[Shift_Oversteer]

ahhh the joy of the build.. one of the best parts about owning a car

[Young_240_Guht]

Very nice work, I think i wanna go with the rectangular headlights of the silvia, But thos projectors look cool even when theyre on. i thought i made up my mind, but i guess ill really find out when i find the right deal.

Just wondering, what size and pitch are the lugs, and i read you pressed new ones on? i got some Lock lugs, but dont kno if i got the right ones... i might sell the ka while im still ahead on it hahah,

[sttp01]

Good work! Car is looking great. Are you doing a KA-DET?

Hows the VR4 doing? Ever get that fuel tank you were looking for?

[tokyo_x-treme_racer]

I love threads like these, very nice. Keep us updated.

[HashiriyaS14]

lol, sonofab*tch.

Everyone seems to have connections with paint but me.

Anyway, looks fantastic.

[GhostDriver]

Wow.

Looks like everything is going good. It sure looks that way.

Good luck with the rest.

Yeah I will proably do a KA-T, maybe a high compression KA-T if I'm daring. Other then that no progress on the S13 till this coming weekend.

I got the fuel tank for the VR4 installed a while ago along with some goodies. I didn't get a chance to install my big 16g on it because I'm hitting fuel cut at 5500rpm after I took off my emissions. So I have to figure that out before I install my SAFC, injectors, 16g, and get a chip burn for the injectors for my eprom ecu.

Sweet car! I would have kept the tear drop rims and gone with a set of Tein Flex Coilovers for a nice drop. Tear drops + Silvia front = TEH WIN!!!

[LiteraryCannon]

Any updates on this great project brotha man?

[whalesalad]

More pix more pix!!!

[574-240sx]

No updates on the S13, I have been busy with the S14. Pretty sure I'm not going to do another KA-T, I'm looking for a LS1/2/6 right now. Then I'm going to run megasquirt, that I have had since last year.

[FSUDrifter]

I'm just curious why you put all that effort into the silvia front end and paint if it's just going to be a track car... resale? money not an issue?

Weld on Adjuster Kit for Front Control Arms

I'm curious as to what this is. Info? Pics?

I just want a fun car that I can beat the piss out of reliably. I need a track car that won't break so I'm using good parts and I don't want something that looks totally beat while doing it. I did have had a regular car that I went to driftdays with every month and seems like when I came back home I was fixing a replacing things all the time. Paint didn't cost that much and I plan on messing the car up. I also pieced my silvia front end together for less then $500 so if I mess it up I will upgrade it. So I figured I would take a year off and build something.

I have been slacking lately but got some work done on the S13. I put on the coilovers, spl t/c rods, front 5 lug, long studs pressed in, SPL Tie rod ends, Z32 tie rod inners, SPL tie rod spacers, TC rod bar deal, painted the brembo rotors hats because rust was just starting to form on them. I still need to paint the Z32 front calipers but it started to rain and I didn't want to spend an hour+ in between coats even with the heat lamp on them. I haven't put in the weld in LCA kit yet, I will on the old LCA I just took out and swap them in at a later time. Here are some pics with the G35 rims in some pics.





no the rims aren't bolted down, just hanging
