SR13 - BDC 2011.5? Drift Project.

[Ian200sx]

Cheers mate, cars can be very stressful sometimes! Especially when trying to work full time and do a degreee (and everything goes wrong). lol Madness.

Gave the car a clean today and started fitting the bodykit.
Got a new gearbox gaiter to go on along as it is leaking and got a new master cylinder to try, fingers crossed. Will be the 3rd one ive had on the car.

Anyway here are some pics, not fitted anything yet just mocked up until I get some proper fixings.









Progress can be a bit slow atm, although it is very cold!

Fitted things up today, sideskirts were the worst fitting items I have ever seen, just aswell they only cost me £30. Took a bit of cutting here and there for the front bumper but got it reasonable enough in the end.

[Ian200sx]

Just need to prime them up the same as the rest.

Little update, turbo blew itself off the manifold during the last drift day.
Priced up new studs, nuts and locking ties and it came to about £40, and then I would need a gasket also! - WTF Nissan.

Anyway decided to do the permanent solution and weld the tubby to the manifold. Whilst I was down there I heat wrapped the down pipe and elbow, as the interior was quite literally melting under hard use. I know if the tubby eats itself I have issues but figured a new manifold flange was cheaper than buying Nissans nuts! Lol







Also with the handbrake getting worse and worse I bit the bullet and bought myself a hydro.



BDC entry’s coming soon, think I am just gunna go for it and get paid up! Otherwise I don’t think I ever will, still running it in the Northern Drift Championship too though.

Cheers for looking

Fire extinguisher fitted, two nozzles, one at footwell one at fuel rail,
Battery master switch fitted, with pull cords at windscreen panel.
Moved the battery into the car to keep it away from the fuel cell.
Re-painted the interior and fitted a .7 hydro.















Still havin brake problems so new calipers etc are on the cards, just need fuel cell seperation and I should be up to full BDC spec.
