Period correct mods...

[s13Kurt]

Im looking for some opinions on what period correct s13 parts I should be looking for. Stuff like old omari gauges, old hks evc's etc. I want to put this car together like someone would've done in the 90's.

[revcyanide]

sooo outdated electronics?

why don't you use 90's exterior styling, but use the better electronics they make today, rather than spending a fortuned and looking forever for stuff that does not work as well as stuff off the counter?

your car, it's cool. just makes no sense to me.

[s13Kurt]

Im not making this a rule of thumb for the way I want the car done but I do want a couple pieces. When it comes to tuning it would be power fc or the like but some old gauges and stuff wouldn't hurt.

ah ok, good luck to you then.

[.emerson.]

I feel you on this. What I say for the most part is "dress your car for its age". I don't know anything exactly on your topic though. I like old school parts on old school cars.

[DJPimpFlex]

Only thing I like to do period correct is bicycles....

HELL YES! Is it bad a good friend of mine just sold that same Tomei bumper yesterday? I thought it was ugly and wouldn't look proper unless I had the whole kit.

[Ramonesfreak2010]

I'm sorry, but can some one tell me what "period correct" means?

[Darren]

+1 for "Fast" on the hood
+1 for the yellow jacket from the video.

I think you should find a period tape deck player. It will be the hotness.

[Flicktitty]

I hear you, i always thought it would be very cool to do a mid 90's themed S13. Old school HKS gauges all older/rare parts on it. basic and simple.

best bet is to search the classifieds here everyday. get good with Yahoo Japan auctions and ebay. Good luck.

I'd love to do an old skool build. I used to have an Apexi Multichecker. Wish I'd never sold it on.

Started Going this route with my skyline when i first got it. So far ive got Nismo NS5R wheels, steering wheel, strutbars, shift knob. missed out on a set of 400r seats, kinda bummed me out.

I looked forever for nismo gauges and couldnt find any so i picked up old HKS amber ones

http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/Dolph_KYAS13/308211_10150303390726540_504381539_8196718_3995959 56_n.jpg

Car came with a Profec A boost controller with an overtake button lol

Advice for you is seach the easter egg and rare parts thread, and search alot, some parts are easy to find and can be quite cheap. more sought after parts take a while to find can be real pricey.

[s13silvia123]

the only problems with some gauges are when the sensors go out and trying to find parts for the gauges. lately i saw some old school tomei gauges for sale but damn they are expensive, about $350 a pop

[OBEEWON]

I want to see this build thread.

will be like hot tub time machine back to the 90's.

[Darren]

that ps13 is problably in a scrap yard somwhere in japan by now.lol!


lol, from what i've seen, there aren't many "Scrap yards" people just seem to leave their old cars in a farmer's field somewhere ... at least in Hokkaido :D

[ezza]

lol^

I have to agree, to an extent cars do look better with true to era mods

I have a profec E-01 for example, looks outdated to fuck compared to modern stuff but wierdly feels right in a 94 silvia. (if anyone as a remote holder for an e-01 inbox me please ;)

[Toi]

Yea and Nissan and Nismo are on a discontinued rampage as of late

[Chernobyl]

Every few years you see people start looking back and building cars like 199_ or 200_ again. Then it goes back to current day trends. I like the cycle; keeps things interesting.


Sorry I don't have any input on older electronics. Definitely get a sweet tape deck.

[revcyanide]

I've got a authentic 270r spoiler for sale, if anyone is going old school with a zenki : P

[Flicktitty]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/flicktitty/hksgauge.jpg

I'll add these to this thread. OLD. just picked them up from a friend, he bought them used in 1996. if anyone has any info or dates on these let me know.

[Matej]

If anyone happens to have an old school OEM-style S13 exhaust for sale, I am interested in purchasing it.
Fujitsubo, Nismo, HKS, Kakimoto, etc. :)

[nate1]

i love this idea keep us posted my hatch is kind of period correct i built most of it in 2005 so all the parts are things that were big around then red top sr, dc sport header, tein suspension, sparco seats, momo steering wheel and the ever so pain in the ass 3 gauges down the A pillar so u get blinded at night trying to drive around a corner.

