Picked my car up today and its a bargain (sort of)

Got the car with 10months 2 months tax but it does need the engine sorting couple of little problems

Starter motor and for some reason it stalls from time to time i think this maybe due to the dump valve (or so i have been told)

Rights its a red 200 sx s13 facelift

17inch fox alloys

dump valve

full stanless exhaust

air filter of what make i havnt checked.

Not going to go over board on it and will be doing other bits 1st.

Before anybodys says YES it need dropping.

Pulls well and sounds great looking forward to playing with it proper soon.

Very nice matey

Think I may even have a spare starter

Stalling could be the DV if it not a piston type, or it could be a sticky AAC valve Both are very easy to sort

Thought you might know i will buy it stu got the money here what else is in your 200 shop.

Also got front and back struts and a laxy eye kit for it but not sure if i like the kit will have to have a look.

Will have to have a hunt round and see what bits I still have kicking round for the CA motor.

If I havnt got a starter, fairly sure I know someone local who has

Made up for ya tone, not sure if i could live with an S13 any more as their either

a)expensive to buy but will last u years
b)cheap to buy but will need rust and bottom end sorting which makes em expensive

Still absolutely lovely cars to look at. Give her some TLC and you'll have a winner. Spoiler REALLY isnt to my taste. Other than that, a perfect base

Taking that off matey its horrible boots alittle faded aswell but this has had new sills and there arches ok but they will be done when i sort the engine.

Stu were/who is the best person/s to get a engine for my car and fit it.

Its knocking but for the price of the car (cos its a facelift) i didnt mind getting it like it is still drives well should i put it on the rolling road though thats the question.

Just drove past this now and knew it had to be yours, looked a good buy. You'll have to take us out in it one day since its been awhile since we had a chat anyway

Really depends how badly its knocking

Sometimes you can get away with just shells if it not to bad, sometimes a crank regrind, and sometimes a new crank

Only person Id take the car to is Neil at Park Garage (Hes had plenty of experience with my old one ) Hes not a big fan of regrinding cranks, but I did it to my old one and its still running to this day - guess you get good ones and bad ones

Only way to be 100% sure is a new crank, but that costs ££££, maybe worth looking at the shells and doing some DIY if it looks like you may get away with just replacing them before the expense of removing the engine to deal with the crank

Thats a Mongoose exhaust too btw

what can i say mate, totally amazing, thanks for the spin even though we had to bump start it, lol

great bargin mate

At long last. made up for ya mate. you have been so patient waiting for the right one to come up at the right price. looks like its paid off shame about the minor faults but you dont mind getting your hands dirty so should be cheap to fix.

Once its running proper mate will do.

I need a smaller steering wheel dont like this one Also did the lsd test and its got one wasnt sure if it did but it has.

Stu can you give me the number of the person which did your old car or can you tell me were it is and i will go and get it looked at on thursday cheers matey.

U like ur small steering wheels dont ya tone,i remember the one in ur E30,that was a joke,i was hitting the stalks trying to catch the damn thing. Whats the LSD test involve? AFAIK all facelift models have LSDs dont they?

Get the bottom end sorted ASAP mate before u damage ur crank

Jack the backend up and spin 1 wheel and the other should spin the same way.

As far as i know all facelift models do but i was told all a reg xr4i's had a lsd and they dont.

But stu told me they had but still wanted to check as the lad who owne it last could of sold it or it may have been shafted.

i have a momo champion wheel for sale if u wanna buy it. lookin for about 60 will post pics on thursday if u want?

I chuck the pics up matey. Looking to get the engine done before i go buying stuff but could be tempted.

Put the front strut on tonight will need to kut under the bonnet alittle so the bonnet sits proper but think it looks godd and should stiffen the car up abit.



Going to do the back one 2mora and maybe the lazy eye kit.

Looking good

Do you know what type of DV you need? Just I have a baily one you could lend until you get your own, but I think its a single piston type

right,i aint massively up on dump valves but im sure u plumb it in on a nipple at the foreward part of the plenum on CA18s . maybe stuy can enhance on this?

It already has a DV, but of the wrong type so it effects the idle on the engine and makes it stall at times

Could try is a supose. Think it has to be a piston type not sure if its one or 2 piston.

Come round some time and i'll dig it out and we'll try it. Failing that I'll find something to blank it off so you can have it chatter for abit until you source one <--- Nice sounding and wont stall on you, your not running silly PSI so it wont damage a thing

Heres where everyone plumbs there dump valves in CA18DETs, a lot of replies to dump valve problems on SXOC are answered "is ur DV plumbed in ok on THIS nipple"

FRONT AND BACK STRUT BRACES ARE BOTH IN NOW.

Front one took alittle messing about had to cut alittle bit of the bonnet skin away to make it sit proper.

Rear one was straight forward and took ten mins.

Had a go at the lazy eye kit but not to sure how to do it i have the instructions but carnt seem to work it out right.

Next is the engine and my mate has given me a great quote for the paint which should look good but its engine work 1st.

looks great mate i will defo be out soon and catch up with every one and there new cars.

really nice mate

Took the car out tonight for the 1st time in the wet and i have never had a car go sideways so easy.

Plus its so easy to hold no wounder they are used for drifting BRILLIANT

Need to sort the engine so i can play proper.

Also can sombody show me how to fit my sleepy eye kit

car looks like a bargain mate

At the moment it is but only time will tell.

Its great fun loving it.

can't get picks on comp as me phone won't let me. think it is the same as stu's sx wheel

DV looks like a diaphram one to me , could be wrong though.

DV vac feed can be from any pressure source after the throttle butterfly

Is this a crap one stu.

What type would you rec i get i do want a DV.

Also how easy are quick shifts to fit????.

Taking the car to park garage 2mora to find out what i should do with the engine already on the look out for a new one found one on sxoc for £800 stage 2 but its in Devon.

Ive just removed a Blitz BOV from mine, complete with hot pipe, which Ill prolly end up selling as theres no where to easily locate it with the new intercooler

Short shifters are fairly easy to fit, just a bit fiddly - did you go for the OBX or B&M?

How much stu.

Havnt ordered one yet which is best i know very little about jap cars at the moment.

Again thanks Stu took my car the garage you said and its just the tappets thank ****.

Took some better pics of the car today after cleaning it and trying to do the laxy eye kit which i still carnt do the fella i got it from is ringing me back later so hopfully i will have it done by the weekend.

Car my be going for its paint job end of sept if all goes to plan.

Cos i am sad i havnt donepics with lights up.

Not sad mate it looks smart espeially after you washed it

I have been told i can get 250 brake by doing this anybody know how true this is comes from the sxoc website.

250hp can comfortably be had for a 2nd hand s14 T28 ~£150-200, HD stage2 ~£100, volvo fmic £?? (cheap) and a shiny new walbro £80, plus filter & dawes device boost controller. I have that and the same exhaust and get 228 at 1bar. Say about £500 all in, maybe less depending on your bargain finding skills.

Its true matey

Though Id stick some cooler plugs in there as well

Cheers stu will be buying it little bit at a time.

Atlast i have fitted my lazy eye kit.

Thanks to scooby and chris bmw m3 for there help.

Took my 10mins to do and that drilling and fitting the switch inside the car only thing i have to do now is find what high looks best.






What do you all think.

if you just nock the switch a little bit and have them very low it looks good.

at last you got there in the end.

The top one looks best mate.Try loads of different settings as there may be better ones that that.but that top pic looks ace

AT LAST I HAVE A STARTER MOTOR.

Got my starter motor so will be fitting it 2mora also i maybe getting the car sprayed earlier than expected so things are looking up.

Looking at buying a kit for it but not sure what to buy and also should i go with a big wing or none at all????

Starter motor is on and car starts without a push GET IN THERE.

