a diesel, and another french, but then I started thinking, started looking for GSis or 306 GTIs and then I realised again that I want a japanese car, and now Ive got the money to buy one, so why not?

Thanks man!

Makes me wanna buy a car, cool story.

Yeah you should, its something new to me, feeling is weird, you see at the car and you say, wow thats mine, my car. I cant believe how it changed my life, the people sees me in a different way, specially my mom, she knows that I worked very hard for it and she see the Primera like something Ive deserved for ages, and she is very proud of that tbh.

Nice! I almost bought an Almera GTI the other day!

Enjoy your new car buddy!

Please, If you can buy one!

Thanks man... <3

Ive got a few plans for it, I will clean it tomorrow and I will try to take some pictures, of the exterior, interior and engine, engine specially needs a very clean.

Also Ive been testing it the other night with a friend, having a look to the specs we are talking about 200kg less than the 406 and 40hp more than the 406. Its really really fast and how it takes the corners is just amazing, never seen something that stable... The fuel consumption is 7.5 I would say, I did 540kms with 40 liters, 490kms were with 4 tires in the trunk lol

[Sir KV]

It's all good bro, were all car nuts in the end anyways (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

[Deecor]

Alright guys!

The first thing is the remote control renewal, the sticker was unreadable, so I scanned it and drawn it from scratch, helped with the reference pictures, then I made the real sticker.

too much for these roads, I plan for something simple, 90s jap styled

At the moment im looking for the GT Aero Bumper, which is lower than mine, also hood vents from the GT. In the future I will change the exhaust and Ill be looking for a set of Advan AVS6 in a good size.

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/7RDwcO5.jpg)

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy man

[Vicent M.]

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/lXkYVNF.jpg)

do not try at home, or try but dont call cops okay
(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/8CA2m9n.jpg)

and bought this,
(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/x1oG8ot.jpg)

I will change it this week, I plan to buy NGK Iridium spark plugs, and for mods I would like to buy a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, 2,5'' or 2,75'' entire exhaust line, the final will be bigger though.

thoughts?

Tomei Exhaust for mad jdm points

[Noodles]

2.75 is abit big for a non turbo, id go 2.25 max

[Vicent M.]

Tomei Exhaust for mad jdm points

I would love to, and Tomei Poncams, but being honest parts are expensive as f**k, specially when you have to import them. I was going to buy a Fujitsubo exhaust but it is more worth than the car, and it would took months to save. For the moment I will do basic maintenance, I found in RHDJapan.com an HKS Air Filter and NISMO STune spark plugs for 98 shipping included. Also I will make a call for a GT bumper, but If I dont find one, I may give a try at AUTECH bumper.

My birthday was a busy day, but I finally spent 2 hours in cleaning the GT, outside and inside, my mate Martin took this awesome picture of it
(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/6gAXEZe.jpg)

I love the P11 rear being honest

[Vicent M.]

So the car is finally insured at my name is on the papers. Ill be getting air filter and spark plugs next week. Also there is something that will come tomorrow I hope.

I need your help. Ive made a kind of factory sticker I would like to apply to the door, could you help me choose one??
(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/Hag1WgT.png)
I think I will make the first one.

[Thom]

nice car!

#2 for me

[Daniel.]

First one!

[Stefan.]

first one, but make the 1 and 6 closer, and the same with the V and the A

if this is derailing i am a unicorn

This post has been edited by Stefan.: Jul 2 2015, 04:11 PM

[Sir KV]

[Vicent M.]

I am between the first one and second one but,

Finally

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/Al10FE3.jpg)

Also ill be getting a new air filter and iridium spark plugs next week.

[Andrew.]

[Vicent M.]

hi oh

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/P4zmnUq.jpg)

[Stefan.]

daamn, it looks very nice

[Faяaп.]

That bumper barely does anything for me. It's basically the same as your stock one..
But it's your car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

[Vicent M.]

almost 1 month without refreshing it

well, the car its pretty awesome, drives well, its fast and my economy is still fine lol

Ill be quick because I dont want to write an story. The car had oil changed, changed spark plugs for iridium ones, also had an air and oil filter change. Yesterday Ive ordered 4 liters of gearbox oil and it should be here on Monday, so Ill be changing it this week.

I have aero plans, they are rims and an exhaust.

[Vicent M.]

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/9AMLj0m.jpg)

oh hey

[Noodles]

nice liquids

[Vicent M.]

:

nice liquids

Being honest, I worked hard for have it, so I keep working hard to give the car all the best. Mechanics told me to put normal brand oils "since is the same and cheaper" but ive said a huge no, car makes me happy enough to put quality stuff. Personal satisfaction maybe?

Exhaust should come tomorrow or thursday.

[Vicent M.]

Delivery man came today, as some of you seen on Facebook,

[Vicent M.]

Whoa that's a big exhaust haha

Do you have any plans to install an aftermarket rear bumper?

not really, never seen good aftermarket stuff. My plans are exhaust, wheels and suspension. I have seen a few sets of wheels in Japan since there is only reps in Spain.

Daniel you deffo need it.

not bad actually
(IMG:http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ucXBK6NCoZU/hqdefault.jpg)

[Cristóbal]

[Vicent M.]

i went a bit crazy on the SR20 game

Ive been asking about it, and there are only 4 engines in the whole country, two are getting built, one is built but broken down, and the last one, is mine
(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/DDpe8qD.jpg)
(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/O1V7gFJ.jpg)

this little gem comes with an SR20VE (the one with NeoVVL and 190hp) Also comes with Evo IX Brembo brakes, Accord Type R seats, metal brakelines, lightweight Braid rims with RE050 in front and Kumho in the rear, JDM heads and a few more goodies

[Kamillo194]

Wowowowowowowo really nice car. I had an p10 gt with sr20de for few months and dreamed of sr20ve, great engine.

You should put jdm taillights and bumpers like that:
(IMG:http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/3437/3261/21091630009_large.jpg)
It would be killer then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)

Yeah P10s are a the next homework. I would like to try a Phase I eGT. SR20VE is damn cool, never thought it would sound like a monster.

About that Wagon, well, yeah, alrready gots tails, just need the Autech bumper but not for now...
