my attempt to make a decent s13 coupe

so i picked up this coupe on my birthday its a 1989 240sx coupe with a cam'd ka24e on eibach lowering springs and 17x9 rota grids







got it home and installed some stance coils i had from my last car and brand new pbm rucas



swapped to a chuki front end that i had on my other shell then my buddy wanted to take pictures of my car





the motor just randomly stopped working while i was driving it so i pulled the ka and picked up an sr





started pulling the motor apart because i bought it with a spun bearing







so i bought a new crank and new rods and sent them out to the machine shop to make sure everything was in spec and started putting the motor back together





ordered pbm hydro and subframe collars



picked up version select VI kit and silvia rear valances locally







got 50mm rear overs and picked up a 326 wing





woke up to this big box from the ups man and it had wheels in it





got some more pbm goodies







dropped the motor in and got everything mocked up





put the car on the ground for the first time in months





took the car to my buddies shop and had him weld my fenders and my hydro





got the car home and its just been siting on the trailer trying to figure out why the car wouldnt start



then the front fenders came in after 3 months of waiting. so i test fitted the rear fenders and the fronts





Here's a pic my friend took of my rear suspension


a random ass shot


finally picked up my ecu. tried plugging it in and it still isnt getting power i think there is something wrong with my fusebox wiring idk i need to find out soon



well just got some brand new ikeya forumula outer tie rods



also my Powered By Max Front Lower Control arm tension rod combo came in







tried getting the car off the trailer myself and it got stuck -__-



finally got the car in the garage going to start taking it apart soon to figure out if the reason i have low compression is just headgasket or not



well i snapped a cam shaft -___-



well i installed my pbm flca tension rod combo and pbm inner tie rods.



also ordered pbm drop knuckles and going to order more parts soon also picking up a new motor in the next couple weeks

If your looking for a decent oil cooler setup I put a lot of work into researching a setup for my car, I've been daily driving all summer with it, and even into late fall here.

Check it out in my build thread in my sig below, not to try and pull views away from your thread. Nice work your doing.

Mine went

When thermostat is closed
motor ---> oil filter ---> thermostat ---> motor

When oil temp increased enough to open the thermostat
motor ---> oil filter ---> thermostat ---> oil cooler ---> motor

the thermostat doesn't open up until a certain degree, I can't remember off hand but it would just circulate back to the motor until it opened allowing full flow to the cooler. That way the oil could warm up some allowing the motor to warm up sooner while still continuously going through the oil filter.

My stock temp gauge doesn't really go much over the C on a normal day.
