Classic Nissan Drifters?

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Mon Jan 05, 2004 10:59 am

we were really bored at work the other day, so me and the parts guy here at Classic Nissan in Orlando decided to take some pictures... we've got 2 s13's, an aw11 MR2, and an ae86. not too shabby! haha:D too bad only the corolla was there when we took the pictures...

here's afew new pics of my car... now that its lowered, and I hope to take pictures tomorrow of the new seats I've installed:)

I have 2 and they are now installed with brackets that took about 8 hours to cut, weld, and fit properly... oh well, they were dirt cheap, and are pretty nice:)

thank you:) It's a Nissan Motorsports lip that was unfortunatly discontinued afew years ago... I managed to grab the last one(!!!) in the Nissan North American inventory afew months ago... I got it at work (Nissan) for about $160. List is about $220, and it is actually made by Xenon for Nissan Motorsports. You might try searching for a xenon lip from some place who sells their products.

No I don't, but I'll be glad to take some when I get around to taking pictures of the seats installed. I managed to make brackets that bolt to stock mounting points(with LOTS of help from my girlfriend's dad, who is a damn good welder/fabricator I might add:)) We spent all afternoon Saturday making the passenger bracket, and alot of Sunday morning doing the driver one. In the end, it was well worth it, because these racing seats are pimp:D

nice, how are the S tech springs?

Post by **BomexS13** » Mon Jan 05, 2004 10:59 am

those are S tech springs? Sits pretty low, looks nice:)

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Mon Jan 05, 2004 10:59 am

the s-techs are nice:) the other S13 at work has the same struts (KYB GR-2's) with the Tanabe Orange Springs (Super Down maybe?) and his sits almost exactly at the same height as mine.

The Tein's are slightly softer, but since I don't race and I rarely do anything that requires crazy suspension, I like the extra cushion! I'm very happy with them so far...

Hello,

Those black mesh spoke wheels are a nice touch! I like the "old school cool" look that it brings to the car. I can't decide if the Canadian day time running lights would go good with your ride because the stock "mini grills" go well with the black front lip......

In any case, I was curious about your hood. Have you messed with the alignment at all because it seems that you have a fairly wide gap between the front of the hood and the bumper.

No offense given, my hood was screwed up when I took possesion of the car and I have tried my hardest to get it to line up, but to no avail. I even bought new hood hinges from the junkyward and it still seems to sit a little crooked!!! I don't know if your hood is a prime example of how it is supposed to sit or not!!

My hood is fu<ked... thank you to the old lady in a taurus who stopped in the middle of the intersection in the rain! WOOOOOOOT!

But luckily I went under her bumper and only damaged the bumper alignment, and the driver side headlight. The thing with my hood gap is that the bumper is slightly lower on the driver's side, the hood itself lines up perfectly. Dunno about your issues though:)

I like the canadian lights, but I have foglights behind my mini grilles and it looks bada$s, so I think I'll keep it that way:D

Oh what? Foglights behind the mini-grills? I just might have to steal that idea and claim it as my own!!!!

old pictures (and horrible quality), but shows the idea none-the-less:)

newer one, but during the daytime:

That's hot. I too like the old school look your car presents.

sweet car man, who made those seats btw?

on a sidenote, going on the thread title, I thought you were asking who drifted the old Z cars and 510's for some reason, or perhaps a fair lady roadster, that'd be funny to watch:D

thanks:) the seats are the same as these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33701 and I got them from this guy too... shipping took over 3 months so I kinda thought he screwed me over, but they showed up right before christmas! oh well... can't beat $100 seats:D

LOL, I figured some people would think that... The Nissan dealership in Orlando (where I work) is called "Classic Nissan"

be sure to jump around and thoroughly give those seats some hell!:D I wanna know how well they're built, not that I want you to break your seats, but I've thought about getting some for my T bird because it's hard to find replacement 6 way powers and I need some decent supportive non broken seats for auto x season.
