View Full Version : Was only meant to change a spark plug!!!
Another project thread finds its way onto the board s :)
Now the John Deere is up and running, it was time to get my car into the garage (Cheers to Dunkz for letting me use it to do the car) as she's due a rebuild (131k on the clock) and im also getting a fair bit of blue smoke!. She was washed and rolled inside where she sat waiting for us to start work, work started on her Friday night when we unbolted very little as we were both too tired after working all day. So night one was a bit of a waste.
Got up this morning around 9am and was raring to go so i headed to tesco grabbed a few supplies and then onto the garage.
Im not going to narrate everything as i really cant be arsed :wack: pictures say more than words. Ill get a list of what were doing etc later :)
So heres what we got done today from around 10am until i left at 11pm :)
Found there was a Drift Tractor parked behind me in the garage!!!

Bloody hell, how are the crank seals looking dan?
I was wondering when you were going to get it running again! :)
Best keep this updated :)
So i took the Block and head into work still connected with one bloody stud that decided it wanted to round off :cry: So we popped it onto the Drill and got stuck in :)
We drilled the head off the stud using a 12.5mm drill.

What it looked like once drilled

Lifted the head off leaving the stud
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/IMG_0155.jpg
Popped a piston out to have a look at one of the bores..

Also noticed a line going between 2 of the bores... Luckily it turned out to be a scratch :hurl:
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/IMG_0162.jpg
The Block has been degreased, powerwashed and is in the stages of being masked for painting.
Now to decide what colour to do it lol!
White! Do it white!
or silver i suppose
No THAT is a drill.
Good work and lunchtime tom-foolery.:D
White! Do it white!
or silver i suppose
Anyone got pictures of a white block :p
Was thinking of Gun metal gray myself... white will be a bitch to keep. :(
Have you changed the spark plug yet though? :confused:
:D
Right ive not updated this in a week or so..
Sadly ive not always had a camera on me at work to get pictures :(
Anyways... I decided that i was going to the hassle of ripping it to bits i may aswell make it look fresher when is back together. So we collected the multiple brackets that hold everything together and put them in a box and took them to my work, once at work the threaded parts were blanked and the lot was sand blasted to bare metal.
The block was taken back to the garage where we painted it a bright silver (i know how original!! :wack: )

Heres a box of Blasted parts..
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/P6010211_800x600.jpg
After about 7 days looking at colours to spray my cam covers and other brackets i finally decided.. so we needed to prime everything..
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/P6020223_800x600.jpg
(also Blasted my cam covers with a softer blast ;) easier than sanding it LOL)
Its the primer witch project

The head was stripped down a few weekends ago apart from removing the stem seals, so i took the head to work and removed the with a mixture of Long nose pliers/ a Seal Pick and a few swear words :)
the head was then degreased and power washer to remove all the crud around the valve area (a mixture of carbon and burnt on oil) the degreaser made easy work of that and made the head fairly clean.
The valves were in some state... Dunkz and Fud........... AYE will vouch that they were almost binners lol... the Crap was molded round them and no amount of Stanley knife and screwdrivering was making it move. We tried petol, diesel, oil, degreaser they all failed...
I called nissan to price new valves :wack: as i thought this would be as easy and as cheap LOL... Nope £33.80 Per Valve :cry:
Ended up cleaning them up on a pedestal grinder with wire wheel :)
At about 11pm on saturday night we decided to rebuild the head :wack:
heres some pictures

Wasnt the most painless removal.. he used tweezers :hurl:

We would do but were always borrowing them ourselves. That ones from Danny's work and if thats not available then various local friends tend to sort us out.
I think i've still got paint in my hair from walking into dangling bracketry!

Yeah and i should probably get it back to work asap... forgot im off a week ::annoyed: oops.
Right not a great amount has happened since i last updated so this one will be short...
I am how ever now skint due to the holiday :cry: Thank Fook for Plastic ;)
Over the past 2 nights ive stripped the inlet plenum down to clean it all up, took the Butterfly valve off and had a look in, everything seemed ok until i took the Rear cover off :wack:
Summit to think about if you cars using oil in my opinion, the oil inside was about 1 -2mm thick all round the back end of the plenum. took a fair while to get cleanish. :indiff:
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/P6260269.jpg
Tonight we also stripped down the pistons, cleaned them up, fitted the new rings to the pistons and Honed the Bores of the block :)

