93 200sx s13, NFS Underground is back! Hey everyone. My name's Quentin, I'm from France. After owning many Honda and tried Subaru, I had the opportunity to buy a car I was looking at for now 10 years. It's pretty awesome for me to get one since it was pretty much on of my dream car! I found the add here on Driftworks forum. I flew to Scotland and met Ewan, to get this beauty and damn! It's awesome, I love it. Well, it's super loud, super unconfortable, super fancy, but meh I should survive! So huge thanks to him for being pretty serious and legit about the sale. I had a 12h trip to get back to France and everything went well. So first the specs: Engine T28 APEXI air filter Toyosport front mount intercooler w/ hard pipes Toyosport alluminium radiator Tubular exhaust manifold Full elbow back Toyosport exhaust 3" through to 4" backbox Turbonoz stage 1 ecu Horsham developments 255l/h uprated fuel pump Chassis Driftworks cs1 coilovers VLSD 25mm 5 stud conversion spacers s14 front brake calipers HELL braided brake lines Rear strut brace Riverside Altstadt wheels 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 Falken ZE914 tyres in 225/40/18 and 235/40/18 Interior Recaro reclining bucket seat Aftermarket stearing wheel Handbrake button Car is stripped out in the rear Exterior Kinzuru Auto Salon 180sx kit 326 power rep spoiler Altezza taillights Recent respray Recently undersealed Here's how I get the car with stock taillights and R33 GTR wheels First mods I bought without even having the car yet New wheels And the taillights When removing lights I had a pretty hard time with the taillights wire, but after figured this out, I was working correctly. I still have the fog light to wire but I will wait. And here's how it sits after that! Now, I'm waiting for chrome decals to make the car a bit more unique. I would like to give it some kind of a D1GP car look. I hope you'll enjoy it. I trying to learn how the car feels and react before trying to skid it.
Yeah you're right, it's pretty clean now and I love it, but I always wanted a drift car with decals. It should looks good. I'm planning a Signal Auto splash design decal with some other smaller ones here and here.
Salut Quentin, Superbe S13 mais je suis pas fan du tout des nouveau feux arriere... J'espere que tu les changeras pour la version kouki Bonne continuation... (rabaisse la au max ) Yann
Hey Quentin, hope you stayed on the correct side of the road all the way home! (I saw Ewan's "goodbye car" post on facebook ) Glad to see you aren't sticking around with thing and getting stuck in with the mods straight away! I look forward to seeing pictures of it used in anger!
Salut Yann ! Merci pour ton message, ça fait plaisir ! Pour les feux arrières, c'est une question de gouts, je voulais quelque chose d'un peu différent, et personnellement, j'aime beaucoup. Le problème des feux kouki est qu'ils valent très cher d'occasion et que beaucoup de gens cherchent à en mettre. Pour le rabaissement, j'aimerais bien la rabaisser plus, le problème étant que la voiture ne pourra plus sortir de chez moi. A cette hauteur, je décroche le pare choc avant une fois sur deux. Je dois trouver une manière de sortir la voiture sans l'abimer, et je verrais pour la rabaisser à ce moment là ! Ahah! Yeah, I felt so stupid when I saw cars coming at me. I was so excited by getting the car I totally forget to stay on the left side. But don't worry, I've been careful the rest of the trip! Yeah, I wanted to give my small personnal touch as fast as possible, plus the fact I really dislike the oem taillights and the gtr wheels. I really hope I'll be able to find a drift day not to far from my place soon, but sadly in France, we don't have many of these. I can't wait to trash it on a track!
Hey every one. Not much new around here. Trying to enjoy the car before leaving France for work. The car is still running fine except that it only takes 0.4 on boot, may have a leak somewere. And also, it's consumming a lot of cooling water. No smoke and no funny noise so I think it's a leak too instead of the worst case, the head gasket. I also finaly recieved my stickers after more than a month. It should be something between these two cars. Hope you'll enjoy it. I'm starting to put everything tomorrow.
Where did you get those rear lights from? I'm struggling to find any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Get them from ebay us mate, the guy ships fast. Here's the link Smoke altezza Tail Lights Fits Nissan 180sx 200SX 240sx S13 | eBay
Winner, thank you. Never really bought anything from America before but, he seems to have good reviews. Great build, giving me some ideas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Haha you're welcome They have tons of good stuff, but it's expensive in term of shipping charge, and it's only if they're willing to send the parts. So, I started to put the stickers on. Hoped I could do more this morning but it was really cold. I'm a bit disappointed since when I ordered the signal auto decal, I asked chrome with white outline, and that outline is a bit too large imo. And also, I should have put it a bit closer to the headlight. Oh well, I'll wait until it's finished to see how it will come. Sorry for the super shitty pictures, my phone camera glass is broken Now I have to figure out how to put sponsor decals. The top of each other on the door or side to side on the side skirt... If you have any suggestions, I'm open.
Thanks mate! Sorry for the late answer, didn't you you replied. So the stickers came from an online shop called Acromann ( Acromann Online Shop ), nice guy, good comunication, and pretty good quality.
Hi everyone. After a month stopped because of various engine issues, the car is finally runing. Not feeling totaly fine since the car seems to make a lot of funny noise, but I love it. Gone to a Belgium meet and manage to get some decent picture of the car made by a good friend. I invite you to check his FB page. https://www.facebook.com/kosofficiel/
Thanks sir. Ok, I managed to install my neon lights. I'm super happy with the render. Now my car looks like I've always wanted, like it's out of the first Fast and Furious movie. Ricer king!
