View Full Version : Smabo's s13.4. less charlie sheen , more dirty slutbag
My plan was to make a thread once complete, but I've got so many pics already I figured I'd make a start now, if only for me to keep track of what's been done :wack: Before I get started, a massive thanks is in order to Kev, Kieran (my_sxy_s13), boyskew, and the rest of my mates for their amazing help so far - legends! :nod:
Begins with F217NNF, which had reached the end of her life after 17 years. The rot was getting a bit ridiculous:

So a new shell was called for. After a false start thanks to snow :rolleyes: The new car was collected with the garage kevsport recovery vehicle...nice wee 800 mile round trip with a trailer to pick up a 2-tone non-running non-turbo automatic...yay!

That was back in March, fast forward to the last week or two, with one deceased 200 and my exams all finished. First step was to strip bits of the engine to be used down, to sort the head gasket and have a look at the bottom end
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/bottomend.jpg
With that done, me and boyskew set about removing the engine and box from the 200

Minty engine bay :wack: Thanks to my patented self lubricating engine bay system, generally known as a blown front crank seal.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/DSCF2761.jpg
Next step - get everyone over together to swap the full rear subframe assemblies over between the 2 cars. The one from the 200 was already polybushed, and had my Z32 rears and 5 stud hubs attached, so the plan was to take the whole lot over

That's pretty much it, next steps are the wiring fun and building the new engine back up ready to go in. Thanks again to all those mentioned above, I'd be fcuked without them!
P.S. Ignore the playstation wannabe front bumper, that part will be getting chopped out!
Cool - will be watching this with interest :)
I'd imagine it'd probably be a pain to get the pop-ups working with the Silvia loom, are you going to transplant the one from the 200SX, or are you going to try to source a Silvia front for it?

Will be staying a onevia, and the wiring does indeed look to be a bit of a pain. Like most mechanical goings-on, I haven't the slightest clue about that kind of witchcraft...Kev and my mate did take just about every last bit of loom out of the 200 though, so it's in there somewhere :wack:

Cool - the only working Onevia I've seen on this board had pop-ups that you had to wind up be hand, so working ones would be an event :D
Is the front being painted the same shade as the rest of the car, or are you going for a totally different colour?

Superb. Onevia's rule :D Make it like Kuroi's car :nod: ;)
Put the pre-facelift bumper on it and throw that facelift monstrosity in the skip!
I was struggling to decide between the 2 Pete...but then I broke the pre-facelift one at Crail last time out so that clinched it! Not totally sure on a colour yet, but it'll be done as cheaply as possible, spray can stylee :nod:
Superb. Onevia's rule :D Make it like Kuroi's car :nod: ;)
I'll try, but I'm lacking the mega-pimp wheel fitment and about 900bhp at the moment.. :wack:
Brilliant job guys! Cant wait to see this finally finished and on the road. :)

But anyway, I'll stop telling you what to do with YOUR car :wack:

looking fantastic :cool: .
'Onevia'? Nissan made loads of S13 like this in the US as (240sx) 'S13 coupes' I think (ours is the 'fastback'):wack: Don't know of any in the UK though, even DIY hybrids :cool:
They did indeed John, but "onevia" is all mad jdm tyte y0 innit! :D
Pete - the green only seems nice in bright sunlight, its sat on my drive in the dull weather for 3 months looking pretty boring! It'd be nice to paint it properly, but I have the smallest budget possible....considering a matt grey colour, either like primer or the darker grey on the big U.S. air force planes :)
Forgot to add, I have 4 of these rims to go on

All the more reason to call it an 'S13 coupe' :D :smash:
Good luck with the pop-ups, hopefully it'll be a plug and play affair with the S13 loom. Bit annoying that the Silvia service manual isn't readily available though (I've seen it for download , but they wanted £5 a page, or something stupid :mad: )

Certainly an itneresting project, keep up the good work :thumbs:
ps - i guess this is insurable ok!?
MeLLoN Stu
14-06-2006, 00:04
no, 180sx front, silvia rear hence onevia. no S14 involved at all mate.
sil80 is the other way around, silvia front, 180 rear, hence its name. :)
Nope.
180SX Front and Silvia Rear.

