So it then sat in my yard all summer and winter. It's now been about 8 months and time to revive it! It was super nice out the other day so it encouraged me to start my project. I have a ton of parts that I've collected over the last few years and I'm gonna put them to good use. I had a fully built piggy before which had some frame rot and would no longer pass inspection. 
So I have taken that car apart and will put the pieces to good use. Here are some pics of the vert in the first few stages. This will end up being a slow build, so stay posted! 
Sorry some of the pics are crappy, my garage is dark so I tried to lighten the pics with PS.

Not very hard at all. I used a sawzall and cut the clip into a smaller section. Basically just the fire wall... Then I went to Robbins Auto parts and grabbed a spot weld cutter...basically a mini hole saw that has a spring loaded center point in the middle. Cut out all the spot welds and took it all apart. I'll be doing the same once I get the car ready. Once it's all out, just line in up perfectly and start tack welding! I cant wait! BTW, Props to Jarco...That's who I got the clip from...really nice guys over there. As I stated before, it's gonna be a slow build...thanks to mother nature I am back to waiting for warm weather again. Only in New England can it be 75* and then 10" of snow in the same week....

I dont know yet....I have decided to do the engine bay semi gloss grey...I like the look of it alot. I dont want to match it with the body, nor do I want to paint it black...don't like the look. As far as the body color, it is undecided. I was thinking maybe white, then I saw the netural colors on the new nissans. I was thinking maybe along the lines of the 'desert stone' from the frontier.

However, in the event that I just sold my coupe a week ago, I now am stuck driving my DD subie wagon. Not a very satisfying ride. So once again I have starting working more on this project. Plans have changed a little. The RHD may or may not happen...I need to look into the legality of it. Also, I've decided to go for a more OEM/JDM look. I've seen so many different looks on this forum in the last few months and cannot help seeing other things that catch my eyes. Anyways, I left off this on this thread at the point where I was ready to pull the motor. This has finally been done. Thanks to DJButton, I was able to get a folding hoist to bring to the house! 'High five, very nice!' On to a few new pics...
A new lawn ornament!
She needs a little TLC with some minor rust. Surface only, no worries!
My essssr that should push 400rwhp ish when it's done.
And the car I fell in love with that cause me to change my mind from Bling Bling wide-body/Huge lipped wheels to Mild OEM/JDM concept. 90DGRZ, hope you don't mind bro. Your car is the ish and I'd like to clone it into a vert! 
I'll be using my Hanabi's off of my coupe, along with the Tein SD suspension. I'm really hoping to get this things on the road for at least one group drive before winter!

i know coupes did and i'd say 90% of the interiors will swap easily and 5% with some work and the last 5% might not. the door panels will swap if you do the pillar removal or just swap the doors; the carpet and rear seat will probably need modification; and the rear panels probably won't work - they'll need to be customized somehow. as far as i can think everything else would be a direct swap. i'm a fan of the tan/brown interior and considered doing this with the tan top... but i'm going in a different direction.
i'd love to see this done though. good luck getting tan/brown rhd stuff though... you could always use vinyl paint...

I finally, yes FINALLY was able to get my vert out of my tiny garage and up to our shop. I've been workin my butt off here and there between work, life and the GF. But here are a few updated pics. Sorry for the camera phone shots, was all I had on me at the time.Me and my room mate pushed it up on the trailer. Went smoothly all things considered.
Here we are fresh off the trailer and into the shop!
I sand blasted the engine bay with play sand from home depot. Primed and painted with Krylon. Four coats and it looks pretty mint!
I had our in-house powder coater guy do my valve cover and greddy mani. Looks really cool in person.
And today I installed my Tein Super Drifts and Hanabi's. Also, what you can't see from the pic is that I put on my 300zx calipers and re-drilled rotors.
For those of you who remember, I was going to do the RHD swap. I opted not to do this swap at this point in time. The weather is way to nice out to be without a fun car to drive. I still have all the parts, and our winters are long indeed here in NH. So needless to say, it is still a very real possibility.

Don't worry, it will all be repainted to match the car.
I've still got about a 2 finger gap between the front tire and fender. Now I know that is highly inappropriate so it will be corrected asap! 
On another note, I ordered a catco high flow and greddy top feed fuel rail today. If anyone is looking for that fuel rail, call 240sxmotoring! They supposedly bought all of the ones released to the US this past shipment so they will have a few!

I also have another delima. I honestly don't usually care what others think about how my car looks, but I need some opinions as to what some of you would choose to do. I have the brickyard headlights and oe corners. Problem is, the corners came in two different shades of amber! I had ordered some clear corners one night off ebay but never installed. I don't want the car to look ricey. What do you guys think?
i just don't know which I will go with...