Just need to the blow off valve off stu and the car will be running fine just need to start saving for the body kit.

I have bought a spoiler for my car which i will get pics of soon not sure if i really want to put it on though

Also i have got my bodykit (sort of) just sorting out a deal this is it what do you think.



front bumper back bumper sideskirts and drift wings.( not in pic)

Looks cool kit mate top lazy eye pic the best hope you at meet tonight

Kit looks nice tone,i say leave it spoilerless,or get an ally or carbon wing (just cos it screams drift (NOT on saxos tho))

By "drift wings" were u referring to "canards" on the front bumper?

like these

No scoop matey these are them

Click Me


And the spoiler is carbon jobby

are those drift wings fibreglass?

Scoop Not sure matey.

The kits mine all in front bumper/bonnet/skirts and wings for £670 will have it in around a month or 2 as i needto put some pennies away.

Looks like i will have to put the spray job on hold while i save.

Just done a deal to buy some KYB AGX Adjustable Dampers with Apex Springs these are about a 50mm drop and the Dampers are ment to be verygood.

Things are moving alittle fast on the moding front just means i have to work more hours in work

Found a pic of a drift 200sx (s13) with the spoiler i have bought and it looked great so will be putting it on now.

I have been offered this buy the same guy who made my strut braces what do you think??




Its bigger then the one i have bought i think.

Not sure bout that mate would need more pics at difrent angles

Also i have been told by the same person that a quickshift will fit both the s13 and s14 not sure if thats true he seems to think so any clues.

This is the one i have bought.

click me

Steve have to agree with you there matey looking at both spoilers think i have bought the right one.

Just missed out on a lower strut brace on ebay because i forgot to bid again

Which short shifter would be best.

shifter 1

shifter 2

top shifter looks a bit better,second ones suspiciously cheap and if it comes with the black plate in the pic its gotta be one cheap plate

The 2nd one is the one stu bought for his 180 and it feels realy tight but not sure if it will fit mine.

Also pics of the spoiler front ish and back



Think i will stick with what i have.

Do need advice on the short shifters if they will fit cheers peps.

The second shifter is the better of the 2. The first is an OBX copy, and the second a B&M copy which is far superior - just make sure it fits the CA gearbox

I have just sent off my deposit for my 6 point roll cage with removable diagonal.

roll cage click me then

Its going to be a slow one as the company are letting me pay bit at a time and the final prise is £610 delivered so think this is going to be after xmas.

I geta recipt everytime i make payment both by snail mail(post) and also by email so i wont be ripped off also the company is a known one.

think the spoiler will give the car a chav apeal shud keep it how it is u dont want to much down force on the back wheals

Yer sort of thinking that myself but a i am going for the drift look.

And maybe doing abit of drifting and trackdays it will be needed.

I may buy a 2nd boot so i can swap it around if needed.

Tried getting some pics of my light in the dark sad i know.

how can you drive at night? the drift look should suit this car well, hope your not getting an over the top body kit? something subtle or that goes with the lines of the car, low big shiny wheels, then your sorted........................looks wise! what you aiming for pwoer wise?

Power 250bhp but i bet i want more once i get used to it.

Wheels r going black and the bodykit is a looks almost the same as stu macs.

Driving at night is easy street lights LOL turn them up full when i cant see proper.

Just moved the reg plate down from the middle of the bumper to the bottom and i think it looks well better.

Also going to give it a verygood clean cos i am bored.

looks well better down there now. gunna get the holes filled in?

How does the lazy eye kit work?

do they come up from the lowered position to that height when u turn em on? and can u override it to take them fully up? or vice versa? or do u have to wind em?

Might colour them in as i am getting a new bodykit before the end of the year.

Scoop works on a toggle switch if the switch is on i can set the lights to what high i want them need to turn the lights on 1st before i can do it though.

It starts from the up position and works its way down when i hold the switch on.

Or i can turn the switch on 1st and then turn on the lights so i just have sidelights on which is somthing the car never came with it was lights up or nothing.

Gave the car a verygood clean today inside and out



Gave the wheels a verygood scrub look almost new



By 2mora i should have fingers crossed the blow off valve and hot pipe and a new steering wheel.

This is the kit i am getting. Its fitted on a drift car the front wings are the say as i am getting aswell.

Would like the spoiler but dont think i am that brave.

I'm a bit unsure on the spoiler too matey, it'd be daring! but that kit is swish! =)

cars lookin nice mate. kit looks nice too.
personally, i like the look of the spoiler

that spoiler on the green car SCREAMS drifter,and only a drift look car can pull it off. But without the spoiler u can still achieve the drift look

spoilerless i think is the way to go with your car imho.

got my blow off valve and stu fitted it sounds alot better than the dumpvalve not as loud but better.

The engine is running right now aswell not trying to stall all the time.

Cheers stu matey :cheers:


trusty bit of wood untill i get the hoses.


Blow off valve i can make it loder if i like will have a play 2mora.

Also bought i nice steering wheel and getting the back windows done 2mora.

Had my windows tinted

Like the look of them will go well with the black look i want with the car.

Only took about 90mins to do verygood company just waiting for the tints to settle in but happy with the result.

Go check there website out and phone for a quote.

www.tintwizard.co.uk
tel Ian on 0151 545 1080
Mobile on 07980 63 65 70

Windows suit the car down to the ground matey, here are the pics that I took on my phone, thought I'd post 'em up for ya!







good stuff

looks very nice and subtle. Your car will look totaly amazing with the kit. You going for car of the year lol. Could be a close one maybe between you and lawton if ya get the kit lol.

Flatterd matey but Lawton has done ALOT more than me maybe nextyear.

Sean cheers matey good pics them from a mobile.

Must admit i love the look of the car with the windows done just looking forward to getting th kit on and dusted.

Spoilers on its way and should have the push button start soon.

This is my spoiler mine has alittle more curve in it than that but its the same model.

Still alittle unsure if i want it on or not.

thats gona look amazin! love the drift look so much.

Cheers matey thats the look i am going for but nectyear i will be having ago of the euro drift come once i get a couple of drift lessons from the driftuk boys.

Gutted the fella who was selling me my shocks and springs has let me down

Looks like i will have to get springs for now while i save for d2 coilovers.

Been told my spoiler and push button start are both on there way.

Also by the time the meet comes around (aug 10th) my wheels should have been done.

Also going to order fingers crossed a snap off boss to go with the new steering wheel i have got.

I don't like the spoiler that you are getting, think it looks a little halfordstastic IMO.

Probs look better if you are putting graphics on the car?

not keen on it myself, but it'd look good with graphics on

I have to agree with you both on that.

Once the bodykit and graphics are on it will all come together.

Cheers peps.

Been alittle bizzy today and started my wheels.

RUBBED DOWN READY TO PRIM



PRIMED AND READY TO PAINT



PAINTED THIS IS ONLY ITS 1DT COAT NEED MORE YET



Note totaly happy with the 1st wheel might have to do it again but it will do now as i am buying new wheels after christmas but will do for now.

1 down 3 to go which will get done 2mora as i am inwork later.

why not totally happy? how many coats of paint + laquer u putting on?

remember to flat with fine wet and dry (wet) before putting the laquer on

HAVNT RUBBED IT DOWN PROPER AND I AM VERY FUSSY.

But these wheels are only staying on till after christmas so not that bothered will sort it out though.

Hoping to have the other 3 done 2mora as i am off.

Cheers scoop but this is my 7 set of wheels i have sprayed (not that you would think looking at the state of the 1st one.

Spoiler has arrived and sort of messured it up (hasnt got the stands on it will sit higher by 20cm)



Also done 2 of the wheels and if i am honest i like the black on the car goes well and is what i am looking for but the finish on the wheels is nothing short of SHITE.

I will do others but when the car goes for its 1st lot of spraying at the end of sept i will get them done propley.

