Biggie Vert Update - Aug 07

Post by **biggie** » Sat Aug 04, 2007 5:55 pm

I told my self I wouldn't be doing this, oh well. And its clean for now, be dirty in 2 days of sitting, guarenteed.

Other stuff to do, tomorrow will hopefully be installed Tension Rods (new Megan) and RUCAs (used Togue Factory), we'll see. Still have to replace driver's tail light as well, gotta go get some of that black 'goo'.

1. Got a place to fix my driver's door panel, no more screws holding it in.

2. Tint, 35% (that's what they said, looks a little darker) on the 4 side windows.

3. Seats, Z33 modified with custom brackets, fits pretty good, even with the thicker back panels. I need to lose a few pounds in the lower back area of the seat, but definately better than S13 stockers.

4. Silvia trunk w/ K's spoiler (w/ LED 3rd light). I like it, little different, but the rounded ends of this seem to fit with the popups better to me. New round Silvia trunk lock is in the mail from P2M now.

Looking good Biggie. Those Z33 seats look great. The Silvia K's spoiler is a nice touch also. Where'd you get it if you don't me asking?

Also can you take a side shot of your vert for me please? Thanks.

Thanks.[/quote]Friend was working at a place that brought in clips/engines/etc, they had it sitting around. Gave it to me for free, that on top of it already color match was the reason I decided to get it. If I would have to have paid much or had to paint it, it wouldn't be on there.

I'll try to remember to go get a side pic this week and post it in this topic.

More updates:

Could not get the back bolt out of the RUCAs and noticed I need new tie rod ends badly. So probably pay Nissan for those 2 things(assuming they will install the aftermarket RUCAs) and alignment in a couple weeks.

Think I lost a good 20lbs by sweating for a little over an hour today, I hate heat/humidity.

5. New Megan Tension Rods, $119 on enjuku

Nice touch on the spoiler and z33 seats. Spoiler is not wild or doesn't stands out, but it's subtle and unique. Might be the only s13 vert in the world with that spoiler. I can see that you put a lot of thought into this vert.

I have actually never seen a US car with the K's spoiler in person. Always seen them being sold and a few pics on some cars, but always liked it. It also gave me the excuse to buy the silvia trunk lock, cause I like having one on my coupe, looks a lot better than just the key lock being there.

Got to take a pic of the inside of the Silvia trunk as well, its covered in carpet. Its like VIP to me.

I have it on mine too, but it's a square one. Vert rear end is kinda boxy, so I figured square one would look better.

Yeah I have the square one on my coupe. But this trunk has that oval outline, so figured the square one wouldn't have covered it up completely. I'll have both versions of them now anyway.

As you requested:

And for reference the inside of the silvia trunk, oooooo... carpet:

And just cause I had the camera out, the lineup, although not a pretty setup pic:

I had to get this one after I saw your pic. Actually, I got it a couple of months ago.

Post by **biggie** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 5:00 am

Yeah, I had never seen them before I got that Silvia trunk lid. I think I'd seen some S14s with trunk carpet but not S13s.

Since it was brought back from the dead, noticed I never put the trunk lock pic up, so:

Very nice vert. I see many subtle mods. The rear fender has a nice roll on it. I have to agree with the spoiler choice.... nice and unique. Nice ride....

Very clean. Your fender pulls are perfect. What did you use to pull?

Post by **jamesblonde82** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 6:11 am

does the trunk carpet help with some of the trunk rattle from the subwoofer?

Local shop used a fender roller, just that and a heat gun and lots of time. The fronts need to be pulled a little now after settling.

Probably does help some, but between the tweeters and exhaust I don't hear much rattling.

What is the part number for the trunk liner and where did you buy it? I couldn't find it online. How much was it if you don't mind me asking. Thanks!
