Getting it ready for body shop. Did a complete wire tuck to glove box, wiring harness got f'd up by my wheel..cause a small electrical fire. When I parked it, ALT light was on and other random electrical problems. So, Id have to get another harness or chop this one up.

Today I went down to take pics of the progress, heres where it sits now.
They have fit the new front fenders and primed the vehicle.

Still on the list:
More body work, down low. The rocker panels are rusted.
Windows have to be removed. Replacing with new Rear quarter windows while there out.
Car has to be decked.
New trunk lid to be installed.
Remove the doors to get the jams painted and also doors on both sides..

Well thats how it sits now, ill keep you guys posted and show you how it comes together and how my wallet empties.
Good god, $1000.00+ on molding alone. :loco:

[RoyalFlush]

i love your car, cant wait to see what it looks like next

[YoungRookie]

Your car is what inspired me to get my hatch painted red, i love your whip, please keep us updated

[mr_240sx]

wow looks like shes getting a make over! make sure to keep us posted! and good job on showing htem american folks how we do it in canada!

[kandyflip445]

Always loved how it looked before. Can't wait to see the mystery paint.

[240love]

i love your car!!! my 240 worships your 240...

[Ca_laurier]

damn jeeves what happened. well my car will hopefully be at speedtech next week and trust me, i am in the same shape as your right now.

[LB.Motoring]

nice,

I relocated my fuse box and wiring underneath my Passanger side in my s14,

made a aluminum box, its matted next to my PowerFC ecu, and very clean.

[swift_style]

That's a really good job with molding and body work. Can't wait to see end result. I need a lot of body work on my car and this is a little inspiration for me to get at it.

[jrocslider]

damn... i cant wait to see what it looks like next.... ur car was pure sex... kinda hard to picture it lookin better

[BobbyDigi]

Expands for the win. Picked a set of profounds up for my Q... Fabulous love

[Brian]

You have good taste

I have a good feeling that this new version will rule hard.

[Syncmaster]

wow ... nice job...

Which is your old color ? red...

[dorkjoey240]

Can't wait to see what paint color your gonna use on the 240.

[CKAMC]

I liked your car before.... so I know this new revision will be great as well.

Thanks for posting :)

[chmercer]

why do you not paint the hood

am i missing something?

and why not painting the area behind the tails and stuff?

PS. please fill me in on your glovebox fuse box relocation stuff? i did that recently but to get it to fit i just like disassembled the fuse box and it isnt exactly the cleanest thing in the world.

[IIIXziuR]

Pretty cool bro. Like what you have completed so far.
It will be awesome when its 100% done.

[kuruptR]

why do you not paint the hood

Ill get you details on tuck as i did not get to complete mounting it, but it fit pretty well... turned out better than i had expected.

Actually every thing is getting painted.
The reason for the area behind the taillights not primered or even the hood, is that they do not need to get decked. The area behind the tails doesnt have to be decked but it will be sanded and primed. The car will be primed(entire car this time as once piece) again once they find all the imperfections, they have done a bunch of show cars in town that turned out fairly flawless.

[Adam496]

Wow..so many awesome builds. Can't wait to see the finished product!

[xblack240x]

Can't wait to see this thing finished, how it looked before was awesome, and now a mystery color =)

[chmercer]

by decked do you mean like, wiped? filler?

[kuruptR]

May 15th, 2007
As the car is still getting body work done, I'v been replacing parts with newer ones to restore it to a brand new state.

My engines FMIC has taken a beating over the 5 year period of owning the car, so I replaced it with a new one. Along with other parts getting wear over the last 5 years I see one major part that needed replacing, the brakes... So I got these from Nissan:

[lflkajfj12123]

looks good, you should do a write up on the fuse box relocation

[kuruptR]

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/_MG_4842.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/_MG_4841.jpg
I will do the quick little write up on the box(s) relocation

[turtle m3th]

subscribed!!! I've always admired your car, can't wait to see how it turns out!

[ThatGuy]

I'm sure the pics aren't doing the color justice.

