Hey Guy & Gals! My name is Adrian coming from SoCal, Moreno Valley to be exact....Been on this "Fabulous Forum" since late 2008. I've learned alot from being on here & met alot of people over the years..I've owned 3 S13's since I was 17, currently 21 & over these years I've learn the potential of these cars....

This is my 2nd of 3 S13's I've owned (first coupe), Picked it up from this guy in Oceanside, CA from Craigslist for $1700. It's a 1991 S13 Coupe SE Model (auto) I have owned this Coupe since June of 2009 it was BONE STOCK when I bought it!

Over the years I've gone through some "FANBOY" Phases so bare with me lol. I was trying to be "cool" but I have matured up since then...alot more into "attention to detail" now I guess you can say Zilvia has yet influenced me

Back to the build though, It was around late of 2010 when I was planning on doing a swap my plan was doing a RB25 STREET/DRIFT BUILD, & that was my only swap that I wanted to do at the time...One day chit chatting with my friend Flashrps13 over my plans for my swap he said why not go 1JZ? At first I was like no! I dont want to put a Toyota engine in my Nissan (picky guy right) but that night did some research & at that time in 2010 there wasnt much 1JZ/2JZ S-Chassis Love....Well reserching I saw there wasnt much of difference besides Extending the Fuel Rails & Extending Shifter or getting a JDM Soarer Tranny ($$$$ route)...& the JZ's I did see in the S-Chassis's kicked ass! Instant Power, Easy to work on, Parts werent to hard to get & Sound Badass! So my buddy that first told me to go 1JZ actually had a 1JZ in his SC300 & was planning on going 2JZ. He told me he would give me a good deal & he did! I COULDNT PASS IT UP! So I test drove the 1JZ in his SC300 & FELL IN LOVE! So Once He had the Engine out, & money was paid in full the BUILD BEGAN!

SO LET ME BRING YOU UP TO SPEED FROM ALL MY FUNNY PHASES & WHAT MY COUPE HAS GONE THROUGH SINCE 2009

First Day I bought It..

The Modifying BEGAN!

Bought a set of Espelir Lowering Springs, Really good quailty Springs BTW

Got new Fenders because the Original ones werent in the best of shape

Went Sil-Front because JDM!

Painted Sil-Front Black & Got a good deal on a set of SSR Reverse Mesh so I bought them

Needed HP so I sticker bombed my lip...Looking back at this makes me SMH so damn much!

Sold the SSR's & bought some Enkei 92 Mesh off Nieko here on Zilvia

Got tired over being AUTOMATIC & my KA took a Shit, it had very bad Valve seals & would blow out white/gray smoke like CRAZY! So I found a 98 KA with low miles for cheap & some guy gave me a killer deal on a complete 5-Speed swap. So when I got some time off from work I did the 98 KA Swap along with the 5-Speed swap

Sold the Enkei's & Bought OEM Aero Sideskirts & Valances

Then Bought Fortune Auto 500 Series Coils & Riken Mesh...Yeah I had a thing for Mesh's lol

HELLATUCKED BRO!

Did a 5 Lug Swap using J30 Components w/ S14 SE Wheels

Decided to mount my OEM Aero

Said BYE-BYE to Sticker-Bombed Lip

10/2010

Had to keep this sticker, it was a gift from my buddy boobs13 (Richie)

& These were the last pics of my Coupe while it was still together back in March of 2011

& heres when 1JZ came home finally

I'll Leave off here, please stay tuned there alot to catch up one from over a year, more updates coming Soon!

Also Thank you for whoever has took there time to read my Thread! Im open to any Postive or Negative comments...So please chime in
