My S13 RB powered Silvia (repost from the rb section)

[the_garynator]

Here's a repost of my post in the rb section, people were askin' so I figured I'd post it somewhere where people actually look:

Figured I'd introduce myself and my car after a couple of years of lurking.

I currently own two 240's. Here's my rb powered one:

Here are some videos of the turd:http://www.youtube.com/thegarynator



























She used to look nice, but now she's pretty banged up, she met a wall while autoxing...front fenders and hood are a total loss as well as the rear passenger quarter panel. It's not really worth fixin so for the time being I'll run it the way it is and I'll just pick up a new chassis down the road.



Here are some shots of the engine. Unfortunately it was kinda dirty when these were taken, so the pictures really don't do it justice. Also, the wiring will be cleaned up this winter.

A couple more of the engine:

[gregfarz78]

[gtc_240sx]

[noobdrftr]

I've been thinking RB lately too...I don't understand why the RB20 is the red headed step child of the RB family though I could pick one up pretty cheap and build it easily for 300+ whp

[PHeller]

Explain the whole "hit a wall while Autocrossing" thing...I always thought would be kind of hard to do...but then most of the events I've been at are huge empty parking lots.

[Kalypso]

love the thread title.. but sportmaxx are still lame

its time to step it up.

[xrproto07]

Dang im also lovin the intake mani....aren't those hard to come by for rb20's?

[georgegto]

Why many says sportmax are lame? I think they are classic for s13's now days...

[Disrupter911]

dude I consider 962's as like the upgraded stock rims, thats next on my list

[the_garynator]

Yeah, I love the sportmax's too, but I eventually want to upgrade to some Work rims. But I have more important things to worry about like a chassis at the moment lol.

Oh, BTW, I picked up another RB20 last night. I plan on rippin' it down and rebuilding it. I'll post more details when I have more time.

It was an autox at WIR (oval track with figure 8 in the middle)...I came out of a slalom in the figure 8 into the banked corner sideways haulin' a** and I think the diff unlocked and it threw me the other way...I was headed straight for the wall but luckily I let off the brakes right before I hit and cranked the wheel...hit it at an angle and minimized the damage.

'the_garynator' do you have any spacers on those 03' spec v rims on your daily driver if so what size.

[Eikon]

Gary,

I'm surprised I haven't had the chance to meet you yet... being that we live so close.

We're having a local meet on May 30 at Ashwaubamay park off Broadway in Green Bay.. 10 to 3.

Nice car!!!

no spacers, but i'd like to get some...they're a bit sunken in, but not that bad.

[240sx_s13_902]

yeah i agree they dont look bad at all, mine are on order, and i was wondering if i needed spacersm everyone says there going to be sunken in because of the offset but yours look fine to me cant wait to fit them on.
