I like the black manifold came out clean 8/10 for now

[rotorimp]

Thanks I had the vavle covers/ intake powder coated wrinkle black--It looks alot better in person.

[WI_S14_Goldie]

what kind of progress did you make today? those pics are 2.5 years old lol

[rotorimp]

THe camera's date is not set--I saw that after it was posted. THis weekend I was working on a run of s13 strut tie bars.

zer...age=1

The most invasive thing I did was fix the crank collar problem-- also replaced the usual oil pan,h2o pump, timing belt all seals new clutch

Next week I want to start working on the down pipe.

How durable or chip resistant is that wrinkle coat powder coating? My valve covers are just standard auto paint and doesn't like the heat.

[blurrbosi]

Crinkle Coating is the most durable if you apply it right. I like using a heat gun to speed up the drying process. I have to get a shot of my bay on here. Ther whole thing is crinkle coated.!

[rotorimp]

I took the pieces to a powdercoater (65$) I wanted to to look factory, They bead blast the parts to make the coating stick better. It doesn't chip. I have done this with a few of my other motors and never had a problem.

Looks great Jason, I finally fired mine up for the first time Sat evening

[rotorimp]

Congrats!!!!!!! I would like to know someday how it feels to have a running RB LOL

[lxmobxl2]

nice progress keep us posted

[rotorimp]

I havn't made allot of progress on the RB install because I have been making strut tie bars and heat shields. What do you guys think?

[chicos240]

Those are very nice, well done man.

[JPsNissans]

Aww man, you got hooks! I have to wrap around my motor with a big *** strap on a come-along and hope it doesnt tip backward and kill someone.

[OlyDriftSquad]

when you did the mounts did you moved the engine back far enough to run the clutch fan?

[Bwana]

Looks great man. I like that fstb, it's almost as cool as the one you made for Greg .

One of these days I'll actually post some pics of my engine bay... lol

[rotorimp]

I made a 1" indention in the firewall by the starter and set the motor as far back and as low in the chassis as I could--I left about 3/8" clearance. I have had my griffin radiator with FAL fans in with about 1/4" to spare.

[duffman1278]

Looks good, keep the pics coming

[mello88]

Damn, I'm jealous. Motor looks great, congrats on the progress...

[HxC_Nismo]
