[ibspoolinyoubdroolin]

bought a s13 just the other day. it has s14 sr20 with a smic, five lug conversion z32 brakes and suspension and wheels. And a silvia front end. The only things that work in the dash are the tach, hud, gas gauge, oil pressure warning light and it does not illuminate when i turn on the lights =(

its deffinately a project. but its awesome haha

Welcome, good luck with the carr and have fun. Just remember, no matter how frustrating things get just stick with it, its always worth it in the end. IMO

Wiring is actually alot easier than people think I ended up wiring my sr20 swap and pulling EVERYTHING that had to do with my automatic along with wiring my gauges up by just using the JDM and USDM FSMs used on this site. And i had hardly any wiring experience before. The FSMs are a life saver once you get used to them.

Good luck with the car.

car looks good man, if you dont mind me asking. how much did you pay for it?

[ibspoolinyoubdroolin]

i paid 3000. i still think its alot. but ohwell

[Silvia-Tom]

Looking neat, paint seems to be good too. Any rust?

[LOVERboy]

i paid 3000. i still think its alot. but ohwell

that is hella cheap!!!! s14 sr alone would be like 2gs already!!!! ....

[ibspoolinyoubdroolin]

there is a small spot of rust but thats it. shouldnt be to hard to fix. my dad does body work.

Well i guess i did get hookd up quite a bit. cuz the clip, sr, vlsd, five lug conversion, and all the work done is worth more than 3 gs.

yeah thats pretty much a steal haha nice find

check fuses and make sure they aren't dimmed. i had a 78 malibu i didn't know the switch rotated to dim the lights,

[ibspoolinyoubdroolin]

yeah i checked the dimmer already for the dash no luck there. so its either a fuse or they half assed the swap. im probably gunna have open up the dash and wire some stuff up. And check out the hud. it takes like 20 mins to work lol so i cruz at 3000 rpms on the freeway lol
