Damage was:

Manifold has a crack
Flexi part bent
bodykit cracked and rear bumper in 4 pieces..
backbox dented
cat back front pipe bent more than it should be..
Fmic a little scraped



Just had it back around a week manifold has been welded,





bodykit is off gettin refibreglassed and painted, going to see about sorting the exhaust tommorow today i carried on stripping it and this is where im up to now




Just want to ask did most people also strip the sound proofing just under the parcel shelf? also how do you get the main console off to get the carpet up :S

Also how do you take the airbags out? and the switch on the rear seats for the driver one ?

Thanks man just a shame i got it to sideways and ended up in a little ditch hopefully be back by next week and can continue anyone fancy answering my question :P ^^^

[S13-ste]

bang the bonnet really hard and the air bag will come out by them selfs

[FWD_Kid]

Student....?!?! What kinda Student are you lol

When I was a student the best I could do was a Mk1 Fiesta and a Vauxhall Nova (Dont laugh)

All joking aside, great looking car to start off with let alone carring on with the work. Was the rear bumper a complete lose or can it be repaired?

Look forward to seeing more.

[skinny d]

Looks sweet man . What plans have you got for it exactly ??

[alex_200sx]

Nice car dude, looks way better than you're last one.
I'll have to keep my eye out for ya at Oulton park

[JRhys]

i removed the sound proofing under the parcel shelf... really annoying job... i still need to finish it actually.

main console should be just two screws inside the tray/box compartment, then take off the gear stick facia and another two screws there. (i think)

no idea about air bags... athough i think that abs module can be left in... and you can just disconect the airbag module inside the steering wheel? a quick search on the sxoc should reveal all though.

Good luck

[xborninthefightx]

Nice car mate. With the airbig, what ever you do MAKE sure that you have disconnected the battery before trying to take them out. Start with pulling the gear stick surrounding and should see some screws. Have a look at my project thread as I had LOTS of fun with taking out the sound proofing.

[Gymbob]

Student....?!?! What kinda Student are you lol

.

Im a saving student/blow it on drift cars :P

Thanks for the comments guys and yes THE BODYKIT IS BEING REPAIRED NOW i just can't really decide what to do, just use 2 pack paint? or water based? even thought i mate of mine recons it'll look different.. even though i have the paint code but yeah i understand about weather wise

OR

vinyl it??? graphite style? or gloss red? lamborghini white with a black roof?

Also thanks for the info on the air bags will leae that for a bit though not my main priority get my exhaust all sorted again soon just wandering would it be ok to run my car around 13 miles with basically.. just a flexi on? or will it knacker the turbo seals as no backpressure also been told they don't really need them?

Start whacking away at the sound proofin on the front again after talking to phil have to use no heat gun or else knowing me il melt a lot of wires by mistake..

Someone also asked me my plans:

Lose the little bits of rust
Full drifting cage
dw button
harnesses
drift steering wheels (probably sparco or momo)
boss
power fc or vems etc
overfenders front and rear
uprated anti role bars (if not already done)
rocker arm stopper (if not in)
cams (if not in)
uprated radiator
twin fans
oil cooler
rota torques or another 2 gtr's (drift wheels)
Works vs xx
uprated brakes (probably going to be off a r34 GTR)
flocked dash maybe
extra lock arms
poly bush (if not done)

eventually also

swirl pot
fuel cell
hydrolic handbrake

That's about it really as i said im in no rush and i have a funny feeling il get a few bumps along the way but other than that lots and lots of practise

[Gymbob]

Another load bashing away.. whats the best way to get the little bits left on? as i dont really want to use tar and glue near the ecu..

[JRhys]

I found the best way to remove the little bits/glue was to soke an old tshirt in white spirit and place it over the section you want removed... leave it over night then remove and whipe with some clean rag/tshirt (using maybe a little more white spirit)


whilst that last pic is up... whats the copper cable for that is under the passanger seat? and the cable that is connected to the passanger seat, is this for heated seats?

Not that i know lol , the white ended one connects to the seatbelt.. (where it hooks up so i presume its something to do with the airbags even though it was unclipped anyway on either side) and the braided wire goes to my decat :S? presume its like another lambda?

[fast_gtst]

keep it going mate very nice colour too

[JRhys]

ah that would make sense! nice one cheers

[Gymbob]

Im not up to the foot well and the centre console :-/ wandering weather to just leave it at this point as at the minute ive left the carpet in.. how far back does it actually go? might just leave it at this point what you guys recon? as for now i want the carpet left in really.. can i always take it out later even after i put a cage in?

Also whats the orange stuff on the edge of the sound proofing on the front? like a glue? should i also chisel this all out? or leave it

[xborninthefightx]

Ive used white spirit and petrol. Petrol works better and but its strong and gets you a little high lol. Its a little long leaving it over night, just use one of those kitchen green clothe thingys and petrol.

[Gymbob]

today finished it up on the floor.. im not taking the dash out yet so il leave it as it is for a while (just generally clean it up like the back)



What has everyone done about the holes in the shell? go straight to the ground lol? just fillered them from underneath?

[Hazzles]

It's just a spare fuse. Nothing to worry about, unless your fuse box is missing one! I don't know about Nissans specifically, but the fuse box lip usually has a guide to which size/rating of fuse (i.e. the number on the top) goes in which socket. Check to see that they're all present and correct. If so, keep the spare fuse somewhere handy just in case you need it, if not, replace as necessary.

[Gymbob]

ok thanks hazzles so basically it can fit in any port.. if needed
