I've been around before, looking for solutions for specific problems when I had my first s13. I think it's about time I properly introduced myself
I'm from Belgium, and at the time of my first 200sx, they were extremely rare overhere.
So I had my first s13 for about a year (imported from the Netherlands), then sold it and regretted it ever since. It was in excellent condition overall.
After a while I started to look for another one, I had other priorities and looked for a budget-friendly solution and bought one cheap that I was planning on fixing.
Not that long after that, we bought a house and had to sell the car again.
We're pretty much through the biggest renovations, so a few months ago I bought yet another s13. Rather cheap again, but it didn't look too bad. And even so, I had the time and space to do some work to it.
I had the engine rebuilt with forged internals, and while that was going on I started working on the shell.
As I started taking everything out, I was hit with another setback... Again! As I removed the sound deadening, the floor was covered in rust. You could easily punch through it without too much effort. Same thing for the chassis beams, on the outside not much to see, but upon close inspection they were not hard at all. So we started to cut out sections and replace them. But as the works go on, other stuff keeps coming up, setting me back every time. I was angry at myself for having bought this piece of junk, maybe not having inspected it enough or so.
So I pretty much had enough of it, and have decided to break it.
So now I have a completely rebuilt engine, and no car to put it in. I don't want to break anymore, or do substantial works prior to dropping in the engine. So I contacted some people and am now on the lookout for what I've never had seen possible of doing in the past.
I'm trying to find a solid PS13 Silvia shell, do a Onevia conversion and drop my ca18 in there, so I can finally get on the road again!
So here it is, my storyI'll try to add the pics of my s13's.
