In this episode of Donut, we witness Jimmy's ambitious quest to turn his pristine 1990 Nissan Sylvia into a real-life Initial D sensation. With a burning passion for Japanese automotive culture, Jimmy sets out to modify his Sylvia with wheels, suspension upgrades, and a new limited-slip differential. The team at Pro Shop Noble, led by the experienced Kyle, assists Jimmy in this transformation, showcasing their expertise in the automotive realm.

As Jimmy delves into the intricate process of upgrading his Sylvia, he faces challenges such as the need to replace the open differential with a more precise 1.5-way limited slip differential. Despite setbacks like the diff not fitting and exhaust pipe size discrepancies, Jimmy remains undeterred in his mission. His dedication to achieving the perfect balance between performance and aesthetics is truly commendable.

With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for iconic Japanese racing history, Jimmy meticulously selects Nismo LM GT wheels for his Sylvia, adding a touch of authenticity to his build. The installation of custom billet aluminum center caps further elevates the visual appeal of the wheels. Despite the hurdles encountered along the way, Jimmy's determination and unwavering passion for automotive excellence shine through, making this journey a testament to his love for the craft.