[SinGarage]

How about Alpine 7915. CD player pull out. Actually I have tons of cassette pull outs also. Damn I'm showing my age... :hahano:

Not sure on the dates, but they must have been made specifically for the US market since they are in imperial units instead of metric. I would guess they were manufactured in the early-mid 90's. So, they probably weren't that old when your buddy bought them. It's purely speculation on my part though. Matej, thanks for the vid. That thing is bookmarked now :)

[atom]

If you really want it 90's style I would start with:

Canister exhaust (I think you can still get Fujitsubo Legalis-R exhausts new, $$$$ though)
Cusco Type-ST Strut Bar (or any bar that screws in the middle)
Omori Gauges (the look hasn't changed much over the years so these would be the easiest to find to look period correct)
HKS EVC3
Recaro SR with the gradient or "splotchy" fabric in the middle
Tomei short shifter
Sheepdog BOV
Nismo 330 steering wheel with the old school nismo horn button

Thats off the top of my head. The engine and especially suspension tuning I would not want to go back 90's style. Non adjustable coilover with non adjustable lower bracket, no thank you. If you want to go that far though, Nismo N1/Tokico HTS/KYB Buzz Spec shocks with KG/MM springs. Oh yeahhhhh

[.emerson.]

Just youtube Shuto Kousoku and all the movies are period correct!!!

[omgRWDgoodness!]

LOL! Tisk Tisk.. That acid tripping guy is driving an autotragic S13.. lol.. See 2:19 on that movie and you'll be quite diappointed. :picardfp:
That and his erratic-ass driving and continuous nervous glances to his right in order to avoid light traffic and that menacing concrete barrier.

[Neteru]

love seeing period correct mods on cars in 2011.

[Sileighty_85]

When i went to visit my Inlaws in Okinawa one of my Cousins gave me an old Parts Catalog from 1996 for the Skylines.

Its got pics and info on all kinda of parts that im alot of ppl never knew existed

[s13Kurt]

Two things on the list one being that profec a and an Omari boost gauge. I've always loved the old alpine hu's. This build will be slow and coming because most of the stuff will be hard to source.

[fatduece]

Seems like the drivers only doing 60-90mph, yet the sweat's dribbling down his forehead like the niagara falls. Otherwise it's still a nice video, taste of the oldies.

[ericcastro]

You are gonna hate your wheel selection and fitment.

you get MoMo Arrows,
or,
VX1/Venoms

Your door speakers should be Bose,
But you need to have an 18" or a pair of 12"'s in the trunk.
Rockford Fosgate would be the brand as well.

Dont forget your NEUSPEED sticker

HKS exhaust
painted brake calipers.
Fog lights.
The purple tinted ones just were getting big at that time.
PIAA's BTW.

Also, white cars.


Its gonna be great, lol

Not sure if it's "period correct" but definitely older looking

So we arent doing period correct to what was on the streets stateside?


Cause if you are just gonna build with the best of what came out back then and is finally in your price range, thats a different build altogether.

[Matej]

So we arent doing period correct to what was on the streets stateside?
No. Why would anyone want that?

period correct FTW...

i have my circa 1990 momo steering wheel on my 90 240 right now, father bought it brand new for his 85 civic dx, and i rocked it on my 86 civic si for years. its been lying around, so when i got my 240, i threw it on for the hell of it. funny thing is my father paid A LOT for it back in 90, like 300 or something, and it was the top of the line momo street wheel back then, now its like a 130 dollar wheel haha

[MADE]

That and his erratic-ass driving and continuous nervous glances to his right in order to avoid light traffic and that menacing concrete barrier.

Which made the vid the worse ever! BTW most of the electronics the OP is looking for can be found on yaj or most stores in japan listed as junk. I'd start there before you start shelling out top dollar from people in the US.

PS:

Here's a period correct wheel for mid 90's. For S14's it's 17x8+35 and 17x9+38. Nothing aggressive.