Looks like a dark/Charcoal Gray to me. Very smooth, very clean. Can't wait to see it fully assembled and read the fuse box move How-To. :bow: :rawk:

[ms!3]

wonder how i missed this thread? looks real nice. some quality shit there. haha

[bardabe]

thats a nice fuckin color

[Dousan_PG]

looking so rad.
damn ur car is awesome!!!!!

[FinalDrive]

nice work, looking forward to your fusebox write-up

[240trainee]

Gonna look sick

I'll be interested to see your wiring write up too, I know in theory how it's done, but will be curious to see exactly how you did it.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Awesome awesome awesome.
keep it up!
are those/ are you keeping the SP1's?

[kuruptR]

kinda what i wanted from when I started 6 years ago.

[kuruptR]

Hard to take a picture of the color....Its Deep black from far, but when you get close it turns into a purple... its really hard to trigger the color, i think only flouresnt light does it. In sunlight it just looks greyish black.

[unicoladron]

love it

msglngth

[swayray]

very nice... very clean... i'm always a sucker for that kind of aero...

[kuruptR]

[EJ253]

looks damn good. keep it up

[A'PEXi]

new pics? :P

[timlush]

Looks good.

I just did the same with my fuse box harness on my S14. Ripped out everything I didn't need, separated into 2 sections and ran the few wires back out to the bay that are actually needed out there, lol.

Not sure if I am going to put it on the passenger side or extend some wires and put it in the trunk.

[unicoladron]

you're this close from converting a silvia fan to a 180sx fan!

[240trainee]

Yea, no teasing, post pics, lol.

[95Blue240sx]

sweet ride, I love it

[ManoNegra]

Always loved your car, can't wait for the full reveal.

[kuruptR]

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/_MG_5164.jpg
Hard to capture the color in the darkness... and I coulda used a tripod.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/_MG_5140.jpg
Rear Trunk done, lots of chopping and drilling. I have a Circuit sports trunk floor bar from this angle you cant see it.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/_MG_5154.jpg
Chopped out the rear seat brackets, after I saw the picks of koguch's pics in the interior pics thread. Figured I have over kill bars so might as well chop'um out.

[jrocslider]

[officer farva]

damn, clean car, props

that reclinable bucket looks tits, brand?

[jrocslider]

both seats are the same brand and the drivers side has the name on it in big letters. he also wrote about it in the 1st page of this thread. and yeah.... those seats are sum hott shit.

BRIDE=$

[silviavert]

looks really good!

[95Blue240sx]

FUCK! I love the overkill rear bars, looks sweet!

[UfoZ8myCow]

that reclinable bucket looks tits, brand?

You do see that it says "Bride" in big ass letters right on the back of it right? And the passenger seat isnt really a bucket, its just a regular seat with lots of support. But also Bride.

Geez, nice prank Farva. Hahaha.

[wannabe_drifter]

That is hot !!!

[ManoNegra]

Sick! Did you stitch weld the chassis?

[DOOK]

i hate it................. bastard :D

[RUTH'LESSDET]

your such a tease

[kuruptR]

August 30, 2007
No I didnt stitch it, I wanted to keep the car fairly stock.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/_MG_5165.jpg
Had to order a turbo. My car rattled a nut loose from MAF and sucked it into the turbo(stock s14) and chewed it to shit.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/_MG_5166.jpg
Stock replacement, I didnt want anything to large...so i got this tiny thing, GT2860RS. Should be good for 300whp I'm looking for with quick spool.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/_MG_5167.jpg
Over night expressed everything, got these crazy couplers from kinetic motorsport, the one is a 90 degree reducer 2" - 2.25".

[UfoZ8myCow]

"fairly stock" hahaha I think you left that realm a long time ago my friend.

[bardabe]

I Spy White TE's or Gram Lights.

[iHeart240]

man this thing is gonna be sick
really nice car.

[yaba94070]

lol fuck i know how it is....
and hey your wirring isn;t to bad
rofl you should see mine
rofl. atleast yours isn;t covered in oil and 10 year old duck tape rofl.....
im gettting a new one next week

[Gjohnson7]

The freaking hottnesss!!!! Quit being a tease and show us the pics!

[Touring240]

Awesome build up. One of the nicest s13s in Canada.

