Kilamax03 s13 boost or die trying

[kilamax03]

Whats up everyone I wouldn't consider myself new here lol but im still some what of a newb to the s chassis platform. ive always wanted a 2 door and something rwd.

Ive been thinking when should I start a build thread and I figured the best time would be now considering im losing momentum on my build and looking for inspiration.

bought the car from a friend who decided to get a Camaro SS (big upgrade)and one dope ass car..

I also own a 2003 Nissan maxima that I daily and still mod here and there.

any who comments are welcome please don't bash me cause if you have something negative to say I really don't care lol but insight and guidance is welcome.



here is the car when I first bought it

dropped on stance coils 280z wheels
I isis front and rear lower control arms (I think)
and an HKS exhaust. everything else Is pretty much stock.

[kilamax03]

Picking this thread up fron the dead

[kilamax03]

Decided hid upgrade and 5 lug swap was a must..so i installed 6k hids and also did.the 5 lug swap and threw on a set of 350z wheels. I also bought a set of chuki side skirts.. To accent the front lip..

[kilamax03]

So after my 5 lug swap i decided to go a little further with the mods nothing major just little stuff to make a difference in appearance and handling.. I saw a friend with an x bar and thought it looked pretty cool so i sought one out and bought the god speed x bar. I didnt use the end bars because i felt there was no need. I also re fittwd my chuko side skirts and i also upgraded my dash to white led's

[kilamax03]

After a while i felt like the car was out growing yhe stock 350z wheels and came across a deal to do a trade for another set of wheels.. I also got a hole less hatch from the junk yard with a wiper figured it would be better than having to repair the holy hatch i had.

[kilamax03]

So i traded for these xxrs and i loved the way they made the car look. These pics are right after i put them on b4 adjusting suspension ect

[kilamax03]

More pics with the new wheels

[kilamax03]

So after convincing myself to go lower i realized i had to roll the front and rear fenders and i also took off the coils to examine them and i also decided to upgrade my ruca in case i wanted to add more camber or take out camber. I maxed out the stance coils in the front and raked the back a little bit because i had a sligtly fatter tire back there..

[kilamax03]

I also added a rear g grow lip. And Got my windows tinted =D

[No 240.. No id]

Car looks cool, keep it up

[kilamax03]

Picked up an s14 with a sr that had a bad head gasket. Main purpose for this car is the motor and anything else i can use to fit my s13 then sell the shell

Thanks man

[kilamax03]

Hey sup everyone... its been a whie since I have been on here..


crazy how this butterfly reminds me of my car.. lol... ill explain later

[kilamax03]

soooooo I have done alot to the my car but I have not updated in a long time so bear with me... here is some little stuff that bugged me. my vents were super dirty so I took a cu-tip and cleaned them out..

[kilamax03]

so skipping to my s14 I bought.. lol...
it had a s14 sr in there bad head gasket... the car had been rear ended and It was not in the best of shape in my opinion. so I just pulled the motor and everything I needed for the swap

[kilamax03]

...

[kilamax03]

motor out, I started looking for things I wanted to keep before I sold the shell, so I kept the seats the wheels and a few other notable things I needed... wish I would of kept the 5 lug conversion on it would of saved me a lot of headache and money that I ended up having to spend anyway...smh

[kilamax03]

so I decided I wanted to go lower and possibly get more aggressive wheels in the fture so I hanged out my rear upper control arm. I went ahead and purchase some stance one wich are beautiful and do the job..

[kilamax03]

with the new arms in I lowered thcar more and got the fitment RIGHT...

[kilamax03]

when ever the 240 is undrivable I have my Nissan maxima to pick up parts

[kilamax03]

started taking the head off and check for ther things in the cylinder walls




I didn't take any close pics but I saw that some of the pistons had slight nicks on the edges.. the cylinder walls seemed fine though... but now I was like might as well open up the oil pan... and in there I found lil bits of aluminum....

once again its been a while so these pictures are buried in my phone... but it was like the size of dime, a couple of them..


so instantly I knew I was gonna have to go the whole way or scrap the build

so I started ordering parts for the motor rebuild

[kilamax03]

the one thing I thought I was only gonna change

[kilamax03]

and more parts started to come in




I always wanted this

[kilamax03]

i started to change out worn parts on the car because my steering felt real sloppy. also i sold my stance coils because they seem to bobb under load like when coming into s steep corner the front end would just bounce, and i hated that.. so i went with PBM,,













I as back and forth on getting s14 FLCA's but i just opted out and kept the s13 ones and pressed s14 ball joins in them..'
the PBM coils are awesome i love them ride is perfect even at the height im at.. people ride in my car and are shocked to how smooth it rides



the tien inner and outter tie rods were deff a great touch.. but for some off reason one of my rubber boots got sliced im not sure how... smh i put some silicone on it nd prayed it would seal it... so far so good..

[kilamax03]

so just to give a glimse of what the car has become im gonna post this, if I don't get any responses on this thread ill just stop updating it and it can be closed, don't want to feel like im wasting my time giving updates on my build and im not getting any feedback...

anyway like said the car looks totally different now here is a preview of the color I went with also my set of pbm lug nuts I bought
