[hbpignosePA]

Im gonna have to call on my fellow York and Lancaster crew members to help me bang out the 5-lug swap and coilover install one weekend.

if u havent done this before, theres a few thread on here about it. If u have, then u kno its fairly easy task lol, just remember your 36mm socket and rattle gun.

Altho, from the pics id say u need to clean up that sound deadening job a bit, if u want to get the full benefit of it.



Gl with the project man. What other silvia interior parts did u get? since they're majorly based on having a rhd car.

[hbpignosePA]

its not hard just time consuming

no we dont have air tools.......

btw

u better not dissappear next weekend when i want to put in my steering rack

[Dizel01]

Ive done this before without air tools on a car that has rusted bolts. And I did it by myself! lol. Should be a breeze a 2nd time around especially with 2 people working on it.

And dont worry Josh, Ill be there to help you with your catastrophe *cough cough* I mean S12...lol

[Dizel01]

Got the suspension installed!! It took 4 long days mainly because me and Josh were taking apart 2 cars and swapping parts, along with sending RLCA out to get new balljoints pressed in on Memorial weekend. Oh and did I mention about how I had to get a new radiator cus mine had a hole busted in it a day before the install. I had to add that to the list of things to do which tired me out since this is my daily driver. Sooner or later, Im just gonna get a 2nd car as a daily and not stress on installs like this.

Stripped out all the parts and proceeded to rust proof and undercoat the front wells.


Front sway bar ready to get painted.


Not a lot of pics taken during the install since we were doin hella work. But here Josh holding up a 21 year old rear suspenion.


Everything all bolt up.





Wheels await their home.


Original front cross and drilled rotors were warped for some damn reason so I picked up fresh OEM 26mm rotors.


The stance.




Got some bricks to pull the look together.


And the Silvia interior.




Parts consist of:
PBM coils with 8kg fronts and 6kg rears (they feel perfect!)
PBM rear toe arms, front tension arms, RUCAs
Z32 front brakes and rotors
SPL stainless lines
Ichiba 5 lug conversion
Work CR Kai 18x9.5 +12
New OEM FLCA
New balljoints on RLCA
Energy Suspension bushings for sway bars and endlinks (never had time to do the knuckles sadly)

All I need now is a helical Here's a teaser of the body work going into the rear valences. I got one done.



More to come!!

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Looks good, dude!

[laxands13]

wow that looks good. I love coupes with a good stance

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Great looking car dude, really clean! I usually don't like all black everything, but the combination of REAL paint and gloss wheels set it apart from the rest of the blacked out cars.

Some clear corners/tailights would really make it pop! And a gtr grill, or a chargespeed if you can even find one.

[hbpignosePA]

finally nicoz sees the awesomeness

its lookin clean dale; and AZ; paint looks better in da pics, it needs a good spray one of these days.

you laugh at me for my daily; but it makes life sooo much easier

[NismoS13Ks]

nice! that black looks sick!

[Dizel01]

Thanks guys! I wish I could go lower but I need it to be practical for my long rides to work everyday. I have some more goodies to put on so I will update you guys next weekend. *cough* smoked out Origin tailights *cough*

[White Comet]

looks great. i look forward to seeing the tails on.you pick em up from keegan?

[matzinm2]

gUHangster bro, I'm diggin the wheels, I have the same set and same size, just in takata green goin on my satin white hatch project. Just curious how much of a roll/pull you did in the front/back. How hard is it to pull fenders?

[NismoS13Ks]

smoked origin tails = a must for murder

[JDM Sil4ty]

yes.. im loving the stance. but smoked origin tails are a must for coupes ..

[Dizel01]

To roll fenders, a baseball bat is your friend. And Jeff, I got my tails from sonic motor and then smoked them myself since they only carry clear sets.

[White Comet]

nice, cant wait to see em on the car. this coupe is so much better then your hatch, seems like a much better starting point

[Dizel01]

haha i was a nub then when I had the hatch. That was the experiment. Now I got experience under my belt.

[White Comet]

hey i did the same thing, plus the coupe just seems to be in better shape then your old hatch

[hbpignosePA]

psh the hatch is in great shape

wayy to hurt the sale yooooooooooooooooo

[Kalypso]

sidewalls on the tires are an eye sore... you should switch to a slimmer tire...

[White Comet]

psh the hatch is in great shape

wayy to hurt the sale yooooooooooooooooo

my bad, but i pretty sure anyone besides helen keller would notice the dent anyways

[diggles240]

[hbpignosePA]