Looks ok for now.

wheels look great mate, shame it isnt lowered.

when u getting springs and coilovers?

All 4 wheels are done now.

Joe and of the month the other springs n shocks that i was getting the fella kept messing me about so getting apex ones not going for coilovers just yet.

The black wheels defo make the car stand out pitty i am FAR FROM HAPPY with the job i have done.

bloody hel mate didnt waste anytime gettin them up did ya lol. looking good mate shame your not happy with them tho

One of the peps of the sxoc has photo chopped the car carnt wait till its lowered look well good.

Click Me

superb, red black and carbon are a good colour combination! got anything else getting the black or carbon treatment?

YEP got a carbon spoiler. Also bonnet boot and roof are all going black at the end of sept.

Cheers matey

Pushbutton start arrived today not sure if i want it on show or hid it looks good.

I am going to need help fitting it as i have no idea when it comes to anything electric.

Any takers PLEASE

Took some better pics of the car today as i dont think the others do it justice.








Gutted went to the place were i try my drifting and it a building site now.

So i went to another pace i know got the land owners permision but it was just far to grippy and he wasnt happy with the noise boooooooooooooo

Did a little vid as soon as i had it sidways before the corner i just got grip and went back straight then i was to slow into the corner and not enough power on 215 tyres.

Only got one shot at it as the fella who's land it was wanted to hear how much tyre noise there was.

PLUS I WAS CRAP

Would he let u do it again?

Think so maybe if its wet.

The fella who said i could use the land seemed alittle unsure of what i was doing.

But nectime i may go on a sunday as they will be closed and i can play for free so to speak.

fill your car full of tubs of water, empty them on the land then off you go! autunm is coming soon which means plenty of rain and slippery surfaces! the perfect time to practice

looking slick mate, i'm quite impressed with the fluency of the progress with this car, its coming along fast and stylish.

and as noted above. were leaving summer now boys, this be drift season.

lookin good matey you gonna have to take me out driftin sometime i tried it but am crap not sure if its coz mine 4wd but it just sticks too much

thats a promise matey.

Right dont know if this is going to work but tried drifting in the newpace where i have been given permision to drift.

SMALL AND CRAP VIDEO.
<a href='http://www.putfile.com'>Upload at Putfile</a>

Upload at Putfile

Maybe this one not sure on what to do scoop loaded it for me.

just found this pic mate, i think you should jus spray your roof and bonnet black

that 200 looks amazing

that one looks nice,bar the wheels. Tupac,whats the title of the video,ill get the link up

Scoop dont know

Want to hole lot done as it different i promise you it looks good.

love the black wheels mate, will look ten times better when its lowered

Cheers matey might have coilovers by the end of the month just waiting for the fella to get back to me.

Still havnt done the start button worried i will mess it up so going to wait till sombody who has a idea of what to do can help me.

Also bought a quickshift just waiting for it to arrive.

when u next going to ur drifting locantion give me a pm an ill pop

Will do matey will do.

I have them atlast

COILOVERS



Picked them up today from Mansfield about 5mins from where i bought the car from.


The house where the fella lived is everybodys car lovers dream pulled upto the gates and down a rather nice drive and turned into a courtyard to be greeted by 2 skylines 1 prelude 1 verywell kitted supra twin turbo running 650bhp (never seen it go though) 1 very very nice 180sx (drift speck fully stripped and sorted)

And his daily runner a black amg slk with black alloys and tints

WHY HAVNT I GOT THAT MUCH MONEY.




Only got a pic as the fella was abit big and didnt fancy getting battered.

Anyways back on topic.

Will be fitting these this month along with the HKS turbo timer and quickshift that i have bought this month.

Next in the pipeline if i can sort out a good price with the fella is a volvo FMIC stage 1 chip boost controller and boost gauge.

Not sure what power thats going to give me but i will be needing a new fuel pump me thinks.

Very nice he seem a bit on the filthy rich side lol. Those shocks seem to be in good condition. When you going to fit them? Will it lower your car much??

VERYRICH MATEY.

Will be fitting them this week there coilovers matey so should be able to go verylow carnt wait cars really starting to take shape now.

Put the coilovers on today and

The car looks so much better its that low the numper plate rubs on the speed bumps.

Will take some better pics soon.

thats feckin low that!

gotta watch you dont loose your number plate goin too fast

It will be off verysoon i bet.

Took the car for a run and found a couple of probs 1st its that low the the pastic that covers the underside of the engine rubs on the floor from time to time so thats comming off.

Right anti roll bars come loose needs a new one and there is knocking from the left side of the car think its the spring will have a look 2mora when i have some light.

Also the anti lock brake lights on????????? whys that?????

Corners so much better and is far easier to hold once the backends out love it.

Think i need to invest in some spacers aswell.

Did all this any even managed to sort out some standard alloys too picking them up at the end of the month.

Going to the jap show on Oct 7-8th for a rwyb weekend then wont be buying anything till after xmas as i am fastly running out of cash.

Then it will be rollcage bodykit and engine mods.

thats it get rid of the problem instead of fighting it

nice on mate, i can still see the top of the tyres so its not low enough, lol,

looks well nice mate lovin it!

Cheer peps its going to go lower at the back.

Need alittle help these are the two kits i am looking at the spoiler is the one i have bought just need to pick a kit any idea's.

The rear bumpers are the sdame on both kits by the way.

If you go lower, consider some adjustable camber arms - even -35mm really scrubs the inside edge of the tyres so even lower on coilovers is really goning to mess the rear camber up.

Also pay good money for branded ones, Ive heard that the cheap ones do snap

Top Kit in the pictures

What a transformation that will make.

Looking good fella

bottom one mate

Didnt take long. THE REG-PLATE CAME OFF ON ONE OF THE SPEED BUMPS IN MY ROAD

Knew it would take long.

Going to have to stick it back on but alittle higher up LOL.

Also i have been getting a knocking noise over bumps from the left side of the car any ideas think its the bottom ball joint any ideas????

Also took the plastic cover off so there is no rubbing.

Stu my wheels arent as wide as your so there is no rubbing at all matey PHEW.

lol, not surprised really mate, as your road is a no go for me as mine is too low

I'll say go for the bottom one, i looked at the shape of the car n its curvy n matches the bottom pic! n the ova ones in abit of a mad shape

Looks like its going to be the bottom one then (cheapest one too)

Got my turbo timer on weds just need to fit it along with my push button start.

Also depending on how well the 4i sells will have bucket seats.

ye defo go for the bottom bodykit, looks a bit more drift than the top one, the top one looks more showy than drift. lookin good.

Think Adam has a decent pair of buckets he needs rid of, and I dont think he wants that much for them either lol

As for the tubby timer, get a harness and Ill give you a hand

Cheers stu will get one soon.

Might of sorted some bucket seats out matey.

Took some better pics of the car today since its been lowered.

Think the bottom one looks great.

Been to Newcastle this weekend MAN.

Pic to prove.



I now know the car runs well and quicker then i thought it would. But the coilovers and shitty motorway surfaces make for some hairy driving moments while going along at 70mph ????

still waiting for my quickshift Getting abit pissed off now with the fella.

Also waiting on my boss which i bought from apex.

Need to sort out the suspension and i am saving up to buy whiteline antirolls bars and some nismo bottom arms for the car as the car needs newones so i may aswell upgrade.

Oh and 50mph and driftlock is very scary as i found out while some idiot in a crx wanted to race me in the wet.

Had a friend look the suspension over as i am getting knocks over everybump and its getting worse.

Need 2 new arms as the ball joint on one side has gone and on the other the antiroll bar joint thing (will show you the pic) is buggered so might aswell upgrade just a little srapped for cash this month.

click me

And these too

Also fitted the new steering wheel feels alot better than the old one nice size too.

cant beleve the price of them bottom arms i paid £140 for one of nissan


looking good there well have to meet up an go some where to practice some sideways action

Should have them this month as long as the fella who has bought the xr4i dosnt mess me about.

