I'm not in Mass, but I'm real close- Providence R.I. I just moved here and have a good bit of S13 knowledge crammed in my head. I wont be doing much all week- at least until school starts. If you want, call me at 401 533 7624

I'm more than happy to help with anything.

Post by **MagikDragon** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 6:18 pm

I'm from CT, but i go to school up in boston, Northeastern actually. I'll help ya out if I'm around, maybe some weekend Ray(frapjap) and I will come up and give a hand. What engine are you swapping in??

Post by **ventrex** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 6:42 pm

RB25DET or an SR20DET .... leaning toward the RB25DET..... i cant do it at all though im 16 years old... and ill help whatever i can do, i mean ill love to learn, i managed to do the silvia front end on my own and removal of the dashboard and interior stuff... nothing big.

Post by **frapjap** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 8:23 am

I have experience in the SR area, swapped KAE to KADE's and back again (theres a writeup I made in the Articles) and built a sohc to the gills, but the RB is limited knowledge to me.

I saw one in progress, but wasn't directly involved myself. Oh wait, its an RB25- I can help there, but it will be a learning process.

fab a remote turbo???

Post by **ventrex** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 4:54 am

do you guys know how to install a securtiy system and power door locks?

Post by **frapjap** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 10:36 am

I assume the security and door locks are not that hard. If you have the paper directions and hardware, as well as the directions for the alarm.

Yup, a remote turbo. Damn having money buring a hole in my pocket.

i dont get it whats a remote turbo?? i dont have directions for the power door locks, (vutony) is selling them and says its easy and when installing the alarm system to just throw them on...

Post by **frapjap** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 6:50 am

^ So long as the doors have mounting holes and easy access to run wiring to the lock.

A remote turbo is one that is under your car near the end of your exhaust vs. under hood. Sleeperish, very incognito.

Post by **ventrex** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 8:36 am

is that better? does it have the same results?

Post by **frapjap** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 9:25 am

Its more widely used on larger engines that would spool the turbo faster (v8's) but I'm not looking to boost a whole hell of a lot, so it may be cost effective enough for me to do.

Prosno need for an intercooler- gets cooled off under car

turbo wont get as hot

easier to access

ConsProbably need an extra oil pump

lots of pipe bending/fitting.

might knock it on the ground if the car is low.

Post by **ventrex** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 5:43 pm

oh.. lol so how could i possibly help with that?? well heres what i need to do...alarm system w/ power door locks.

silvia digital climate control (have all harnesses and stuff )

and the engine swap which im probally going to do december-febuary... thinking early december...

Post by **frapjap** » Fri Sep 01, 2006 4:21 am

Theres a damn good write up on here for exactly how to wire the digital climate control.

The alarm system...instructions would be nice, otherwise we may break something.

The engine swap is an easy issue to address.

my sister has a 1998 nissan maxima and she ceased her engine and needs just the motor replaced. I found a replacement engine but i can't put it in. Do you guys know how to do it? and how soon could u do it?

Post by **frapjap** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 2:49 am

If its a stock replacement its easy plug and play...so long as you have buckets or something for all the old fluids, and a cherry picker/engine hoist.

Post by **ventrex** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 4:24 am

would u do it free of charge? and if you tell me specifically what i need to get i will get it.... are those things expensive? and where could i get them.

also im sure i could find alot of buckets... and i checked autozone for a engine hoist, ill rent that one. If your willing to do it, we have someone else that will help with it... and ill try my best. just tell me everything needed i have a full socket set and alot of tools already. We need to ASAP so we can order the engine . Let me know... also my number is 781 630 1026

Post by **frapjap** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 4:12 am

^ sorry, I missed this one on my watched topics. I'm more than happy to help. Its not a big deal if its free work. maybe just a few beers or something would work. Post up in the Max section and see what you'dneed!

Post by **ventrex** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 4:40 am

its alright we got a shop to do it.... cuz there like family but they still charged a **** load.... i had to pay $1200 just to paint my car

Post by **frapjap** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 3:32 am

Thats not bad to get a car painted.. Did they do sanding prepwork and all?

Post by **ventrex** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:31 am

they did a bunch of crap... my front end conversion were "bum parts" apparently... so they had to strip everything down and bondo/bodywork/ sanded down the entire car... they fixed my exhaust the whole car was fixed smooth and painted. they fixed my steering wheel... my door locks. and removed the grey vinyl stripe that goes on the bottom and repalced it with a black one... i guess in the long run for all the work they did $1,200 isnt bad. its also high quality custom red paint.. i think its from a ferrari enzo. But im going to pick it up today so ill take pics, probally make a car domain finally.

Really, really clean car! So you're still waiting to do an engine though, huh? Get some low profile tires for that thing.

Nice neighborhood too! I noticed the nicely manicured lawn first, then I started looking up and said, "damn, thats a big house."

Anyone from MASS???