That was the original plan, but its a bit bandwagon now....I am still tempted right enough.

Looks good man, might want to put some tyre pressure in them though :p :D
Yes yes, very good :p Was only test fitting them to see how silly they'd look with the 225's on them, got 1 pair of 195's to go on and probably stick some 205's on the other end....I don't do buying new tyres! :D
You must have some pretty understanding neighbours :D
Ha! Now there's a story that isn't for the public forum! :wack: 99% of them are pretty understanding and genuinely interested in what we're doing, the other 1% seemed to think the police would be more interested...

We used to get problems like that at my mothers, right up until me and one of my brothers decided to have a word with the guy responsible for said calls.
Never had aproblem with them ever since then.
I find it hard to believe they are actually trying to pass law to stop things like this happening, to me it means either people will drive unsafe cars or be forced into paying really high garage bills all the time which would mean more abandoned cars IMO.
Great efforts guys, I think we should maybe have a party at yours once the works all done I'm sure we could get a good turn out.
Sweet project :thumbs:
I reckon that would look uber cool with a prefacelift bumper and all in matt black :nod:
IMO the facelift bumper is too rounded for the Silvia body.
A party here would be the worst idea to be honest.....that's what JAE is for!

The engine going in has Mahle forgies, and I got what I think is a turbo from a small turbo escort cossie to use, as well as the usual stage 2 stuff like Jez chip, Saab fmic etc.

Wee update from today, first work thats been done on it in over a week (except buying the required engine bits and acquiring a chav-spec Bee*R Bangmaker, thanks to Kieran :thumbs: :D ) So, the fun of wiring....cue me with less of a clue about this than other mechanical stuff I can't do, Kieran in a similar boat and Kev almost in tears at the prospect...

Good work Sam, do you think it'll be ready for the weekend? :wack:
Maybe not this weekend :wack: Hopefully though, and with everything going to plan (which worryingly it pretty much has so far, bar the odd little problem), it'll be at the Fat & Mongofied show the weekend before JAE... although this does depend heavily on nothing major going wrong, and Kev et al not getting totally fed up of my persistent cries for help and inability to do anything other than tighten a screw when i should be loosening it :wack:
Edit: meant to include the to-do list of the remaining stuffs to be done:
-Finish off wiring nastiness
-Rebuild engine and fit with gearbox and prop
-Do manual conversion e.g. fit clutch pedal, chop the brake pedal down, make clutch slave cylinder fit etc.
-Find turbo elbow to fit the odd turbo, hoping its still in my garage, or else one will have to be bodged
-Fit exhaust, sort out handbrake and rear brake pipes
-Bodyork stuff e.g. splitter, chop front bumper, flare arches and fit wheels, and paint
-Then the less important stuff like fitting the "toys" - welded diff, bucket seat and harness, daft gearknob, fire extinguisher, Bee*R etc.

Totally awesome project, I wish I had the space to overhaul my one and get it into good condition.
Can't wait to see it, and Claire's new car is :smitten::smitten::smitten:
Small update - BIIIG thanks to Kev for chopping his fingers into little bits and sorting out the mass of spaghetti that is the wiring, even stayed on to do it while I had to go to work :notworthy All being well we'll be putting the engine back together next week hopefully with Mr. 2 Black Lines assistance :notworthy
In the meantime I found something I'm capable of :wack: taking the spoiler off, much prefer it like that :)

This place is full of bike geeks :D
Today's progress: Aside from dribbling over some R33 GTR wheels on it, more progress was made as well as a bit of a setback....
First, the good bits - attached the bits needed for the manual swap i.e. drilling a few holes in the bulkhead for the slave cylinder to attach to the clutch pedal through

Next there's the little problem of the brake pedal.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/one-bia/DSCF3405.jpg
Fit one from a manual? Naaaah! Bodge what's there :D