Red20 had a little play this morning taking the girlfriend to work (she hates it )

Going to lower the back alittle more today, Also ordered my harness for the TT and will try and fit my short shifter this week too.

yer its ok in the wet i had a play last night around mine there are a few nice round abouts to play on

Just bought this

click me

on my way to stage one

Coming on matey

Just sent you a PM about the whiteline anti rollbars - gimme a ring when you can

lol, you love it really

AT LAST STANDARD ALLOYS



LOOKS LIKE ITS DRIFT TIME

Only cost £25 need s good clean but should do me for track and drift days (if i ever get round to doing any )

Got some more alloys today only 195's so nice and thin.

I now have 10 alloys wheels to drift with The facelift ones 205/60/15's will be getting fitted with slicks so they can go on the front and the 195/60/15's wil just get what ever cheap tyres there are LOL.

PS CHEACK OUT THE CONES USED FOR PRACTICE LOL



1st and only time i got the 4i and 200 together GUTTED



Will buy another 4i maybe after the wedding but will cheat and buy a 24v converted one.

I should hopfully have this little lot fitted this month if all goes well.



HKS TURBO TIMER



PUSH BUTTON START



QUICKSHIFT



AND WALBRO FUEL PUMP.

And by the end of the month the car should be black and red with the spoiler on.

Went out for a photo shoot on my friends works great

nice! so this was on a closed pice of private land u say

Yep

tupac was that good at the drifting he even had one hand free doing a westside big up with this hand as u can see in the pic

Thats cos i have all the game PLAYER

Enjoyed it will have to do it again but in the wet (little less noise from the tyres)

Lowered the car some more today

Its as low as i can get it as i have speed bumps in my road (large ones)





looks alot better than it used to

So you decided you werent tired then?

Looking better

I thought i best pull my finger out and do some work on it

Looks alot better i think also has a fair bit of camber now on the back wheels.

Its going the body show weds to have the spoiler done not sure yet if i want the roof and bonnet doing yet as i am thinking of buying a carbon bonnet after xmas.

This is what the spoiler will look like once its on the car.

Not going to be to everybodys taste but its mine anyways.

that'll look top that mate get a carbon bonnet, go on, make me jealous lol

the spoiler doesn't look to ott, i say wait for a carbon bonnet nad just get the roof done! are you sorting out the camber on the rear with some adjustable brackets, or are you happy going through tyres faster? lol

Will be buying these nextyear.

Sweet! I think you should try it with the side bits on the spoiler though.

looks well smart



I agree

Will do just need to find the bits to put em in with seem to have lost them.

looks gud mate it really crying out for that kit you posted, keep up the gud work making really quick progress

Looks sweet as fook that Tupac, so streamlined and co-ordinated!

looking good tony, looking foward to seein the roof and bonnet done

keep up the work mate

Hopfully i'll have it bought and fitted by the end of march but i do have a mot inbetween then.

Matty c and cor7a cheers peps.

The car hasnt been given the thumbs up on all sites but who gives a fook i like it.

trampdrift gave me a bit of stick but then the name says it all doesnt it.

Why don't they like it? Too rice or something? I think you can be pretty sure everyone here loves it, I know it's in the running for my vote in car of the year

Spoiler isnt really my cuppa tea matey , but each to their own

Should be around most of the weekend if you want me to have a look at the quickshift, fuel pump and turbo timer

I am fitting the kitchen and plastering sunday which is my only day off RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Will sort a day matey but cheers.

Done oil change on the car today and some stuff in it to see if i could cheat with the tappets.

The old oil in the car was the blackest i have everseen come out of a car very dirty plus it was verythin so i think there could be some internal damage somwere looks like cheap shite was used for its last change

Will find out 2mora if the tappets are any quieter.

Also put the side bits on the spoiler and took them straight of i think it looks very tatty.

Booked the car in for its bonnet n boot for the 30th of Oct so should come back looking good to me on at the start of November.

I like ye spolier

Might have been decent oil, but the wrong grade. Are you sure you have the correct grade now? Just that your tappets will take better to a thinner oil rather than a thicker one (Am not suggesting anything, am talking in a fair case scenareo).

New oil/filter will always do the world of good, and I wouldnt worry about any internal damage unless its noticable.

10/40, semi synthetic

It needs to be thin for the turbo, but to thin on an old engine will cause problems.

15/40 in it stu got some advice of Apex. Seem tyo have worked the cars quiet now no tappet noise GET IN THERE.

Doing the quickshift on weds and the cars now getting sprayed on the 1st of november.

Was checking the sprint regs last night matey, if you want to sprint the car, your gonna have to remove the rear wing for the day - the scrutineers wont pass it in a road class!

Cheers stu its only on by acouple of bolts in the boot so shouldnt be to hard to remove.

The wing does help at speed i can now vouch for that lol.

Dont know if i want to fit the side slats to the car will put them on today so tell me what u think.

Also the cars not getting sprayed till later on in the year not sure why Alan carnt do it before but somthing has come up.

Atleast thats freed some money up for drifting on the 9th of Dec.

What do you think with or without

think it looks better without mate

try spinning the ends round 180degrees, might look better, if not then yea i reckon you go without too

I'm 50/50, but I think I favour with slightly more, but that 2nd pic makes them look out of place

The more i look at it the more i DONT like the sidebits looks takky so i think i will leave them off cheers peps.

I like it Hey I saw this on Pistonheads and thought you might like to have a ganders!

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=299128&f=47&h=0

Tom

Looks like what i want to do like it.

Wheels seem alittle small but its a good looking car.

top 3 for car of the year thankyou all

I hope to have fitted this week turbo timer/push button start/ quick shift and uprated fuel pump.

Doing the kitchen on my house is killing anycar time i have so i dont get to play.

Oh and one other thing i am still after a 2nd driver for the drift day on the 9th of December

Still not sure weather to put the side slats on so i have put up a poll get voting peps.

Cleaned the car for the 1st time since having the boot sprayed and the jobs crap.

Also as i have cleaned it thought i would take some pics of the car all nice n clean.

Cheers webby.

The last pic is for clj85.

Bidding on this on ebay

Bidding on this on ebay hoping to get it intime for the drift day but i am all most to my max bid.

Be careful how high you go matey, these are only £120 new

I did the wrong thing n looked at the pic and thought it was for all the bits going to cancel my bid.

Checked at home for a std shifter mate, and Ive chucked them all out in the clearout I had a few weeks ago

Ill have a look round for a good fitting guide for the one you have though

This should be of mucho help matey

Got the uprated fuel pump in today big thanks to Dazza for doing it.



INSIDE THE TANK



TOP OF THE TANK



OLD FUELPUMP.



The cars running better and there isnt a rich smell that the old pump gave me as it was on its lastlegs.

All i need now is a chip and intercooler and i will be at stage one.

Not a problem, easier than on my Fiesta - I have to remove the tank to swap the pump lol.

Got a new knob for my its big

Also got the film from my rolling road.

Oops, looks like this has caught the Car Of The Year Bug......

HOW VERYTRUE

1ST of all thankyou so verymuch for your help Scooby.

Webby sorry carnt upload the pics.

After going out for a play i started to head of home when i hit OIL PATCH ON THE ROAD i span the car at no more than 20 mph into a kirb.

As you can prob guess the kirb won and broke my car.

front and rear hub carriers
front and rear bottom arms
trackrodend/control arm (not sure which it is)
rear wishbone
one front 17" wheel

PRIDE

Pics below if sombody can photo chop the pics with arrows to help i would be glad of it.

