OutToWinPAHC's LS6/T56 s13.5 (no longer my car)

[OutToWinPAHC]

Test fitted the crossmember, the gussets need to be reduced some for the exhaust piping. All 4 coilovers installed, S15 cored modded to fit, primed and painted, coilovers installed, valve covers painted with a high temp acrylic gloss black, intake finished painted and throttle body installed.

Need - To trim X member, and bolt up.Install exhaustInstall wideband and other new guagesinstall CD player and speakersPut interior back in.Paint, tune, alignment........

Finished intakeClose up of intake / strut bar paintValve Covers

[OutToWinPAHC]

Oh... I NEED CHEAP CHEAP S13 FENDERS LOCAL IN PHILLY AREA

[OutToWinPAHC]

Gussets trimmed, trans crossmember a success, but I stripped out the trans mount and ordered a new one.

I need to adjust the clutch push rod there is a little too much free play when bleeding, the rebound should be more.

Today I installed tension rods, reinstalled valve covers, bolted up exhaust, installed wideband, installed lengthened shifter arm, installed S15 hood, but the one part of the under skeleton is hitting the intake elbow so I need to remove it.

Waiting on - Trans mountValley bolts (so I can install intake)Random bolts.

Once I get these last few things and make the adjustment I should be able to have it running again finally. Then body shop (5 stars auto), Allignment (friends shop), Tune, and enjoy

[TJcars2]

That's gonna be sick when it's done. I assume you're gonna have cats cause of emissions up there right?

[OutToWinPAHC]

No cats.... I passed emissions with flying colors, just wasn't my car on the sniffer. But I drive it way less then 5K a year so I am emissions exempt and I have a frind inspect it.

If you walk into my garage right after I pull the car out, you eyes will hurt. It's a non eco friendly gas hog polluter for sure.

[Lonismos14]

Hows the fenders coming along is it a head ache?

? for you, do you think an 350 out of a 99 tahoe will mate with the s14. Cause im getting a new motor for my truck, and your build has me speculating.

[OutToWinPAHC]

I'm not doing the fenders, a local body shop is who does a lot of swap and nissan work. They have done a number of S15 swaps.

But I test fitted the hood and had to remove part of the skeleton, and then the throttle body hit the hood. That was an aftermarket bbk throttle body, and well I cant use it. So I tried the OEM which still hit. So I took it off and got to grinding it down. I got it to clear, but I am going to remove more so when it torques it doesn't hit.

Always something. Valley bolts in, intake on, need shorter intake bolts grrr.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Some pics and updates, clutch pedal adjusted, seems to be returning better, needs to be bled again. Need shorter intake bolts, garage needs cleaning, some wiring in the car, and drive it out.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Tires ordered.....

Nitto 555's for the rear 275-40-17's, on 9 inch wheels (cause stretching is like wearing to tight of a condom)

[mrgreeneyes]

condoms are for newbs.

the car is really shaping up. that OEM front is SO much better than that awful fiberglass contraption you had.

im really starting to like this car... youre turning her around into a killer street car

[OutToWinPAHC]

Yeah the OEM front is so much smoother flowing, plus I wont have to worry about ripping into a million pieces if it scapes something. I am going to make it moderately lower, but I still cant slam it because if the fuel cell. 2 inches lower in the front, 1 inch in the rear.

Once its back together, painted, tuned I think I am just going to tint it, drive it, and buy a subaru gc8 to play with

[TroubleBound]

Yeah the OEM front is definitely a major improvement. And your painted intake looks fly as hell, along with that beast trans cross. Can't wait to see it a little lower either i always hoped you would give in and drop her just a little.

The only thing that makes the whole beast look a little tacky for me is the yellow air freshener haha. "You know you're too drunk to drive when you swerve to avoid a tree and it's your air freshener"

[Tyler]

cars looking good! are you going to stay with the same color it was or go with something different? oh, and thanks again for the name change

[OutToWinPAHC]

Thanks guys

[OutToWinPAHC]

- stem bearing and brakes on motorcycle done

- Clutch bled, success with adjustment- exhaust up, and torqued- rear sway bar on-remote bleeder and 02 cables secured

-Waiting on intake bolt and random bolts-Gonna go through the underside once more and check everything before I bring her down.-Check all engine area bolts, mounts, harness, fluids, etc-Pull car out and finish the passenger side wiring. Take quick spin, off to the body shop once I fix the rust on the S13 fenders I got.

[OutToWinPAHC]

got some work in on the S13 fenders. I cut the rusted spots out and patched them. Then coated them over with filler. Gonna sand them down tomorrow and make sure the bottoms are good for the body shops work next week.

Also ordered an alarm from Broadfield, didn have one what was I thinking.

[OutToWinPAHC]

The UPS man brought me some rubber. Nitto 555 275-40-17s

[Jables]

Looking great dude... Keep it up!!! Now i wanna ride!!!! You need to make a road trip to AL and we can pull the other LS1 car out!!!

[OutToWinPAHC]

Bring your drift beast to Nicofest this year (May). I have been meaning to email you to about that other thing we talked about. Once I have some time I am going to get all those dimensions and more R32,R33, and R34 as well.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Buttoned up the loose ends, routed the wiring, zip tied the fenders up, and drove that b**** tonight.

Shifts good, and yeah its pretty low on the BC coilovers. Frame rails are 2.25inches off the ground.

[bersh240]

lookin good.any chance you could get on aim?i have a "talk to a mod for answers" problem.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Might lower the front another half inch, rear is staying. The under the car muffler scrape, pullling in and out of the driveway and alleyway. I felt the rack arm hit the header so I am going to have to take car of that. Other then this I just gotta wrap up the wiring and take it to the body shop. Then tire place, then tuner.

[TJcars2]

Lookin good. Are you getting the S15 half to match the rest of the car or are you changine the color completely?

[OutToWinPAHC]

The car was painted last year. So I am just making the new front match the rest.

[93coupe]

Insane build. I would like to check it out in person.

What is with moderators doing s13.5 hatches?

[nevertheless]

Are you going to get different wheels?

[Jables]

Man i would love to.. I'll have to double check with the event calender and see whats up for that weekend.. I know we have 3 demos really close to each other during may and june.. But ill try.. And i got your message.. I'll be giving you a call as soon as i get out of the office for the day!!!

[OutToWinPAHC]

Are you going to get different wheels?

Nope, I dont have the caps on em, but 17x9+35 fit 275-40-17's under the S13 just perfect with the inner lip rolled.

[J14cm7]

Great build man. I want to go LS so bad but after reading about all you have in this car i could never do it. The finished product is gonna look sick once the fenders are done. Whats your final HP/torque hopes after its tuned?

[nitsujvg]

Nope, I dont have the caps on em, but 17x9+35 fit 275-40-17's under the S13 just perfect with the inner lip rolled.

forgive me if this has been answered before, but i havent gotten a definite answer. do those wheel specs clear coils? front and back? i just got coils and might have to buy new wheels, and i love the fitment of 9+35's.

but anyway car looks intense man, im pretty jealous haha.
