Ive been a bit busy this year getting it ready for the drifty season.

[Stevecarter200]

First I got these from Mr Dunn....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/DSCN0730.jpg

and I made them look like this....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/BuddyClubs002-1.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/BCs001.jpg

I got these from ebay before christmas. They were pretty shagged but after a bit of sanding and filling and sanding and painting, they looked like this....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/spats002.jpg

and then I bought this...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage002.jpg

So I had to do this...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage003.jpg

While I was ona spending spree I also bought this....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/bumper002.jpg

Seeing as the bumper had to come off, so did the dented wings....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/180sxwings003.jpg

And undented 180SX wings went on....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/180sxwings006.jpg

So the cage fitting started....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage004.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage008.jpg

Paul_S13 came up to do the welding as mine is a bit ****y....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage006.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage011.jpg

But I had to weld the support boxes for the front legs as Paul went home. No pics because I forgot.:wack:

I also welded on a brackety thing for the new front towing eye...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/toweye001.jpg

[Stevecarter200]

So, I need a battery cut off switch. So in it went with pull cables mounted on a rather nifty bracket I made.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cutoff1.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cutoff004.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cutoff2.jpg

Then I bolted the cage in properly and put the dash back in....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage027.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage028.jpg

and got the bumper back from the spray shop. Not the best colour match unfortunately. :rolleyes:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/newbumper001.jpg

And then I finished putting the rest of the dash back together and added cage padding...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cage0361.jpg

and chucked some bonnet pins on....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/bonnetpins1.jpg

And some FIA harnesses....

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/FIAseatandharness1.jpg

and then a plumbed in fire extinguisher system fell into the car along with the interior pull cables for the battery cut off and extinguisher...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/fireext1.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/fireextandintpulls.jpg

And now, thank god, its finished and I treated myself to a super unhealthy fry up.:D

[Chris]

Looks great :nod: :thumbs:

[CBomb]

Looks fantastic Steve, worth all the effort:thumbs:

[Damo]

looks great mate well done

damo

[MarkH]

Top work steve, what make are those pedals I like :D

[SM]

Well done Steve, see your still hanging onto every last bit of refinement you can while still being drift-spec. Carpets :wack:

[Lynxy]

awesome mate :notworthy

[Sideways Danny]

Well done Steve, see your still hanging onto every last bit of refinement you can while still being drift-spec. Carpets :wack:

he really does actually still like his car quite a lot. This is still one of my favourite s13s. I remember when it had teardrops on it:ghey:

[Daniel san]

Cracking work fella, looks all rather neat for a dorifto machine :)

[Chavbo]

Awesome :thumbs:

[fletch_14a]

you have been busy, so thats why you didnt get time to do my poly bushes:thumbs:

ill be buying a budget S13 shortly so i'll be badgering you for tips:thumbs:

[Stevecarter200]

Cheers all.:)

I'm not a big fan of the stripped out look. Ok for a full blown track car I guess but mine isnt quite there yet. The next thing I want is a proper 2way diff rather than the welded one Ive got. Not because it'll make much difference drifting on track but just so its nicer to drive on the road.:wack:

[Daniel san]

Who did the bumper in the end then Steve?

[JC]

Looking really good there Mr C,all that hard work has certainly paid off :nod: ;)


Who did the bumper in the end then Steve?
Stevie Wonder by the looks of it! :wack: :D

[Stevecarter200]

Who did the bumper in the end then Steve?Panelcraft in colchester. Im seriously considering asking them to do it again, in the right colour. Pisses me off really, I gave them a wing panel to match the colour to as well as the code. Took 3 bloody weeks to do it as well.:rolleyes:

[JC]

Panelcraft in colchester. Im seriously considering asking them to do it again, in the right colour. Pisses me off really, I gave them a wing panel to match the colour to as well as the code. Took 3 bloody weeks to do it as well.:rolleyes:
Throw it back at them mate,its not like they can give you the old "well we had to spray it without the car so you can't expect it to be spot on" excuse if you gave them a paint code and a panel to match it to :rolleyes:

[Daniel san]

Yeah, no excuse for that if they've got an entire panel to match it against! What did they charge you? I guess they were cheaper than the prices we got when you came down - by how much?

[colchester daz]

agreed mate, id send it back.... what else you got planned for it??

