Newera's Other Weapon, the.......................
Took to the highway's late today and headed up to Shizuoka to visit with Miguel from Newera Imports.
At first I thought he was nuts for leaving the metro area, but now come to think of it, possibly the best choice to make. Big city life gets hectic and expensive after awhile and its nice to know, even in country's like Japan, that there are large savings to be made when living in the country side. And then there are the bonuses for petrol heads alike. Two minutes away from one of the finest F1 tracks in the world, Fuji Speedway. And for the brave, minutes from some of the nicest touge roads on this side of Japan. Could this be bliss? Enough rambling, time to share a special car. Photos are small and small for good reason. Car's still being prepped and DCD will be rounding up a nice set once photographed properly. The E30 M3. Hand picked and rebuilt to Newera Race Specs. The Spec: TBA The photo's including old man postal Japan!

i remember when i first went out to japan about 3 years ago now, when miguel first picked this M3 up it was so so clean, then he decided (as he always does  ) that he wanted more out of it...the spec is mental, and includes some handywork from JUN i believe  his "dream garage" is slowly getting there

Thanks guys for the compliments above. Thanks to you too Adam... was great having you over last night.
Adam you know moving to Fuji makes sense... You're only 40 mins down the road, so just move closer! M3's still work in progress. Late last night I was out mapping it and was pleased with the results, not sure I'll have the stamina to complete it tonight, maybe tommorow... Definitely goes well even with the wheezy standard exhaust - which I need to keep on until the Shaken's done. Once that's over, off comes the standard system with the cats and hello DTM single rear silencer system...  I'll also re-map then where necessary. Mapping's fun. When all done it should make good power and sound even better  The engine's been full built for high revs and top end biassed power right down to an alloy flywheel weighing less than 5kg. 2 way carbon ATS diff with lower final drive mated with the standard dog leg close ratio box and other goodies switched for originals, but there's still quite a bit more to be done to brakes, suspension and detailing for the interior too before I can say it's, er.... done  It will be a road car primarily. .... I'm waiting to hear if I can get "Fuji . . . 3" as the reg number to go with "Fuji . . . 7" and "Fuji . . 86". It's only 4,250 Yen per set of custom plates as long as the number's available, so it's rude not to, hehehe... All being well, it will make it's maiden voyage to Tokyo next Wednesday for the monthly GTROC meet. Some believe the E30 M3's fenders and rear wing were the inspiration for the styling of the BNR32. That's a good enough excuse to go meet GT-R owners with it, hehe.

Your Bee-R skirts arrived to the paintshop today mate - so the car can finally get it's makeover next week and be ready to ship. (Anybody for some nice Abflug skirts and spats (BNR32)? Contact Matty 32!) Did an oil change on the M3 today - mapping again tonight.. Damn the rain, I don't fancy setting WOT on a sodden wet highway...  Don't like keeping on buying new filters for it either (We ought to buy shares in oil with the amount of changes I do lol... ). Was thinking there's probably microscopic bits of swarf floating around the oil following the rebuild. If available for this car I'm going to fit a dismantleable oil filter with magnetic trap for it (Excellent pieces of high quality kit - great for keeping an eye on engine wear, so particles can be analysed, etc) we offered some before but a few fools mumbled about cheap filters being better value, etc. Shame, they missed out).Option Magazine (Japan) has heard news of this M3 and they want to shoot it too, now. We're building a VERY special AE86 full race car for a mad petrol head customer, right down to a JUN billet crank, etc. Will be the best AE86 in Europe, without a doubt. I'll post some pics in a new thread soon. It's in little pieces having the entire shell seam welded at the mo.. DCD will no doubt point his lenz at it in due course...
