I took the reinforcement out.

That makes the front end look terrible.That part doesn't have anything to do with the bumper actually.

There are brackets that you bolt the bumper to, up top by the radiator. the brackets are old and breaking, so it's drooping now...

Post by **BrianHarte** » Wed May 13, 2009 12:23 pm

Suspension, seats, paintjob, exterior mods.That's all you need.

that is a fine color. unique. also, are you going to put the nissan emblem on the bumper? it bothers me that i can see where it goes, but it is not there. haha.

PS what is up with those license plates? are they personal plates or something? heh.

Post by **BrianHarte** » Wed May 13, 2009 2:39 pm

oh , well if an exhaust is a motor mod, then yes, i have a modified engine.

I probably gained like 3 horsepower!!!

they are olympic plates.

i have to source a nissan emblem

I removed mine as well.

B, do you happen to have the part that the upper edge of the front bumper cover attaches to? It's an angled piece that runs along the leading edge of the hood...

Thought I had a pic of it, can't find it. I've seen it on SOME S13's, not all. Weird.

Same, gives me bumper sag because the reinforcement + foam makes the bumper "straight" if it makes any sense. Doesn't make me lose sleep at night though.

car looks good bro. cant wait to see it with the advans...

Post by **SolaraOnBronze** » Wed May 13, 2009 4:17 pm

Paint color looks clean, I can dig it... You may have answered this before, but what are you rocking for headlights? They look really clear... Id love to make mine look a little newer like that.

Post by **BrianHarte** » Wed May 13, 2009 4:54 pm

They are some kind of H4 doodads. Not really sure. Gonna hook up some China HIDs.

thinking about getting different wheels. If so, Advans are up for sale when I get them.

Greg - not sure. I MIGHT..... i sont know much about 13s lol

Post by **ViolentRunning13** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:10 pm

What wheels are you thinking about?

What coilovers are you running?

Post by **Koshin** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:12 pm

B, I like the Advans bro....

Post by **White Comet** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:13 pm

i look forward to seeing the new wheels that are planned. i may not be a fan of the color and whatnot, but the aero is awesome of course, i do however think its not bh low but who am i to talk.

i do want to ask though. how does drifting the s13 compare to the s14? i don't remember the complete mod list of the s14 so i don't know which was more modified, just looking for your thoughts and insights on it.

Post by **BrianHarte** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:34 pm

ZEAL Function D.

car probably isn't going much lower. I made it a point to create this car to be more "every day friendly" ...no body kit, no bright paint, not many stickers, etc.

Post by **BrianHarte** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:37 pm

S13 vs. S14.

Both cars were VERY similar as far as mods.

Stock engine.exhaust.same size wheels and tiresLSDall the suspension arms and a cage.

Very similar setups in the cars.

I drifted the 14 many many times. I drifted the 13 ONCE so far.

the 13 felt faster. it took me maybe 3 runs to get used to it, but I like it. I still need to get used to how the car reacts to everything. I knew where the 14 would go everytime. I could put it close to the barrier time after time, but this new car, I just don't know about it yet. I need practice.

I think i cooked the engine when I drifted it last time, but I'm not 100% sure.

You should provide us with a list of suspension work you had in the S14 and the new car, please

Post by **Koshin** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:39 pm

how do you like the ZEALs?? they arent very common around here...I saw a used set once and didnt buy them, should have though

Post by **White Comet** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:41 pm

ahh that makes sense, im sure after you familiarize yourself it'll be a whole different game. according to keichi tsuchiya the s14 is easier to drift, but i'd have no idea.

I like the Zeals.

It's all I have ever run on my drift cars.

No complaints.

Keichi sucks at drifting.

Post by **Koshin** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:48 pm

dang, you had ZEALs on both youre cars...a$$hole, lol

I like how you use a KA motor and have completely baller suspension components...hats off to you, for doing things the right way for sure

do the solid diff bushings make a huge difference?? I dont know how street friendly they are thats why I ask...

Post by **BrianHarte** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:50 pm

mmmm, I don't know. I got the car with the solid bushings in the diff, so I don't know.

Post by **Koshin** » Wed May 13, 2009 5:55 pm

Ive heard guys make references to them not being the greatest thing for a street car, but I have no experience with them...my car is on coils and has a 2-way in it now....so I dont know how much worse it could get, lol

just wanted a opinon?? other than the diff bushings and coil setup, very similar equipment on both cars...which do you prefer?? but you may not have drifted the s13 yet...dont know
