It all began with this. One standard-looking 1989 Nissan Cefiro, meek and mild in it’s stock form. Being an excellent rear-wheel-drive platform for building a formidable drift machine, Ian King set out with the goal of turning it into one of the most unique rides you could ever find in the planet!
Here’s the car… errr… pickup or ute, whichever way you call it where you’re at in the world, in its pickup form:
And for a shakedown run, what better way than to take it out to do what it was built for – drifting!
After acquiring an R33 GTR Front clip, RB26DETT from an R32 Skyline, and R33 Skyline Gearbox, everything was bolted together into this fine concoction called the R33 GTR Ute – the only one in the world.
See the R33 GTR Ute in action, drifting and playing with a couple of BMWs, including Ian’s E39 M5 at the Batangas Racing Circuit:

I came across this while taking a break from facebook. I think you’re on to some good info here.
Thanks!
I’m going to coat-tail on what “Very Evolved” said… The way you connect to your audience is… Know who you are writing to. You need to pick a Target Audience and stick to them. You wouldn’t write to an audience of 14yr olds the same way you would write to an audience of 60yr olds.
Hi Ovel! Yes you are right. Cheers mate!
That is very sublime stuff. Never new that beliefs could be this varied. Thanks for all the enthusiasm to extend such helpful information at this site.
I totally go along you! I have often felt that way but nobody really would like to take it as seriously as we do apparently. Excellent blog anyway, I am going to have to stop by more frequently.
Congratulations for the brilliant blog posting! I found your post very interesting, I think you are a brilliant writer. I added your blog to my bookmarks and will return in the future. I want to encourage you to continue that marvelous work, have a great daytime!