[a_ahmed]

is that a c pillar bar? It says "Nismo" on it? wth? Nismo makes a c pillar bar?

Anyways I want one.. where to get? (I dont have a cpillar bar, and i have a hatch...) The one you have seems kinda beefy. The ones I've seen around internet ebay/megan style seem wimpy thin... three pieces.

[Jack_c]

Saw this car a couple weeks ago in person and it is absolutely sick! The pictures dont do the paint justice at all.

One of the nicest s13's in Canada IMO. :bigok:
*Edit: Someone just said that lol.

[kuruptR]

thanks Jack.

a ahmed, its c-pillar bar I got from david @ touge factory. It will fit only 91-93 S13Hatch backs. From what I recall 2 years ago he said it was one of a couple he brought in.

[a_ahmed]

thanks Jack.

damn it! Again the touge factory one, no wonder it was beefy :(

I really want the touge factory c pillar bar... but they have been discontinued. Even the wimpy skinny megan racing c pillar bar for the s13 has been discontinued...

I wonder if anyone has one for sale or something...

[nissanguy13]

props on the car, very clean

[CKAMC]

contact intense motorsports in arizona... i believe they might have one still

[a_ahmed]

Thanks, I just sent them an email. Intensepower is their site right? I hope its right one heh...

[CKAMC]

Thanks, I just sent them an email. Intensepower is their site right? I hope its right one heh...

Yeah thats them. I remember a few years back they made a few but yeah you dont see them listed on their site anymore but who knows they might be able to fab some up again. doesn't hurt to ask whats up.

[CKAMC]

If your unable to find one stateside you can contact an importer and ask for STR Wakai Engineering and Flash product since they seem to be the only other people to make this part.

Here is the STR Wakai Engineering (shown on S14 but avaliable for both S13 and hatch model)

[eastcoastS14]

^^ lol at spoiling the suprise

[Tearlessj]

Im ganna be honest, I liked it better red. But either way still a badass car.

[A Spec Products]

Hehe. :)

http://www.speedtechracing.com/images/media_events/21/Track%20Day%20%283%29.jpg

Clean

I think you need lower sides and rear skirts tho (I'm sure you address this in the thread but eh 4 pages and Zilvia is running slow so...)

More specifically I think you need more aggressive aero to match the white TE's

Need pics in the sun to really see tho, the overcast is making it hard to see the lines of the car

Also I think you should take the stickers off the cage....cage color is nice, but stickers kinda just make it messy

Pick and choose with the bars too, either just cage + strut bar, or strut bar + pillar bar....but all 3 is just like overkill

And tsk tsk on the rock e brake ;)

[Matej]

^^ lol at spoiling the suprise
Haha, found those pictures on the website in his sig, sorry everyone.

[crazyikimasho]

Im ganna be honest, I liked it better red. But either way still a badass car.

Agreed. Just some constructive criticism... with those wheels (sizing, style, etc) and the spoiler I personally would have gone with a little more aggressive sides at least and perhaps more aggressive kit overall. But thats just my personal opinion. Just seems like it went a step backwards from the original look. That and the overkill in bracing. The cage itself is typically enough then to add a STB, C-pillar bar and a trunk brace, that just seems like you're adding more weight, hurting performance versus improving. Ill let Russ chime in on this since hes been there, did the same and took most of his out on the blue car.\

Like Logan mentioned... e-brake too. Function > form, if its just a cable issue thats easily solved and I hope you do so. Otherwise Z32 e-brake assy isnt hard to source on here, Im sure plenty of people on here would be willing to help out.

Just being critical since you obviously put a lot of time, money and effort in the car. Otherwise not too shabby.

[A Spec Products]

Haha, found those pictures on the website in his sig, sorry everyone.

If you got the pics, show em

This is like having naked pics of your ex girlfriend

But not showing them to people

http://echo.toyota.com.au/TWR/content/static/1940.jpg

Toyota Echo. Get it?

LOLZ

[CKAMC]

was kinda hoping to see some new aero since you decided to change the paint.... :(

[Ethix]

I think it looks rad.

I also disagree on the aero. I think if more agressive aero was added it would just end up looking like every other fastback with white TE's that we've seen recently (just in a different color).




