Project: HummingBird

[got chub]

my dog use to love water till he was just over a year old. then he slipped 3 disk in his back and couldnt walk or even move. i took him to the vet ER and had $3000 back surgery for him. nothing is really the samw with him now. i started to hold him in the pool so that he could exercise his legs and get stronger and walk more normal. i found the life jacket for him and now ill sit on a raft and hold it and he can pull me around the pool.

im not sure if these are what you are looking for but take a look.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

freaking wienerdogs and their back problems

your project is coming along really nice

RWD....... you definitely gonna want more power

and if you are as methodical on going about your exterior and interior doing some mods to your engine and drivetrain components would not hurt, plus this site is full of info on engines, suspension and such

**** nice work. When i get the time and money i wanna do a sileighty project as well

[Ghast]

dude the theme for your car is so awesome what color are you gonna paint it when you are done?

Uhhh I believe there is an OEM color for s14's that is called Starfire Blue? correct me if i am wrong. Its not a OMG blue its a nice dark elegant kind of blue. I think it will do my car justice ( when finished ). Anything red will be blue, and Anything like trim lines that are stock black and the lil tid bits on the Aero bumper the black body line will All be kept black, the URAS 3 duct will be kept black to make it look as if it is just another tid bit accessory on the Bumper. I hope that makes sense. What do you think?

Yep man it is going to be beautiful i already see me in it cruising on the highway at 11pm in the middle lane at 65MPH Only hearing the perfect balance of Trance music and My engine RPM's Humming down the road, With the mild whine of the turbo when i give it a spirited acceleration every once and awhile. The glow of all my gauges letting me know every vital point of my cars spirit. Yaaaa one day man one day. She WILL be a work of art, As will yours as long as you take your time and treat it as you want it to treat you.

+1 for a good build good luck man

what part of san antonio are you in?

Thanks bro i appreciate that. I am going to say the North East side? near James Madison High School? i live over in that area. Like 1604 Exit bulverde (sp?) and i live pretty much right there. It would be really awesome to hang with some other nissan or 240 drivers! What part of Texas are you in?

haha thats cool man, Actually that has JUST happened to Tasia not even 2 weeks ago man. I had no idea how common the problem was with them. it really messed me up dude because when i come home she usually runs to me and gets all excited but when i discovered she was having back problems. She did not run to me it really made me sad like hardcore because i did not think it was something that could be fixed. Though tasia did not need surgery she just needs to take some pills we wrap in cheese for her, but she does not act the same as she used to. you can see it in her eyes that she WANTS to but just cant. I still love her though.

And yes that is exactly what i am looking for, Accept i also need the 3rd piece of the set which would be the middle part. I have a gut feeling that finding a 3pc set together is going to be kinda hard but i am willing to wait. 450 is the most i am willing to pay for them unless its like impossible to get my hands on them.

yes back problems are a shame And i am going for a goal of Any number in Horsepower as long as i have over 300wtq. I am thinking that much torque will feel mighty fun and more then fill my need to be pushed back in the seat.

thanks for the support man!

[White Comet]

Thanks man! And yes i have for sure seen your thread i think 100% of NICO has seen it,very good taste & style. I also see you are on to another project thats very cool! if i recall correctly you have a VERY large working space that made me drool. i will for sure be using you as a reference when i run into a problem! Thanks for the support man!

hahaha yep thats me, glad u enjoy it, crazy updates coming soon. im keeping an eye on yours btw. it has potential

look! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...h=025

[Ghast]

Oh wow, its not often they show up on e-bay at all. All 3 pieces AHHHHHHH i am in between paychecks right now it sucks! every paycheck i try to find something to get. Accept this last one i did not have a lot of hours haha. These will probably sell for at least 400. Its a crazy price but i think every year they get harder to find. Sadly i will not be able to bid on these babies... There is also a NICE set of 180sx front and rear seats for sale that are beautiful.... I want them but i cant have them. I have to stay focused on Exterior till December and then i will move to Suspension and interior. But hey man thanks a million for watching out for me i really really appreciate that!

Thought i would post some pics of my DD just for kicks. Yes it is a FWD but to me it is my beautiful FWD. And then some pics of my Teams rides.

[Ghast]

Yes, i am aware of any cars that were in 4x4 Status when these pics were taken!

No, we are not a group of ricers. More of just a group of car enthusiasts who happen to be pretty much all family.

Yes, The Del Sol ( Honda ) needs a paint job. But whats in the engine bay makes up for it. I don't have the "go ahead" to post many pics of it though.

The Yellow MP5 has been replaced with a 93 240 hatch in gold with craptastic brown interior. Good running condition though, and power everything optioned out pretty nice so cant complain. Its my brothers no pics yet though.

The supra... Its a supra!

And the Tiburon is pretty freakin kick *** for a Hyundai!

Thats my family

[Ghast]

look! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...h=025

Ya so i ended up totally winning them ( 180sx OEM rear valances )



I guess seeing as how it was on a Wednesday night. No one was really searching ebay due to school and what not. I have no idea but that is the story i am going with. They were within my budget also! only $200 then another $80 for shipping. No major cracks. Which is what i was looking for!