[Stevecarter200]

£175 for the paint.:cry:


Dunno Daz, a 2 way at some point but apart from that theres not much left to do to it.:wack:

[Stevecarter200]

Top work steve, what make are those pedals I like :D

Cant remember mate, you can get them in boy racer type shops pretty easy.

[japdrifter]

blooming el mate!!:thumbs: i love the way you make it sound like you done it all in a day:D


car looks gr8 i love the way you have kept it refined instead of totally stripped out:)

[jacks300zx]

well illl have dibs on your welded diff if u sell it! lol

[RTLKyuubi]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cutoff2.jpg

Hope theres not gonna be a rainy day :P

(or do they clear the wiper blade?)

Ryan.

[def]

Very nice:)

[Paul_S13]

Wooooo looking good chief! :thumbs:


P.S. Anyone who has seen my name on multiple threads saying I have fitted cages can forget about asking me to do it as its a frigging nightmare! :annoyed:

[Paul_S13]

I remember when it had teardrops on it:ghey:


Yours does now! :ghey: :ghey:

[Sideways Danny]

Yours does now! :ghey: :ghey:

oh shit, forgot about that :wack:

[PhilV]

wow, alot of work but looks great!

[andyfield]

Great work, shame about the paint. Tell them to get it sorted!!

You going to let Laura drive it at JAE again ? ;)

[cHiL]

Wow, loads of quality work. Good luck this year:thumbs:

[jacks300zx]

just reminded me mate, took this last time we were at lydd, be taking lots of pics sunday;

[RohanC]

Cracking work Steve, cars lookin great :thumbs:

[Chris B]

Looks fab :nod:

[Polo2]

See the car in flesh today:nod: Looking nice:cool: and man, i wish i could drift like you:eek:

[Ari Vatanen]

looking very good :thumbs:

just one question - whats the 5 litre can under the bonnet for, never seen one there before unless topping up on washer bottle fluid ;) ???




http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/cutoff1.jpg

[RohanC]

looking very good :thumbs:

just one question - whats the 5 litre can under the bonnet for, never seen one there before unless topping up on washer bottle fluid ;) ???

Its an oil catch tank... and looks suspiciously like an anti freeze bottle to me ;)

[Hallsy]

Looking good Steve, shame about the bumper, but I'd tell them it doesn't match, they'll moan but should do it again. Melford Panelcraft (same company?) did a wing for my old chap and it was shite, so he got them to do it better :)

Got any decent profile shots of the car? Your bodywork is almost identical to mine (180sx bits, etc) and I was wondering what bumper to put on the front so would be good to see how well it ties in with the OEM stuff :thumbs:

[Matt_S]

Heres one or two from the weekend... :)

http://doristars.com/v-web/gallery/albums/ukdc/RD1_0245_copy.sized.jpg

http://doristars.com/v-web/gallery/albums/ukdc/RD1_0616_copy.sized.jpg

I think it looks spot on now :thumbs:

[def]

Nice looking s13 and great pics

[Hallsy]

Cheers Matt, looks quite good, the lines of the skirts (which I have a set of) match the front bumper quite well, I was worried that some of the bumpers with the flared lips would look out of place.

What bumper is it Steve?

Have the wings been painted as well, as they look a long way out on the 2nd pic?

By the way Matt, I'll get those centre caps one day, just had a lot of shit going on of late and really haven't had chance to arrange anything.

[Matt_S]

In Steves absence (sp) the bumper is a URAS N+ I think and the front wings came off of a 180sx breaker he bought a couple of years back. Same colour as his, but that pic does indeed show it in a bad light :wack:

No probs with the centre caps mate. I still have them under a pile of crap in the garage (which I hope to tidy this week ) :wack:

[Ari Vatanen]

Its an oil catch tank... and looks suspiciously like an anti freeze bottle to me ;)

LOL :D

[Hallsy]

Cheers Matt :)

[Bubble]

Great work Steve, looks like it kept you busy for quite a while:D

Take the bumper back to Panel Craft Steve, the colour looks miles out:eek:

[Kev]

Crackin work Steveo, fookin nice one mate.
Not many bumper i like aftermarket wise, but i think that follows the natural lines really well :thumbs:
Gonna have to get it re-done though mate, we both know it will annoy the shit outa u if u dont :(

Ur spec is almost identical to mine man :wack:
We always seem to go for the same type of stuff.
And yeah my carpets will defo be going back in when the cage is done, in fact, so will th rear seats and arch covers :D
Im probably the only drifty person who has added sound deadening to the car :D


Wooooo looking good chief! :thumbs:


P.S. Anyone who has seen my name on multiple threads saying I have fitted cages can forget about asking me to do it as its a frigging nightmare! :annoyed:

Trying making the cage as well as fitting it mate while the owner is away to portugal on holiday for a week, then u will really know what a nightmare is:nod:

Kev

[Stevecarter200]

Have the wings been painted as well, as they look a long way out on the 2nd pic?