-Mark

[Full-Lock]

oh yea thats nice

i like it just the way it is. looks like you went 18's all around.

what sizes did you end up going with?

i KNEW from the teaser they were white TE's...i knew it

[genetic]

i like your old wheels

other than that, its cool.

[Brian]

It has all the right parts...buuuuuuut, something is wrong.
can't put my finger on it either.

[Ninjabread]

Looks rad man!

To me, it almost looks like it would need 17's in the front with the kind of aero you've got on it...

[hippo_chips]

Love the car. I'm not a fan of 18s all around though. But, hell it's yours. Everyone can keep giving you suggestions on what to do to make it look better, but there's a reason why your car looks like this, cause you, yourself, thought it looked hot. I'd give you plenty of suggestions too, but I'm keeping those ideas for me, so I can make my car the way I want it. Awesome car man.

[a_ahmed]

Well I still didnt get any email back from intense motorsports...

Also http://www.str-w.jp/silvia.htm is all japanese lol i dont speak japanese :P And.. it seems less beefy than the touge one, but cant be for sure from the pics...

[5t341tH]

got a high res of this pic?
id like to use it as my BG :)
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/Completeonthetrack.jpg

[ManoNegra]

Looks baller but I too kinda think that it looked ballerer in red. Maybe pics don't do it justice(?)

[Frosty_spl]

It looked more unique before. Its still nice, just waaay more subtle.

Honestly I think the wheels are killing it.

[unicoladron]

traitor!!!! why are you hanging out with honda fan boys!!!!

j/k i know some of you were thinking the same thing!

love the car dude love hatch wing, works perfect for the look of the car

[UfoZ8myCow]

And tsk tsk on the rock e brake ;)

Like Logan mentioned... e-brake too. Function > form, if its just a cable issue thats easily solved and I hope you do so. Otherwise Z32 e-brake assy isnt hard to source on here, Im sure plenty of people on here would be willing to help out.


Dudes, from the looks of it I think those pics were taken at a track day... Maybe he was just letting his brakes cool down?

[speedgod^s13]

I liked it way better, when it was red. But, to each his own.

[nissanguy13]

I like it better red if it was going to be a show car, but since its a track/guessing DD also, I like it better now. It looks clean and subtle. Keeps unwanted attention off the car.

[InlineS13]

You guys are nuts, that car looks awesome. I like the color change. Looks a little bit like the OEM 180sx purple. and the 18" white TE's are badass. Good work man. Nice car.

[240love]

so thats what a type x bumper would look with out the typex sideskirts ...maybe ill change mine to those

[kuruptR]

Clear somethings up, the pics were not supposed to be posted. 1 Because its gotta go back into the paint shop. 2. Wanted a proper photoshoot. 3. Homo picture make the car look fugly. 4 Was waiting on another set of wheels.

A spec logan, I do a bit of track days whether drifting or lapping days. Function > Form, lol.. Car is on an incline, i just got off the track...If you pull your ebrake you can garantee rear warped rotors! Your in the industry you should know a bit about cracking drilled rotors.
Over kills bars, nah. Looks gay, what ever. I took out the strut bar for 2 days, it sounds like a tin can flexing.

[kuruptR]

so thats what a type x bumper would look with out the typex sideskirts ...maybe ill change mine to those

You mean thats what a type x bumper would like with the type x skirts. Because thats what they are. Its actually full kouki kit.

[MavericStephenc]

thanks Jack.

a ahmed, its c-pillar bar I got from david @ touge factory. It will fit only 91-93 S13Hatch backs. From what I recall 2 years ago he said it was one of a couple he brought in.


i have one in my s14.......its rumored to fit in some civics and integras too


edit: beautiful car though I love what you have done.also is that a cusco cage?

[icedsole]

hey mad props on your car. i saw it in seattle by goods the day of hin and i didnt think it was your car, but now i know.

[UfoZ8myCow]

A spec logan, I do a bit of track days whether drifting or lapping days. Function > Form, lol.. Car is on an incline, i just got off the track...If you pull your ebrake you can garantee rear warped rotors!

