sold my s12 and started with a different chassis, heres my recent build progress/season progress
s***! 2012 season has started!
The S12 is gone and done for good, im gonna build a new one later
RIP
Received this from a good friend, a shell ready to go. Took the 1jz out of my 200sx and will be poppin it in this s14 that had been previously 1j'd
It's dark ATM and my garage is full of other s chassis's ATM
The power plant
First plan! Get a r154 shifter extension I didn't need one in the s12.. I'm on it
heres some daylight iphone pics, car is dirty, needs some aero, i have lights and s*** to put in it.. ill get on it
gonna prepare the bay tomorrow, been stripping it down. Gotta make a bracket for the fusebox where its new position is.
maybe redo the fuel line setup, using double flared fittings
then i need to clean/tape it all up/paint
cleaned
prepared/sanded some
primed
finished
my S12 a few years ago had this color bay while it was sr'd
s12, s13, s14
got rid of one today
hood pins & hood spacers installed
interior pic, got a steering wheel and gonna source out a legal seat thats in date
my shifter extension should be done sometime this weekend, then i can get the engine on the hoist
looks like i could touch up the cage's paint job
All bolted up shifts fine, I'd like I invest in a shorter throw
Helpin my buddy sr swap his s12
waitin on motor mounts to come in!
repaired some front end damage on my dd s13
dope adjustable s12 office chair i made
progress on this sr20 s12, bay is finished!! me & a buddy have been working on his car, im just lending him garage space/giving ideas/doing some welding for him
repaired some holes from where the i/c piping went, it was all hacked up
primed bay
lime splash!
made my trans mount solid, didnt have a rubber mount anyways
need to measure and take my 1j s12 driveshaft back to driveline to mate with the stock rear s14 2 piece
great rad clearance (ka koyo), will be making a aluminum shroud & fan setup
shifter extension puts it right where i need it, sweet
ill start mocking the piping up when i find or buy a kit to mock up
heres part of my build thread for the day
bay is pretty much done minus the piping needs to be redone & so does the intake
race car trash lol
side view
relocated fusebox, still in the process of bringing the headlight wiring back to the headlights, this gives me room for a intake on the other side from where i had it down where the stock battery goes
using my in house, lol.. steel fan shroud for a bit until i get some money right, this time though a koyo radiator and sealing all the seams will give me some better cooling action, i sealed the fans to the shroud also.. ive got a 61.C mishimoto thermostat also
heres my intake for now, if i have leftover piping after i redo the i/c piping ill do this in aluminum
turns out the flange i used on my s12 is the same as the flange on my rear stock driveshaft piece
measured 22 inches from the output shaft to driveshaft flange, dropped all the pieces off @ driveline today, ill have it driving in 2 days when i get it back!
swap all together 100 percent minus the driveshaft, ill be redoing the piping again later, i just need to distribute funds towards other things atm
made a downpipe to mate up with the exhaust that came with a car
clearance is swell, all above the frame rails

all done on the bottom almost
got some 25 mm spacers for the front
got the wrong thread pitch studs XD
just orderd some 240 ones at work & pressed em in, the front studs fit, rears dont due to a slim shank
some sr20 s12 coupe progress
finally got it off the stands & drove it out of the garage, it sounds & looks so good.. Im so excited to drift a car like this finally
. Ive only drifted a KA S14 a long time ago..ill be driving it at hyperfest june 16th if i qualify, & also driving the 17th @ Drift Nirvana. pumped!
pics of it outside letting it run, ill get more footage later..
still have tons to do! borrow a in date seat soon thats next, a battery box, gotta wire the wipers, & other things for tech!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uwMTxKc ... ature=plcp[/youtube]
started on a gauge cluster/switch panel, aem wideband gauge, coolant temperature gauge F*, & boost gauge.
gonna start doing a ton of work to it this week since i got fired from toyota, FML. I still am planning on making hyperfest...
gonna run power steering this time around! didnt have it on the s12, past 2 days such a hassle to get this all together ugh, luckily i kept my old tensioner pulley for this
napa belt part number
25 060730 73.5 inches 35$
bought a used pump from a friend, it was missing the pulley and the return line flange so i found those @ the junkyard and pieced it together
also put together a bracket to bypass the A/C compressor, hopefully this 5$ setup works! seems nice and stiff, we will see.. shouldnt be a problem.. though this thing is probally only made for holding stuff up on a clothes line! l
ill brake clean it all down when im done,
i have a earls high pressure line with a AN fitting on the rack, went out to a shop and orderd a fitting that will connect the aftermarket line to my toyota power steering pump, so as of tomorrow ill have full power steering! so happy..
got some gloves, shoes, roll bar padding, a extinguisher mount, some high density padding & some cheaper stuff all @ OG racing
borrowed a in date seat and harness too! this is actually working out! no job - no problem!
looks like im gonna have everything i need to make tech
thanks!
interior is done, just buttoning the car up for this weekend! gonna be at summit point from thursday to sunday, friday is qualifying, sat is the comp, sunday is drift nirvana practice!
awaiting some 35 mm spacers for my rear blue wheels
got all my tires mounted! got some sweet maxxis tires in the back if i make qualifying for the comp got 2 more and maybe others if i find them...
drilled some holes in the bumper
got my rear spacers in
fitment is a okay for me, so pumped to rip this car up!
some daylight pics before i get dropped off at summit tomorrow
hyperfest coverage
too bad i didnt qualify, turns out the BOV was leaking a tremendous amount of boost and i couldnt figure it out until sunday.
id hit about 7psi and then id just start losing all my boost/have no top end
got there thursday
friday morning getting ready for practice
some photos from friday practice/qualifying, it felt like it had around 200 hp at this point :/
no power no smoke! FAIL! ended up qualifying 22nd place! at least i didnt get a zero
blocked off that b**** (the BOV) @ drift nirvana around 1pm sunday through the day after checking for numerous boost leaks etc. and BAM like 70 HP and top end outta no where! s*** hauls a** and spins through 3rd on 245's!
sad i didnt make top 16, but so glad i figured the car out! first time driving it.. now at least this winter i can really put some more effort in and prepare for a sick a** 2013 season. most deff will be doing some more testing as this season rolls through though.
awaiting some more media and hopefullyl of a video of when i got it running better!