As i said a short update! Cheers for Looking :)
:thumbs:
Done some more work today... in fact i was still at work at 6:15pm doing stuff and i finish at 4:30 :cry:
I took the plenum and sump in today to get a clean up, firstly the plenum took a dip into the "tumbler" (basically a big vibrating bath filled with polishing stones) of a few hours to try get the worst of the crap from the inside out. it seemed to do the job :)
I then used a scotch bright wheel thinking that would finish it off but it didn't look as good as i thought it would :( so i gave it a coating instead :)
Below you can see the colour it was before i started and the finished item

http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/P6270271.jpg
I done the same to the manifold/Injector holding plate :)
The fuel rail was all grotty too so it got a nice coating of matt black to finish it off :)
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/P6270274.jpg
The Sump Had a few rusty bits so i buffed them back gave it a quick degrease and a few coats of Gloss Black
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/P6270272.jpg
Now when the plenum was in the tumbler the ECCS sticker got knocked off... it now looks a bit bland, anyone got any ideas on what i could put on there?
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/strip%20down/P6270275.jpg
Cheers for looking again :) Comments please :)

Dam good going mate ;) Good work :D
It seems you forgot to mention "the big gay gearbox" So this is what the original gerabox looks like:
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g199/duncan_h_taylor/other%20peoples%20cars/Picture006.jpg
And again after its had the danny treatment, I'm sure you can tell why its been dubbed the big gay gearbox. I might add you could smell the stench from that stuff you used to clean it outside my house for days.

Cheers for putting that up mate :indiff: :wack: :ghey:
Here we go again with the weekends progress :)
Ok you seen the mess the plenum was in inside a post or two ago, it was thick with oil and gunk. Heres what it looks like inside now :)

Its been good fun, learnt loads in the process :)
But be prepared for the car to be off the road for a while lol
Good to see u get stuck into her danny :thumbs:
plenum has come up crackin mate :nod:
would be nice to have access to ur works machines, u lucky fcuker.
only thing id say to u is to straighten up the sump, its taken a hefty knock to the bottom, u may even find it will restrict oil take up to the strainer mate, not sure bout that, but not worth the risk imo.
when ur sticking it all back together, what i do is stick the thing upside down and fill the pump with oil, and rotate the engine by hand, and basically keep doing this till u have *clean* oil coming out each cavity :wack:
(esspecially the oil feed)
even though the block as cleaned i guarantee u there will be some crappy oil sitting oin the oil ways, mine had been acid bathed and it still was.
btw did u clean the crap out of the main breather u see on the firts few pics??
possible the blockage was causing ur smoke mate:)

Cheers for the input and comments mate :) Wish hannah thought the same lol..
Trying to split my time with her and the car.. plus i have a few side jobs doing for other people lol
I think the Sump may have been knocked at the first ingilston drift day when i mounted the hairpin hill :rolleyes:
ill try beat it out :)
Hoping to have the engine fully built this week... but most of our time will be put toward the John Deere getting it ready for JAE and F&M. Plus no doubt Fudiiiiiiiii's car will break down again :wack:
Awesome post mate!
Aint bin on ere for a while due to work commitments etc but have bin thro to montrose a few times recently and wondered why i hadnt seen any of you about! And now i know why! haha
Top effort mate and as for the missing plate on the inlet manifold i say get it inscribed with something but not sure what?
Cheers Aj
Wee update for you all. Not much has been done of late as we've been at a lot of events so apart from collecting some new shiny bits and a spot of welding nothing much has changed. But very shortly she can start going back together
strut tops have both been tidied up:

Lol me eyes were closed :p
Safe enough for me ;)
should have had safety glasses on but they went AWOL and we needed to cut :D
Cheers for putting this up Dunkz was thinking about it today at work lol.
The strut tops are getting a skim of filler to finish them off and then a paint.
might take some pics when i head up later on and do another mini update ;)
Cheers for the comments guys :thumbs:
No real progress going on...
Between work, the missus and the car its been a cnut to get motivated :(
went up the other day tho and got the timing cover finished in paint and got it fitted :)
The cam covers are Painted in Rover Nightfire Red and the timing covers done in Peugeot Graphite Grey.
The Plug covers yet to be finished :)
Mocked up the turbo/elbow setup so i can take measurements for bracing :)

