[ILoveMyRHS13]

would you guys be interested in startin meets in lancaster?

maybe every other week or something? i made a thread in the regional section i think it would be sweet, theres a decent number of us in the area...

There are already a big number of Lancaster meets started by TriStateTuners. Check out TriStateTuners.com for more info. I know there are Sonic meets every sunday and thursday.

NISMO motor/trans mounts are sitting in my bedroom, Alum driveshaft is in the mail as of today, two orders from Courtesy Nissan of different bolts/brackets/boots/bushings that i needed are en route as well...

prepping the car for boost soon so big brakes (z32)/ hydro ebrake/ better wheels/tires... somewhere in the 17x9/9.5" range... also, PBM rear toe/traction arms, SPL parts tie rods/ends, PBM skid plate, cage, new exhaust that fits right... and im still looking for a helical... ill seriously trade someone straight up for my tomei 2-way in s13 housing... for someone's helical with axles.

more pics soon

[idahotuner]

you mean helical with output shafts

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Update.

One piece aluminum driveshaft in.Nismo Trans mount in.Nismo Motor mounts in.

We found delicious treats when we took the driver's side motor mount out... And we were wondering what that loud *** boom was while backroading.

Exhaust: dieing.

[tramp_drift240]

you get the DSS aluminum one piece?

im looking to get the steel one probably, lemmie know how install goes. pretty interested.

and keep up the good progress.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

The aluminum one is AWESOME.

The install went okay... We had to drop the trans a little to give it enough slack so we could connect it all.

[Didderson]

Dayyyum s0n. LOL the freakin motor mount. U beat the hell out of that bat****.

I wanted driveshaft pics too!

How do you like the mounts???

[mrgreeneyes]

everything feels great. whole different car really. powertrain is crisp and responsive now, but far from noisy or intolerable. its nice and quiet.

dss alum shaft is sex. just amazing. for like $325 to your door, cant beat it.

and the motor and trans mounts went in great... without a hitch really

[JRPS13]

where did u get the one peice alum driveshaft from?

[mrgreeneyes]

seriously, read. drive shaft shop.

[idahotuner]

haha i would like to have a solid peice drive shaft! someday.

[nismoracingsx]

Thats all i can really say.

Wow..great build.

[mrgreeneyes]

decided to upgrade my current braking setup with remanned calipers, new pads instead of z32 route. i cant fully justify $800 to do z32 stuff correctly for the minimal gains ill have over my current q45 setup. also a z31 master cyl may go in as well...

nismoracingsx, thank you sir. im trying

also, no hydro ebrake since oem calipers are being kept in the rear.

so next focus is finishing the braking system properly, new front pass fender (mines all dinged up), new sideskirts, 5lug/wheels/tires, exhaust, redo the satin black paint, tint, pbm arms, spl tie rods/ends, new headlight housings, and a few other items. cage too... still deciding what type i wanna get (weld in/bolt in, 4pt/6pt)

[JRPS13]

sorry man didnt know that drive shaft shop was the actual brand of the driveshaft let alone a website. thought maybe it was a local shop haha now thanks to you i have one on order! great build btw

OP, the X and Y values of the graph in your sig should be reversed.. X is control, Y is measurement

as it is now, it indicates that if you make a car more awesome, its ride height will automatically drop.

edit: i also just now noticed that 'Quantitative' is also spelled improperly..

lol, sorry

[scottyvEE3]

those rims deff look sick, keep us updated with the project

[Neil]

[idahotuner]

dude its not 700 fora z32 brake up grade. it was like 500 lol but it is very impressive

[mrgreeneyes]

dude its not 700 fora z32 brake up grade. it was like 500 lol but it is very impressive

its over 700 to do all 4 properly. new everything. i dont put used items on my car. not if i can avoid it. in fact, i have new q45 calipers and oem rear calipers sitting in my rear seat waiting to go in... cus my old ones were just rebuilt ones... that failed. so yeah... well into the $850 to 900 range to do it right.

vn build. i love the helical diff. you need to get one. my red car has one and it's awesome. it takes a little to get used to, plus the noise and the click in slow speeds.

i love them low too. sometimes i scrape in the middle of the street.

having coilovers are great, the cops think it's funny cause they know it's me when they see my headlights at night dance up and down

glad to see your going new oem for brakes. its well worth it

[mrgreeneyes]

glad to see your going new oem for brakes. its well worth it

yeah, now i need at least one new lug cus my damned lugkey broke while trying to remove one of the lugs, and stripped the splines on the lug itself.

a $23 bolt extractor from the snap-on truck should fix this... just gotta get a replacement lug tho... so i dont have 3 lug in rear.

brakes should be done thurs. ill report back. i am intrigued to see how the z31 master will perform...

[mRodiek]

loving the build dude--z32 brakes=awesome lolstoked for updates man!

[White Comet]
