Hey guys & girls....
i have been looking around on nico for a long time and finally decided to joint and let every one in on what i have been working on.

I have own 3 s13, 2 hatches and my last one a coupe.
i bought my coupe in 07 so is been 3 years now, and it has gone through major things.
it came with a single cam, then did a dual cam turbo setup for a while sold it and went rb20, did not even install the motor before i bought a r33 front clip..
here is the story with some pics, lmk what you guys think :biggrin:

when i first bought the coupe back in 07

doing some drifting at OSW with the single cam
Image
coils, catback, front lip
Image
got some meshies
Image
swap out the single cam did a simple t28 kat dual cam setup
Image
ran some corn gas (E85) that stuff works amazing!!
Image
Image
bought 5lugs
Image
interior before rhd
Image
decided to sell the kat setup and buy a r32 (rb20det) front clip
Image
Image
Image
Image
So i got all the rhd things from the r32 clip Dash chassis harness firewall pedals, and did a rhd conv
Image
r32 A/C box fits with no problem
Image
Image
Image
then while getting rhd thing done and engine bay painted, i decided to sell the rb20 swap and buy an r33 from clip with an r25det in it
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
rhd 90% done
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
cleared the engine bay and motor is in waiting on drive shaft isis intake manifold and fmic to get this rolling

lil update

got mine greddy timing belt and water pump

good thing was when i order the water pump i thought that it was a regular pump, but since i bought it from a private seller that only had 24 feedbacks and was only 52bucks shipped i went back and checked the part number and came up as a N1 water pump, so today i got the pump and yup it is a N1 water pump only for 52 bucks shipped thats not bad.
and got the greddy belt for $$112 good savings
