My S13 Coupe Build Thread - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

driftsilvias13 · 11-04-2010, 11:14 AM

Well I finally feel comfortable enough to make one of these build threads. After owning 7 S-Chassis as well as a total of 21 cars in the past 7 years, I think this will be my last build until I am older. Purpose of this car was to be my drift car and just for fun. Lots of pics are missing and I skipped all the little stuff. Let me know what you think!

I purchased the car from a fellow zilvia member like this:

Purchased some brand new PBM Coilovers and ended up swapping front ends with a friend:

Ended up getting B-Magic front fenders, Shine front bumper and a D-max hood too:

Got a Nismo GT PRO LSD!!

Then started to gut and strip the interior of all the tar and sound deadening which was the worst. I dont think I'll ever do that again.

Purchased my front clip from JR Auto Parts. 98' S13 Blacktop from a late model s13. SO CLEAN.

Started to purchase SR parts before the swap:

Also ripped out the KA and painted the engine bay (paint color is electric daytona blue) and put the SR20 in:

I then purchased a BN Blister STYLE kit from RACEONUSA which to my surprise fit well and started sanding the car to prep for paint + 5lug and other small things:

For my birthday, my friend sprayed my car with BASF Alpine White:

How it sits today:

Great build so far. That kit looks like it fits really well. Alot better than my Origin I put on my s14. Good job

Clean Coupe though I hope there is more to your build?

Yeah I planned on doing a lot more but currently I have 3 other cars and will probably sell this one.

Is the engine bay the only thing painted for chassis wise?

stEVOVIII · 11-04-2010, 01:58 PM

Also, any rust?!?!

The interior is painted daytona electric blue as well.

No rust, this car was pretty clean when I got it! Straight frame and a base model so no runroof. Exactly what I was looking for.

Sweet build, love the color options that you went with. Engine bay came out clean

NismoTuner21 · 11-07-2010, 10:13 AM

Nice build! Needs less stretch or more aggressiveness and more low.

Michael Nolan · 11-07-2010, 11:53 AM
