Lower Than Shakotan Part 2: S30Z-G Nose

Ok in the first "lower than shakotan" we brought you Raees' Hakosuka. Well he is back with this sick olive drab S30Z-G Nose that is packed with plenty of muscle to burn some serious rubber. This Hasegawa kit comes as a curbside kit, meaning that it comes with out an engine. That also means that there is no engine detail under that hood. That did not stop Raees from stuffing a mean looking RB26 with a snail the size to suck in baby birds or a kitten. There is plenty of goodies stuffed in there, like a Cusco style oil catch can, braided lines and a monster sized intercooler peeking out of the bumperless front end. The plow like chin spoiler is so low that I doubt it will be cruising around a mall parking lot. Along with the plow spoiler it has fender flares for stuffing those deep SSR Formula mesh wheels with Hippari style tires under the wheel arches. Not one for leaving them shiny, he decided to do them in black. I just gives it a menacing "I'm gonna get you sucka" look. On the inside you will find a clean and subtle environment, well other than a pair of Ferrari seats to hold you in while you blast along the wangan. Slammed with a clean stance and a bit of Oni-kyan in the rear, you can't help but to stare.


Some words from Raess.

Builder Spotlight: RAK PT.1

RAK, now where do I begin to describe this mans creativity??? Awesome is one word, but not enough to describe it, unique is another.....hmmm, how about exquisite. every detail that is he puts into his builds seems to be premeditated. grease, dirt, grime, oil and fuel stains and weathering is meticulously added to the surfaces of the chassis, valve covers and body panels. his building stlye is a mix of grundge and shakotan with a touch of nostalgia. here, I'll let you take a look at what he has to offer.

Nostalgic syle Tamiya Honda S800

Shakotan style CRX??

Nissan 260Z clean build with L26 under the hood.

Honda race car just drips with grim...lols

This Tamiy NSX with JGTC body has a boro wangan racer look. I love it.

NORI YARO shout out!

Now these 2 Hakosukas are just sick.

This one has a Nissan V8 from the Tamiya Nissan R89C kit. looks mean with the wide fender arches and deep offset Watanabe RS. deffinitly something you don't want to see in your rearview mirror.

The RED Hako has a special treat under this metallic gray hood.

Yes, that is an RB26 from an R32 Skyline.

Not only does it have the RB26, it also has the ATTESA-ETS system. how cool is that??

Skooter anyone?? pretty sweet. this one is part of a build that he currently has going.

Thanks for reading.
