[CLM_s13Type-x]

Awesome build man! Cant wait to see that boosted.

[Jybfan04]

I likes sir, keep up the good work!

[kalypso123]

wow, this rocks

[s14pit]

I have also picked up a few things such as a steering spacer, power steer reservoir with AN fittings welded on and also some poly rack mounts. all from Efrain at suspicious garage Thanks buddy. well now to the bad news all good things have there bad. As I was driving from Future to Suspicious I found that my trans had no 1st or 3rd gear. I got this trans thinking it was good to go but you all know how that is. So friday I will be pulling the trans out and taking it apart to see what is going on with it. I guess there goes my coils fund wheels fund but depending on whats wrong I will be putting the marlin crawler shift fork, thrust washer and bearing plate. I hope to have more pics up this weekend and some good news on my R154 trans problem.

[kalypso123]

you might find another r154 on the cheap... :0)

or w58... or whatever else.

[Nick_04K]

So this thing is actually going to be NA-T soon? I kind of thought it was down the road. for me because i wanted to see some NA tuning going on.

Definitely a good deal for you though!

[s14pit]

I am uploading my build thread this is a running car already I am trying to get all my pics on here so more people might get some help from it. the trans has been rebuilt why mess with old stuff.

[s14pit]

Well here is a little update I have my trans back in after the rebuild. It feels great, I just picked up some Future Fab modified knuckles and boxed s14 lower control arms and also a steering spacer. I will be installing these items when I get up with a alignment also. Here are a few pics to go along with this also some before pics of the steering angle.
Future Fab helped with getting my exhaust done also



I also put my res on so that when I am ready for my front facing manifold I wont have to wory about my power steering res. I have to make it back to suspicious garage to finish the lines.

Before knuckles and control arms and steering spacer I am sure I wont have full lock until I get a better offset rim but that is coming

this for shits and giggles

[s14pit]

Here are a few pics of my boxed front s14 front control arms they came out great Future really hooked it up on this one they took the the bump stop off also for me.

[s14pit]

Well here are a few pics of my power steering set-up I think that everyone should have this done. call SUSPICIOUS GARAGE to get a quote they are badass and never have a power steering leak again unless the rack goes.




here is a pick of some more angle I still have more to go but the wheel well is in the way and kicks back a little after you turn the car off but the angle kit is really badass the car is still very drivable feels great on the freeway.

[s14pit]

So today I started to work on my wire tuck and getting the front tubs done. This car really needed the tubs lots of rust from a old battery way before me.




I also pulled the dash and started removing the a/c stuff man there is alot of room after thats all gone

[s14pit]

So I picked my car up the other day from Joe Haven the front tubs came out great could not be happier.





Now I am finishing up the wire tuck and put the new silvia front on with brick lights.

[s14pit]

Here is some preview pics of what I have been up to. tein super drifts with work cr kais and also started to put my silvia front one with the wire tuck.




I will have more update pics soon as the wire tuck is done and the front end is back on it.

[s14pit]

so I have been doing some work here and there I have completed my wire tuck with Efrains help extending the wires and stuff the front tubs are done.




I also picked up a set of tein superdrifts and a set of work cr-kais 18's in the back 17's up front thanks pat.




I have also put a silvia front on that i pieced together hella cheap I have to put my pignose lip on but that wont be tell next week since I am going out of town this weekend. I still need to roll one front fender work on the rear fenders a little more and put some adjustable arms in the rear. but I hope to have all that done in the next month and then the car will be going off to paint and the wheels will be getting powder coated.



I want to thank my friends that helped the past few weeks Drama, Efrain, Pat, Claire, Alex thanks
I have the car back at home so I will be putting the dash back in and cleaning the interior up.

[s13dan]

Awesome, this build keeps getting better and better. Keep it up, subscribed.

[ROOSEY]

subscribed, this things looking awesome. great work. and loved when i saw the pic of the turbo, holy turbo. now your boosting!

[s14pit]

Started working on my harness for when I go with the new 1j head. There is just so much unneeded stuff on a supra harness since I am going standalone I am able to remove a tone of wires here is the pile I was left with

[s14pit]

[fender-startocaster]

love the updates. keep up the awesome work.

[champ_6]

Awesome job. You may have said this but what standalone you plan on running?

[s14pit]

I am going to be running a AEM v2 plug and play

[s14pit]

Just got started on my rear z-brakes set-up. I have one side done and then the other side sill needs to be put together. but I ran into a problem one of my hubs does now have the tab on it. I will be picking that up so I can have this brake job completed.

[s14pit]

well I just got half my car back from paint and I really love the color it looks really good



I have to pick up the front clip some time this week and also the side skirts cant wait to get it back together
I have also picked up inner and outer tein tie rods since I have broke two inners the last two events.

[s14pit]

So I had some time today and I put my front fenders and bumper back on and some other things. I still need to get a hood, corner lights and a silvia grill. I sent my wheels off to powder coating today they should be done by monday.







All put away untill I am ready to put the door panels back on and finish getting the fenders bolted on.

[s14pit]

Well I have not done much to the car in the past month since my wheels have bee out for powder coating. I did paint my engine bay to try and clean it up a little.

[s14pit]

Here is a pic of whats to come

DRD I used Duplicolor high temp semi gloss paint like 4 coats. there is alot I still need to unbolt and move and finish it up.
I hope to have it back from greg this week so I can get it to work and align it to have it ready for the bbq.

[NismoTuner21]

Sickk man! My good buddy slides his S13 with an N/A 2J as well. He has an older motor with no VVT-I from a Soarer. Can't wait to see your car done! You're gonna love it!

[ixfxi]

interesting project

but


why not just buy a supra, either NA or turbo. at least you wouldnt end up with a (gasp)... 240sx.

[redhatchy92]

love the project. always wanted to see what a worked on n/a 2j can do on a light chassis. keep it up

A supra is a really heavy car at 3400 pounds and a 240 2600 pounds so this motor feels really good in this car. I have driven lots of supras and they are not a car to just go out and drift or road race.