I got a little bored, so 30 secs with a jigsaw and the PS gayness was gone. It looks ok if you squint from about 20 feet away :thumbs:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/one-bia/DSCF3412.jpg
Kev and Gordon (2 Black Lines) also paid a visit....Kev finished off the door wiring so the dash can go back in, and Gordon broke the bad news to me that the block I was planning on using is pretty much scrap :cry: Too much rust and crap left in one of the bores from when the headgasket went and the engine sat for ages. Big thanks yet again to Kev for the spare jap-spec block that'll be used instead, and I'll keep the 1mm oversize Mahle's for a rainy day...
Tomorrow's plan is to strip the old block of everything and collect the new block after Gordon's given it a good clean, before it gets put together again. Cutting it fine for JAE now, and there won't be any time for paint, but fingers crossed...

hmmm, fail to see the relevance of the bufty mag and latex gloves, you trying to tell us something sam? :eek::ghey:
Heh didnt know u had a thread going for this Sam :thumbs:
Iv'e decided to scrap my prettying plans for JAE mate, im now going for the "lets get as many of us there as possible" (that includes u Mr. goose and Mr. Bump)so its time to shift up a gear or two and get this show on the road.
What are u doing about turbo?
Is it mine or Kieran's...... actually did u say u had one?? :confused:
Memory is a piece of shit :annoyed: :annoyed: :cry:
Just remembered there was some weird wires coming out of the ignition barrel i meant to find out about.
If u take a pic and post up mate, hopefully someone will recognise them.
Going by the pics John the evil one Bennett put up, i still say pre-facelift matey :nod:
We can make the barby facelift if u want and take its bumper for urs.
Thinking on mate, theres a good few niggly jobs needing done.
like securing the supports for the front bumper(the red ones) which requires sheered bolts drilling out, same for the handbrake cable.
Did the pipe left on the clutch mc reach the slave or do i need to get one of them also Sam?
From memory its about 24" long to reach, but can u check and ill get it and the brake pipes made up on thu.
Might be worth connecting up the battery mate and checking the lights and fan etc work before fitting the dash incase theres something iv'e missed (something is niggling at the back of my mind)
So if Gordon has the bottom end built 2moro, and u have a good head and all the gaskets u should in theory be ready for engine in on friday?
Think Martin is aiming for the weekend also.
But im gonna be eurodrift on sat and F+M on sun, so wont be about for engine in shenanigans, and tbh id rather be there incase sommat pops up.
Kev
ps. dunno why iv'e wrote half of this, should have just pm'd :rolleyes: :annoyed:

I think your onto something here, if that holes the same size as a number plate, hang it on hinges, then, when you go fast, it will fold back allowing air to get to the intercooler. Then when you stop, it will fold back down preventing the police from having a go at you :thumbs:

Just read it through, likin' it
bumping an oldish thread but im interested in finding out how hard it is for fit the 180 front on the silvia as im thinking about a onevia in the next month or so .. thanks and hows the car now ?
The panels all bolt on easy, had to drill a couple of holes to bolt in the headlights but aside from that I think all you need is the different bumper bar. Not sure on that though, as I don't have one at all...
As for the wiring...It was Kev that sorted that out, using a pick n' mix of Silvia and 200SX loom. I pretty much know nothing about what had to go where though...
As for the car now, its still sat on my drive sans engine. Only real progress in the last few weeks was doing the rear arches. Had a bash with Kev Kydd's arch roller (for hire btw) and was pleasantly surprised with the first arch we did, as I'd never tried anything like it before. As for the second arch...meh. It's a lot less pretty, but at least I get no rubbing now...

Ignore the different tyre sizes in the pics... :)
They mk2 supra alloys sam?
Widebody Starion rears Jimbo :) Wanted to run them all round, but they're miles off clearing the calipers up front, and I gots no money for big spacers (and for the back to match) :(
They do look nice, shame about the spacer requirement...
Looking good sambo, only just found this thread! any updates?

