Project Not Long Now S13

**Pablo13** · 17-10-2006, 17:57

Just a quickie. Got an mot for it today as this will be my daily driver for now as well as the occasional event thrown in for good measure

.
an on her first official day back on the road I come home to find another load of DW goodies just arrived

Thats a nismo gearbox mount to go with the engine ones I have but not fitted yet, some oil for my gearbox, solid steering bush, magnetic sump plug, and option vol 20 dvd which im gonna watch tonight. on the downside I seem to have a bit of oil smoke on the over rev which would lead me to believe the turbo is shagged, hmm, better get saving!

Hey peeps. Just got back from nissans with some clear side repeaters. Anyway the turbo was smoking worse and worse so I have parked her up and put an order in from owen developments for a gt2871r

It wont get a respray till i have a bodykit fitted and thats a while off so Im still undecided what colour to go for or just keep the gold?

Fitted the side repeaters

This was purchased from ebay

Yes its an xs power job. I know it will crack

, which is why I have decided to buy another and when it does crack swap and weld, swap and weld, and so on. Cheaper option than going for the more expensive ones I have seen (dependent on the number of time it cracks i suppose

). Turbo has been built and should be here on monday so next week I can crack on and fit it

**Pablo13** · 06-11-2006, 21:37

More Goodies

444cc injectors.

**nismo** · 11-11-2006, 19:53

The XS manifolds do crack but are alot better if you support them by welding a bracket to the manifold pipe and bolting it too the head, then support the manifold where it joins the downpipe by welding a bracket there and bolting it too the gearbox. Did that to mine and it never cracked for atleast 6000 miles when i sold the car

Top work there

I'm loving these threads, just re read Petrols

, and its giving me loads of ideas

You should try to get down to the HWH meet this week

**Pablo13** · 12-11-2006, 15:25

Thanks for the comments

Lovin petrols thread too, shame its come to an end. I will be down HWH this thursday but am unsure if I will have the S13 with me or not, depends on how smoothly this all bolts together

**Steam** · 12-11-2006, 15:45

Very very nice, makes me wish i had the knowledge to attempt something like this, and the space.

Go for it, get off your arse and get on the spanners

**Pablo13** · 13-11-2006, 22:44

Well I cracked on and got on with the turbo fitting today. All went quite smoothly and I had the turbo off ok.

I think these two photos explain why it was smoking

Major play I think you will agree!!

Old n new together

And from then on it all started to go downhill

That aint gonna fit!

I went to fit the xs manifold and it looked as though it it wouldnt fit with the abs on even though this is a mk2. I may well be able to fit if i removed the abs to get it in then refit it. but then I came up with an idea of removing the studs to slot it in and then refit the studs once the mani was in place. So I cracked on and started to remove the studs......and ended up snapping a stud

Its been left there and hopefully a stud extractor should be in my possesion tomorrow