FRONT WHEEL ALSO AT ABOUT 5 DEGREES


REARWHEEL ALSO AT ABOUT 5 DEGREES


REAR BOTTOM ARM BENT


2ND PIC OF THE BEND


VERYBROKEN FRONT WHEEL BUT STILL HAS AIR AND CAN BE FIXED


FRONT BOTTOM ARM

I mean parts, i guess the price tag will come later....


I thought you car was in bits when you called me??
Gutted for yu mate,

I guess the only consitlation is it could have
been a lot worse.

Just looking about the web now matey doesnt look like its going to be before xmas GUTTED.

No mark i was in bits

True though could have been much worse

ooo gutted

You should change your sig now....

"Sidways is the way forward unless you go backwards hit a kerb"

Done matey

gutted mate

holy shit! only heard 2nite mate, i gave u a call earlier but didnt get a reply, hope ur ok

properly gutted for you!!

Unlucky mate

Still all the parts should be fairly easy to get hold of from the SXOC, and they shouldnt be to expensive either

Bought all the bits just need help if peps fancy it.

Check out car problems for the link

Managed to buy the bits of a guy breaking one on ebay for £60 most peps wanted 150 so a bit his hand off.

PArts should be here on monday then its a late nights for me as i need the car to be ready for Oulton park on sat the 9th for the drif day.

I am working till 8pm everyday this week GUTTED.

As you can see the front arm was very bent.

And the rearwheel hit the kirb alittle higher than i thought pitty its didnt hit on the tyre.

At last i have the parts i'll be at the garage all day n night then if anybody wants to help.

If all goes well i will defo be going sat.

The day the parts arrive has to be the day
of the worst weather.

Even London had a Tornado today...

Hope you can get it done mate,
Clocks ticking....

EMPTY GARAGE MEANS THE CARS DONE AT LAST.

Also this is the rear bottom arm (left ones the broken one rights the newone as you can see its verybent)

Once the cars back from Oulton park its going away as its in need of some tlc so you wont see much of it till about June i think.

Tupac Makes it too Oulton Park

Pictures from the Oulton Park Gallery
There are lots more...











And a little Video - But its not Tupac Driving
He insisted that you know that lol

Video

More Videos and Images in the Review Click Me

looks sweet tupac,NOTE,i can see those pics fine!

couple more pics

How calm do i look at the wheel LOVE IT

Car comes off the road 2mora so i can sort a couple of problems out.

Also just sent off my cheques for the body kit.

Pics of the rear will sort the front pics out soon.

Might also buy the rear qtr panels later on in the year

Nice, the full kit would look awesome.

thats georgeous matey, u should deffo go for the full kit

Right been looking about for a bonnet to go with the kit and i am buying.

I have found this

A carbon fibre one will cost more then the kit so i am hoping to get this made up what do you think.

As i hope to get alot of eurodrift practice done in 2007 i need somthing to help keep temps down so vents are important.

Here is the full kit i have bought.,

that'll look awesome mate biiiiiig , wot bout the paint job, wot colour u thinkin of ??

Not sure yet.

I like the redish one in the pic or maybe go for purple.

should look good matey u still keepin the pop up lighs?

I matey just to buy the bits to do the conversion is £1600 then i would need it spraying and if i have a bump on the track it would cost me a arm and a leg to fix.

Need some idea's on colour though.

go for bright pink like the sumo power 350Z!!

Its been done matey thought of ink but found out alot of 200's are done like that.

Was thinking maybe candy red with the black roof/bonnet/boot its been done but on s14's mostly.

At last.

chuffed for ya mate,thats some control u've got there, backwards round the roundabout tho,dont approve of that part of it, its fine when ur doing it the right way lol

LOL Lucky its not used on a sunday matey thankgod.

I love that video,
the sound of the squeeky break and then the
quick footsteps as you run over too the camera
to switch it off...

Pure comedy...

Your so much better than I thought you were.
Your getting the hang of things there mate.
Keep up the practice when and where you can

Cheers webby going to make a little video once i get the car back so will be needing a hand if you fancy helping as my media windows dosnt work.

Got myself a cheap FMIC just need cleaning up abit than all i need is a chip for stage 1.

Not a problem mate,
but i think the footsteps should be your signature
in your video's lol...

Good Drifting and a laugh at the end

Never bought the fmic as i have bought this instead.


click

thats much better tone, real nice

OH dear who is gay enough to go find that

PS just bought that aswell

This is what i really got

this car justs gets better and better....

Cheers matey.

If all goes well i may just have a flocked dash at the end of the month just waiting for the fella to get back to me as the person buying it keeps messing him about.

sweet as foook.Hope u get it mate.Flocking is the shiznitch

My intercooler has landed at stansted so fingers crossed i'll have it by sat.

Got my fmic today little bigger than i thought but its nice will do what i want it to.

Hant heard back from the fella with the dash so i guess i am not getting that then.

Bought some samco coolent hoses today and will be picking up the smaller batt so i can get the fmic sorted as soon as i get my bonnet.

I have also been reading up on how to get more lock from my car so will be buying these verysoon

click

some good kit on that site.

Right been looking around for wheels and i have finally found the ones i really want.

If you look back through this topic you'll come across a green s13 this car has the wheels i want.

Looks like i may have to do the 5 stud conversion but it will be worth it and i'll have to start saving (hard) if i want them cos they are alittle expensive.

click

What do you think i want them in white and the car will be red.

These wont be on the car untill maybe sept as there are a couple of things i want 1st but i will have a 2nd job soon which will be souly for money which i will be spending on the car.

WHAT A MUG I AM

yer get them 2pac cos i want them as well an i can jus rob yours lol

Well, mine didnt sell on flea bay, so Im open to offers on mine again - ideal for a 4-5stud conversion lol

Also, the Rotas are only in 18" and at those widths they need a lot of arch work to fit Looked in to them before I got mine, but they didnt do them in 17!!

can you get copies of these?

The Rota GTR's are the copies of Nismo Wheels

Been learning a far bit of late i i know this (get in there)

Also stu might not need arch work as i have a plan ??????

Stu we need to come to some sort of agreement over your wheels cos i have more going out than i have comming in at the moment dame car

I have been looking at these too alot like the one's i want.

click

what about this shop, some good parts for your cars maybe? http://www.japshop.co.uk/

Got my samco hose kit today £80 for 2 bits of pipe SHOCKER.

More for looks to go with the front mount than anything else but the old ones are looking alittle tired.



Also bought a boost gauge and a stanless bush for my steering.

seen you coming lol, mind you a 1.6 zetecs induction hose is 40quid.

are you using anymore hoses? if try these they maybe cheaper http://www.siliconhoses.com/

Will add more later in the year matey i am trying not to go mad and do all the engine bay as i will end up wanting to keep it clean and spending most of my time cleaning it.

Putting my fmic on today and poss anything else in the long list of parts i have.

The morning hasnt started so well as when i got to my garage the car had a flat so i had to change the wheel and wouldnt you know it the car falls off the jack.

Hasnt broken anything but delayed me as i wanted to bring the car back to mine in the dark as its got no bonnet on it yet.

You dont half get some funny looks driving without a bonnet LOL.



As the car stands not fingers crossed it will look better later on.

Right alittle update on today.

Started badly got worse then a little better


Big thanks to Stuwells for his help.

As you can see bizzy with the grinder while i take photo's and have cups of tea.






Had to cut the batt try so i could get the piping down looks alittle messy but it will be sorted out propley before its all put together.






Removing the bumper was a pain in the arse as all the bolts were rounded off or kept snapping so i took the grinder ti them to save time as it was starting to get alittle dark.

This is how the car looks at the moment will crack back on with it as soon as i get time.

Do you need to trim the bumper bar up with this kit, or will it fit under it?

Not sure stu havnt got that far yet.

Hope not as the cars in the garage now and there isnt any power there.

