Project "Guenhwyvar" CA18DET S13

[cjmirabal1]

great news....i dissasembled most of the front end to inspect the damage.

and to my surprise the parts of the frame that were trashed are unboltable! the frame actully only needs a nice wack of a mallet and a quick weld!

i got the new front end on stand by as well! so 2 weeks or so before she is back on the road!

and the new intercooler is on its way also

and did an alignment to fix the pulling

The car is back on the road!!! got a amazing deal on a 180sx front end and slapped it on after a good hammer/welder session with the frame

looks good and drives again!!!

the guy got off scott free and my insurance didnt cover anyof it cuz i didnt have collision. (now i do thou)

[splintercell]

Looks good, man. Get some wheels with a nice size and offset, and you'll be all set.

i have to agree. The car looks awesome now. I always like the chuki front better than the pignose.

EDIT: PAGE 5 woot woot

I got the actuators from Broadfield on the merchant section of the forums.....the install was a breeze! i didnt wire an in car switch thou, so locks only work

-PBM High mount intercooler
-s15 hlsd
-5 lug swap and wheels (xxr 527s for now)
-Nistune set up.

i havent dynoed it yet, im waiting to get the nistune so i can see wat my numbers are when im fully tuned

[cjmirabal1]

[PyR0NiAk]

Keep it up. Car looks good.

[OM3GA]

Looks great! Glad you got , i am pretty sure you do not want the breather on the PCV catch tank. That system is supposed to be sealed to work properly. I would put a vinyl cap on that bad boy.

Did u buy the pbm hmic kit or just the intercooler? I'm only asking cause I just got a ca and it didn't come with some of the piping, and I'm trying to avoid gettin a visible front mount.

No i havent purchased the kit yet but its on reserve for my at pbm.
The stock piping and smic for the ca is a total joke!
Pbm is the best bet for a sleeper intercooler...but you need yhe s13 core and s14
Piping for a closer fit.

[s13 Jrock]

Oh okay. Right on. I appreciate The help. Tryna get mine running already
