Yet another Build thread and more.... Cmoody2006

[LeMoine]

Thank god your ditching the body kit it was soo fugly

[treken2t87]

he only bad thing is I'm very anal about the way I want it all painted and I'd be there everyday just making sure they do it just right.....

And you repainted your body kit a different color that didn't match a proper two tone scheme....

I'm sorry for pointing that out, I hope you can get this thing looking super duper clean someday, good luck with your car.

-1 for knock off "nismo" steering wheel....It looks like it came off from some kids toy powerwheels.

[Harman850T5]

Lets see if anyone can guess what wheels those are....

This may have been answered, but those look like a 5 lug version of the American Racing wheels I had on my first Volvo. Except they weren't painted. This was while I was fixing the car after I wrecked it. It was all red, then red white and blue for a while, then primer black. It's now probably a little cube.

Thank god you are keeping it looking stock on the outside. I wouldn't put the black top in until last if you get it. Work out all the cheap things done to the outside, that will show their ugly faces sooner or later.

I'll have to finish reading through before I make a contributing response.

Wow.... Your good I got them for dirt at my local junkyard as some temp wheels till I figure out what I'm doing with my 300zx... Whether is be part it out or sell it.... Here's what they looked like when I first got them.



This is what the rims look like now....



I taped them off and sprayed them when I was painting my calipers. Here's How the calipers turned out...



I got my turbo in a couple days ago and set it in the engine bay to see how it would look....



I don't know if I'm going to boost this motor or wait till I save up some money and pull a swap in it... But like I said its a work in progress...

I also replaced my fuel pump with a walbro 255 Pump.





Here's my hatch floorboard without the carpet in yet. I just finished putting the carpet in it like an hour ago... Don't have any pictures of how it turned out... But That will be later once I bolt down my system and battery again.



I've been tinkering with this as well....Its my friend's suzuki 600 we had to put new brake pads on it and clean it up... It looks amazing and It is so much fun to ride! I've been thinking about buying one but I'm going to wait till I get my car all finished up first.

[idahotuner]

the wheels and brakes turned out awesome man.

If i was you i would keep the kit or just sell it asa whole. and loose the wing. Picking up a new bumper should be very easy.

you have horrible taste, and you like teg's... geeze please can a moderator please show him the door

GTFO he bought it like that and he is saving it. Inetgras can be the ****. specially that abouve one. with that motor i bet it hauls for an NA.

hahahahahahaahah..yea i dont kno about this either personally i would of chose to do motor work b4 a body kit but thats imo good luck tho.

That is the best way to do things. but some people can afford to do that and body work is easy.

[cmoody2006]

I sold the wing months ago to my friend who eventually bought a 240 and stuck it on there... I was pissed when I saw it... He ruined a none holy hatch and wiperless at that....

As for the kit it will prob end up in my "Parts room" its basically just my junk storage space with all kinds of tires and random car parts in it...

I still have the stock rear bumper and its going back on the next day I have off... I just started my new job so I'll be working more trying to save up some money for more parts... I've got everything wrote down that I want and I'm trying to buy a chuki front bumper off a guy thats parting one out but he doesn't want to deal with shipping it.... So... I think I'm up the creek on that one... The 240's around here are all pignose and I hate them.... There was one up at happy's import junkyard in indianapolis but I'll bet its long gone by now. I'm going up there not this weekend but next to check it out and see if they have gotten any z32's in or if that chuki is still up there. I really didn't care what everyone was saying before about my car since I already had most of the work done. I knew it would turn out good but my front tires are rubbing my shocks right now... I still have yet to fix that issue. I'm prolly going to have to run extended stud's and some pretty hefty wheel spacers to fix that issue. I'm looking around for some good extended studs and spacers right now actually...

I've been talking to the guy that I bought my 5 lug swap off of and he has the dohc Ka motor from the car he parted out still and he only wants like 300 bucks if I make a road trip down to pick it up. I also talked to OriginalWheelman from here and he wants my 300zx. He said he's got a blown dohc ka but the head and all the conversion parts for the sohc to dohc swap are all good... I don't know which route I want to go just yet tho.

