Car: s13 sil80 with rb25

Post

Hi guys, I have a uk s13, (240sx as you may know it). I bought it stock 2 years ago and have tinkered since, I have put a ps13 front end on it, converting it to a sil80. Also i Fitted a rebuilt rb25det motor. At the min im building a megasquirt engine management system for it. hoping to see big power :D

Oh i have also welded my diff, great fun!

heres a few pics!

not bad. engine bay makes up for the minor things on the outside. but, it DOES need to be lower. yucky 4x4

some rear valances would look nice too.

Yea gonna paint it as soon as funds allow, it has coilovers on it, and its very low (although it doesnt look like it in the pics) i ground out on speed humps all the time!

this is a budget car built from second hand bits. thought you guys might like to see something from the uk thats all. its a working progress and i dont appreciate it being ripped to shreds,

the silvia front end i got from a BDC drift car, and im in the process of restoring it.

I dont think its very low, if you actually go over speedbumps.

Its not low if your front bumper dosnt hit the speed bump first and get stuck with the rear wheels off the ground while your on top of it.

Seeing how majority of the people on this board are running generally stock 240's, I believe you already have +1 up on them.

Half of the people on here also have atleast 2 different colors on their car as well.

Clean swap.

very clean, although a greddy manifold would look way better. front cover, cam covers, and manifold (greddy) wrinkle red. nismo status.

It may have been another forum, but wasn't there a thread about this happening a few weeks ago? lol

cheers guys great input. dunno if you noticed but the cam covers are wrinkle red. wanna keep the stock intake, as everybody does the greddy one with clear or carbon bits attached, wanna be a bit diferent.

contemplating re-shelling the car into another s13 with a bit less rust., if i dont future plans are wider rear fenders, and colour code the body. i have an r32 gtr rear spoiler fitted now. I also have some rota boost wheels that need painting and fitting. its never ending lol!
