How it looked when I had it last






some pics from this time last year

banged some panels and stuff onto it along with the 17" SSR SP1's












Things stayed at a standstill from autumn last year until March or so 2013 picked up some stuff over winter for it I was on the lookout for a TD06 or similar after availability / Prices scared me off this came up



arrived nicely snug fitted on a pallet



This came out of a ps13 from Japan suspected melted piston (blowing oil out the dipstick filling catch can etc),Wont know for sure until I strip it

Schhhpec

Power Enterprise / IHI pe1420 Turbo
braided oil and coolant lines
4 branch & Downpipe
Tomei pon cams 2525lb is stamped on them nismo 550cc injectors
s15 pistons

Got the ECU to go with it aswel (revs out to 9200 )

Soo got the finger out and

accomplished a few things the past few weeks & Bought a few things

Engine stand,compressor,TE37's Origin Press line fenders,tools,HVLP gun etc etc..started welding cutting and getting a bit out of my comfort zone all learning I suppose with the attitude of it must be done.

some pics of whats going on and how plans have changed and gone with fenders rather than trying to make a 1/4 panel.



Quick one of the new stand going to use the cams turbo injectors etc off this engine then rebuild it as a spare.




Some new wheels 17x9 et15 Te37's



Fenders arrived from Japan Genuine Origin was trying to get them through Drift2 since November 2012 so that was a slight piss take when I got them from Japan in 2 weeks for less cost!



quick mock up



checked out how 326 would look with stoock kit and fenders undecided



Gave this craic a go all welded up now nothing too stressful just a bit iffy taking the grinder to the quarter

Thats about it for now ordered rivnut to do secure the quarters and have to weld on a strip of sheet between the quarter and overfender.

[jdmjimmy]

So All rubbed down primed,repaired bumper,bonnet,bootlid
















Painted the roof,doorjams and in around bootlid turned out ok second time round its black and shiney . Then of course disaster as always compressor decides to pack up when doing the wet top coat on the doors and quarters so works at a stand still! Wonderful!

In better news got my TE37's repaired wheel doctor done a serious job turning a pair of decent TE's into a full set of 6 17x9 et12 or 15 unsure.



This was one wheel before will get pics up later but its good as perfect now

getting there tried on a TE37








some sunny updates pulled it out to get a look at my first attempt of painting nothing over impressive but its much better than before and cost around €250 so no complaints.

bonnet and wings are not painted alot of trims and stuff to go back on still looking for vented wings

Just a quick mock up














Still cant decide 326 or roof and boot dmax . Leaning towards Dmax seeing as 326's seem to be alot more popular lately

[jdmjimmy]

Time to power up

550's and pon cams installed



put on an original red rocker cover aswel looks better imo



other than that just general trim fitting and boaring stuff at the moment hopefully get at it to put on the power enterprise turbo on Sat

Turbo time

just installed the blower on this thing

IHI power enterprise pe1420,4 branch ,braided lines & downpipe




Getting closer all the time cant wait to drive it its been a long time in the making





Had to do some plastic welding & bracket making to get the headlights in some wiring aswel put on the spare black wings I had for now until some frp ones come up cheapo.




Chipped ecu vs stock you can see the extra board and 2 eproms soldered on to go with pon cams,z32,turbo,fmic etc came off the other engine
should be ok on octane boost if not il get a power fc or nistune

[jdmjimmy]

Some new goodies also have my z32 afm on route.

Took her out for a wash today banged on all my panels wings are only cable tied on hence crookedness.

can finally see how its looking

Some AE86 Fenders for another ongoing project in the pic

[jdmjimmy]

Got my z32 fitted need to give the bay a good cleaning out





shed shot new lights in . late nights ahead !

[jdmjimmy]

Keeping the timing in line when fitting the Tomei pon cams

thanks for the comments lads.

got my exhaust finished today bonnet secured boot latch fitted and few other silly jobs

aaaaand finally..

