Jesse... too hard to say what houses go for around here.. so many new houses. You can find anything from $150k to $500k.

Adam... thx for the good comments =)

I bought my rollcage from a friend here in Vegas that ships over stuff in containers from Japan. Sometimes he uses a company called Mach 5 out of northern cali... I dont know their exact name or adress but I think you might be able to get the cage from them. The only problem I have with this cage is that it is designed for a right hand drive car. The cage fits snugger on the right hand side and extends out a little bit on our driver side. Other than that it is awsome, chromoly, leightweight =) Very easy install. Unfortunatly it does not come with a cross member on the loop behind the drivers seat. The Cusco cage is not as safe as the Autopower but it is lighter and is easier to get in and out of.

Seat brackets are easy to find.. I got Sparco brackets and steel side mounts, havent driven the car yet but it feels real good sitting in the seat.

Hey where did you get the Sparco brackets and side mounts from? I am having trouble finding a co. who has them in stock. I searched rollhard and didnt find a section where you were selling them.

Jesse, how much do the Sparco mounts/sliders for an S13 cost?

Also, you mentioned the side mount brackes...those don't allow for any adjustability though, right?

Thx.

Email , we dont like to post prices on the board.

Side mount brackets are used for side mount seats. Ex: Evo, Evo2, Rev, etc. You can tell buy checking the side of your seat to see if there are any thread holes. The adjustability comes with purchasing the sliders (although some have used the stock sliders).

Hey Jesse how difficult is it to custom install these using stock everything?

And also did you need to purchase the seat base (custom brackets) or did you use the stock ones?

Thanks

Sparco seat, Seat Bracket, and Slider.

Sparco sells the hardware package seperate for another like 25 bucks...all the screws and stuff...i figured i'd go without it, and get stuff from home depot, Little did i know at that time that home depot does NOT sell any metric size bolts or nuts...so i had to use oversized american bolts, and force them in there, lol....if you have a place that sells metric stuff, thats great, otherwise, the 25 bux for hardware might be worth it, although expensive

Post by **Silviagirl79** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

What type of seats do you have installed. See I bought Rev seats ..they were side mount.

And why the heck wouldnt they include the hardware? Thats ridiculous.

dude looks nice...how much did you get your gtn's for????.....i cant find them for less than $2000

Nils, I love your intercooler piping a lot. I have a R34 GT-R V Spec II intercooler and it will be plumbed with custom piping, like yours.

Though, I gotta ask you. Your custom piping seems very long, do you think this will be a problem? Mine will be just as long as yours when it is completed.

Are you using aluminum piping or steel?

Also, I realied that your BOV is mounted close to the Throttle body. I know it is better to mount closer to avoid oil damage and faster response because as soon as the throttle is shut, the excess pressure gets released almost instantly. Nice.

kinda off the subject a bitI was wondering what the offset and size of your rims were?send me an e-mail if you canthanks~Joe~

Post by **NEED4BOOST** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

looking good Nils!

Post by **Nils** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

sorry guys.. I forgot to add the offsets to the rims.

Front: 17 x 8 offset +44

Back: 17 x 10 offset +41

That is all the info I got from the Volk labels inside the rims.

You need 5mm spacers in the rear & 15mm spacer infront to fit these rims. I also have coilovers a do not know if the regular suspension will clear the rims.

Post by **Silviagirl79** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

What are you going to do about the front bumper? Which front bumper are you using? And are you going to cut it yourself? With what tool?

Post by **Nils** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:01 am

Tony - I'll try to get some better pics of the rims....already got the car running so I can now take pictures outside my garage =)

Silviagirl79 - I cut my stock front bumper cover with a dremel to fit the IC.... I am not getting a bodykit since this is not a show car, it will be raced and bodywork will be dinged up fairly often.
