i saw an s13 today with that kit on, really subtle and not to over the top!
i should be posting pics up from 23rd march onwards - slightly tempted to have a go at fitting rear bumper meself !
new d1's rotas 17" going on when its nearly done (i fecked me rear alloy on a kirb!)
Have you thought about talking to Gary at JapSalon in Crowthorne?
Seriously worth thinking about IMO ;)

:thumbs:
done will see what comes of it thanks Chris
I dont think he would be able to fix a slightly bent wheel though.?
Off round my mate seans...........So we start off removing rear spats and my god tiger seal is called that for a reason! :wack:
Sean and i then remove all the inner gubbins to get at the 4 bolts that hold the main metal piece behind bumper and the 3 bolts either side down the side gully - REMOVE BUMPER
Then fix the rear bumper on using the old bumper metal bits.
http://www.scream-clan.co.uk/images/Photo0001.jpg
*NOTE before fitting anything you need to rub down the kit on that bit that goes on your rear arch or it will not fit. it comes out of the mould with a slight lip. We also had to bang my arch flatter to get it over the lip i had on one side - the other side u see in pic fitted straight on!? :rolleyes:
and find the middle bit sags so much it becomes a sudden worry! :eek:
So off with the bumper again and chop up your old bumper
http://www.scream-clan.co.uk/images/Photo0004.jpg
With a jigsaw......3 mins if that....you only need the top part which has the holding bits on it.
So you stick the old part back on the metal section so it looks like this:
http://www.scream-clan.co.uk/images/Photo0002.jpg
So when you refit bumper it looks spot on perfik like this:
http://www.scream-clan.co.uk/images/Photo0003.jpg
and your middle bit doesnt sag and looks like this:
http://www.scream-clan.co.uk/images/Photo0005.jpg
There are 4 bolts that hold the metal section found in the boot area. Push the bolts as far forward as you can before tightning them up
Apply 2 screw holes on the rear arch to hold it in place.
So all in all you use the old bumpers 3 bolt attached to new bumper (make sure you line it up and mark it first in place before fitting) This is down the side accesable from the boot. You only use the top 2. same other side.
Watch your fingers on the metal sheet in there as sean cut his finger pretty bad :eek:
We used the old bumper but only the section shown in the picture to give the middle support.
We fitted the excisting lights but we were unable to use the old nissan metal section (its too long)
Thanks to sean from the SIDC :clap:
Its a snug fit but its a 2 man job dont try this on your own. You need one guy pushing and pulling while the other gets a nut on the inner boot bit!! LOL
What a day m8 cant wait to see it painted i think we got the bumper to fit better than the ome one :)
looks good and THANKS for the shot of me looking like i am having s*x with the car :)
Tannan yes your bum does look big in the pics.
Sabrex best to take it to Jap Salon in Twyford/Hurst as the one in crowthorne doesnt exist:rolleyes:
Garys a nice guy and does a good job:thumbs:
How far does the rear bumper stick out from the back of the car, further or not as far as the standard one?
id say same as the original apart from the bottom bit ofcourse!
shes in now to body shop yesterday.
We have asked we keep the original silver
We have asked the bonnet to be a dark gunmetal (not going black to common!) We are having the roof done the same and the middle section of my rear spoiler.
Stick some gunmetal D1's 17" when she comes out.
No stickers telling whats on this thing sorry !
New mats and sxoc tax disk holder.
Car then done i can concerntrate on my bloody roof insulating rah rah
PIcs to follow as we go
we hope all goes well mate:thumbs:
two weeks to the new shop so come show me:thumbs:

keep it standard mate so much better dont gay it up!!
I know but deep down im trying to hold on to my youth and i blame nearing 40 :sxoc:
i've seen them on garage13 but still no joy from contacting them :censored:
I would seriously consider trying somewhere else mate...
I bought some stuff off Garage13, which eventually came (after a few months), after I kept hassling the guy week after week. He kept saying that he'd sent my bits, but clearly hadn't - loads of excuses. Try elsewhere if you want an easier life :nod:
A month and a week on they have finaly started on the car.
Curently buying ancillaries like bulbs and different front indicators (thanks to sean for sabaru front lights) - mesh on the list. Extending the excisting power cables to the orignal bulb sets. Will finaly be posting pics tommorow although it will look pretty rough.