Will be going back down prob nextweek as i have acouple of things to do 2mora.

FIngers crossed it will be up n running soon as i am fedup of riding my bike.

Phoned you today as i was having troble with the bumper but a bad temper and a grinder did the trick

tony, it looks like you butchered your battery holder, i wish i knew you were doing this, i would of lent you my hole cutter :< oh well, lookin good any way

Got alittle happy with the grinder.

Thanks for the offer anyway the car wont be a show car so not to bothered how it looks under the bonnet aslong as it goes matey.

Come help me finish the frontmount if you like my garage is only round the corner from yours (unless i am wrong or you have moved)

lol, i ve moved to upton now, but still interested in helping in im not to busy, giz a ring tony 07840397441 when ever and i ll see if i can come.

Couple more pics.

Sanchez will do matey cheers.

Once fitted this is how the pipes and intercooler should look.






Bet mine dosnt

Put all the piping on today just need and the samco hoses.

Will put it all together once i get alittle more time.





Also put the boost gauge in the car.

Got as far as this before i noticed that i havnt got the bolts for the bracket which goes on the core so untill i find it i am stuck.

Carnt wait my kits ment to be here friday/sat so as soon as i have the cash it will be on the car sprayed.

Wont be having a full respray as yet as i am buying vented wings and prob a carbon bonnet but atleast i'll have a nice kit with a fat intercooler behind it.

Fmic is on (i think)





Just need to bits of hose becasue i havnt got one and the other doesnt fit right.

Been on the phone to Apex got the hoses and stuff i need so it will be running in week i hope.

cum on get back out on the road bonet or no bonet

Wish i could. Might have some new wheels aswell matey.

Wheels in question just waiting on price for delivery.

just read all 29 pages! Fookin amazing mate. nice one.

Cheers matey its getting there slowly.

I hate working to a budget.

Sorted the deal the alloys are mine.

These are the wheels.

hats off to you. I love the incar vids too!

hope to see you sideways soon!.

Bodykit has arrived will be fitting it once i have more cash and all the lights for it.







Also got the final bits for the fmic so that will be sorted soon.

And hoping to have the new wheels in a week or so.

That kits is gonna look sweet as fook matey, can't wait to see it on the car!

AS above

Dunno where your going to fit that chair ??

thirded,cant wait to see that kit on the car. is that the same front bumper stuys got??

Nice looking kit matey, whos is it?

Gonna have to watch all those speed bumps

Scoop, its not the same as mine, I have the genuine Nissan Kouki kit, this as an aftermarket jobbie which looks lower, front and rear - though the skirts appear to be copies of the ones I have

Cheers pepes.

Got it off a fella on driftworks called ghostrider he runs a skyline parts company and was given a kit from japan for his car.

As i posted on his topic that i liked the kit i he said he could get hold of one and here it is.

Going to see how it sits on the car this morning looks like a verylow kit to me so speed bumps are going to be a no no or a go slow.

Much lower than i thought it would be.



I'll prob have to take it off for drifdays as knowing my luck i'll rip it off.

looks amazin mate, is the kit made from fibreglass?

Tis matey.

coz im looking at kits for mine agen, lol, im gettin bored with the appearance now, your kit looks ace though, cant wait for it 2 get fitted mate

wer u gettin it fitted?

Mate Alans going to do it.

I am waiting for a while though as i want the wings that have vents in them and the vented headlight cover so car won be seen for sometime LOL

Bought these today

click

And bought this awhile back havnt fitted it yet though


click

Going to sort out the suspension as it hasnt been the same since i hit the kirb.

Will be buying these as soon as i have enough

click

The month after.

Oh and my wheels are paid for just waiting for them to arrive.

Do you mean louvers etc, if so you can buy them in B&Q in a pressed steal and get then welded and smoothed into your wing and will still give a profesional finish, can even have a look around work for them in stainless if your interested in going down this route. Let us know

looking good tony stu shid have finsished with your bonet soon. then you shud get out an get as much practice in as posible b4 the kit goes on. wot you got in mind for paint why not got for a matt black for know as least if the are an knocks its easy to repir an cheap for know so your on the road asap

Louvers matey yes.

The only problem with getting them put into my wings is they catch the wheel when its turned so the ones i am buying are slightly wider then the standard ones plus there is a good amount of rust on one of the arches cheers anyway.

Shaun going to keep it red and black think ing maybe 2 tone.

I am going to play with the standard bumper for now as the fella who was buying it isnt now.

Do need to get out and pay though its pissing me off it just sitting in the garage doing nothing.

Looking forward to getting the kit on







Should look good pitty my drifting wont match the looks of the car.

Started work on the hub carrier aswell as the rear wheel still dosnt sit right so hoping the new carrier will fix that and give me some proper camber.

lookin very good mate, cant wait to see how it turns out, love the front bumper the most, intercooler looks huge through it

gonna look nice mate,is that back bumper just held up next to the cxar or photochopped on? or is it actually placed on over ur current bumper?

just a wierd pic is all. U dont half work fast dude

Its just placed over the old bumper Scoop will be a while before i get the kit put on proper as i want wings/bonnet and a vented light cover then its off the bodyshop for spraying.

I have two tone thing in mind for it.

Just got myself a 2way diff

click

Same as this but used.

Its been well looked after oils been changed reg got it at a good price too.

Paying in two payments so will have it the end of march.

The list of things to put on my car get bigger and bigger must pull my finger out and learn how to put some of the stuff i have bought on my car

Will do the rest asoon as i get time off work as i am working a silly amount of hours to buy stuff for the car.

what was all that hammering and banging for? lol

just keep working...it'll be worth it in the end lol

how come your stripping it mate?

Going to try and get into drifting propley and also have you sat in the back of yours yet???

Would wish it on anybody over 4 feet

makein progress mate u putti a cage or anythink in

Will end up with a 6 point cage just waiting to see if the rules for the euro drift are going to change next season as they might be banning dash dogers (like stu macs) so i would need one that went through the dash.

Wheels are ment to arrive 2mora but i'll have to wait and see.

looking good tupac
i went the jao car autions the otherday an all ready have my next drift project lined up . with the next car it will be fully stiped down to the shell all carpets an sound pading all the heater matrix door cars the full works. an then suspention mods b4 the big engine work. so hopfully shud be on the road again soon. an we can get some good prctice in an some events to

Indeed matey.

Tell me what it is then???

I will be taking most of the stuff you have said out of my car apart from the heating (dont like the cold me)

would it not b better 2 just get the 1 that goes through the dash?

have ur wheels come yet matey

Wheels arrive today.

Dash dodgers are cheaper and can be modded to go through the dash.

So a Dash Dodger is a roll cage then?
That goes around the dash, so you dont have to cut into it?

Help i'm new to Drifting

Correct

It wraps around the dash making the car more road use friendly as you can keep the interior in tact.

They are safe, but not as safe as a straight bar that goes through the dash, as as far as competition cars, and safety regs go, you can never be too safe.

The one fitted in my car is a dash dodger, and Id rather have it than not have it, and its suitable for the type of things I want to do with the car.

As for drifting regs, I think the non dash dodging cages will only be made obligitary for to very top level of the sport (D1) where the cars are purpose built - at club level the cars are generally road cars used for drift, and this may be a regulation that could cripple the low budget drifter or make his car less road use friendly.

Ill have a look at my blue book tonight and see if there are an specific regs...

Thanks Chewy
I'm now up to speed

All true stu.

But to twin (2 cars drifting at once) you need a cage.

Funny Though, your going sideways ?? (Drifting)

Why you need a roll bar in the dash lol..

Safer if you go on your roof if you hit somthing side on there's a good chance you'll roll.

At last i have got my wheels and they look verynice.



Yet more things to put on my car.

