gotcha

nissan s13

now its a stepping stone to a larger newer faster turbo rwd/4wd car
no point me jumping in feet first only to lose control and wrap it

so i bought this





plans are tidy it up to mot spec "bigger job than you'd think"

18" wheels are off and std 15" late spec one are fitted

so far i have rewired the audio system front to back
fitted infinity front comps and a pioneer headunit, all bolted down same as factory fit.

moved the boost gauge fromt he ashtray
and had £200 worth of welding on the front chasis

next up is air filter, and exhaust system and i have a whiteline rear arb ready to go on
and as far as i can see it will need new suspension and brakes and a service


more pics to follow when i get a cam

i managed to break 2 on the rocker cover of my s14a (when i had it) when putting it back on after cleaning oil spray bars.... must have taken all of 0.00001Nm of torque to do so chocolate bolts.

good stepping stone anyway, good to get some experience in.

my mate has one of them with that mods, its running 185bhp and its fecking slow

they dont respond well, and they're ugly bastarding cars,

but on a brighter note, they're not bad for drifting and not giving a shit about
