hey the build looks great so far.i want your engine, i plan on doing something similar.

how loud is your car with the test pipe though. i might go that way and i'm just curious what's good and what isnt.

[Hooked on 240]

its LOUD. too loud. like 7 tickets in the past 5 months loud. its not the ludness they give me a ticket for, the write it as a modifed exhaust

New York State FTL!

its deep tho, not raspy. actually sounds good. for a 4 banger

do you think it's mostly so loud because of the test pipe?

ill probably end up getting a hi flow cat. test pipes are so much cheaper though haha

[Hooked on 240]

i believe it will fail in a snog test with a test pipe. if you dont have smog test , go for it. there wayyyyy better

i do have a smog test, but after that i'm fine for a while.does it smell more or anything?

[TKE SigO 258]

Looks good!Nice and LOW!

[MastaYu]

clean

[Touge noob S13]

Your wheels are sunk other then that it looks good.

[sr20det_s13]

nice and clean the way i like it, drop and some rims can you take some more pictures of it at the sides i want to see how much fender gap is left, and what size are those rims?

[silvia_ks_69]

wut are ur plans for the car if ur going with that big of a turbo, prolly gunna be pretty laggy if ur not keeping the car in higher revs.

Its got that smell if you dont have a cat. nothing too bad.

TY altho, im gunna probaby raise it for the body kit, i dont know about you guys but NY roads suck.

idk, thinking about a 30R, cuz ive been reading alot, and most poeple switch out the 35R, for a 30r if there not all highway driving.

[Hooked on 240]

Got my clutch fixed.... working out some bugs, with the timing and syncos, it grinds 2nd no matter what i do. but had a local car meet today. The only pic:



I ordered a new slave cylinder, Wheel spacers a new short shift. If anyone has a money tree, i WILL travel for some

[Hooked on 240]

and btw the door is off a 90 240sx with a 17% bighter paint, and the fender was black i spayed with dupicolor til i spray the car

[Hooked on 240]

Sounds like you own a 240, haha. Those wheels look REALLY sunken, I honestly think the stock SE wheels would be better. Hopefully spacers fix it.

[edwinS13]

nice car man i like the under the hood set up you got there...

[weeman0987]

hey man i got one question for u how did u mount your plate in the front like that did u mount it to the bumper or a sub frame or wat i would love to do this to my car thx

[MastaYu]

nice car

[Hooked on 240]

In NY its illegal to have to front lic plate. to slove that most people (if youve seen a ny plate) bent (not cut) the bottom part where it says empire state. then taking the top part were it says NY you bend 90 degrees backwards. i mounted mine to that bar that runs under the bumper that has bolts in it. simply took out one bolt, put licence plate up slide the bolt threw and voila... did it at work with a table vice, block of wood and then a 10mm socket. takes 5-10 minutes.

Sounds like you own a 240, haha. Those wheels look REALLY sunken, I honestly think the stock SE wheels would be better. Hopefully spacers fix it.

ya, i might throw on my old SE rims to see if there better, at the monent im not in the mood to spend anymore money one the car, thats all i ever do. maybe in mid aug ill get some new rims with spacers. or i might just buy some spacers from tirerack.com

nice car man i like the under the hood set up you got there...

thanks im all KA>* only other setup i would run is a RB25. but honestly the s13 chassis flexes to much. theres about 12 people within a 50 mile radius of me that have sr's 1 Kade-t, 1rb25, 1rb20. and thats about it. hopefully ill take some more pics of tommrow, engine bay looks a little better with no battery or tray.

nice car

thanks. it'l look better i promise waiting for hatch wing,spoiler, gp sports body kit. soon as that comes its on to wheels.

also forgot : took out all the a/c lines in the bay i had lying around. compressor's oming out tommrow. thank god. no more green spots in parking spaces!!

will update with a **** ton of pics

[weeman0987]

thx dude

[Hooked on 240]

no problem. i laugh at the 2 cops that have pulled me over for no front plate. i tell them where it is, and they cant do anything abuot it. its 100% legal in ny, and approved by 3 different town judges, and 5 inpection places.

[fourLUG_hero]

I don't think having your front plate there is a good idea. Especially if your intake is basically sitting on your rad and you don't have a fan shroud. Right now, you're basically running 50-60% hotter underhood. Swap for some electric fans or something.

[Hooked on 240]

thats the part you cant see, i have 2 flex lite fans hooked up, that engine pic was from when i just finished my rad install, no longger have that intake/cltuch fan. i ran it a week like that with temps that never touhed 170. *** soon as i clean out the garge in a minute, and vaccum out the car, ill take some pics. and the lic plate is fine. until my bodykit comes

[Hooked on 240]

Im going RB!

Rb25det, my friend has one so the swap wont be as hard. more details next week!

Updated first post. check out my sig for more pics/info