[White Comet]

well i gotta say i like the way your going now, with ditching the kit and stuff. man, some people are really giving you **** in here, its all good though.

I wouldnt knock ebay, i bought my avcr there for instance, from a reputable ebay store brand new and its just the same as buying it anywhere else

[callmeweezy724]

That is the best way to do things. but some people can afford to do that and body work is easy.

yea im 19..i cant afford it either thats y its takin me so long..so i chose to suffer now by saving for it first then doing my paint job i can care less about looks right now. whats a car with looks without a motor right??

[treken2t87]

There was one up at happy's import junkyard in indianapolis but I'll bet its long gone by now.

Man I hate that junkyard with a passion...it's one of the only junkyards with any s14's around me but the guy working in the office/register is a f*cking a*shole/idiot.

[cmoody2006]

Yea that dude is a douche... Could you do me a favor? Next time you're around Happy's look at the junkyard nextdoor... The mexican junkyard... Lol...

They had a Chuki all the way in the back right behind a big tree.... Let me know if I need to make a roadtrip up there to pull the bumper off.... I won't be able to get up there to see if it's still there till either the weekend after next or the one after that.... And I would really like to get my hands on it if it's there....

I'm only 20 and I couldn't afford to do hardly anything till just recently... Hence my latest parts....

A car with looks without a motor is like a hot chick with an std..... Would love to ride it but can't due to certain circumstances....

Damn, I was just at both junkyards this weekend but I wasn't even looking at the 240's cause I know they don't have any s14s, sorry man.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Holy ****... NiCO officially sucks.

exactly thats y i rather have a car with a good motor n stock exterior..aka sleeper status untill i get money for the exterior..a car's no good with a body kit and nice wheels with a piece of shhhhhh motor. Beside to me a body kit makes me think you have somethin under the hood.. but everyone has there own ways good luck wit the build tho..post some pics when you done.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Horrible knock-off kits means you can drift.

[cmoody2006]

If you haven't noticed the kit is gone... I'm going with a chuki front.

[White Comet]

doug your posts make me laugh

[callmeweezy724]

Its not that the kit is gone..the money u spent on the kit could have been put else where...if money is the issue then y take the kit off...isnt that a waste of money? but like i said everyone has there own ways.

[cmoody2006]

The kit came with the car. I didn't spend any money on it.... Dude that had it before me wanted to it out.... So it really didn't matter to me if it was on or off the car... The front bumper was f#*%ed up when I first bought the car and he gave me the bodykit so I could have a better looking front bumper.... But It's gone now and time for the chuki front.... Oh here's some other pictures from the other day....

truuu well im going buy wut u said wen u started the thread..which is u got into a fender bender n bought the kit i believe...

The shocks are kyb-gr2's and I cut the stock spring mounting plates off and slid on adjustable coils with tien springs... I forget what series they are.... It rides like a dream and handles like no other....

Then I got stupid and bought a bodykit after getting into a slight fender bender....

[cmoody2006]

Well tiny update.... I got the rear bumper on the car and fixed some wiring issues... I blew both headlights in that accident so I replaced those today. I also couldn't figure out why my white face gauge cluster background wasn't lighting up... So I tore into the dash and pulled out the cluster... Since it's out I'm going to replace the speed needle since it keeps getting stuck on something around 45-55mph. But for now i'm just waiting for monday to come so I can go buy more parts with my paycheck.... YAY.... lol The only thing that sucks is that I have to work all day tomorrow from 9am to 2 or 3 in the morning at 2 separate jobs.... I hate not being able to afford what I want right now... It sucks but w/e I'll have all my parts before 2 much longer. I can't decide what to get first.... Kouki tails, or a chuki bumper and Safc 2. I found a full set of kouki tails for $500 shipped and still haven't found a chuki bumper. I also found a Apexi Neo for $280 So I'm debating on what I want to go with first. Or if I should just buy a dohc ka motor and Swap my block to dual cam... I can get everything I need for about $2-300 and thats a whole motor minus 1 rod through the side of the block and it doesn't have the s13 wiring harness nor ecu... The head is still good and so are the timing components. So help me out here...