On the numberplate front, do what I've done on my bug, space the plate away from the car (you can make some ally pins up), covering the hole, but allowing airflow into the engine behind it...:rolleyes:

16-10-2006, 18:57
i painted my last landrover in a similar colour to that opel i got it from anchor supplies, cheap! roll brush or spray and tough as tractor paint oh and it comes packaged in a ammo tin which is a bonus!
I wonder if you could cut the letters ut of the plate?
On a dark coloured car they'd be hard to spot and would allow a goodly amount of air through:nod: :thumbs:
You'd be buggered if you had any D's, B's R's etc though
Number plate isn't a problem, I have a small one that screws into the side of the bumper :) I hardly ever ran one on the old car anyway....
No updates as of yet :(
Bit of an update from this last few days :) Engine all back together (once again, thanks to Kev and his empire of spare bits, as I seem to have an amazing knack of losing absolutely everything that is of any use, yet having a million head bolts and others of varying uselessness for some reason) and it went in today :) Ran out of time to do anything else other than drop it onto the mounts as I was late for work, but its some progress at last :)
And some pics:

...and its in :) (no pics of that, but its no different to an engine in an engine bay, please refer to under your own bonnet :wack: )
While the car sat in the drive I'd wound the rear coilovers right down, forgetting it was maybe a *bit* too low....didn't quite expect to catch my chassis legs and subframe on the end of the drive and get beached :wack: Doesn't look all that low in pics, but if the exhaust was attached it would actually be sitting on the tarmac...

Along with the obvious engine hooking up, today we fitted the prop, full exhaust and elbow, drilled and tapped one of the handbrake cable mounting bolts that had snapped inside the chassis, bled the brakes, fitted the clutch slave and bled it too, and raised the suspension a little after getting it properly beached trying to push it up the driveway :wack:

Next on the list once its got MOT are:
-fit 30mm spacers on front and use the front Starion rims
-got a few spray cans of the green basecoat made up, so give the front end a quick spray and fit the pre-facelift splitter
-put the steering wheel back on straight :smash:
-fit welded diff
-go see the very kind 205Turbo (Dave) and fit my bucket with his GNF SPL subframe
-put miles on the clock :smash: :)

welldone wheels look superb on the car,i would change to sileighty front though:thumbs:
You mean a Silvia front, so then it'd just be a Silvia? :wack: :D
P.S. yer all wrong, the answer was finger tight wheelnuts from bleeding the brakes the other night :o
lol. Almost as stupid as me:
I left all my front arms and rods loose, with the intention of removing them and re-fitted.... but I moved onto the otherside and forgot.
Found them the other night - which explains part of my clunking :D
As said, cars lookin good sam. Hope this one survives.

Thought it might be time for a little update, its a few months down the line now and she's still alive :D The "samvia" as she's been christened is still in the fetching red/green colour scheme, but now with a hint of gold :wack: Very festive :rolleyes:
Last I posted here it'd just got an MOT which seems like ages ago, so this stuff may not be in exact order... The engine is now all run and hasn't missed a beat :) The only problem I've had in that department was the AFM plug falling off ( :wack: my own fault) so very pleased with that :D Bren device also now fitted but driving sensibly until the Walbro goes in, as it needed slight bodging beforehand.
So random bits now attached:
GarageNightFactory SPL seat frame and my seat, thanks to Dave (205Turbo) for that :thumbs:

Driftworks 30mm spacers for the front:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/08012007099.jpg
So I could fit the Starion fronts (were 7j ET 17 I think, so now 7j ET -13)

And with the front lowered a bit more

Then went to fit the welded diff yesterday, kindly weldified by Gordon (2 Black Lines) :thumbs: Unfortunately in my haste, I didn't realise there was a difference in output shafts between open and VLSD, so now awaiting a parcel from Marty_T3 ( :thumbs: ) who has kindly donated the shafts and all the bits needed to make my heaters work...it's been a cold winter! So yesterday was spent messing about with random stuffs, like fitting the tasteful gold splitter very carefully :wack:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/one-bia/DSCF4519.jpg
Which promptly fell off as soon as I left the street :rolleyes: :D
I think that's pretty much it for updates as of now, still plenty to do within the next week or two before the car gets its first kicking at Ingliston. Diff needs to go on, Walbro in, timing checked, maybe lowered a bit more, fire extinguisher and harness fitted. Oh, and more stickers :D Priorities....