Took my flywheel into work also to get skimmed.. Seen it had cracks on the surface and i panicked lol
So a quick thread on here Via Dunkz confirmed they were just heat cracks and a skin would do fine :)
Heres the damage:

last pics aint showing for me Danny :confused:
btw could i suggest, since u guys have welded the intereior so far back, to add another couple of inches of plate till it meets the rear seat pan, as this will be where the roll cage will mount to, so good to give it max strength there:)

last pics aint showing for me Danny :confused:
btw could i suggest, since u guys have welded the intereior so far back, to add another couple of inches of plate till it meets the rear seat pan, as this will be where the roll cage will mount to, so good to give it max strength there:)
Works fine here and at work :confused:
Ohhhh are you giving me a roll cage :p :wack: PLEASE :D
ill see what i can do with that cheers kev :thumbs:

its an xspower one converted to t2 flange :)
its an xspower one converted to t2 flange :)
Yeah as Ben said its a XS power thats had a bit of felting and now fits T2 Flanged Turbo's.. Also a 3" Custom Made elbow :D
New shiny bits arrived this week :D More Info will be posted soon :D
wow this reminds me when my mates skyline broke. massive chunk out the bore. new engine and to be replaced with bits from the old one. lmao. great thing was it was the first engine that we have ever done. and rb25det engine is a bad place to start. but when a bricklayer and a factory worker puts there mind to it. they realise there in the wrong jobs. lol.
but it looks like you've done this before lol. good job and good luck on the rest of it!
This is my First Engine build :)
But i have mates that have built a few :) As ive said before its been a huge learning experience, I now know how an engine goes together and works and how easy things can bugger you up :p
This project wouldnt have been so easy or "clean looking" if it wasnt for my wor letting me do parts after time and at lunch etc :D
Just want to get it done and get it on the road :D

Did you have to do any additional bracing on that top mount XS manifold?
Did you have to do any additional bracing on that top mount XS manifold?
Ive not done any Yet... but will be doing some before it gets fully bolted up :) Ive heard the horror stories of XS Power Manifolds cracking... do a little research and find out where to brace :)

Was just wondering, I'd looked into this a while back with the intention of getting a turbo from ATP with the correct housing to mate with the flange. I'd read that the XS top mount manifold was pretty good compared to some of their other efforts and didn't need bracing.
Still, if your sitting a big turbo on the end of it I don't suppose some bracing would hurt :)
hey guys just noticed yous have managed to remove the crank pulley while the engine was out, how did you manage to get this done?
also is the crank breather pipe under the inlet manifold and goes to the box shaped thing above the oil filter?

Sorry for the Delay in the reply lol
If i remember correctly we cracked it when it was still connected to the gearbox in the engine bay... one of the first jobs we done...
However dunkz engine came out with the crank bolt well and truly still in place and we took it to a local tyre fitter and got them to windy gun it off :)
If your meaning how did we get the actual pulley off.. well that involved swearing, a mallet, 2 massive screwdrivers and alot of wiggling :)

lol yeh the boy at the engineer place said the same when i took the crank to him i asked how he did it all he said was "A BIG ****IN HAMMER!" :smash:
just need to get the bolt off for the pulley, gonna try 1 idea but if that fails then ill pretty much be screwed. did the guys at the tyre place jam the crank at all?

Sounds like a plan!! I think i still have your mob number i will pm 2 confirm but would be good to see the work you have done.
Not too bad just fitted some braided hoses because my standard ones split after fitting a manifold, will be fitting a track rod this afternoon and hopefully that will be all today.
pm coming your way!!
Cheers Aj
Right times running out on me :cry:
Im currently using my brothers Clio to get about but his test is in 2 weeks :eek:
So i went up the garage yesterday and done some more stuff :)
i sprayed the welds on top of the struts with a Zinc Galv spray and then coated them in filler :)
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/DSCN1912.jpg
Then rubbed it back and gave a quick prime to check for high bits... there are a few but those will get fixed soon :)

While doing the brake pipes we found these holes in the passenger inner wing so i wire bushed the lot back and started work on fixing it.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild20102007/DSCN1935.jpg
I then used the wire brush on a grinder and took all the crap off and painted it Black :) Seen it on another thread here and it looked good so we shamelessly stole the idea (so thumbs up to that guy).

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild20102007/DSCN1951.jpg
There was also 2 holes in the chassis leg where the drain holes had rusted out. so we cut them away and welded em up :)
They then got undersealed after a wire brush attack!

Sadly i forgot to take pictures of the underside :( Ill try get some when im up next.
We decided the Garage was a Tip and the mice were starting to pi$$ duncans mum off :wack: so we decided to tidy the garage before getting duncans car thru to remove his engine so we could copy the pipework (his engines getting stipped)

Yep custom water pipes as Duncans car had problems with a few of the harder to reach ones, so we made copper one and used new pipe.

