My 200sx ps13 build (lots of pics)

[roplusbee]

I wish the 200SX I had in Italy was that clean when I got it, but my CA wasn't broken. It was just poorly maintained and the turbo was dead. Good job on the build. Looks like you used quality parts and didn't take any shortcuts. Personally, I don't like the look of the Silvia front on a fastback, but love it on the coupe. But good job nonetheless...............

[pahaf]

nice, love the build. the CA18 looks horrible lol

[-***JOKER***-]

very nice project

[atutt]

Wait... So you guys have all the benefits of the JDM Silvia's. Yet, the benefits of having everything conditioned for LHD?

Instant winz...i Want S14 kouki lights, lol

Then, saw this:



I personally would have left it alone just because of how ridiculously awesome the condition of it is, but it does look very promising.

Just get the parts paint matched and you'll be set.

Definitely a nice build.

I totally agreed. OHHHH SOOOOO CLEAN....THEN....disappointment. Love it under the hood tho.

[flip3d]

car of my dreams.

[deolio]

NICE and clean build.

Agreed that you should've kept it with the original flip up head lights and maybe just get a type-x front. But to each their own.

The kouki you got the SR from was spotless. I wish I could have my engine bay look like that:

[Zero-Offset]

Looks fantastically clean, as said by everyone else,
but any plans to replace those 'ugly' projectors with bricks?
It would complete the front end!

[kalypso123]

that front lip is dope.

the wheel fitment could get a little more crazy tho, but overall its a sick car.

[xplicit240]

[OBEEWON]

Yes we do the rs13 200sx's only came with the ca18det's and the s14 200sx's only came with the blacktop vvt sr20det's.

Yes, I deal quite a lot with them, and they've been great to me. At the time they had a lot of used wheels in stock, I also ordered new parts from them and parts from the yahoo auctions and they put everything in that box. If I remember correctly filling the box and shipping cost me 950,- euro's (without contents) with a weight limit of 1000kg's, that's a long time ago though, currency rates were a lot different and the yen rate was really low back then. The box was shoved inside a sea container and I had to pick it up at the harbour in Rotterdam myself. I don't know if they still do boxes like this, but for used parts from the yahoo auctions they have a new website Real Time Bidding on Japanese - bidJDM .

Some updates on the car:

The Grex sandwichplate/oil adapter block cracked after I screwed in an oil pressure sensor too tight (bye $),


Used that as an excuse to order a tomei n2 oilblock, it came in just yesterday together with a new 88mm q45 tb gasket. Instructions with torque settings for fitting sensors were also included.


Fitted the Greddy breathertank with a selfmade aluminium bracket, and I also got new Mikalor Supra W4 stainless hose clamps (still have to order one for the q45 tb) (please note there is masking tape on the intake plenum badge because I am going to polish it, it is an original greddy item not a fake without the badge)


Blurryness :P


Brakes preview (the 324discs still need drilling for the 4x114.3 lug patern so these are just the stock 280mm discs)


(The calipers are fitted here with temporary brackets as I have some problems with the originals.)

They're endless 6-pots with endless r33 gt-r size 324mm 2-piece endless discs, endless brake lines and endless sss pads, I have z32 2-pots for the rear.

Found a place to stay for the Blitz voice guided turbo timer.


Placed the oilcooler and measured/cut/fitted all the oil lines with the earl's fittings (exept for the tomei oil block, that's for the upcoming weekend)

[wannabdr1ftr]

very nice parts you got there...

[R@tch]

Thanks, I have a weakness for nice parts, like an addiction really .

The sard 850cc were not exactly plug&play like the nismo's but they're in. I had the fuel rail re-galvanised, polished the injector caps and used socket-cap screws instead of the worthless Nissan screws.

[clark]

i give you my sister.


great build. all you guys with these really clean builds...i don't know how you do it...seriously. compared to you i'm a slob.

[R@tch]

Almost everything on the intake side is finished, fitting the tomei oil block with the engine in was quite a hassle. Finished polishing the greddy intake, I have very limited tools so it didn't turn out as I had hoped but it will have to do (until I ever get better tools). Refurbished the throttle body somewhat and custom made an aluminium bracket for the throttle cable. Everything is bolted/torqued with new nissan gaskets so I hope I won't have to take it apart for a long time coming.

[wannabdr1ftr]

so many goodies under the hood

[Touge Noob S13]

Love your choice of parts, no cheap or knock-off crap anywhere.

[Csomme]

Wow. Wonderfully done sir.

[R@tch]

Thanks all . The interior is taking shape, fitted the recaro spg seat on the drivers side and moved the recaro sr to the passenger side. I used the standard sliders and made some brackets myself, it doesn't sit too high.





Received a package yesterday evening with brackets for the 6-pot compact mini's, with these I can fit them with standard sized s14 280mm discs (sumitomo 4-pots with 280mm discs are standard in europe) as opposed to the 'inch up' 324mm discs. Now I can fit smaller wheels whenever I feel like it.... without having to fit other calipers/bleed the brakes.

[stenJDM]

wow, its really really clean. quite hard to find a s13 without rust. i love the silvia front, just paint it. and yeah, you should consider brick headlights. such a small thing changes alot

[Quail]

That engine bay is so clean. I've saved pics of it to my PC to use it for inspiration for my own.

I love the period specificness of your build. Old skool gauges, sensible wheel/tyre fitment. Really nice

[Persona]

Very very nice build! Your engine bay has me drooling, keep it up!

[Lucas180]

Such a nice clean build i really would love to see someone keep a clean S13 stock though lol, might be worth alot someday like older cars with all the paper works!

[udon!]

holy baller parts!

[rakooda]

Clean build! How long ago did you start on this project? and I want that Blitz Voice-Guided turbo timer! lol those things are bad ass! Just out of curiosity, can you change the language? or is it defaulted to Japanese? You should post up a video one of these days ;P

[mattro]

wow. thats nice. i would have left it pop up style though, very clean build.

[memphis180sx]

awsome build great work