Is there anything other than moneys (and finding them) stopping you getting a second pair of rear Starion rims for the front? :)
I have another pair of rears but the problem I came across was trying to clear the S14 brakes - it took a 30mm spacer to get the fronts to clear, and I reckon around a 25mm would be needed to run the rears up front. Which would then mean the fronts were 8J ET -35, which is pushing it slightly :wack: Plus then the rears would look silly being 25mm further in, so they'd need spacers, and a lot more arch work and so on and so on. I was pretty gutted when I first tried to fit the rears to the front and saw how far out they were :cry: My other plan was to buy Genjuro's lovely 16x8 ET -1 SSR Mesh for up front, but again, same story - the flat face would have need much spacerage :(

I've only just joined this forum as my bro has recently bought an S14 which we'll be doing up together (and I'll no doubt end up spending loads of money on as well!) and it's good to see people helping and offering encouragement so much :thumbs:

Finally, some action :D Got the welded diff fitted last week (big thanks to Dave 205Turbo and boyskew, and Gordon for welding it up) and the extinguisher, and other bits and bobs to make it ready for Sunday like sorting the boost out.
So when we got there it lookes like this

Then came across some niggles...broke the jubilee holding on the boost hose to throttle body after about 2 runs, so had to thieve 1 off boyskew til he went home, then Colin type R til the end of the day, cheers lads :) So did some of this

..til I noticed a lack of windscreen washers, and a rubbing noise. That'll be the loom worn through to bare wires in the arch then, at 2 separate large-ish points :wack: Yet more bodging - much gaffer tape to coat it, along with a bodged plastic box from Dave, and a schmorgasbord of zipties to try to keep it off the wheel :wack: So a few more runs once sorted and crunch! The dodgy gold splitter ate shit and got ripped off. Back to the pits (again :rolleyes: ) to sort it then back out for some of this
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/weeee.jpg
3rd gear first corner = fun :D Then after lots of spins and take-off attempts it was time to go home. A car wash could have been handy :wack:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/DSCF4716.jpg
That doesn't quite show how muddy the thing is, large clumps everywhere! In all the door shuts, hinges, joins, drivers seat, inside the windows, drivers face :wack:
So a few wee things to sort again but finally getting to drift again was sweeeet :D The difference with this car having the diff, power, bucket seat etc. was huuuuge, pity the dick behind the wheel couldn't do it justice :wack:
P.S. Thanks to Wullie (Rubix_Cube) for the pics :)
Another couple, thanks again to Wullie and Stevie R33 :)

Oh, and we now have a dead battery, thanks to those dahs lights being on permanently. yay :wack:
Love it :)
If it were me (and this is IMO of course ;)) I'd put a pre-facelift bumper on it, as I reckon it would suit it more.
I don't really think looks are the number 1 priority with this car at the moment are they tho?! Some good looking photos there so well done to the photographers and driver for catching those drifts so well... I look forward to a bit of fun like that in the future, not sure how well I'll do tho having not got any rwd experience under my belt yet! :D

That last pic is ****ing cool dude. Nice :thumbs:
:D
Sticking with facelift though definitely, had pre-facelift for 2 years before this so I got a wee bit bored of it in all honesty!
Random update....
Wiring is still a little "funny", but for now the weird lights coming on thing has stopped, so a new battery means I'm mobile again...woo! In the meantime I rerouted the messed up side of the loom over the turret to stop it getting any worse, was surprisingly easy... (excuse the blurry pics, didn't notice my phone had a load of crap all over the lense)
Looked like this

Then went like this
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/one-bia/12042007153.jpg
Then came Friday and Saturday with some nice weather....say bye bye to the red bits :D I just took the whole front end off for painting, seeing as its only held on with like 2 bolts and a ziptie :wack: No compressors or guns here, just 3 and a half spray cans :D
Grrrrr I'm gonna eat you
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/one-bia/13042007154.jpg
Painted most of it but ran out of paint for the bumper, so let it dry then scared old people on the road with it looking like this for a day
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/one-bia/14042007157.jpg
Then once the bumper was done it looked like this

