Have been with little to no internet access for going on 3 months. Figured I would post an update, Car is back in runnig conditon and is running very well. Had my blown tein coilover rebuilt, replaced my welded diff with a 300zx LSD, did some major cleaning, Rewired and reran the entire wiring harness, replaced all the vaccum and fuel lines, Relocated the batt, Got a wideband and new boost gauge and made a slick little in dash cluster, made some nice strong mounts the the FMIC and the rad, previous ones were made out of like an aluminum can haha. cleaned up the bay a lot, tucked everything away. still working and lots more to do!!


RB20det swapped s13
Well after having the car for about a month I finally got to go home from NY to PA to start working on her.
Basically I bought the car already swapped but once you see it you’ll notice that the swap was the ONLY thing done and a pretty half a** job at that. TONS of wiring issues, lots of short cuts, and general carelessness is pretty much what I am working on now. The motor runs very well, pulls hard, and has now issues besides the coil packs :frown: which will be replaced with LS2 within the next month or so.

My goals right now are fixing major issues (wiring, blown coilover, replace welded diff with LSD, general clean up) as well as RUCAs, Rear toe arms, 300zx front brakes, fixing the lug nut that broke off on the wheel stud FML that’s going to be an awesome pain in my balls.
Overall I just want to make her mine!!

On too the pics!!
