I have been friends with Yusuke for quite some time now from when he was running the Silvia. In this post, we will be discussing his “4Door S13” and the back story of how it began. It has become popular worldwide but especially having interest in the U.S. I figured people would enjoy how it became and what it is now and since he is running an Executive Eleven sticker, I couldn’t help myself! lol
Around six years ago, Yusuke had the idea of creating a 4door S13 using an R32 as the base. He thought it was such a cool idea but since he had his Silvia and was maintaining it, he didn’t have the funds to start the project. In 2015, Silvia’s motor blew up so it gave him the perfect timing to start the 4door S13 process! He started searching Yahoo Japan for cars and engines. He originally was going to use an RB25DET but since that has been done before, and “boring”, he decided to go with an RB26DETT. Time went by and he found the perfect RB26 and a month after he found the perfect base R32. If you’ve been following the process for long enough, you’ll remember when it was in the black 4door S13 stage. At the time, I had thought that was as far as he was going to take it. Having not only full S13 exterior conversion but also interior conversion! At the time, I was blown away at the craftsmanship. Even then, I thought the car was really cool but what I didn’t know is how far he would take it!
