Ohhh man didn't know you had a build thread. Cool to see the back story. I was hoping to maybe see this car again in person but there was no s-chassis met held last year unfortunately.
Really cant wait to see the future updates.

Picked up the car from my painter today and I’m amazed on how much of a difference this bumper makes!
![]() Gonna start focusing on finishing up my Z brakes and further fine tuning my suspension before I tackle the motor.

I Gathered most of my Z brake swap parts and noticed how slim the market was for rotors that were drilled for 4 & 5 lug wheels.
Put a lot of thought into just going 5 lug and went down a rabbit hole of various options. I really wanted to change the wheels but I wanted to find something special that was rarely seen on an s chassis, I remembered how much I loved kids heart when I first got into s13’s and remembered they once made wheels. I hit up a couple of local distributors but came up with no luck until I got a text that a private seller was willing to let his go BNIB. So long story short I bought them and embarked on another headache to convert my car over to 5 lug ![]() ![]() ![]() I have 5 lug hubs on the way now I just need to get rotors and wrap the wheels in some new rubber. I was kind of amazed that my old 4 Lug VS-XX sold in a matter of 40min after posting

interesting wheel choice, but you have a good taste so I am sure it will look good!
What made you go buy a "new" KA and turboing it instead of going SR? just wondering |

![]() As far a the KA I decided to buy a dual cam since I have a single cam in the car right now and opted to go KA-T over SR because I would be able to go back to stock if I get popped. I really want to run a full Tomei KA-T setup which in my opinion looks great! SR's in California are definitely a gamble and don't want to drive my car around constantly looking over my shoulder ![]()

I have a KA-T.
The initial cost of going turbo on a KA is lower than an SR and that's why I went KA-T. However, in hind sight. It is probably easier to go SR and keep all the emission stuff in tact to swap back.

Yeah I had chances to buy a compete Sr motorset for a really good price, you’re right it’s probably easy to plug and play but I think the KA will suit my needs in the end.

Was finally able to collect all my z brake parts so I decided to install everything and go 5 lug at the same time.
Luckily this process wasn’t so painful thanks to the help of my friends. I ended up going with following parts to make all this happen -Ichiba 5 lug conversion -Z32 26mm Aluminium calipers painted Brembo gold -Diftech SS lines (front) -STOPTech street performance pads (front) -STOPTech 26mm rotors (front) -STOPTech S14 rotors (rear) Wheels/tires -Kids heart 17x9.5 +15 all around -Federal SS595 235/40/17 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All in all I’m happy with the look but I still have to fix the ride height and get an alignment.