Its a pretty crap paint job tbh, and clearly not shiny but feck it....the phrase thats been said a lot over the last few days is "at least its not red" :nod: :wack: It'll do for now, I've still to do the splitter and fit it again, and touch up the rear arches too.
P.S. The bonnet isn't actually black btw...its just really badly done :wack: Also the more eagle-eyed among you will notice how my steering wheel is quite off centre while the wheels are straight....thanks to a few heavy landings at Ingliston :o
what have u done to the samvia :eek: :eek:
There was only so much pointing and laughing by hot chicks I could take, it had to be done :cry: :D
lol i thought that story may have been the final straw :D :D :D
You could get a job at the Car Clilnic with workmanship like that :rolleyes:

Is it illegal to drive on the road without a front bumper?
no providing that you dont have mad max style spikes or sharp edges iirc
Hmmm... :wack: I hooked up the indicator bulbs too so it looked a bit strange. Didn't know the legality of it so only took it to get the necessities....a BBQ, burgers and beer :D

lol I get a lot of WTF looks when im driving the 14 and thats a standard car. I cant imagine the WT****ness looks you must get with two different cars stuck together with the rear being quite a rare car!
Most people just think its an old Honda! Davie/Keeern - its 2 mins from my house, where the old Phillipshill hospital used to be.
Hit a bit of a snag there...took it for a little detour after uni, spotted the temp gauge almost in the red. Pulled over, horrible smell, lots of steam/smoke and I panicked and went nuts with the extinguisher :wack: Looks like the top heater matrix hose has burst onto the turbo elbow. Was only 2 mins from home so nursed it back...at first it idled and revved like a bag of spanners trying to turn it round, but once back on the road it seemed ok on/off boost :confused: Will have a proper look when I can be arsed, if it has done the head gasket then it can get itself to fcuk.
Update: Ignore the above, I was just being a big drama queen :ghey: :D Changed the hose, filled it with water again and its all good. Took it to the BANZAI!!!!! day at crail on sunday and drove it into the field and the tyres and stuff, was fun. Oh aye, and that paint we so carefully applied has all started to fall off after it rained a bit :wack: She doesn't want to be all the 1 colour :no: More pics of what its meant to do:

Rare? There is only one samvia :D It was meant to be my good shell that I'd keep clean and stuff, but, eh... :wack:
Ressurection bump - Did you ever do the wiring for the pop-ups? No-one in the UK seems to have got the pop-ups working yet.
From reading some Oz Silvia forums its a bitch of a job! Anyone know if you can pinch a section of a 180/s13 hatch loom to make it easier?
If not supermade style lamps may be worth spending the extra.

not yet but he's been in america for the last couple of months:D
i think i know of a onevia with working pop ups
jord im pretty sure its just the relays in the pass footwell enclosure(behind the ecu) that are missing and so causing no working, but never had the chance to check this on sam's car yet:)
Back from the dead....1 year of hardparking later. Thought I should probably update this now the car's making noise and stuff again after being sat about for more than 12 months.
Poor old girl looked like a heap, but sorted a few things and had some welding expertly done by Mr. ekjim ( :thumbs: ) and it got an MOT.

Next, Gordon aka 2 Black Lines was kind enough to offer me a paint job for nowt, legend :thumbs: So got cracking with sanding and ting.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/shedvia1.jpg
Mr. Kieran_E1 kindly donatified, among many other things, a slightly broken Uras bumper to make the arse look a bit prettier. I had a bash at fillering etc but it needs a wee bit more prep, so not painted up yet. Anyway, had a go at the prep and left it to Gordon...

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/one-bia/DSC00279.jpg
Then borrowed my mate's R33 GTRs, to make it a show car innit. Gratuitous "gas station" shot
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/smabo/one-bia/_DSC00282.jpg
Yes I know the lip looks pretty gash, it batters off smooth road surfaces too so it's back off for the moment. Also, before the offset gestapo have a word I know my sticky-outyness is weak on the GTR's but I only had one pair of bolt on spacers to work with, and the front needed 18mm worth to clear the coilovers. So the back had to make do with a 5mm slip on, so yeah, eat me :D
Some pics from the show... The ladies were desperate to pose beside the car, and not in any way forced by Mr. Rubix Cube after I went on and on and on and on at him to bring some of his pretty ladies to my car.