Got it out for a test drive today after a number of minor incidents boost pipes blowing off etc I got to feel the power this thing is putting down .. definitely put a smile on my face just on .6 at the mo due to no boost controller feels 300 ish so 1 bar will be fun


Ghetto style awesome welds it makes noise and cost zero so im happy

[jdmjimmy]

Trying to keep the old builds going small updates with hugely scatched nuckles

note to self never fit oil cooler again with engine in car

Anyway Greddy thermostatic cooler and filter relocater

[jdmjimmy]

Tow wagon acquired! After looking at scrap over priced trailers and the hassle of getting a trailer licence and buying a jeep this idea made much more sense . Now just to get the car finished





Defi Time



Today was a day of gauge fitting what a pain in the hole.

Started off with a not working oil temp defi so stripped it to try find the problem with no luck so I resorted to splitting an inlet pressure gauge and changing the setting at the back to work as a temp gauge then fitted the temp face and voilla she worked.

Some pics below

[juvi22003]

Great start !!!

[Oakville]

Nice build, clean black coupes are my favorite.

[d_nice]

nice build man..keep up the good work

[510erv]

really like this build

[jdmjimmy]

Package arrived this morning all the way from JapanSo keen to get these on been waiting so long to get to this stage of the build 1 or 2 days a week in the shed leaves progress very slow Boost controller should be here monday aswel Just had to hit the garage at lunch for a test fit Should get them painted and fitted saturday all going well

[FKNGRSY]

This car is so rad.

[jdmjimmy]

Took this sslluuuu out for a bath yday the dirt was annoying me.

Finishd off some interior stuff,tidied wiring,fitted boot spoiler yet to be painted, hacked up the wings and spaced them out . They were already fucked and wasnt arsed getting frp wings yet.

[jdmjimmy]

So got up sat morning fired a breky roll down me got th shed cloths on and headed out to get stuck in.

Tried to fire up the transit no go flat batter..Stuck it on charge and in the mean time fluted around and done some general tidy up on the ps. Tranny started loaded up the ps and headed for town . More hardship in the form of getting it on the ramps of the tyre place to do alignment go tit done and head back home .. Test spin went down well with a burnout to finish off.

90% done

[jdmjimmy]

I had been flat out up to April getting this bitch ready for debut in Mondello on Monday 14th.




Finally I got to a milestone Iv wanted to hit since I started this project.

Here it is Bride seat in !!



Another day balls out working with a good dose of mayhem!

Busy road test with cyclist and general Saturday drivers being in the way on the roads.

Got a load of new tyres and went through the ballache of putting them all on many curses and shouting was done



Yokohama Advan Neova's I used on front for steering and "LingLongs" or "Livelongs" on the rear ..





A load of general looking over the car was done all loose ends tightened up all fluids etc checked for leaks



So this is how were looking after a wash



After a year of Saturdays and evenings it was ready for the first Test/ Drift day on Monday in Mondello

Sound Teaser all the complaining people do about SR's I love the sound of this



So This was it locked loaded and ready to go for Mondays drift day nerves etc as always especially when I didn't know how it would go.





Need to make a Tyre rack



Got there all in one piece unloaded all the shit then done some of this BRAAAAP!


Braaaap!









Then lifted the bonnet to find masses of oil spewing out the breather set up. We Tried many different routes to get rid of the problem with some success towards the end with a make shift Orpheus that Bob Stevens suggested . Kind of ruined the day wit the thoughts of oil spewing out of the catch (bottle) and fearing harm being done it was tough to enjoy a couple of hard laps.

Once home I checked a bit more into it and found non VVT SR20's running higher boost can suffer oil coming up from the crank case so I modified the breather set up to match the s14 style.

Fingers crossed !

[jdmjimmy]

So .. Iv had an urge for TD06 for YEEEAAARS! could never find a full kit / Dish out the dollar so this week I bit the bullet and put a deposit to secure this kit. Can't wait to make some of those easily Recognisable TD06 noises !

[tricky_ab]

Nice kit pickup! I've seen quite a few pop up over on YAJ over the last little while...