Loose Hand Luke
10-07-2007, 17:06
christ. shame about the need to sort rust out. Keep up with the pics!
So far we have both welding on the sides done, the rear need slight pulling out for some reason. The front bumper is attached and lines up perfik see vid.... The car needs the rear bumper re-attached after a bit of jiggery on smothing the side bits. At some point i need to get down the tyre place and and get the tyres off my excisting 18"s and on to my new kei wheels. (anyone know if thats a prob? 225, 40 , 18 )
Looking at 2 more weeks for the final finnish unfortunately some DNA stickers (part of the deal) hopefully they are not big and have a big phone number on it :/
As soon as we get her back its a oil drop out - new filter, magnetic sump plug, fit one of my cool hand made heat sheilds.
http://www.scream-clan.co.uk/images/heatsh.jpg (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160156411670&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=006)
Changing the filter element. At some point renewing the whole front slam area.
WMP latest vid almost there :rolleyes: (http://www.scream-clan.co.uk/images/s13sabrex.wmv)
So hopefully oven next week but its slow going at this point. Tannan u got a help me fit the hub asap it comes out bud.

*** Spacers ***
Morning Mike. Following the excitement in your voice yesterday i thought i'd pop in and just see what all the fuss is about. Well mate i have to agree that car of yours does look mighty sweet and it ain't even finished yet. Can't wait to see it in the flesh next week.
Those bits......well mate should all be ready for the rolling out next week. Will look oh so good :cool: ;)

Needs spacers and a big brake kit:p :wave: hope your having a good birthday
Hey looks great does that mate!
Good move on getting the JDM rear lights... big improvement on the UK ones I think.
Looks like a good spray job aswell.
One thing though? Thought you were just having the blade of the spoiler painted darker? As you've had the full spoiler done I think you need to darken up the bit of metal bodywork on the tailgate in front of the spoiler aswell if you know what I mean...
Either way though bloody smart ride!

THey are spraying the middle section of the spoiler Friday silver so um and ahhh but they have the say so ! Basicaly in gunmetal it shows some waveness that was there before the silver im told will hide it.
:thumbs:
Ahhh cool ok mate..
They're right about the silver hiding the wavyness though... you know what black cars are like!

I have to say it looks great.
For some time ive been toying with the gunmetal over silver combo on my S14 once i get a drifty style kit.I was alittle unsure as to what it would look like,but having seen yours i think im convinced.
Failing that i have a black over candy green plan B!
Mike,
Looking so much better with that bodykit and the dark top half of the car :thumbs:
When will it be totally completed and ready for showing off?
(ps: how chav does Sean look in that picture of him robbing the contents of your boot?) :D

He is a nice guy so little ammo:)
But i will dig:D
I owe all of this too sean actually it would never be if it wasnt for him. :wave: :clap:
See hes just such a nice bloke. Fingers crossed for lucy mate :nod: I know its a hard time for yer
I love Seany too :nod: :D
I also have many great words for the bodydhop you`re using, especially after a cracking spray job on my spoiler blade and an even better price too :thumbs:
Well i took it down MOT center and it failed on the following:
My lights are 1 up and 1 down.
My fog light not working (i hadnt plugged it in Durrrr)
Welding on offside rear suspesion needed as bad corrosion.
CRACKED SCREEN which started cracking as soon as i drive it out of DNA!!!
However we got fitted:
Sabaru front indicators
Hoovered and fitted center panel
nice new mats
polished the glass all round
Fitted new wheels all round (bit of a nightmare i lost the locking nut thing)
Fitted my car cover which doesnt go over the back end because of the big wing.
Center wing is now silver
Scrap yard found a 200sx !!! nabbed the flip light plastic surrounds they were both intact
Fitted those car looks the nuts
Pics will follow as soon as im able