Wow love them wheels

Cheers matey like i was told yest by my mate i need to stop buying things and start fitting

I second that, and they look great on Donna's car too

Mark this is twinning.

Listen to them

[youtube]jK-C5WdSv0I[/youtube]



And this is why i need a cage

[youtube]Pw4_0sIew3Q[/youtube] click

Takes abit to start.

Cool i'm watching the video's and typing my message lol

First Video : The Commentary cracked me up lol

Second video : Wicked matey..
I guess with Drifting there is more for mistakes lol...

Do you get extra points for Drifting or something?
How does it work?

Start a New Topic in Chit Chat about Drifting,
as there has to be rules and regulations we don't know about.
Tell me about Twinning ??

Looks like your going to need a supply of bumpers lol

Mark i'll copy and paste the rules up now matey.

Drifting is more than just going sidways.

Do peps think i should get these sprayed white or leave them gold???

Keep gold matey, looks better and more unique

Does not matter what colour you do them Tone, cos by the time you get your car on the road we will all be living on Mars and have our own spaceships!!lol

Seriously tho...white

Just bought myself some gauges oil temp and pressure so they will be on the car in a year or two

Also been trying to fix my rear carrier but carnt get the drive shaft out and its really pissing me off.

once thats done i'll be able to put the new carrier on and have my rear wheel sitting right.

Then its just fit this little lot.

fmic not on right yet.
fit battery in the boot or buy a small one.
Tein tie rods and ends
front and rear strut braces
steering bush
2way diff once its arrived
and get it painted and the kit on.

All in a days work i think

Right drive shafts sorted so the carrier will be done nextday off which is sat.

I hate not having my car on the road its pissin my off.

Got alittle work done on the car today and i amean a little.

Could i like hell get this nutoff my hub



Its a 27mm nut holding the hub carrier in place ( nut is the top one) and even with the help of beemer joe (cheers matey) it wouldnt budge.

Does anybody out there have a genie and air gun so i can wisk it off please.

I am trying to get the car ready for its mot asn only need to do i couple of jobs one of which is having a bonnet which i still havnt got back from xmas eve.

ive just had an idea mate.

If you can't get hold of an air gun 2moro and you're back down there again, i've got a bit of unistrut which I might be able to drill and somehow fix to it.

That way it'll be easier to hold and have some leverage while you undo it. Don't know if it'll work, but could be worth a try.

Will have to see matey if i could spell proper then all would make sence

Genie is ment to say Generator.

Managed to sort out my quickshift i think.



Will put it on when i get chance to see if it works.

Because i carnt get the bolt off the hub carrier i thought i would take the back bumper off ready for when i put the new one on and guess what I CARNT GET THIS OFF.

Stupid bolts at the back of the bumper or rounded off so its going to be a case of cutting the bumper off RRRRRRRR will nothing go right on this car at the moment.

wots the plan of action then ?

I havnt got a clue

calm down matey, i got a bit of spare time this week, so if you want me to come down one day, in the van, with all the right doctors tools, then i ill, but i ain t comin in the dress ! 07840397441

Dress?!?!?!

Andy you scare me but if you want to help i'll be trying to work on the car after 2pm on suday.

I am prob going to get white line anti roll bars at the end of april and maybe the kit sprayed then i am going to start thinking about engine mods been talking to jez at horsham developments (vie email) about getting my car to 250bhp and have give him my list of mods so far.

Been told i will need a T28 and his stage 1 chip to get this so maybe i'll have 250 quicker than i thought.

Also thinking about getting a cammed but not sure whats best or how to do this any offers????

Not sure about the best cams matey, TBH I dont think many bother and there aint really that many available due the the limited production run of the CA18 in Japan.

I know a few people have fitted an inlet cam from a Sunny / CA18DE, not too sure of the gains though.

See how ya get on with the turbo first, cams is a N/A mod more than forced induction, turbo and fuel should come first

Fixed the rear hub carrier today at last and the wheel sits right no more pos camber will be staying away from kirbs from now on.

Also fitted my wheels and got my bonnet back.





Just need to sort the front mount and get my new wings and the cars of the bodyshop for a respray.

Think the wheels need doing white though.

Yeah I agree wih the white wheels mate.

Look great in gold on Donnas car, but just doesn't go as well with the red

At least SOME work is getting done

How'd you manage with the hub carrier in the end?

I think they look quality in gold personally, to be honest I see a lot of cars driving round with white wheels and most of them look pretty tacky.

Might look good on the 200, but the gold look sleek as they are anyway, but your decision at the end of the day matey. Glad to see the cars coming along sweetly.

Had to take the rear disk off and take apart the handbrake cable and shoes then tool the hub to a garage and they took the nut off with a gun.

Now i have the bonnet back i am up for sorting the car out havnt no bonnet i didnt see the point in sortingthe car out lazy really.

Still not sure on the colour though can sombody photo chop the wheels for us and maybe a different colour for the car too as i might like it to go blue or dark purple.

Them gold wheels will go well with blue or dark purple

Gold wheels on a blue car (too scooby like)

Next mod is this.

click

then its off to the bodyshop for a respray i'll prob stick to the red for now.

I am also thinking of buying new back lights what do you think remeber the bonnet roof and boot will all be in black.

I go and pick up my 2way diff on thursday once i have this all i need suspension wise its front and rear anti roll bars solid rear subframe bushes and drift works four arm kit which is this

Driftworks adjustable camber control arms with pillowball ends allow you to accurately set your rear camber. A must for any lowered car, as the standard eccentric bolt doesn't allow enough adjustment. Correct alignment is essential when trying to achieve the perfect drift setup

Driftworks adjustable toe control arms, again essential when lowering the car, you often go beyond the range of standard toe adjustment, and cause uneven tyre wear and bad handling characteristics. These arms allow you to align the car back into spec. The use of the spherical bearing helps eliminate unwanted play in suspension components under the heavy loads that drifting applies.

Driftworks traction control arms, replace the standard non adjustable Nissan part. It is the final adjustable arm needed on S13,S14,S15,R32,R33 rear suspension set up. Adjusting this arms length decides how much toe is given to the rear wheel under suspension compression. The arms also eliminate another of the unwanted standard rubber bushes from the rear suspension setup, once again contributing towards that perfect handling car.

Driftworks adjustable tension rods allow you to acurately set the castor angle of the front suspension. By using a high load spherical bearing they eliminate all the play that the huge jelly filled standard bushes cause. This gives you much more predictable and acurate steering, handling and braking as the wheel is going where you tell it to instead of where bumps in the road tell it.

Done the quickshift its now in the car and gives a better gear change.

Also fitted the fmic piping and i am far from happy with the pipe work on the inlet side and think i may have to get custom pip work done to replace it.





Also the car wont start its turning over but wont start up the pumps charging strange as it started up and drove out the garage but needed pushing back in with Donna's 600bhp accent

Also cheers Joe for the help matey.

Also forgot to mention i might be buying the wide arch kit for my car now as i am trying to get the car looking a little different.



If i buy this though the kit wont go on till the end of sept poss Oct

Just waiting to see if he can get the front wings for me.

should look sweet mate, can't wait to see it

As the rear arches are 50mm wider and the fronts 25mm i am going to need spacers and prob bigger wheels so this may take somtime to save up but i'll kill myself trying.

For now though i am going to get the car through its mot as i am off thr ring in sept for my 30th.

I now have all my gauges

oil temp
oil pressure
boost

So all i need i need to do is buy my oil cooler from apex and everYthing can be connected (and prob break)

Ps the kit thats going to be on the car WILL be the only one on the uk LOVE IT.

Picked up my 2way diff today and got some more wheels to kill

Whiteline anti roll-bars oil cooler and poss solid subframe bushes next might even get a mot too.

Looking for cheap 8j fronts and 9j wheels if anybody can find any please

4x114.3 et 35 if pos.