Wierd innit? In the first pic the bumper looks miles out, in the second pic the wings look miles out.:wack:

I'm going to have to go see the paint shop I think.:)

Must admit, I'm seriously considering a full spray as the nearside rear quarter is miles out as well (rattle can spraying, yay!). I'm not actually sure which panels are wrong though, its had so much paint over the years, before and since I bought it, they are all a bit out.

A few more pics of it in action for you.:)

Try fitting a cage with a raging miget who had a curry the night before and was parping for 8 hours solid........:D

And as for Mr Dunns, well all I'll say is food poisoning......:hurl: :rolleyes: :D

[Matt_S]

Hahaha PMSL :D:D:D

[jonjon]

Saw the car on Sunday, it looked great! I hadn't realised so much had been done to it since I saw it last either, awesome spec now. Best of luck with the rest of the season - carpeted-drift-car FTW! :D

[Sideways Danny]

Wierd innit? In the first pic the bumper looks miles out, in the second pic the wings look miles out.:wack:

it deserves a full paint mate, you know you want to :thumbs: get them to knock the cost of doing the bumper off and do it all in the late blue

[Kev]

weirdly ur doors look out in one of the pics above, so yeah mate its gotta be a full spray by the looks of it :(

Paul, i said similar, he doesnt have the class to have purplyness :wack:

[Paul_S13]

Paul, i said similar, he doesnt have the class to have purplyness :wack:


LOL class......yeah :rolleyes: :D :p

[LiGhTnInG]

so whats the difference between the 180sx wings and the s13 wings?

[Paul_S13]

As far as I can see the indicators are in front of the wheel and thats it.

[Rude Dog]

Looks good now but tbh it looked pretty good before.
What are the wheels and what size are they?

[Kieran_E1]

Trying making the cage as well as fitting it mate while the owner is away to portugal on holiday for a week, then u will really know what a nightmare is:nod:

Kev

and you said you enjoyed it and would do it again in a heartbeat:annoyed:

still portugal was lovely!!:wave:

[Stevecarter200]

so whats the difference between the 180sx wings and the s13 wings?

Like Paul said, the indicators are at the front of the wings. And they have less dents than my old ones.:D

[Stevecarter200]

Looks good now but tbh it looked pretty good before.
What are the wheels and what size are they?

Buddy Club P1 Racing, 8x17 ET22 (ET7 with spacers) on the front and 9x17 ET27 (ET22 with spacers) on the rear.

[Stevecarter200]

I see no purple! :p :D

Calling them parps is almost an insult. Raging bottom bellows is more like it.:D I think I'm half cow.:wack:

[SteveSadler]

looking good m8 :D

[LiGhTnInG]

what size spacers are you running?

[Stevecarter200]

what size spacers are you running?
5 on the rear, 15 on the front.

[Paul_S13]

How about titanic guffers? :D

Noooooo!!

Leave it the original blue :sxoc:

[mel3003_uk]

great Job, I want a roll cage like that!!

[Matt_S]

great Job, I want a roll cage like that!!

I think Steve will allow me to say...

'Your welcome to it :wack: '

LOL :D

[SteveDunn]

Yeah, if you like pain, get one of those cages. If you like a less stressful existance, get someone else to build one and fit it for you...

[Yak]

Oh joy, Im looking forward to getting mine then :wack:

[Damo]

looking very nice :cool:

[Stevecarter200]

Took the car to the spray shop for them to have a look at the bumper. In all fairness to them they went straight for the colour swatch, compared it and said they would respray it as the colour hadnt come out like the swatch. They are going to do a colour card this week to make sure they get it right this time so it should be all sorted within a couple of weeks or so.:)

[digglett]

:clap: LOOKING GOOD STEVE.....unfortunately with the paint thing....some tints in colours darken or lighten when they have dried...so it looks spot on at the time but when fully cured changes ever so slightly...:wack:

Best thing is to blend in to doors and paint the bonnet:wack:

[Stevecarter200]

So this week I have mostly been fitting this...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/wastedspark006.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/wastedspark005.jpg

As a trial run for the lovely people at DW. It works good. Better idle and smoother power delivery, particularly low down in the revs.

