Greetings, and salutations!
« on: Jun 20, 2008, 05:55PM »
My first post, after been hanging around the threads for quite some time.
Name is Himi, nick of darahhitam means blackblood, with respect to my strong interest (since the age of eight) in Metal music.  :D

I currently drive a 1996 Nissan U13, MDM, with some JDM add-ons.
My other ride (weekend thrashing ride) is a Proton/Mitsubishi.
Former ride is a Proton too, but that is when I was in Newcastle (that's Newcastle in UK, Land of the Geordies, 96-99)
Am attached to education institution now (and since 2000), and by July 1st, will be attached to one of Australian University local campus here, in Malaysia.

For my rides, more can be found here: http://www.cardomain.com/id/darahhitam

Am also a regular in local nissan forum (http://nismoclub.6.forumer.com), general auto-enthusiasts forum (http://www.zerotohundred.com & http://www.autoworld.com.my) plus some obscure ones as well.  ;D
I'm on the facebook too.   :D

Cheers.

Some snapshots of my main ride.




Latest project I did was to have the rear glass with wiper installed. MDM doesn't come with rear wiper.

Sadly we don't have a winter season here, just a year-long (humid) summer with tropical rain during monsoon season.  :D
But yeah, it works perfectly esp when driving off to work early morning, clearing the mist, fallen leaves and whatnot.  ;D

Hey Budgie, are you in bluebirdcarclub.co.nz? Your nick seems awfully familiar...

Budgie, really? No wonder my postings have note been replied in ages!

Ammerty, thanks, the grille is a stock Series 2, but sprayed black  ;D
All MDM Bluebird/Altima SSS came with a boring Series 1 grille.

Drift Princess, you drive a Daihatsu? Plenty of those (rebadged ones) here in Malaysia. (Toyota)Passo/(Daihatsu)Boon/Mira/Cuore/Terios.

Welcome to ANTRX and wow its taken you almost 2 years to put your first post! crazy!

Ive been on these forums off and on for the last 5 years.. and i keep coming back haha.. its a really good place to get knowledge on your car with the tech sections and for sale sections. I generally love it here. I however no longer own a TRX but am still as loyal as i can be to ANTRX.

Jazzie,
I have even forgotten that I've actually registered to this forum a couple of years ago, until I realized the nick has been registered.  ;D

Could be registering last time to gain the access to the photos and whatnot. Man, my U13 could've been a "virgin" by then.   :P

Yeah, I've to several forums and a number of them stood out, really. While a number of then just swallows the whole thing (read: too many mixed up posts between models, up to the point you can't even find what you want, even with the search button), or just plain unfriendly and hostile.
I think that's not the case here right?
What happened to bluebirdcarclub.co.nz actually? Any particular reason why it's dying down, a slow death?

Will do, and I believe a couple of 'em are already here, maybe just a silent "reader".  ;D

And here's some shots of the U13 that made it to the local car mag, months after the first owner sold it off.  :P
It was "comprehensively" done, inside out (minus the 4WD) with the guy ordering the entire HNU13 from Japan, cut into half - well, that's the regulation here, or else, the price will be triple fold with the tax and whatnot.
He swapped in Pulsar's SR20DET though, and sold off the existing SR20DET.
Now the car has been sold to another guy who's not in the forum - and it suddenly come up in a magazine!

Everything else is JDM, except for rear lip, it was taken from Ceffy A32.

Just to share some close ups of the custom hood.
No, it's not CF.

None of the U13 here uses CF, same goes to U12, but a number of 'em customize it, with add-on vents/scoops, etc and had it sprayed black or "CF weavin' colour". It costs bloody expensive to have on here, or worse to order from the States. Lucky 93-97 States model have plenty of aftermarket options.





Foot note: The shiny, autoshow-level neat, clean rides are mostly weekend rides for most of these guys, while the plain janes commonly belong to those who use it daily to/from work.

That includes myself.  ;D

 :D

I couldn't agree more. Even with S2 rear end, considering the S2 rear bumper + end caps is already less crappy, IMO.
Could be the way the back end just going lower and lower like a Hyena. It helps with the aerodynamics (and space) I suppose. What's the Cd for the U13? 0.34? The 2nd gen altima is 0.32.
 

here's a shot of the S2 endcap+bumper.  ;D

1 of the 2 U13s had new headlights fitted to theirs from Sonar.



Mine has been DIY-polished like nobody's business, to prevent it from "yellowing" - it doesn't help when my new workplace has no sheltered carparks. 

AUDM all comes with glass headlamps right?

Apparently there are much much more U12s than U13s on the Malaysian road..  it just happens that I'm a U13 user so I tend to post up U13 pics.. ;D

Shall post some good-looking U12s if I come across one.
