{} {} {} Pic by Dangan This is my s13 that i have been building for about a year. I just started to drift it so thought i would start a thread on here. Here is the spec so far: Chassis Apex gen 1 track coilovers solid subframe bushers (raise subframe 10mm) R33 rear hubs S14 front hubs R33 bottom arms Godspeed uprated anti roll bars with poly bushes godspeed front and rear lower arms godspeed toe, traction, camber, and tension rods Work Equip wheels 8x17, 9x17 15mm front bolt on spacers 25mm spacers bolt on spacers Extra lock modification on steering rack Solid steering bush New rack bushes Rack moved forward 18mm Rack modded for equivalent of 8mm spacer on d/side and 10mm on p/side Rear upper strut brace Homebrew lower brace Strengthened tension rod brackets sump guard Brakes 300zx front brakes ds2500 pads r33 rear brakes stock pads S14 silvia Brake master cylinder abs removed Running Gear rb25det engine ruckus racing engine mounts primera p11 Clutch master clinder Braided clutch line Solid mounted R33 GTst diff (welded) R33 drive shafts rb25 gearbox Greedy profec b Greedy style inlet manifold Japspeed turbo elbow Blueflame 3" exhaust system ASI 55mm ally rad Ebay intercooler kit (modded) RPS Max puck clutch (SRB group buy) blitz lm cone filter no recirc Interior hydraulic handbrake Back half stripped Suede deep dish steering wheel Exterior Front bumper cut out chargespeed carbon hatch srb polycarbonate rear screen srb carbon rooftip spoiler supermade skirts I also have a chargespeed ps13 carbon bonnet, supermade ps13 front bumper, carbon roof skin, gtr style grill. Should also have some genuine origin fender roll overfenders and iam waiting for front wings and a different set of work wheels too arrive from japan. Iam in need of a supermade 180 rear bumper, i will probably end up with a epr item. Kev
A little bit about the car. I bought the car back in jan 08 from wadebridge in kernow. It had a duff turbo and a gash jap can but only cost me £500. I drove it for a short while with duff turbo until I found a replacement turbo. The engine lasted 200 miles witht the new turbo and then lost compression. I decided I had already had enough of the ca18 and choose to put in an rb25det. I got told to ring paul at jdm garage for the bits I needed and they also did the wiring for me, also the reason that I started to get really interested in drifting. Fast forward 12 months and I have just got it too a spec that Iam happy to take on practice days. I know that seat time is more important than the car and also that I don't need all the bits to have fun, but I wanted something I can use properly without worrying that it won't get me home at the end of the day.

pics {} {} {} {} {} {} {} still needs the inner arches cleaning up and painting and also a few of the brackets attached the subframe need cleaning up and painting. kev
some more pics. {} {} {} {} Got a problem here. {} The bottom arms are wound in as much as possible but i still have too much camber. When we wind off camber today (if the guy answers his phone ) there won't be any clearance. so my options are. 1. more stretch 2. more ride height 3. remove the 25mm spacer and machine it down at work to get the desired fitment 4. remove the 25mm spacer and widthen my track by 20mm ish Also sorted my exhaust and wrapped it with some exhaust wrap that i had lying about. no pics of the modsor the welds iam afraid. i forgot to take any :annoyed: {} {} Much better ground clearance now Hopefully i will be able to update later with good news that the alignments sorted. kev
Some more pics A couple of my own made parts. Rear lower brace. {} Extra lock inner joints. {} {} Modded Rack crossmember, rack forward by 18mm {} {} SRB Power Carbon rear window spoiler {} {} {} {} Must say thanks to Ian at JDM Graphix for making me a superb Skull and bones sticker in Halo vinyl whilst i remember My dads wagon {} More pics to follow
Crossmember jig i made, its pretty basic but i took loads of measurments and used a couple datum points to ensure it stayed square. {} I had no probs refitting it and there was even enough adjustment in the column to take up the extra slack. On the rollers @ Allan jeffers {} 290.5 bhp @ 0.8bar on stock map {} {} {} {} Engine bay is starting to get there now, needs more wiring, plumbing, resevoir, brake line and relay/fuse box tuck. Heres a head drain that iam making for when the engine/engine bay comes out for overhaul {} {} more pics coming soon
Got these in japan, Just waiting for Paul from JDM garages container to be filled (its almost full, so buy stuff from him and fill it quicker) and then they will be on theyre way {} IIRC they are 18x12j -4 on the rear and 18x9.5 +11 These wings are on the same container My front bumper {} Waiting on photobucket to change page now
These are the s13 lights iam using {} {} Carbon gtr style grill {} Diff solid bushes, its an r33 diff by the way, its been welded {} column bush {} shamless {}
Some pics of me struggling with 55mm rad and viscous fan. I wanted the viscous because most peeps i know with this conversion have major cooling issues. Pics courtesy of Mark from JDM Garage
Heres some pics by Paul from JDM Garage of me and Chris trying to look busy. Damn iam in need of a wig or some shit {} {} Chargespeed bonnet and tailgate and SRB Power carbon roof skin [DIV][/DIV] [DIV][/DIV]
Ah shit really? Good stuff by the way Kev, its coming on fast, you must be minted! You going Llandow next month? Aug the 12th? Im going.
Yeah Adam I will be going unless there is problems with my car. The staffy that was at JDM open day was Nismo, Tyson got ran over on the eve of new years eve, just before we left for lydd drift practice day very sad time for everyone, he was such a cool doggy. Nismo is equaly cool though
Some pics of how my handbrakes are fitted. Ignore the bird poo welding, its hard to do good welding, whilst holding the carpet back and being on fire watch, squinty eyes for protection. lol. {} {} {} {} {} {} Need to get a bucket seat fitted before llandow, i did without last time and it was fairly anoying. I only have a pair of monacos spare so i will have to wedge a ginsters down either side to make them the right size for me. kev