What you think?! Good or Bad idea?!
We then set about the Manifold and its cracking due to the weight of the turbo etc problem
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild27102007/DSCN1986.jpg
So we too a peice of Angle and shaped, bent and drilled it to fit and then welded it onto the manifold. it bolts onto one of the Engine mount brackets and stiffens it all up really well id say :)

Cheers for looking :thumbs:
well done:thumbs: you certainly dont mess around pugger, and its good to see some things being done differently, keep it up:nod:
we were hoping to have her ready for the road by yesterday but all the extra welding put us several days behind schedule and another holiday spent in the garage instead of with my feet up relaxing.

Mind if I steal the scoop idea? My panel has rusted and although I've just bought a headlight scoop, the more fresh air the better...
Well done so far... :thumbs:

And Spezer help yourself mate Hope it works
surely i get to say if people can use it or not! :) Which you can but, i'd advise keeping it small. Originally we were gonna curve it right down but it would be gulping up too much air. We might still put a nacca duct in the bonnet if it starts lifting at speed.
never even thought about bonnet lift...

Why would that be then?! I suggested the scoop i'm pretty sure! (thus why i cut it and didnt ponder over it for weeks on end ) :p
And yeah bonnet lift may be a problem but You could just raise the rear of the bonnet with washers like some people do on here for cooling :)
nice work mate. looking very good :thumbs:
nice work mate. looking very good :thumbs:
Cheers mate :D
Ive enjoyed it most of the time :wack:
lol, i've been on about putting a scoop in there as long as i've been on about a top mount! :) the reason you were pondering is cause it took me a few weeks to convince you to do! Its bad enough you take my ideas but i'm not letting you take credit for them. :wack: :D
maybe I should start my own thread and take the credit for the scoop on that! :D
Woohoo Tomorrow we do the final wiring clean up and Prep for sundays Project Bonnet Vent ;)
Right wiring... what a horrible job that is...
But needs must for a tidier bay... We have moved the Battery to the boot, run the main power line to behind the drivers strut and generally stripped all the wires down and made then shorter and a bit more neat,, but its still not done :(

Now we needed a box to connet the main 12v line from the battery to a buzz bar that would connect to everything else... so we looked around... dunkz is using a tupperware box for his but that wouldnt cut it in mines.... then a stroke of genius... why not hide it in the alarm.. (dosnt work, new one getting installed) so we took it to bits :D

Now for project Bonnet vent :D
So as some of you may have seen further back
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild27102007/DSCN2001.jpg
i have custom fabricated up a cold air scoop to the filter to allow loads and loads of cold air in, now the problem with us doing this is the air needs to be able to flow freely past the filter and not become dead air that may lift the bonnet at speed (we really don't want that).
So we have spend numerous weekends talking about how to let air out, and Dunkz decided the only non "chav" insert vent he would allow me to use was a NACA duct... But to be honest i wasn't to keen. But needs must.. we have no other neat ways to cut vent in my bonnet.
Until Last week... I had a brain storm (yes it hurt):wack:
Id do it at work... So me and dunkz masked the bonnet up and drew what we wanted/thought looked good...
heres what we came up with:

Took a few hours to do with setting up and work had me do a job whilst i was in lol
Heres the finished project..
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild19112007/18112007179.jpg
Its nothing lairy even tho we could have went crazy on it... i have some stainless steel mesh that i have sprayed black to put under it :D
Heres a video of it in action... its so loud because of height of the bonnet off the water it distorts the speaker on duncans phone, We removed no bracing before cutting.

What you all think?! Im chuffed it came out so well and it was free :D
Cheers for looking again..

wish i had read this sooner.
the air thats rammed up to the filter wont lift the bonnet Danny, it will get sucked up by the filter mate.............
if the air going in is under pressure to get sucked in, all the better really.
and btw u can all use the idea of the scoop;)
http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showpost.php?p=3206498&postcount=72
Yeah my idea:p
and thats also why i know it wont lift the bonnet at all;)
all the vent above my filter did when i made one several years ago (done it as a nissan emblem:wack: ) was let the rain drip onto the filter.:(

him mate, this is my first time reading the thread and ive got to say that i enjoyed it and damn im impressed!!! you've done a great job and the result is starting to reflect the work put in.
keep up the good work, don't worry i'll be checking back regular now :nod:
Matt
Right been a while since the update, And a lot has happened!!!
So ill blast some pics of work done etc and some text where needed :D
Right so we hung the Intercooler from a S14 and used a Apex pipework kit (with some mods) to fit it to my S13 nice and tight into the body, custom made 'dexi' strip hangers FTW