Then I removed the welded diff and fitted this...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/diff001.jpg

and replaced this...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/diff003.jpg

Did the 30 minutes figure of 8 bedding in, which was fun.:wack::no: Then had a little play.:D First impressions are that the back end comes out easier than with a welded diff both with clutch kick and power over and is much much nicer to drive on the road.:cool:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/SteveC200/diff005.jpg

[arry]

good work Steve :) Must get a coil setup for mine actually, seems a very good idea :nod:

[Hallsy]

Good stuff Steve, what makes a remote coilpack better than 4 direct ones?

[Stevecarter200]

Good stuff Steve, what makes a remote coilpack better than 4 direct ones?

Its new for a start so works better.:D Most standard coil packs are at least 15 years old and have done 100,000 miles or so, they cant possibly be working as good as they should.

[Hallsy]

Fair enough, I've never been sure about the quality of connection on the spring loaded contacts either. Suppose you don't know til you try!!

[Fake Ben Taylor]

didnt think to reply here - replyed on your thread on driftworks :rolleyes:

[colchester daz]

Steve do you know anyone who can weld diff's, coz i might be getting Jacks open diff to put on mine as my lsd is shagged?:annoyed:

I'm liking the remote coil pack. If someone like myself wanted to get one how much are we talking about :) and where from? :)

[Stevecarter200]

Dont know anyone local that can weld diffs I'm afraid.

Not sure on price as this is a development one for Driftworks.

[ColinR]

Good work steve, have been waiting for DW to release a wasted spark setup - so much so that I went out and made my own kit.

How did the coil pack wire into the standard loom? IIRC, there are 5 wires going to the coils from the main loom, and only 3 on a wasted spark setup.

Im guessing 1 is Earth and the others are individual for each coil, so with a wasted spark you've wired 1&4 to 1 coil on the remote pack and 2&3 to the other coil on the remote pack?

ColYep, thats pretty much it. Theres a 12v feed and 4 trigger wires. Wire them up as you said and all is good.

What coil did you use?

[ColinR]

I was going to use a ford one, but ended up with a Vectra 2.5 V6 its a bit chunker than the ford one, but as it was an experiment I wanted to stay cheap, and it was :)

Col

[Stevecarter200]

V6?

[ColinR]

V6?

lol! Ok Colin, breath and think before you speak! Just read the auction to find out exactly what it was, but it also listed a V6 - since hes also breaking one! Its actually from a 2.0Litre 16V Ecotec. :o

Col

[Stevecarter200]

Well, problem solved with the mismatched paint on the bumper. I sort of killed it today at Santa Pod drifty practice. Hit a couple of cones and a fence.:wack:

sounds like youve had a very drifty breaky things day! got any pics? is it cable tie-stitch-able?

bugger :(

Mate i know they say that mimicing is the biggest form of flattery, but really, u could have just said me crashing was cool, u didnt have to do it too :wack:

Hope theres not too much damage mate:)

[Stevecarter200]

Kev, you crashing was cool. I just want to be you.:D

Its repairable but I doubt it will look pretty. I think I'm going to buy another bumper for road use and have the damaged one for drift use.

Also managed to make my aerial look like this... Z .... after a flappy bit of tyre wrapped itself around it.:wack:

[Stevecarter200]

So heres some pics of the bumper.

A little crack

So hopefully tomorrow I'll be grinding out the nasty bits on the front and chucking some resin in and then some filler. With any luck it will come out ok.

Then comes the nasty bit of painting it. I'm not paying £170 again so its either going to be a rattle can job or I'll see what I can do with my compressor and cheapo spray gun. It could go horribly wrong.:D

[colchester daz]

Shit mate, after getting the new bumper and the probs you had with the colour you go and smash it..... nevermind lol

At least it still in one piece, coz that could of been annoying

[Daniel san]

Steve I think you'll be surprised at how well they fix up fella! The structure and shape of it looks intact so glass the back as you've done for support and strength, glass the front, then rub it down a bit to smooth it then paint it up again. You're handy with your hands and tools etc so you'll shock yourself I bet!