That's what I was squaking about earlier... I figured by looking at your car that after going through all the trouble of building it you probably didnt cut a corner on something like an e brake.

[Tearlessj]

Now im really curious to see what the new wheels are going to be!!! Please do that fuse box write up if you have sometime. Im working on that and it would be cool to get some advice. Thanks.

[Matej]

Wow, everybody hates me now, sorry. :(

[ManoNegra]

Usually a good idea to ask permission to post pics of a car that doesn't belong to you. But I don't hate you, anticipation was bugging me.

[Matej]

Usually a good idea to ask permission to post pics of a car that doesn't belong to you.
I just assumed it was okay since the pictures were publicly accessible by anyone on the website displayed in his sig, plus it says "Check out progress on my car!" right next to it, so I thought that was a link to his build website or something, pretty much anyone on here could've found them, and I thought the car looked good, it's not like I snuck into his garage to take bad spy photos of a celebrity car without makeup on just to ruin this thread for everyone, haha, sorry again man.

[Flybert]

Clear somethings up, the pics were not supposed to be posted. 1 Because its gotta go back into the paint shop. 2. Wanted a proper photoshoot. 3. Homo picture make the car look fugly. 4 Was waiting on another set of wheels.

AHAHAHAH you sound so gay. A cool looking car doesn't need a professional photoshoot to look awesome.

[95Blue240sx]

Did you find a c-pillar bar. Im interested to get one too. I saw one for sale in the FS section, but sold pretty fast.

I need to clean the engine bay, throw some things out ( nasty strut bar and Megan heat shield ) and get it ready for the body shop to paint.

[Jakob]

oooh dude those floormats are BALLER!!

[mikey060]

when is this car going to be finished? i cant wait to see it
i didnt read the whole thread, but is your engine pretty much stock? like what do you have to make 300hp other than the turbo/fmic/etc. do you have upgraded internals or anything? the turbo in my 180sx might be fuxored so i will be needing a new one. and 300horse would be nice :)

[kuruptR]

300 is pretty easy with a gt2861rs. We dyno'd one last year at 11psi, 285 WHP with no managment, stock maf (LOL). Im running 15, with greddy map sensor. Though this turbo is not much bigger than stock, its a world of differnce over the S14 turbo i had in there.

interesting, i may have to check this turbo out. do you work at speedtech? ill probably stop by this weekend sometime and talk with them.
my car came from japan running 14psi so if i can drop this turbo in and run it safely that would be sweet. i wont clutter up your thread though, but thanks for the response :)

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/partsmarch202007069.jpg All together, and ready to go in. (took me about 20 mins to install it on the car) How?!?!?!

Because of this.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/partsmarch202007071.jpg
This is quiet possibly the gayest mod ever. I removed my old bushing, it was mint. Very hard, no signs of cracking or wear.
It was fairly easy to get out, having the motor in or out would make no differnce, as you can just get to the knuckle from under the wheel well easily.
This was a fucking bitch to get back in. This is where I regret ever buying this part, its super hard to do this solo, you need some one to hold the steering assembly and line up the 3 bolts on the fire wall, while one guides the knuckle to the spline.

In the end, im left with about a 100 cuts on my hand and a wasted of 4 - 5 hours. A part that virtually did nothing, after a test drive.

Yes thats my new sparco all dirty.

Edit: 2008 October. Gonna have to take most of that back. :D

[Ninjabread]

Lol, sweet, I was contemplating getting that bushing.

I think the money would be better invested in solid rack bushings?

[n2motorsports]

i need to quit dumping money into my daily, that hatch is inspiring me to get my car out of storage.

[a_ahmed]

Uhm, after i installed my alum bushing i felt a big difference honestly. I don't know about you, but for me it made a difference, it had tons of slop after none. It's really tight.

My bushing was 'solid' too but it was a damn rubber bushing.

It was hell to install, but I had help from my friend mechanic haha, he did some banging and i did some pulling :P Finally had to disassemble the lil bummer.

[kuruptR]

Great car, Looks really good !

How is that ARC air box ???

Is it really worth its price ??

yes its worth it. I dont give a shit if it makes any power, it bolts down wicked... I hate the look of stock intake arms with an hks power intake floppin around.

