Badbob's New Project Build ~ SR20det GT2871 ~ More Updates

[badbob2121]

well i picked up some subframe collars, powered by max... easy install and made a huge difference (a lil more noise tho)



added some blue led's to the cluster, turned out great, and actually is easy on the eyes while driving at night




and another random pic...

Do those collars stiffen up the ride?

[badbob2121]

Do those collars stiffen up the ride?

yes they make the subframe more rigid, but still streetable compared to new bushings...and ALOT easier to install

[truckmtr240]

Well I might have to pick some up. I have been told that the car is really loose feeling. Where did you get yours?

[badbob2121]

powered by max- $50 ... but i picked them up from thier US store

[badbob2121]

so i finally ordered a weapon r coolant reservoir tank... got tired of that cracked, brittle, and duck taped POS oem tank...
old


new

[badbob2121]

well i got bored and shot a couple pics of the dd (family mobile)....

[venom90s]

you should post some pics of the overflow tank

[badbob2121]

^^^ i will, im going to flush/bleed my coolant too.... ill post pics up....

we hooked the sr to my buddies nistune conult and it was hitting a little high temp too fast, so im gonna change my coolant ratio and add some water wetter ftw...lol

[venom90s]

hopefully that will solve your problem
good luck

[badbob2121]

ya, its not really a problem, no overheating... and it wasnt putting any codes....

i just run a consult often to prevent problems, so i dont have to solve them later

[truckmtr240]

I saw your car in the superstreet nissan issue. looking good!

[S13AL]

I just saw it too.
Congrats on making Readers rides!

[badbob2121]

well i flused my coolant today because i wanted to properly add watter wetter to the mix.......simple but i know how everyone love pics


my coolant





draining away





my new coolant reservoir (weapon r has perfect fitment fyi)







well my new exhaust is on the way, so i will have of that on the car the day it gets in

and the top fuel is f/s fyi - pm if your interested in it for cheap..... should be here in the next few days

[mike xtreme]

great project u have there...the progress of the car is done proper and neat! perhaps ur next stage will be skirts and slam the car lower ??

[venom90s]

the coolant reservoir looks great. what's the the hose on the top right for?

[splintercell]

it def looks great. i saw the same reservoir in a TI finish the other day too.
you cant go wrong with water wetter...i believe in that stuff

[JoseBronx]

as soon as I get a silvia front end Im painting my car...

looks nice op, just get the koiki tails

[badbob2121]

thanks everyone for the love ^^^^

for JoseBronx - i would LOVE to buy a set of kouki's... but its still hard to justify 500bucks for tail lights... as sexy as they are, i have other priorities....

for venom90s - the hose i think your talking about the the coolant reservoir overflow tube/breather. ( pretty much if your retarded and put WAY too much coolant in your system. this makes it so you will only loose the coolany your car cant handle, instead of blowing a hose and loosing it all ----kabooom)

[venom90s]

oh ok that makes sense. its a pretty cool feature

[badbob2121]

ya i highly suggest the weapon r, i got it for $82 shipped directly from weapon r. im %100 staisfied with the buy

[venom90s]

yea i definitely a must get one cuz the mine has a bunch of cracks in it, but i think i'll get one in the titanium finish

[badbob2121]

Well another update>>>

got my isis dual tip straight pipe in - thanks for the hook up scotch








and then mounted







overall the exhaust is great, IT IS LOUD!!!!!!!

but sounds good, a little on the raspy side but sounds so aggressive and scares the hell out of people

[S13AL]

looks nice.. Hope the 5-0 doesn't bother you about it.

[badbob2121]

huh?

[barefoot mat]

he means police.

just ordered my PBM collars last week.

[badbob2121]

the collars are a breeze to install.... and make a big difference... kinda noisy though

but this isnt my daily driver and i ussually dont drive like an a** everywhere i go in it...lol

[badbob2121]

well i recently have been having inconsistent starting problems... i could here the starter turning slowly and after a jump it would start and stay running...

i would get another 10-20 starts out of it then the problem would return, but be worse and then a jump wouldnt start it...

so it turns out my battery had a dead cell... so i went to good ole kragen/o'reily auto parts and picked up a new batter with a higher cranking amps.. for a great price and has 3 year warranty... cant beat it

i also tested my alt/starter..they are perfectly fine...

i also moved by battery relocation box to a better more secure spot...

kinda boring update i know...





next plans are to take off my front bumper and fix the lip sag... i already have everything i need to do it...now i just need the time...

[splintercell]

throw a 4ga ground on the starter ground to shock tower...helps with startup.

[bersh240]

dont you get all kinds of fun fumes in your car from having a wet cell battery in a non sealed container?
