[hpballer76]

thanks guys! and so far so good on the ebay kit. i havent had any problems with it

[sr20power]

Looking good! The wheels don't look that bad.

[hpballer76]

thanks. alright well ive been looking at a couple turbos and need your opinions. im looking to make around 350whp. the turbos im looking at is a gt2871r .64 thats suppose to only have a few miles on it for 500. or a greddy 18g 8cm for 350 that has been rebuilt with about 9k miles on it. i now the 2871 will make the power but i dont know much about the greddy. let me know what you think

[sil80_chris]

how come your rear center tail light piece doesn't say 240sx??

[Gabes13]

[hpballer76]

and as for the tail light section that is because it is a base model

looks like what my cars going to look like in a couple months. hopefully.

[hpballer76]

thanks guys.. well im pretty sure im going to be picking up the gt2871r so im wondering if i need to pick up an oil restrictor to run this turbo? i have circuit sports oil and coolant lines.

[hpballer76]

well i just got to c a pic of what i am being told is a gt2871r but it appers to be an s15 turbo to me. here is the pic.



can anyone confirm if this is an s15 turbo or in fact a gt2871r?

Update 8/14/09

Well as you guys saw when I got the car the back seat and carpet was gone. So I finished stripping the back half of the car.

When I first started chipping away sound deadening. (that was a pain in the a** to get off)







Then wire wheeled the rest off





Then primed and painted





(its all painted now, just don’t have pics)

And a few pics from the last street wise event

[hpballer76]

Finally picked up some bucket seats! They are f1 spec type 4. they came with a drivers side buddy club rail, still need to get a rail for the passenger side. One seat is new and I was told the other was used for 2 months which I believe since the are both in excellent shape! On to the pics





Drivers side installed

Your build is coming along so nicely. Keep it up man

[King Ranzo]

Nice build. I wish my piggy was that clean. Keep us posted

[s13 iDRIFT]

really clean, i want some of those rotas!

but nice build, keep up the awesome work!

[hpballer76]

thanks! i will for sure keep you guys posted.

alright guys i need your opinions. I’m doing a 4 point roll bar with door bars and cant decide what color i want to paint it. I’ve been thinking about just doing it white but I’ve also considered silver or gold. so let me know what you think and it doesn’t have to be between those three, if you think another color would look good let me know and i will consider it.

[ZootedS13]

wow this is comming along quite nicely.

do you notice a noise difference when driving around since u removed the sound deadening material?

[hpballer76]

well i figure its about time i update this, so here we go.

i’ve been working on making the interior somewhat decent.

this is what i started with

ugly blue interior, cracked dash, and holes in the carpet...



then took out the dash. drove around like this for about a week lol



then i went to china for 3 weeks but before i left i dropped my car off to have a mazworx roll bar welded in so when i got home i had this.



then primed and painted.



then picked up some carpet that was real dirty but in good shape and used autozone vinyl and carpet paint to make it nice! lol

before

and after one coat. (ended up doing two coats to make it nice and black)



and swapped the cluster lights for some blue led’s

also painted my blue door panels and a piler trim with black trim paint which came out great. and picked up a black uncracked dash. and started putting it all back together.





and a sweet pic thanks to kristin from the last event!

[justinedible4]

nice build man!just read through it over on zilvia and saw you drift at some streetwise this past summer

[dak0n]

Lol there was a few moments in there, where i thought i was lookin at my motor lol, but I also did the s14 sr in my s13, it was a pain in the a**, but i loved it in the end, much dif from a s13 sr20. Check out my build up:zer...age=1as of now im building it over the winter, and putting it in my white 180sx

[super240sx7185]

thank you ^^

and as for the tail light section that is because it is a base model

No it's because its painted. If you sand it down you will see the original red with the 240sx on it.

[hpballer76]

No it's because its painted. If you sand it down you will see the original red with the 240sx on it.