Its coming together slowly (very slowly ) i got a set of extra alloys today too

Pics matey

The fmic is at last where its ment to be (i think)



Sits higher than it used to as before it was far to low.

Needed to remove more bits of the car to get it done right but i think its sorted out now just need to get the right size battery.

Also the kits going on at the end of the month not getting the wide arch kit as its going to cost far to much as i would need wider wheels spacers and the rest of the kit on and a full respray.

The cars been off the road long enough.

Need some help this sunday after 2pm putting my new diff on.

The jobs not hard but the weight of the diff is any helpers??

Would just be a case of helping me lift it into place with the help of a jack.

I'm sure I can lend a hand if noone else offers matey.

Haven't really got much to do to mine without the head Just a bit of cleaning and tidying things up.

I've got a jack too if you need another one.

I'll probably be round there anyway

The more jacks the better Joe the diff very heavy.

Cheer matey.

Anybody else
???

i may be able 2 help mate, ill try pop down after work at 4

Where's ya garage matey? If am not avin dinner at me mums I will be able to help ye.

Dont post the address on here, send him a pm.

Lol I meant as in area of the Wirral Pomp matey. I don't think Tupac would be silly enough to post the address on a public forum lol!

i would but i hardly ever get the weekend off

Looks like things have gone tits up with the kit so i think i'll chuck the car through its mot and bring it out to play.

Will be buying new wings instead i think.

why whats gone wrong with the kit?

Why, what happened to it matey??

Nothings up with the kit just heard somthing about the place where i was taking the car to get sprayed is havnt things sorted out.

Carnt say to much as i am not ment to know.

ah okies on a need to know basis type thingy lol.

Just ordered this little lot.



I'll copy and paste what is is so i dont get it wrong

Traction Rod Set

Tension Rod Set

S13 - Rear Camber Arm SET
Rear Control Rod ( a.k.a Toe Rod SET)

SOLID STEEL CONSTRUCTION

POLISHED HIGH GLOSS

SPHERICAL PILLOW BALL JOINT DESIGN BUMPER STEER DESIGN ALLOWS EASY ADJUSTMENT

OF SUSPENSION TOE SETTING CORRECTION

THESE ARE APPROVED BY OVERSEAS AND SO CAL DRIFTER, EXCELLENT FOR COMPETITION!

Also i have sorted somthing out for the kit so the front bumper might just be on later not sprayed yet but at least its a start.

I thought you had taken up Dentistry lol

Nice, apart from them being shiny what the advantage
of having those ones Tupac?

As oppose to to standard ones?

Fully adjustable means i can get toe in tow out.

Adjust poss camber neg camber

And there stronger than the standard ones so when i am sidways and hit a bump/kirb they wont bend as easy.

Kits not going on now till i get the wide archs for it might aswell go the hole hog.

50mm rear and 25mm fronts

So with this in mind and the fact i am fed up not being able to go out and play in it i have put the old bumper back on.

Get the f***in kit on it!!! lol. Wheather you can get it sprayed asap or not, just get it all fixed on.

Whats happened about the rear bumper? Managed to take it off?

You get your diff sorted yet mate?

and the final question...

has it started up yet?

finally got ya bonnet back matey, lol, been a while

Going to need the wings as the front bumpers too wide plus it will look better.

Rear bumpers staying on as i'll prob try n rip it off drifting

The diff will prob be sorted thursday

And the final answer no it hasnt started yet but i know the problem and will sort that out once u get the small battery.

Almost time to get it back out to play

Did alittle work on the car once i finished work today.

Stripped alittle more of the inside out and sorted the front bumper so it sits right.

The cars going to look alittle tatty for a while why i learn to drift better but i dont mind as atleast i wont be wrecking the kit one its on (which will be nextyear)





Also need spacers for the wheel as they rub the coilovers but unsure what size to go for.


Also going to need somewhere with a ramp to do the 2way anybody out there who could help.

For now that and the bodkit are sitting in my front room much to Donna's delight

Car looks really good, wish mine sat that low

im off(well suspended from work) so if u need a hand with anythin let me no.

It makes me think of that Tune ?

There once was an ugly duckling..

Meaning your going to strip and knock the shit out of it
and then it will become a well worth the wait kinda of a motor.

So why yu waiting until next year to put the kit on ?
(Funds)

Only cos its going to cost so much matey.

Wheels £1000 as i need 9j wheels plus i only want gtr rota's

Wider fenders front and rear are £450

Spacers to fill the arches about £200 for 4

and then its the respray which will be around £1200 if i am lucky.

Here are the fenders i will be getting.

20mm wider at the front and 50mm wider at the rear.

£2850...so should be on the road for mid 2011? lol

wide fenders! you sound like an american! i might be able to help you with a ramp, either a two or four post one? pm if your interested.

Battery and the cars running

Then its just a mot Jones.

Anyways rich boy lend us the cash and it will be on the road sooner.

2ways on at last took me long enough to get round to fitting it.

Need some oil for it though as the diff oil lights come on.

Also fitted the battery and got the car running but its running badly i have a massive boost leak somewere will have a look at this on weds.

Also fitted the spacers so there is no more wheel scrubbing.

Does anybody fancies giving me a hand on weds to find out were my boost leak is comming from i wouldnt say no.

Still waiting on other bits which i think will come 2mora aswell so should start fitting them too.

Just bought this carbon gauge holder its goes were the vents are in the centre of my dash (gauges in the pic are not mine) it will be holding my boost/oil temp/oil press gauges.

Well big thanks to Chris the car now runs.

It does have a slight boost leak but the plugs were not in the best condition to say the least and here was me thinking of buying new hard pipe LOL.

Small video only as proof the thing works LOL even though its on gravel the diffs tight as you like.

At last i have driven the car.

Its been in bits since 24th of december 2006.

i will have to change the way i drive on the road with the 2way on as its alittle different to what i am used to.






Also need to find the dame locking nut key as i carnt take the other wheels off the car yet.

Jobs still to do.

fix front bumper passenger sides not right as you can see in the pics.
Fit the tein tie rods and ends.

Whats the diff like to drive with?

Sorry to say but....intercooler is still wonkey lol

Mutie wheel thing will be gone once i get the dame locking nuts off the car carnt find the dame things

Needed fuel so went the petrol station so i could take it COUGH

The diffs MAD went onto the dale indu estate and gave the car a boot took my foot off and well lets say sidways is alot easier to get even in a straight line.

And its the bumper that makes the intercooler look wonkey its inline with the bottom rail of the cr but the bumper has slipped down on the left hand side of the car.

Will fix it once i get the car to my house so i can use the drill and make a bracket up plus once i got back the garage i noticed that the bottom hose hadnt stayed on thats why i was getting a boost leak on the way back.

Its getting there though.

woohoo its on the road! but just like i said mines now dead and im on a pedal bike

The roles have reversed LOL

As i was on my push iron not so long ago

Yours will have alot more power than mine though matey when its back.

Them arms are sweet. I'd be gutted that they'd be going underneath the car than on show.

As for the front bumper lights, depends on the colour your getting the bumper sprayed, but i'd say smoked.

Cheers Joe

I'll keep em greased up anyways as i want thm to work well and i have been told adjustable arms are a pain if you dont keep them right.

I was thinking smoked but not sure who can photo chop on here now???

I could matey, give me an hour or two, and I'll give it a go unless someone else has a go?

what colour you getting the car sprayed now anyway?

same colour it is now matey.

if you can take some of the side view of the car and graphic it up as it will hide the bad bodywork lol

there ya go...

tried a bit to match the colour of your vented headlight too.

MMM thinking maybe clear then.

Sort your intercooler out mate...it looks like stevie wonder fitted it lol

Cars comming to mine today Chris taking the towing eye off with my grinder.