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/DSCN2071.jpg
Fitted the DB Power Rad and added some deadening to stop it knocking/rubbing.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/DSCN2095.jpg
Now a Mojor Problem we encountered was that the top mount and Custom down pipe/elbow i bough didn't exactly line up with the standard exhaust position... in fact it was miles off
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P1130617.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P1130618.jpg
So in our wisdom we done this to my silenced Apex bitty...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P1130621.jpg
After a bit of choppy choppy twisty pulley etc we got it looking like this
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P1130622.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P1130623.jpg
Its an Apex type 1 exhaust iirc and didn't have much ground clearance so we sorted that while we were at it.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/DSCN2163.jpg
Had it TIG welded at work and a plate wrapped round and stitched to give it a little less stress :)
So a few weeks ago we made a list of jobs we could think of still to do and posted it on the wall...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/DSCN2161.jpg
Started work on the Intercooler hot side pipework, ordered up hoses and started trying to work out where to fit it all in.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P1190627.jpg

Yes thats standard pipework we cleaned up :D
Then we sized up the filter pipework and trimmed to suit.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P1190631.jpg
and fitted the rest of the IC pipes and silicone Rad pipes
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/PICT0060.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/PICT0061.jpg
So we come to Saturday, by now we had all the pulleys/belts/clips breathers etc inplace and we were all set at about 7pm to fire her up... put in oil, water/coolant done checks fitted the oil pressure gauge...
Then we connected the battery.. and the alarm went off.. the immobiliser was flashing and would not disengage. So Gutted we tideied up and went home...
On sunday mid day we were back and ready to go... had no idea why the alarm was being ghey sooo we decided to ermm rip it out (its getting a new one anyway) :wack:
Dunkz started ripping into it
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P3020633.jpg
and found this hidded way up inside the dash
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P3020634.jpg
within an hour he had professionally removed it
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P3020635.jpg
Which gave us Power
he also fitted my Greddy FATT
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Rebuild2008_001/P3020636.jpg
So sunday night about 8 pm we done our checks, tightened the one little water leak we found and prepped for the start. Got my mates vectra in place to help the battery out.
Removed the plugs and fuel pump fuse and cranked he over to get the oil moving... put it all back together again and.....
Well.. ermmm
Lets say it didnt go the way i was expecting it to...
This is what happened

BTW it sounds raspy because the was a bolt missing on the exhaust housing on the tubby... we didnt notice until it started up
Huge thanks to Duncan for his help and james for giving us a hand on saturday and sunday!

not required for initial startup, still loads of little bits to take care of. It can be seen in the video though if you look closely. :)
How can you thank chaffe, all he did was stand around and poke us with screw drivers while we finished everything off. :wack:
Also the AFM was unplugged when we fired that, didnt realise till about 5 minutes in till we tried to raise the revs. :D

So this weekend we mainly spent 3 hours trying to get a rust porous sump off of a 1.2 Punto to then find that that if you give James a crowbar and he puts it through the side of said rotten sump to break the seal he will also break the oil pick up pipe too :annoyed:
then spent today doing stuff to mine :D
Its Update time :nod:
So this morning we found some rust on the door hinges we had forgotten about.. so we rubbed them back and painted em up :)

Sweet dude! the hard work has really paid off :nod:
You should give chaffe a shout and see if he's got a spare minute to spray that front splitter this week so we can get it mounted as it looks a bit bare without it! Also did you remeber to take the heat shield for the turbo away to roll?
looking good ;)
keep up, always nice to see another s13 coming back to life heheh

Ordered My Brake Pads and Caliper Seal Kit today and i should get my 315mm disks on thursday :)
Now to decide what colour to paint my calipers :D
Just a quick update,
I took the apexi filter into work today and made a nice $hit shield to stop water from the bonnet vent getting sucked into the engine.
Heres a few pics, Its not great and i made it in 15mins on my lunch but it'll do :)
Lemmie know what you think.