looking nice, not too sure bout the choice of rim or the gastly veislide wing.
Dewing, and get some nice jap (gtr) offset rims. (IMO) :)
Mike,
That car of yours was looking good last night. Getting there mate, getting there.
I'm relieved that panel fits just a shame we couldn't have installed it on the night. Dame bolts :( If Sean doesn't get there first i'll get em out for you. Got a few thoughts from the aviation world that would do the job just fine.
Speak soon buddy.
Hi mate looking sweet :thumbs: , what size rims have you fitted ???? :wave:
Thanks m8
18" but 7.5's when should have been more 8.5 to 9's because the kit is too aggressive however i got some extenders from DW yet to fit.
Fitted scobby seats and just so you all know: YEs you can fit scooby seats in a s13 but the downside is they have a big base therefore not low enough.
Needs more bodging !

Looks well good, i popped down there loads a times since i left, and kept seeing what they had done to is, shame a didnt get to see it when it was done. sure i'll see you around soon enough I'll give you a flash no more sx for me but i'll be in a big autoglass van. Should of got a proper windscreen company to fit the screen wouldnt of had no problems then lol.
[QUOTE=Sabrex;3602897]Thanks m8

It dose look nice m8 and i like the black ? bonnet too . Im in the middle of fitting the same bodykit too , your tip on the alinement of the rear bumper was genius :notworthy thanks !. As for the wheels i was going to fit 18x9.5 rears and 18x7.5 front with my coilovers, would that be ok 4 the kit ??? :thumbs:
Fitted slam panel,air vent pipes, sabaru front indicators. You may see a scooby seat in the passanger side but its not trimmed yet (sits too high) bloody comfortable though. Kei all round 5m spacers used.
Its been fun very little rust now as its been welded to buggery all over.

I agree i was to blame :( allowing norris to send me the wrong kit in the first place - tell him its bollox and then fit the dam thing !
2 yr on pull it all off and now its the way i wanted it in the first place lol

It was a veilside rear wing,
the only thing left over from the original ND Kit 405 from norris.

Hello mate just wondering where you got these lights from and are they the ones from an S14 bumper.
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa176/xborninthefightx/f1leftside.jpg
Oh are you using them for indicators or the other ones.
Im having a problem with mine dont know what to use.:(
They were from a mates sabaru we swapped over the wires so they blink for indicators and my square ones above just shine white..
I can find out what model of sabaru if you like?
xborninthefight
18-11-2007, 23:34
please, i really dont know wat would be good to use as indicators and that on yours look cool, fits well too.
xborninthefight
18-11-2007, 23:46
I think i found them is it these
http://www.potn.co.uk/p2235538.htm
Sabaru all models 1994-2000
Item : Crystal 1993-1998
http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/front_crystal_93-98.gif

That looks verynice and good idea using the sub lights half the reason i sold the monkey bumper that was similar to the one you have.

22-11-2007, 13:26
Just got these today, with the holders and bulbs too:sxoc:

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa176/xborninthefightx/IMG_3319.jpg
Did you just stick them on to the top or make some holes or something:)
Oh yeah do you know where i can get the bulb holders for the other new lights
these
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa176/xborninthefightx/03.jpg
http://www.scream-clan.co.uk/images/LHindicator.jpg
Ok the excisting bulb holder on mine (i didnt get one like you have) i had to swap all the wireing over so i got indicating on the bigger bulb holder that would fit these lights - this meant the small bulb holders after the wiring swap fitted the square front lights. it doesnt fit and screw in but then i used a load of insulating tape and cable ties.
:rolleyes:orange bulbs will make it look like egg yolks m8
