Forums Forums Dave100e : Nissan S13 200SX

Got new wheels and a sextoy gearlever. Fronts just for now, off to get new tyres for the rears some time tommorow. Rear wheels are silver so i might get them painted to match the fronts. I even got a spare too, still in its bubble wrap!

Liking the wheels a lot.

Wheels look much better Dave matey

Fitted the rears now too, and new rubber all round. 215/45/17's up front and 225/45/17's out back, a long way from the 155's i had on the 100e!

These wheel sit in the arches so much better then the old ones, im made up and the car is slowly becoming more personal and the way i want it. Im going to spend money on general upkeep next, and then ill be saving for a tubular manifold, external wastegate, screamer pipe and depending on the state of the turbo when it comes off a rebuild / change for a different hybrid so i can fit bigger injectors and go for more boost. Its a long way away though, just a plan for now.

Looking better matey

What power you looking for Dave.

Also DONT BUY XSPOWER manifold japspeed do a good one you can get it from driftworks its the one i'll be getting

Something in the region of 350 brake. Ive been told my turbo should be just about up to it and all id need is a tubular manifold and 550cc injectors. But i could need a standalone ecu, and if i do, ill just leave it at what it makes in the end.

I was looking at the japspeed one. I saw a secondhand Apexi one i think, but id rather buy new as i dont fancy a manifold thats cracked and been welded 4 hundred times before and you dont know the history.

did you set up your boost controller mate?

are you actually running maximum boost for your setup??...there might be some free horsepowers in there for you!!

Your prob going to need a custom map aswell matey

As for power Chris's cars about 400bhp and getting the power down is just silly VERYSILLY as it spins none stop dont forget s13's arnt that heavy but you can still gain more speed with alittle weight loss

Ive wokred out how to roughly use it. Im not sure if im at peak boost though. At 1.15bar its massively overfuelling (less then 10:1 on the AFR gauge). Should i try winding the boost up bit by bit until its as close to about 12:1 as possible? I dont really want to disturb it though, and i might just wait till ive fitted a manifold and stainless turbo elbow.

Im not going down the completely stripped route with this car. Ive done it with every other car ive had, and although i never get tired of it ( i love it even more every time i use it, especially on long journeys) it makes a nice change to be comfy for once. When i first got the car itd light the wheels up very easy in 2nd and often in third, but now that ive got decent tyres with a bit more meat on them it doesnt even spin in second unless i make it, id like to have that ability back i think.

Clutch kick yeah

Dave when you strip it take out the sound deadening aswell

Carpets and sound deadening are well gone. Only things left are heaters seats and important things. Ive only got door speakers aswell. No AC either. Ive kept the rear seats cause i take people out often in it.

I went for a drive last night to have some fun in the wet, and ended up near candy with my camera and tripod in the boot. Ive seen some of Tony's and others pictures there so i thought why not?

Heres my mates mini aswell. And yes, i do have a slowy on the off rear.





Advans FTW!!! Nice one tony. I reckon these are going gold.



















Does anyone fancy meeting there some time to take a load of pictures? Its a brilliant spot.

You have a slowy

Dave fancy a bit of a play then soon???

I may well take you up on that offer.

Great pictures mate.

Them wheels are 10 times better

ace pics dude lovin the wheels there so much better and suit the car aswell
