Well boys and girls I guess it is about time for me to post somthing up on my test bed S13.

I took delivery of this little gem a couple years ago.

Lets just say I offered the guy who owned it $400. and he said "Oh no...that is too much for that car." Well she needed some work to get going. Blown head gasket.
Got that gong and rocked it for a while...then I decided to get these. JIC magic...JDM TYTE Yo.


With my new lower stance and I happened upon some SE wheels she looked like this.

I was pretty happy with my little runner..and then.

Is this bad ?

I figured this little hobby Is gonna cost me so I need another stream of income...I came up with these.

That is how I met Rob and all you guys. Things kinda snowballed from there.
Back to the build...so I picked up one of these. Cusco 2way LSD. Rob came over and helped with the install.


Well then I designed this and built this little gem, I think some of you guys will recognize this piece.

Thes sold so well that I have had to take three of them off my car to sell them...lol

OK more building...Well my new endevor cost me allot of time so my poor car got garaged and was just a test bed for more cool parts.
Recently with lots of encouragement I have got the car out and started working on her more.
New Italian goodness thanks to Andrew.

Fabbed up some fender braces...Stiff is good!

While I had the front off decided to put on my Silvia front.

With the Aero Slivia front I had to have the side skirts...thanks Rob!

Now we come to today where I am gonna finally get my wheels and tires mounted soon. I had to strip so much paint, and powder coat off these it was amazing. Here are my freashly painted R33 GTR wheels.

Ready for some new shoes.

Until next time...

LOL..Many thanks go out to Rob, Andrew, and Drew for helping me out, suppling me with all kinds of cool parts, and keeping me on track.

I forgot to mention I owe a big thanks to Matt at Mattz garage for letting me use his blast booth to strip my wheels. My new shoes are down at his shop waiting for me to get the wheels back there. I am also hoping to get some lift time down there to do my 5-lug.

[Just Droo]

Hey dude. Looks badass. I'm stoked to get it out there. Hey, I am off all day wednesday, so I can help ya with the 5 lug switch then if you'd like.

Well here is an update...I have been fighting trying to get my little car smogged. I did tons of stuff...new plugs, new wires, new cap, new rotor, new O2, rebuilt injectors, Seafoamed.... and she still would not pass. Well come to find out I have low compression across the board, and real low on #1. Time to retire the SOHC after 160k.
Well this weekend with a lot of help...Rob, Doug, and Andrew, we got the single cam out and the dual back in. Yea double the horsepower!!! And we only managed to smash one person...sorry Rob
Seriously Monster thanks goes out to Rob, Andrew, and Doug...I could not have done it without you guys.

LOL well last saturday I was sitting on the ground next to the motor/tranny which was on a furniture dolly so we could roll it around, I thought Andrew had a hold of the motor but he didnt, I grabbed the motor to move it closer to me and it fell over. It jacked up my left hand a lil bit, but not too bad.

Speaking of last saturday, what happened to u stopping by my place?

[Copilot]

Fucking fell asleep.....Had inventory that day and sunday and ended up passing out on the couch...working 12 days in a row is the shit....NOT.

[Jonnie Fraz]

Ok a couple of updates...New motor, dual cam hotness...Thanks Rob, Doug & Andrew for helping out.
New fender braces...

New smog...wow I am legit.

Took this shot today...did a little detailing.

[mestizo]

Dam it's about time you got a full shot of your car! Looks good now all you need is some rear valences and paint.

[Sideways~S14]

Wow looks good John!

[N8_drift]

Nice John, going to be so clean!

[Jonnie Fraz]

Well did a couple things yesterday...on a whim I decited to install my HICAS sway bar that I have had forever. Since I was there I did some of my ES bushings.
Did the endlink bushings for the sway and I did the subframe inserts.
Super simple install...
Smash the insert into the oem bushing.

Install the supplied washer and tighten the sub frame back up.


Tightened up the rear a bit...well worth the 15min install.

[assassin10000]

Yay. More progress.

Andrew