Just need to get my E36 M3 Discs picked up... and im sorted :D
what callipers are you using for those discs, i thought they were too big for the s14 and z32 callipers, altho i have thought about using them and GTR skyline fronts before with the same brackets
Were just using a set of s14 calipers. e36 m3 discs are 315x28 and s14 are 280x30 so they'll fit fine. :thumbs:

No you dont ever want to have to do all the stuff we've had to do tho this car :cry:
Weve had good times and ALOT of stressed bad times when you keep finding rust in places rust should never be lol, But its worth it now... so close to the end :nod:
But if you do start a project like this make sure you have an understanding missus OR a Spare room and sleeping bag :D :wack:
I have the Later :p
Soooo close i can smell the burnt rubber :D
soooo we fitted the S14 calipers (Cheers Dunkz matey again :D ) to my car and fitted the wheels to find that the wheel offset sucked and we would need to space the wheel to fit, so we had some 6mm spacers that we made from duncans car and chucked them on.
Spun the wheel and heard ' dunt dunt dunt' , 6mm's not enough...
sooo we set about making BIGGER ones!!! :D
Ordered 16 Studs (Ford M12x1.5 +25mm) and 16 Nuts from Rally design for about £25 :)
So while the spacers were being manufactured at my work ;) we got going with the studs,
Whipped off the rear discs, cleaned em up and gave them a paint.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Wheels%20and%20Spacers/P3230663.jpg
And stripped the rear calipers/clean/paint
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Wheels%20and%20Spacers/P3230664.jpg
Now unlike some people have said on here in the past YOU CAN fit the longer studs without ripping fook out of your back plate. we may right a tutorial if we remember to take pics of duncans when we do it :)
heres the stud comparion pic

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/i2iclan/Pugger/200%20SX%20Build/Wheels%20and%20Spacers/P3230674.jpg
Then we fitted the rear spacer! After some careful measurements we decided of 20mm's for the rear and 15mm for the front would bring the wheels nice and flush.

i dunno how i missed this thread, but good work guys, seen this when it was half way through and was looking great. Congrats on getting it finished :thumbs: i'll need to pop out sometime soon and see it :nod:
As danny seems to have lost intrest in putting an update in i'll do one for him. He's got all the pictures of the breakdown and there's been a second one since then. The first one the car just made an almighty bang and switched off. Turns out the half moon spigot on the exhaust cam had snapped off and the CAS had eaten itself so a quick exhaust cam swap and a spare cas fitted and he was back on the road.
The second breakdown was very nearly terminal. It happened about 3 days after an oil change and a new gauge sensor fitted. Driving up to work one morning and danny heard the lifters suddenly get rather loud. Looked down and he had lost all oil pressure. Quickly shut it down and pulled off the road. His lightning quick reactions seemed to have saved the engine luckily. :D
After a bit of investigation it was put down to the thin rubber ring on the nissan oil filters not being compatible with the greddy sandwhich plate but it also appears that the standard oil cooler has a slight leak aswell.
With the bulk of the running problems solved a mate of ours gave dannys front splitter a quick blast of paint the afternoon before EDC at knockhill. Threw it on with the paint still tacky and so following are a few photos of how she is looking now.

looking good mate ;)
that top mount is cool too...
Nothing much has changed in the past year apart from the top mount being swapped for a standard manifold, reason being a bit of weld made its way through the turbo and munched the blades quite nicely. Strangely enough though it seems to have done a pretty good job of re-balancing itself as it still pulls strong albeit quite a bit higher up the rev range and it doesn't smoke. This picture was taken when we swapped the manifolds in august:

So its back in it's spiritual home again, hopefully not for so long this time. First thing I did was pull my 5 spokes off as there's not really any tread left. :wack:

It seems puggers spirited driving has had its casulties:

Guess whats in the box?
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/PuggerS13/rebuild/2009%20mot%20prep/P5201106.jpg
T28r, probably means they'll be more bodywork coming up with pugger having useable powers!

So its in for a quick clean up before the mot but if I knew what I did now back then it probably would have been sent straight back for a test. (hammerite and waxoyl are bad mmkay)
It's only had a year but the rust is already starting to come through in a few places, luckily its only very minor surface rust.

A quick clean up with the grinder and wire brush wheel and the chassis rails and a few other places got a coat of the good stuff, if anyone by now hasn't heard of por-15 then their missing out on the saviour of rusty 200's.

I allowed mr screwdriver to check over the sills and he seems pretty happy so there shouldn't be huge amount more required for the mot, hopefully. :wack:
Good luck with the mot guys? Is this going to turn into another small to rather large project? lol.
Will be up to see some of the handywork soon.
Cheers Aj