Plenty more to be done in the next fortnight, as it's going to the 'Ring in less than 3 weeks time :eek: More updates when I get off my arse and do stuff, like stick a VLSD back on for the trip, get some tyres that aren't a ridiculously low profile, wire up the oil guages and do other random bits and bobs that will hopefully see it do 1500 miles plus as many laps as I can afford.....after doing less than 100 miles in the last year. :indiff: :D

think itll look pimp if you polish the rims on the starions :D
Full polish on the Starions and you're good to go! Car looks so much better in Silver
I like your Drift Alliance sticker :D
Thanks chaps, starions will be polished when I can be arsed 'cos the little bit Gordon did looks hot!
No worries Wullie, I figured we had enough tools between 2 S13 owners to rebuild military aircraft :wack: Was it just that one plug?
Looks like a different car all one colour, :thumbs:

looks like its a bit sad, you need silvia front now:D:nod:

Few more updates... I leave for the Ring on Friday :eek: :D Car is near enough as ready as it'll ever be after the last couple of weeks of stuff done. Massive thanks to the Kev Kev, helped me out no end with assistance and loans of parts this week, a true hero :notworthy
So anyway, the progress so far:
- I had an attack of the gays and swapped out the welder for a VLSD
- Swapped the bargain bucket (see what I did there) for a Skyline seat lent by Kev ( :thumbs: )
- Put some back seats back in for the passengers
- Fitted the exhaust bung properly for the motorway driving (twice, after shooting it at a Mini)
- Nooo shooooz - boxfresh Falken 452's for the rears
- Changed all the cam cover bolts for hex heads, seeing as the OG screws are made of an alloy of cheese and cardboard. Evidently so were the replacements seeing as I snapped one :rolleyes:
- Kev sorted my timing, swapped my alternator, made my stereo work and fitted the oil press/temp gauges (donated by everybody's favourite rep called Kieran that lives in Scotland and does skids :thumbs: ), much appreciated lads :notworthy
- Plus sorted all the crap needed for going away - bulbs, stickers, triangle, breakdown cover etc
And for those of you who couldn't be arsed reading my dribblings, a couple of random photos...

How fcuking amazing is this place, why haven't I been here before :D
Only managed 6 laps over the couple of days but was pretty pleased I even managed that without dying or exploding. Brakes were completely gash, next stop non-sticky calipers, non-rusty/warped discs and some 5.1 fluid. Or remove them completely and throw an anchor out the back, would have done a better job than what I have now.
Apart from that only other issue I had was my car trying to lose oil from every orifice on the motorway :wack: Got a little leak from not doing the sandwich plate up tight enough, bit more of a leak from the bottom of the bellhousing (guessing rear crank seal), and by the time I got home it appears the diff has blown the bung out the chopped pipes and has covered the entire back end of the car in smelly oil :hurl: Also burning some oil too, only on lift-off though so hoping its just a dying turbo... Thankfully the diff was fine on track and the other little leaks are fine when driving, had a good check over it the morning before going on track to make sure I wasn't causing any danger :)
The fact the car actually lasted is good enough for me, I'll worry about the minor issues over winter. Once again a massive thanks to Kev, Kieran, Gordon, my mates et al for all their hard work making this thing an actual car. :thumbs:
Got plenty pics of random stuff testing during the day, like new SL Black Series, Lotus Evora, matt black V10 R8's, 4-door Aston and Porsche, but I won't bore you with them. Yet. The End.
OK so not quite the end, needs moar action shots.