I think the clear corners look funny with OEM headlights... That's just my opinion.

Post Title:
Posted by: twistedsymphony at 9:35 AM 6/5/2008
the JDM OEM headlights have a nice "smoked" look to them which continues into the OEM corners... the clear ones look like cheap plastic by comparison.
you might consider using them if you could emulate the OEM smoked look but IMO you'd be better off rocking the OEM corners with different shades of amber... you'd only notice it if you were looking at the car straight on with perfectly even lighting, and even then it'd be hard to notice unless you were looking for it.
either that or buy another set that matches and hock the spares on ebay.
BTW... I better see this thing on the roat a the seacoast meet... get to it!

I definitely agree with everyone about them looking cheap. That's why I never put them on the other car. Just one of those things that goes through someones head even though you know its wrong lol. As far as this car being on the drive, that is the goal! And unless something goes terribly wrong from here on out there should be no reason it won't be there.
Post Title: Re: (jspec603)
Posted by: bakgwailo at 12:12 PM 6/5/2008
but, yup, I plan on going to the seacost drive on the 28th, looking forward to it! I will probably be in the hatch though, as I don't think my GF wants to take her very out until we get it painted nicely/new top/etc.
btw, i have the full vert interior if you need anything, its grey leather. Also a bunch of top part stuff/rear windows/top motor/wires/etc
as for swapping the harness... i wasn't really thinking (i have swapped coup/hatch/etc harness, really easy), but the convertible harness is a bit different that all the other, like it has the power door look thing behind the back seat, the rear window switches/motors/top motor/etc, might be a bit more difficult that I thought.
BUT it should be doable with a soldering gun, heat shrink, FSM, patience, and a lot of paper and a pencil

Fuel Lab reg with a Tovic carbon look pressure gauge. Also notice the nifty fuel filter courtesy of my buddy over at Fujii SPL. 
A quickie of the rail in hover mode with the invisible injectors. 
Finally, my quickie adapter bracket for the rail. Note: I'm waiting for my injectors to show up before I mod the spacers that came with the Greddy rail, just in case they are a bit taller/shorter. 
That's all for now! I'm probably going to install the Blitz down pipe, Catco cat and Greddy Ti-C exhaust tomorrow.

If you can pick up a can of Niteshades (or whatever the hell it's called) lens paint, you might try doing a smoked effect on the clear corners, just enough to match up with the OEM Halogen headlamps.
I just think it would look clean... and I have a slight OCD about symmetry so the differing shades of amber would piss me off everytime I saw em... and it would be in the back of my head whenever I was around the car.

| very nice man, but i'd lose the black striping and honestly, imo, the wheels (especially the backs) should be a lot more flush, so space or get new kicks. All in all though, shes a bad mama jama!! |
Actually just put the stripe on the front and rear bumpers and front fenders today. I do have a reason tho, the car had been painted and they masked around the original stripe on the doors and rear quarters. Had I removed that, who knows what woulda happened! The car will get and entire paint job hopefully next year sometime.
As for the wheels, i dont think the fronts can get anymore flush without sticking out, and I'm searching for a decent spacer for the backs. Once again, I have my heart set on new wheels anyways, so they are only temporary! I had gotten a bit carried away when i got my fender roller and did the car forgetting that I yet to acquire wheels to fit the flare! DOH! Here's a pic with the wheels in the front straight...they're fine. Can the car go a tad bit lower? Ya prolly.

Maybe when it gets a whole new paint job. I do however kinda like the look of the doors... gives it something different that the other 240's don't have.
The small things that still need some attention are parts of the interior, trunk and a good buff on the rest of the car.

And as always, keep an eye out for new mods! I've already got a list started in my head...You may have double vision next time you see under the hood.

And the car I fell in love with that cause me to change my mind from Bling Bling wide-body/Huge lipped wheels to Mild OEM/JDM concept. 90DGRZ, hope you don't mind bro. Your car is the ish and I'd like to clone it into a vert! I'll be using my Hanabi's off of my coupe, along with the Tein SD suspension. I'm really hoping to get this things on the road for at least one group drive before winter! |
lol... oh the irony 
what ever happened the the mild oem/jdm concept, LOL
anyways, looking good man.
(p.s. it's ironic because Chuck aka 90 dgrz has that same exact aero you have on his car now, LOL http://img.photobucket.com/alb...0.jpg talk about irony huh)

Adrian, funny thing is, Chucks was my original goal. I had this kit laying around and wanted the car on the road soooo bad. SuperMade should be in the near future!

