A few more pics...

Radiator Cooling Panel

I now have to tear the front end apart, and get the silvia front put on along w/ a few other things, but that could take a while

Anyone that has put the brick headlights in; do you need the harness for the brick headlights, or can am I able to use the stock popup harness? I am told it's plug and play, but don't know for sure. Thanks.

thanks for the comments...

Blah on the GS...... but at leasts its not an RS. LOL

Still looks good tho. Not to bad for the wifes daily.

+1 for her and her awesomeness.

-1 for my girl not wanting anything to do with my cars.

Plan on doing anything else to the a** end, or you just keeping the valances, not that im dissing those, just sort of looks incomplete.

Yeah, she got a good deal on it, and it's in really nice shap, so it works and she gets into the car scene, and for all my cars she hasn't even complained once

as for the rear, they never made anything else for the coupes/verts (OEM that is), just the valances. I had a 180sx rear valance kit which has a center section too, but that doesn't work w/ the coupes/verts...

I am currently putting the s13 silvia front end on, so maybe that will help, I know it's not in the back but make it flow a little better Either way, thanks for hte comments

Post by **Piper** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 6:19 pm

Still a 2G is a 2G no matter what way you look at it. But then again JDM > DSM any day. LOL

And yeah i think that a Sil front will make the car flow 100 times better than the flip ups. I love the look of a sil front on the verts.

Ps... what lip is that on your stock front end? That off a pig nose? Looks nice.

Post by **wafflez66** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 3:26 pm

^^^ Thank you, and yes it is a piggy lip^^^

Alright, so I got the silvia front end on the vert, and fixed/reran/rerouted my wiring...

front bumper is yet to be painted, and the fenders need LOTS of body work, but I like it....

Post by **Piper** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 2:19 am

Thats sick!!! How do you have so much free time and money to get your car looking like this so fast?

Ps.... can i haz your lip? lol If not, how did you get it to attach to your bumper? Email me about it...... [email protected]

well, I get up at 6 or 7 am and I work until I have to go into work at 9 am and then when I get out at 7pm I work until 10 or 11 pm...

As for the cash aspect, I have had most of the parts for a few years from a few different builds and got great deals on most parts....

as for the lip but I just attached w/ zipties to the lower bolt holes on the sides of the bumper and to the under side of the bumper where the "skid plate" goes...

Okay, so I've been prepping the SR and rebuilding it... here it is so far:

Apexi Headgasket (you can see the tag sticking out)ARP Headstuds & Exhaust manifold studsNismo Motor MountsMoroso Oil PanStainless Steel Exhaust ManifoldGarrett GT28RS TurboSplit Fire Coil PacksCustom Painted Pulleys and Valve CoverCarbon Fiber Cover

Also today, I dropped off the door panels and rear seats down to Fly Boyz Custom Upholstery to have them covered in fabric to match the R34 Seats.

Next I plan on taking the front end of the vert off along w/ the doors to make way for the coupe doors (pillarless), along w/ some cleaning up of the fenderwells, and then hopefully prepping the car for the manual swap, and possibly the engine swap (not sure if I want to attempt this before winter, as I would like to take this car to DROPTOBERFEST in Nanticoke, PA on October 17th)

Updates:

I took the coupe trunk (spoilerless) and painted it black and put the Origin Lip Spoiler on... it looks descent.

Am working on the coupe door swap at the moment, and still have to get the front fenders off before the doors come off...

Post by **Piper** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 12:30 am

That spoiler looks sick!!! Keep up the good work!!

Post by **wafflez66** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 6:27 pm

Yeah, so I started it... the motor is pretty much ready to come out, just have to take out 1 motor mount bolt, and 4 tranny mount bolts and she's ready to pull. :twisted:

Post by **krash** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 6:49 pm

danngg dude, you took this vert' and ran with it this build is awesome!

Post by **wafflez66** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 5:45 pm

Alright, so today:

I got the turbo all bolted on and all the lines run for that. I did find out that I need some clocking adapters for the intake/outlet on the turbo to put them in the right spot.

I also mounted up my Greddy FMIC, and it fit beautifully.

Also started welding in the patch panel over the old battery tray, and that is :?

also a pic from a couple weeks ago...

Holy long filter relocation kit batman. Car looks really good man. Cant wait to see it finished.

Post by **wafflez66** » Sun Nov 15, 2009 4:52 pm

The filter relocation I took off the s14 which I had to mount on the opposite side by the exhaust manifold b/c I had too much stuff on the intake mani side, and I also plan on cutting it about half way for an oil cooler setup I have lying around...

I'm eager to get it back toget too, but I haven't touched it in a month

I'm contemplating tubbing out the front wheel wells, and I am trying to cut the new carpet to fit etc... so It'll be coming along eventually...

Post by **Future_gohan** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 7:59 pm

I wanna see some pics of this with the top down and the sil front. Mine is going to be black with a silfront and was trying to get an idea of how it'll turn out. thanks ;]

Post by **nick.** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 8:38 pm

Wow, that's some good progress man. Your car looks awesome, it must be so nice to have a droptop to cruise around in.

I wanted to ask, where did you get those rear valences? What are they called exactly? I'd like to pick a set up for my car too.

Post by **wafflez66** » Wed Nov 25, 2009 2:43 pm

All aero on the car is stock from a coupe in Japan; that had the aero kit of course.

ps Just picked up another s14 momo wheel. I say another b/c I had one in my s14, but sold it but finally found another

Post by **the vert** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 5:26 pm

Love the steering wheel Kind of reminds me of my S15 steering wheel.