This is what i want the rear to look like. Minus the wing. And it will be starfire blue. Not orange, I can not pull off orange, even though it does look badass.

now i have completed collecting everything hard to find for my exterior. I think next i am going to try and get my hands on some 180sx Front and rear seats. New carpet which i need to do some research on. And a 180sx headliner to fix the problem with the gap from A-pillar to headliner.

My interior is going to be somewhat Broadfield inspired. Gotta get with him soon on the ideas and if he has any tips on them. It will include 7 - 12 Autometer nexus Gauges.

Thats all for now i will take pics of the rear valances when they come in. Along with an outline of my ideas for interior some time soon!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my thread!

[240lookis]

those rear valances look great. when is all the aero gonna be put on?

180sx front & rear seats are def on my list for this winter.

http://www.stockinteriors.com for carpet

im keeping this on my watche topics bro

[White Comet]

can you give us a complete list of all the aero and exterior parts you currently have that you've gotten?

[got chub]

that is awesome that you won those. good deal

anything else you need? im on ebay all the time

[Ghast]

those rear valances look great. when is all the aero gonna be put on?

I ask myself that every day haha. I really don't know. Part of me wants it on every time i walk into the garage. Then another part of me says keep it off because when i get it all painted its going to have to be off anyways. And by keeping it off it stays clean and also free of any chance of damage. Though i do not drive it but once every 2 weeks for 10 minutes around my block & neighborhood. I am not really sure i am sorry for the incomplete answer . What do you think?

Is that where you got your carpet from? i saw them but i have heard many different stories about fitment issues and what not. How was the install for you if that is where you got your carpet from? Does it just need to be heated? Because i have a professional grade heat gun that i could use if that is the only problem i would be running into. please let me know and thanks for checking out my thread man!

[Ghast]

Of course , i would love to.++++What I Have++++-s13 Aero Front Bumper ( with bumper support )-s13 OEM Fenders-s13 Zenki Turn signals-s13 Headlight Supports ( does that count? )-s13 OEM corner lights-s13 OEM Dual Halogen "Brick" headlights-180sx OEM Quarter Glass-After Market GTR Style Grille================++What I Need To Complete My Exterior++-180sx OEM Rear Valances ( shipping in progress so they are not mine until they are in my hands )-180sx OEM Type X Side skirts-URAS 3-Duct Vent ( Still in question, i don't know if i should cut into the Aero Bumper )-Charge Speed Hood-180sx Type X Tail Lights-180sx Window Visors================All of that will complete my Exterior styling. With the exception of ride height, Wheels and tires. They also set off the image of a vehicle. The color choice as of now is going to be Starfire Blue. Until someone shows me something that would catch my eye a lil more then that Blue. I also don't know what kind of wheels and tires i want on her. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time man, And your support!

yes, im going to rebuy again this winter to redo it. i cut it too short in some places and i also yanked all the auto seabelt crap out which left slits and holes in carpet where that stuff was.

all you need is a sharp pair of scissors and couple cans of spray adhesive.

[Ghast]

Well there is something. I saw it on Splintercell's page. He has a box thing that fits into the free space on your OEM console. It kinda pops out to hold a drink or you can use the mini box for change and or ID cards or credit cards. Let me see if i can find a pic....

(splintercell i hope you do not mind me using these images from your thread to give an example. At your request if u want them down i will take them down in a second thank you in advance!)

Pics borrowed from "Splintercell"

If you could keep an eye out for finding me that. That would be great man!

Also a complete conversion for the s13 Digital climate control. << I REALLY WANT THAT. Looks so clean. Let me know if you need pics of that!

Oh and thanks man if it was not for you finding the rear valances i would not have gotten then till around X-mas i think and who knows how much i would have tossed out for them. So thank you. I owe you one.

[splintercell]

not a prob bro! i wish i still had it. i sold it too someone else a few weeks ago. i might be doing a double din nav.

I totally am going to buy from them then. Thank you for letting me know.! i appreciate it. Also i hope you don't mind me using a few pics from your thread to show example.

BTW i used google to search "freebox" and your thread where u sold it came up. Lemmie know why you sold it so it can help me to decide on weather or not this is something i actually want. Thanks again!

So then there is nothing negative to say about it? Cuz i really really like it.

nice stuff. the pieces you need still are the priceiest ones. i paid $600 for those skirts used. good luck getting teh rest of the aero needed.

U got them brand new then huh? thats what i am thinking i am just going to do. I think i am going to aim on making the interior pretty much done by December i change my mind a lot i know haha. Pretty much interior done without all the custom gauge work. I wont worry about all of that until i get the Engine. So here is what my goal is for December.

-180sx OEM Front and Rear Seats ( the ones with 180sx printed on them )-180sx OEM headliner-240sx Carpet from stock interiors.-Redo my door panels.-Redo glove box.-Talk to "splintercell" about that Kenetik battery and buy one.-Also buy a SARD battery box like his because i cant help but think that looks EXTREMELY clean.( sorry if i am copying your style splintercell )-Oh and i gotta pick a steering wheels and shift nob. I don't like the ones the previous owner had in the car.

I think that is a reasonable goal to have completed before December ends. Oh and also clean up all the interior areas while i have everything out. Such as maybe spray down some undercoating or lay out that foil looking sound killer stuff.

What do yall think?

[got chub]

yup all the OEM aero stuff will cost you. my s14 was outrageous. my navan kit was $1500