Sent the email over to Japan anyway btw

[Stevecarter200]

Yeah, its coming along. Dripped some resin into the front of the big cracks for a bit more strength and have filled and sanded it down. Not going to bother with the small cracks at the top of the bumper because it means I can get away with just spraying the bottom lip bit. Its not going to be perfect as a couple of bits are slightly misaligned but it will do for a bumper to drift on.

Oddly enough a can of cheapo paint Ive got thats supposed to be Nissan TH1 (but isnt) turns out to be a perfect match for the non matching paint on the bumper. Bonus.:wack::D

Still going to want another bumper for posing in though Dan.:thumbs:

Flatting and basecoat tomorrow, maybe laquer if I get time. :)

[Stevecarter200]

Youre editting is so subtle Paul.:rolleyes::p

Dont make me report you to your superiors.:D

[Daniel san]

Steve I managed to get the container delayed by 4 or 5 days and Uras are sorting a few N+ bits inc a front bumper for you :)

Was a close call as the container was due to leave in 2 nights lol :)

Err, thanks.:cry: :wack:

[Stevecarter200]

Well, its done. The colour match isnt as good as I'd hoped but it looks ok. Oh well, yet another shade of TH1 on the car.:rolleyes:

[Hallsy]

Good repair job :) You getting another N+ for show?

Shame your S13 is now tri-tone :wack:

On a side note, you mentioned you had tried some Federal SuperSteels, what did you say about them again? Piss poor? I have a pair and debating whether to bother keeping them or not (road use).

[Stevecarter200]

Its more quad tone really.:D

Well, I killed the Federals at Eurodrift last saturday as I ran out of drifty tyres but they are suprisingly good. So much so that Ive just bought another pair. Havent tried them in the wet but they were fine when the road was damp.

[Hallsy]

Yeah but do you like them because they step out easilly?

Oh, and talk about satellite delay with the reply :p

[Stevecarter200]

Oh, and talk about satellite delay with the reply :p

Yeah, the delay is terrible. Technology today, rubbish innit.:wack:

They grip very well, Ive got them as my road tyres so dont want slippy slidey ones. In fact I was using Federals at Japfest on the track session, didnt have any probs at all with grip.

[Hallsy]

May aswell keep them then :)

[colchester daz]

How's the backend steve, heard you damaged the drivers rear quarter??

[Dave_S]

WOW, missed all of this, top job with the car / repairs Steve :cool:

Dave

[Stevecarter200]

Did a bit of hammer and paint work today after my bash at Japfest and fitted another leccy aerial, made another undertray and fettled my rear discs.

The bash.

Much better. It'll do for now until I get enough time to do a proper job on it.

Grooved rear drum. Nothing serious, it shouldnt need much to deglaze the shoes, which I'd done at Japfest.

And a pic of my intercooler after collecting a cone at Eurodrift.

[arry]

yowsers, those cones really hurt :eek:

Shame about the rear quarter Steve, that's both of em that'll be full of filler now, I guess? :wack:

[Kev]

Nice job on the temp repair mate.
is the cooler intact? thats a far whack....

[Stevecarter200]

The IC is fine and doesnt leak. Took it off yesterday and pressure tested it. It held well enough to take over 2 bar and fire the bung in one end straight out of the garage and about 20foot.:D

Good repair job! BTW, how did you grove the disk/drum?

[mags200]

[The_BULK]

guted about the bump at japfest :eek: it was with pete barber wasnt it??

good job with the hammer :thumbs: and i never knew a cone could be so damaging :wack:

[Stevecarter200]

Another bit of damage wouldnt have mattered.:rolleyes::D

Grooved the drum with a dremel.:smash: Going to keep an eye on it for cracks or anything iffy but I reckon it'll be ok, the cuts are pretty straight and even and only about 1mm deep. Might help, might not but its worth a try.:)

[Stevecarter200]

Yeah, Pete caved the side of his car in on the rear quarter panel. Its been hammered out and he's got wider arches to slap on.

Cones are hard little bastids.:smash::D

[Sideways Danny]

[Stevecarter200]

Supplement: Project me.:D

I got an EDC provisional License today and made the reserves for sunday. With any luck I'll get to drive. I managed to get in the gravel a few times too many but overall I was pretty happy with my performance. Fast entry though, 78mph.:eek:

Chuffed.:)

Oh, the modded handbrake drum worked a treat too.:)

[madcowman]

congrats on the licence don :)