I'm thinking a Mass Scottish SXOC massive trip to the ring next year. Kev is a must incase any of us break LOL
Nice job S. Car looks ace all one colour. The 'ring is awesome isn't it? I'm so ****ing pissed that I didn't get to go this year :(
Best place on earth :nod: Not just for the driving, but the whole package. Every night we got our laps in early so we could head back and spectate with a few quality brews, some Black Falcon mob had various supercars inc. an Enzo, 'egg, MC12, Zonda etc. and were proper kicking their cnuts in, amazing spectacle :cool: Saw the Enzo stop from flat out in a matter of metres right under our noses so they could check tyre pressures, then almost T-bone an M3 setting off again :eek:
Wish I hadn't gone now, dying to go back every year until I die now :wack:
Awesome! Needs more random pics :nod:
Ta! Might start a thread in non-200 when I get some of my mates pics, there was some really interesting stuff....the new SL Black is too awesome for words. :cool:

Bonus indeed! I'll txt you about returning your seat and ting, possibly Sunday or something if you're about?

Sounds amazing. Have just got to go next year.

Awesome huh? :D A few of us defo want to go back next year again, one of my mates is even trying to persuade us to go again next month :wack:
For pics, I've not had a lot of luck but there are lots of places to look. First stop would be http://www.nurburgringphotos.com/ and if they have none leave a request on the Ringers forum via the link there. Also go to http://www.touristenfahrerforum.de/forum/index.php and register to be able to see the Touristenfahrer pics forum, you need to use a real name though - took me a few attempts to work it out.
If you got no luck there try scouring the sites like I've been doing all week :wack: Plenty ones to try here:
http://z8.invisionfree.com/Northloop/index.php?showtopic=11560
http://www.maxrs.it/maxrs_ev/fotografi.html
I've not had a chance to look but there seems to be lots of threads on the 16th and 17th on the Touristenfahrer forum, there was only 2 for the days we were there and only one had pics of us.
That looks like a top trip:nod: Would lve to go one day, not sure i'd be brave enough to drive it tho:(
It's nothing like as bad as you'd expect mate, you really could quite happily drive round slowly all day as long as you stick to the right with your indicator on, lots of MPV's and campervans etc are always out there. But you won't want to drive slowly once you get on :D
ill be there next year no question, in what im not so sure!
www.8200rpm.com has all the webcam logs
and we spoke to the guy at www.frozenspeed.com who was at the pistenklause every night and i ordered 4 photos from him, they were superb!

heh, sorry, it's late. That forum appears to have changed a bit since last time I went :wack:
So almost 2 years since the last post, figured I should actually type more shit in here. (And hello Garydot)
Been a bit quiet of late, the S13 was on the road for a few months in '09, actually made it to an SXOC meet for possibly the 2nd time ever, fitted some better wheels on the back, and saw 2 Crail trackdays before me going to America and coming home and buying the M3 pretty much emptied my account for the forseeable.
Rimz in 17x10, +20 but they're 5x130 so effective -5 with adapters. All made possible with the Chavbo Heavy Industries Arch Rollinator of Doom, the finishing touches made meeting a convoy of about 30 cars at 8am on a Sat morning on a bridge over the M8, so its precise stuff.

Still starts first time every time, can't moan. Acquired a few bits and bobs like a new rear wing and some other shit, you know, all those useful things that don't make the car drive any better. Spent a few days tinkering, new discs, pads, and some working 2nd calipers after siezing yet another pair.

Freebie bumper from sxowner ( :thumbs: ) and borrowed lights from Kev ( :thumbs: ) seeing as the facelift thing was proper monged, and got it MOT'd on Saturday there. Big thanks to Rubix_Cube for a loan of the wheels, promise I will sort out the resuls of my brainfail :o

Test fitted the Borbets up front to check if I can actually steer, looks surprisingly simple, I like steering.

Also picked up some more wheels I didn't need, 2x R33 GTR's on a loaner from Midge and 4x R33 GTR's from SteA

Crail trackday is one like donkey kong this weekend for a thorough pummeling, then a few tweaks to make it look a bit more presentable in the next month or so like the wing, get the Borbets on all round, and drop it like its hot :thumbs:
P.S. could a moderating chap edit the title to just Bandwagon Poop or something please? :)
Great, I like this car :D
Those Borbets are going to look good :cool:
Nice to see her getting a bit of attention :nod::thumbs:
You going to bring her down to JAE mate?
'Fraid not sir, after the Weekender I was pretty keen but I have stag do to disgrace myself at! Seeing as you're a chief moderating dude, would you mind altering the title a little? :D Ta!