[mr_240sx]

dammm this thing keeps on getting more crazy!

[reaxion]

dude your car is fkin sickness. its cars like yours that keep me goin

[rowdogg03]

I am copying your color... I like..

[240trainee]

Yea, I almost felt like shooting myself after doing that bushing, I did it in the car with the engine out, and only removed the lower portion of the steering column, what a fucking bitch to get back together.

Looking good though man. Can't wait to see it back together, love kouki hatches.

[ScottMan]

I've been waiting for updates on your car for a while now. I love every bit of it. I know you're usually secretive about your car, but if you care to share, what have you dropped the Brembos for? BBK?

Picked up a Synapse BOV, with HKS Aluminum Adapater

[240trainee]

I'm stoked, I'm curious as to reviews of the BOV, I have heard only vauge positive things, no actual real world reviews.

[kuruptR]

I actually had some problems running the Synapse BOV open to atmosphere. Upon installation I had some major idling issues, it was leaking pretty badly on the hardest pre-load setting. There is no room for adjusting to close it shut, I took it a part to see what I could do to modify it. I ended up putting a spacer on the spring seat so I could get it to close up, it works now NO LEAKS.

Pros & Cons:
Is it as responsive as a HKS SSQV? unfortunatly NOT.

Limited noise, a good thing! It opens and closes pretty fast.

Too keep the BOV sealed at idle, I had to put a bunch of pre-load on the spring. So it needs about 5lbs of boost to blow off.

Unit it self is pretty large for what it does, my Greddy RS would have been fine. But the synapse looks so good :D

2 Vacuum ports? uhh why?! I did a bunch of differnt varations with the vacuum hosing, doesnt seem like it does much hooking both up. I tested a few combos.

[kuruptR]

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c75/bitch407/Timeattack.jpg
So many things going on in this shot.

1.Put that new fender on, its getting a light news paper roll.
2.Slight glimpse at my one off RED project Mu's. Ill have close ups later.
3.Engine bay shot, with bunch of new aluminum goods (you can see the synapse) and Black Bay.
4.Guys from work came down to help me out. Mounting of bumper. (these things are a bitch to mount if your not using tie straps)
5.New Wheels Mounted with fresh Toyo T1R's.

That sucks man, I was looking into the gp sports ones, but they are "custom" order apparently which means waiting like 5 months (if you can still get em that is...).

That apexi piece is very nice though :)

What are you doing with the nurspec?

[ScottMan]

So glad you're updating this again, man. Like I told you a while back in PMs, when I was stalling in my project your car/build kept me motivated. I love the quality of parts. Amazing job.

I hav'nt put them on yet im waiting to buy tires. what sizes did u buy for the 57's? are the the same 225 35 and 235 35 like on your te's? I cant find any decently prices 235 35's so i am THINKING about a 225 35 F and 225 40 R

I will prob buy tires some time next week then make a conscious effort to put them on my car

That roll/pull in the rear looks wayy more than what you had when u had the te's on there, I could almost remember just a roll... why did you do that for more tire or just the tucked look

btw, wanna take another set of these 57's??? ill trade u for the te's haha and some cash??

[kingkong]

kuruptR, where did you buy the ganador mirrors??
sweet ride by the way

[kuruptR]

You have a spacer in the rear or just running like -1 camber?
Not much camber in the rear, the reason why the 9.5 + 12 is so flush with pulled fender.

Got the ganadors thrown in to an engine shipment from japan, brought a couple sets back... There motorized too.

[FaLKoN240]

What's your tire size in the rear, because it looks like you could run a 3mm spacer or something back there. But it may just be the angle of that driveway.

[kuruptR]

its credit card distance now, if I was to close the gap (letters already rubbed off) it would not be functional on track days.

These were my 10.5's (same camber), constant rubbing, very dangerous on the track when the wires start to show through.

Almost bing on the sizes, but 225s in the back? ahaha no. 245.35.18 out back.

JLaw is always showing up in our pics... stupid jackie honda-tech faggot.

Haha, on the sidemarkers .. 180sx don't come with em apparently (parting one out at the moment) so If you want to fit the look, you'd have to shave em :P
