My S13 hatch w/ RB25 swap (Update: New Wheels!)

[ShadowsFa11]

My dad bought this 240sx when I was about 12 and handed it over to me when I turned 15. I am 19 now and decided to go with an RB25 swap. All the work was done at JJspec in Macon, GA. While it was being worked on I acquired some parts I needed for the swap.

Stock:


Right before the swap. Took off spoiler and lowered on Eibachs:


Mckinney Engine Mounts:


Isis Radiator and Hoses:


Aluminum Driveshaft:


Isis Exhaust:


Ebay Downpipe:


Day after the swap:


RB25DET:


Just ordered some Megan Racing Street Coilovers yesterday, but they are back ordered for 2 weeks.

I still need to figured out how to get the R33 gauge cluster to work.

I'll have some interior shots up another day, but for tonight... it's time to get shwasted!

[FinkenS14]

Ebay downpipe? Did you have to modify the flange at all?

Im selling my 4" exhaust for just a basic set up like yours and was wondering if theres any options to the downpipe other then buying the McKinney crap.

[ShadowsFa11]

Nope. Bolted right up.

[some_white_guy]

Yeah I've seen some guys on here slammed on Megans. I'll take some photos when I get some wheels.

[ShadowsFa11]

Rota P45r
17x9 +12

[FolkertSX]

great wheel choice! paint em white

[ShadowsFa11]

I was thinking about painting my car white and leaving the wheels.

[badbob2121]

more pics of the wheels!!!! what tire size? any spacers?

[ShadowsFa11]

I'll get some more photos of the wheels tomorrow.

No spacers.
17x9 +12
235/40 all the way around. Bf Goodwrench Gforce

I should have got 225/40 in the front I think. The front wheels also stick out too much for my liking. I guess im going to put a little more camber on front wheels and try to tuck them in. And I want to do a slight pull on the back fenders.

[chaos2000]

Nice setup man, i was, and still am, going to get the p45r's in bronze, there are sex!!!

[FolkertSX]

sooo many people have p45rs. not that im saying i was one of the first. im thinking about doing mine metalic black with maybe some colored flake in it. idk yet though

[ShadowsFa11]

^ That would look nice.
P45r's are a good 4-lug option if your on a budget and looking for an agressive stance

[ShadowsFa11]

More pictures as requested

Damn shadows...

[laxands13]

They look great! what part of georgia are you in by the way?

[ShadowsFa11]

Thanks!
And I am in Warner Robins.. About 30 mins south of Macon.

[supersayianjim]

awesome build. welcome rb brother(i have a 20) so who did youre wiring harness?? and did youre motorset come with a rb fuel pump?? how do you like the wahl so far???

[ShadowsFa11]

Thanks man. JJSpec did the wiring. Motorset did not come with a fuel pump so I was running on the stock one for a little while till I picked up the Walbro. Love it!

[ShadowsFa11]

Heres how it sits as of now :



I took this a few days before I gutted it.

Plans:

-Exhaust needs to be rewelded and tucked up under the frame more.
-Battery relocation
-FMIC very soon
-Remove all sound deadening
-Pull rear fenders just a tad to lower a little more
-Electronic Boost controller- Any recommendations?
-Various gauges


I will be sure to keep everyone updated.
