My RB25det hatch

[Hackbarthja]

I know compared to most of the cars on this site, it's not much to look at, but i'm very proud of it so far.

This is how I picked it up, not quite a year ago.

Everything was mint, I was so impressed with the condition it was in for our location (Northern NY)

I immediately installed an ISIS cat back

Purchased an NRG Steering wheel with quick release

Got myself a fresh repaint and powder coated the wheels green

I also picked up a front aero lip :)

But after a few weeks, I got bored with it....just around the same time my friend was selling his motor, and r33 rb25det, so I said why not?

During the time of the swap I managed to get my hands on some 180sx seats from Japan, lower driving lights, and a new shift boot.

After the swap was finished, I just decided to leave it be for the rest of the season, and of course take some pictures...

At the begning of this season I decided to clean up some of the issues i had with the install, and so it begins. Remove and replace cheap intercooler/IC piping, cleaning the engine bay from KA grub, need to clean up the wiring mess, and little odds and ends job.

Also did some rearranging and fuel line cleaning up. Not sure if you can tell the difference in the pictures but youll notice if you look on the left hand side.

man i'd love to get my hands on an s13 that clean, the new engine looks beast too cant wait to see whats next keep up the good work.

[Feast Japan]

Has come a long way, well done man.
What's a wheel powdercoat job like that worth? Looking to get a spare set done soon on the S14.

[iWorstLuck]

Looks good, keep it up !

Not sure the worth, but it was $125 a wheel for me. Sandblasted, powder coated them a Nickel base, then a Candy Apple clear. Hard to tell in pictures but they actually have a gold misty flake to them when the sun hits it right :)

Trying to go in more of a function over form direction.

[sexcii-zenki]

[Hackbarthja]

AEM Engine Management System

[canasion35]

just wondering but how much did that rb set you back?

[rgztmalv]

that rb is sick.

[Hackbarthja]

Haven't updated much. To answer Canasion35's question, so far the whole build, car included, has set me back a bit over $20K.

Here are a couple updated pics.

Sold steering wheel, moved DVD NAV to my daily. Just waiting on my IC pipes to be fabricated to the PVP specs.

Your buddy kinda sounds like Oskar from Hey Arnold.

I like the style you've got going on with your car. I'm glad that your roof racks don't look terrible, because I'm looking for a set right now.

[str33tpr3p]

[BossHogg]

I'm guessing gt30? What size turbine housing you running? Sorry if I missed this previously posted.

[PG BOOSTED]

there is going to be a difference in engines then cause this summer im build a RB25det S1. but there basically the same motor. just little differences like no ignitor chip and other electrical things. but they are both awesome motors. once again very nice car bro.
