The KA GT3076R build in Cincinnati TO MANY PICS

[newslidz]

HERE TO REP FOR MY KA PALS OUT THERE

Will be TONS OF PICS I THINK


UGH I have been on here for some time now but money sucks parts cost to much lol and well im just broke. So i figured i would get a jump so you guys dont get sick of me posting pics of taking off 2 bolts at a time

I bought the car April 09 dirt cheap no rust..
It ran but it was a wreck, No seat belts, celica seats with with carrige bolts holding them in. was a real joke..

It had been painted atleast 3 times with a can and was sharp enough to cut you .



Starting with the day it was dropped off




any way first things that needed to be addressed was the shot clutch slave. took care of that and by passed that damn block. Made my life much better.

I drove the car for about 3 months till I started reading about this 248/248 cam swap people were doing. Then I saw a video of it on youtube and was like well it might not be like boost but it sounds sick!

Of course when I do it all goes to hell 2 days later but was sweet






After this began the tear down for some reason my mind and hands had 2 diffrent Ideas on what we were doing. I was suppose to just take the head to get checked out tanked cams put back to check and throw it back together and well this is were we took the turn to overhaul..

Out with the old



and out came the motor



well of course i wasnt done tearing things up. So I attacked the interior also






and also out came the sub frame " I STOLE THIS PIC TO CONTINUE MY STORY"


OK next step after that was to install SPL solid sub frame bushing and uh WOW these guys were no joke to install you can see my mangled self adjusting wrench because my impact got them so far in then i did the rest by hand





also met with Shift Jin and picked up a j30 diff and axles fyi really kool dude. If you live in Ky or near Winchester hes the go to guy



Ok back on track to getting it where it needs to be and when the money really started flying

redid the trunk with spary on truck bed liner came out great looks great





lol ^ for my 5 lug I have a set of s14 se wheels

next task was the seats if you have a s13 im sure you know the back seats are not people friendly being that they are to small and when your tall and you have s14 seats that go back farther then stock it makes it worse. so its a looks only so I bought some Sem fabric dye and did the rear seats black.


SO MUCH BETTER






I also picked up some s14 seats for my car from shift jin btw he is my # PARTS GUY and started on the audio side of my car... Yea yea i know my build is all over the place but its gonna be finished all at once so i try to keep it balanced.





In the rear was a custom 6 1/2 install but same up front but componets and its all kicker..



Along with installing guages and greddy turbo timer while the dash was out of the way





Then picked up greddy TI-C ON SALE 460 SHIPPED couldnt pass




Ok onto the motor and drivetrain

I got the interior all back together along with finished the motor except for the lines







Also picked up some 300zx brakes and 2 rear wheels for my radials


along with tein tie rods and ends




ok and on to the hardest part of the whole thing is the paint and body

and you just have to start sanding I guess













And I put the interior back why? LOL somtimes you just like to see progress I guess



a pressure wash bath with tons of degrease r to get ready for more work but to have a somewhat clean slate








aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa FINALLY A solid smooth color lol



Me in action blocking it down







Did alot of wet sanding and sanding in general and as I progressed



STUFF IN PRIMER IS A GREAT FEELING



Finally getting to paint FYI PAINT CODE IS K12 ITS A OEM NISSAN PAINT

Well thats up to date 11/24/10 I plan on getting the rest of the car painted by then end of the week and to start saving for the rest of the stuff I need so i Can drive this bad boy lol

the lip is already on the list and has been for almost a year... and thats kinda the plan.. its gonna be a drag/race/enjoy myself car. Also just being able to meet cool legit people. I like my stuff to have a stock like function but do alot more.. Car also will have a/c and power steering


and I did install some 180sx seat belts so im gonna be a little better off

[Exas Spec D]

Great build. Jealous again with the baller KA-t set up.

[Kouki_monstr]

Nice build so far. Keep up the good work!

[s13 @ fullboost]

[va240dude]

Looks great man, your turning what was an eyesore into something nice. Can't wait to see the final outcome with a dyno sheet! Great job so far!

[CamryOnBronze]

I've gotta say I was skeptical when I saw KA and a comment about not having much money, but the progress looks awesome so far! Excited to see it all come together...

[Zach-sr]

Loved your build also.. Im sure people peek in here look at the first 5 photos and bounce lol its about whats going on at the bottom of the page

[idriveattz32]

Very clean setup you look to have going. Will watch for progress, so keep up the good work. It's always nice to someone out there putting together clean cars still. They can be very inspiring.

[tricky_ab]

Great progress so far!!! I'll be watching this build for sure!

[jmac636]

Great job man. You can see the dedication in your work. That Gt3076 should get you close to 500whp with 400 plus ft lbs. of torque. Ka-t's are alot of fun when built right.

[turbo_dreams]

Great build man, excited to see the end result of this s13

[Sergio180sx]

NICE!!! I think im gonna dye my seats too haha!!

[Michael Nolan]

Beastiest Ka-t ever.

[PoorMans180SX]

This looks like it's going to be fast.

That's some very nice porting on the intake side btw.

[N.z33]

Yea I try to do all my own work. Just helps save on money plus I can't stand the way most people at like shops are working now. They just try to do as little as possible and don't really do things the way they should be done. It's my first time painting so we will see if I have a talant for it. I got a few runs in the bay but I'm not worried because there are down at the bottom of the towers




Thanks again for all the support. And the dog likes it's oem areo.

[Broadfield]

Looking good so far man. I'll be keeping an eye on this one!

Sounds like Cincy to me! That's the exact reason I've been doing everything myself (besides the savings).

Glad to see another quality local build. Lots of jank stuff running around here these days!


P.S. ohiosx.com if you haven't heard about it yet. slow sometimes, but not drift oriented or anything specific.

[CLM_s13Type-x]

Awesome build man! Yea I know what you mean about the body work being the worst part cuz i went through that with mine. It sucks sooo much sanding. me seeing that ka T makes me wished i would have stayed with the ka. Keep the updates coming man!!!

[S-Nation S13]

Are you talking about the seats? If so its a SEM product like on the following page Vinyl, Leather, Plastic and Bumper Coatings I pick it up at a local paint store..

I feel the Heat lol... Being that I believe I share the same interest in looks and style just my pockets dont make them as available. But I like things done right and I like them clean. Maby next year if you have another bbq I can make it over there. I figure im about 5hrs away but to meet up and see your car in person along with the cars/ people you pull in would make it worth it...