| Howdy! So my fuel rail, catco cat and rebuilt turbo allllll arrived today. Took a little time after work to do a quick mockup of the exhaust mani, turbo and down pipe extension. Need to figure out where to put my egt and uego bungs. Once we do that I'm gonna have our powder coater hit the turbo mani, down pipe extension and open dump pipe in ceramic. Just have to pick up some injectors and a bunch of braided line and this thing should be finished! Here's another engine bay teaser...
I also have another delima. I honestly don't usually care what others think about how my car looks, but I need some opinions as to what some of you would choose to do. I have the brickyard headlights and oe corners. Problem is, the corners came in two different shades of amber! I had ordered some clear corners one night off ebay but never installed. I don't want the car to look ricey. What do you guys think?
i just don't know which I will go with... |

Anyways fellas, Project Jspec603 Phase 2 has begun! Just when you thought it was all over, I went and purchased something new!
I missed being the first vert on here with this kit by about a month or two, but as far as I know I'll still be the first vert with the S13 front! A few other things are in the planning stages as well. New exhaust, either buy or build one. New turbo setup, the old setup is now sold!!! You guys sure are gonna love my new plans.

| Not very hard at all. I used a sawzall and cut the clip into a smaller section. Basically just the fire wall... Then I went to Robbins Auto parts and grabbed a spot weld cutter...basically a mini hole saw that has a spring loaded center point in the middle. Cut out all the spot welds and took it all apart. I'll be doing the same once I get the car ready. Once it's all out, just line in up perfectly and start tack welding! I cant wait! BTW, Props to Jarco...That's who I got the clip from...really nice guys over there. As I stated before, it's gonna be a slow build...thanks to mother nature I am back to waiting for warm weather again. Only in New England can it be 75* and then 10" of snow in the same week.... |
You haven't ever been to Ohio then I'm interested to see how this progresses gl

Also, this "kit" is going to be a proto-type of sorts. We (Fujii-SPL) are going to consider producing this kit and selling it if all turns out well. However, that is the last thing we are worried about at this point.

my buddies HKS hi-power is worse, mine is a lot better because i had to make my own cat-delete section becuase my manifold flange was farked up, used it to raise it up some, mines high enough to where i had to trim half the rubber out ot the inside of the hangers and use hose clamps around to hold it up, and the hangers on the muffler in the back are are flared out at like a 45 degree angle, the muffler tip clears my tow hook by about 2 millimeters

First off, the vert's goin 5 lug! Here's the new fronts installed. Pics of the rear will be along shortly.
Here's a side view of the new wheels. Fronts are 18x10 +15. May/May not tub the front fenders. Absolutely ZERO rubbing issues anywhere (with out tires that is). This pic is also without the suspension being compressed or adjusted, as well as no adjustment on the camber plates. I have adjusted the camber plates to the maximum negative camber aloud by the plates and the top of the wheel sits flush with the fender.
Pulled the rear sub frame. Have a freshly painted sub frame ready to go in along with a few other goodies. Upgrading to a VLSD, rear 5 lug, boxing in all the OE arms and repainting, also have a full Energy Suspension bushing kit being installed. Once I get a few extra dollars I'll upgrade to a SPL suspension arms.
While the rear sub frame is out, I wire brushed all the surface rust. Then I used a rust stopper made by SEM products. Finally, I undercoated the entire area above the sub frame, rear wheel wells and over the exhaust canister (we all know they rust right there). No pics of the final undercoated area as of yet.
I also installed one of those nifty little throttle rotors you see all over the place. Is supposed to help throttle response. If nothing more, at least it matches the rest of the stuff under the hood! 
And here is where all the really good stuff will fill in! Still working on the setup, but it should be pretty intense once its done!
Also, if anyone needs a front mount kit let me know! I have the Blitz LM off my vert being sold so I can swap over to a liquid to air setup.
MOAR PICS SOON! Keep an eye out, we've got the car in the shop and a bunch more parts to go in! Also, I'll be swapping every exterior light to LED (minus the headlights which are already HID).

Sorry for the crappy cell pics, I completely forgot to bring the camera with me. Still wanted to document this portion of the build tho!
Much more to come soon! More parts are on their way as we speak.

The heat exchanger, aka radiator. It measures 27x7x2, and has a fair amount of mass to it. Should do the job of cooling just fine.
A pair of 7" fans to mount to the heat exchanger. A bit of extra cooling never hurts!
The intercooler its self. Core dimensions are 4.5x4.5x9". Coolant enters in on each end tank of the core. Has mounting provisions on the air inlet and outlet end tanks. 
And the least fun of it all, some 3" piping. This will be cut, chopped, spliced etc to make for the proper fitment! 
Soon I'll be posting install pics of the setup. Along with manifold parts and production.
Some one buy my Blitz intercooler kit!
