Dan

Sounds good mate, wait till Stavros see's this thread, he'll have you doing all sorts to it!

Mine was Red aswell, totally standard except a piper backbox I chucked on it which I had lying around, had to do this as the original one was nackered and wouldn't of passed an MOT!

I bought mine for Ł600, did a crank regrind and top end rebuild, didnt cost much as did it myself, sold the car 18 months later for Ł1100 I'd have bought another one if it wasn't for drifters pushing the prices up!

Couple of pics for you

MAD matt-sab

nice pics there mate !!!!
yes the drifters really have knocked up the prices with these of late !
but bargin time for me, I only give Ł700 for it as u see here
with 11 months mot and drove from liverpool home trouble free.
sweet motor,turbo,box the lot
happy days
all the mods are coming in cheap enough too

FULL goose Ł150

Mixja

but how long till u get another rs turbo..???!!!

Dan

Nice one mate! How did you get it so cheap!

Stavros

Nah, ive seen the thread from the start, just not replied, dunno what to say, lol.

Personally, even though ive got a mental one, i think they dogpoo as standard so obv cant give it all the "awesome work, wise choice mate" stuff

Full mongoose for that money was good work though

Plans for it sound wise, though IMHO lairy graphics will make it a joke unless its got the looks inside and out to match.

May as well pop down the motorfactors and buy some CA18 big end bearings anytime you got a free minute, youl need em, lol

Dan

Couldn't agree more!

Steve, you have PM mate

MAD matt-sab

I too heard the bottom ends are weak but have a spare motor so no biggie, and the 1 in the car is a low miler from a 180sx.

the mad graphics etc where a joke steve......tiger stips or spots wont really suit it.how is your 200 done any events etc yet ???

its having matt black roof/top half yes and some tlc to the rest.

yes in std trim they are not great but what is ???

where u ever impressed with a boggo std rst and their brakes


anyway car came in cheap as due to the matt red finish,simple as.
the exhaust is off a local guy who "plays" with BIG power nissans all the time and has bits and spares coming out of his RS.

a good S14 gearbox Ł100 sir

good coil packs Ł5 each etc

front and rear sturt braces Ł30 the pair

skyline front calipers with braided hoses to suit Ł60

this wont be a huge expence build by far !!



ps. exhaust going on in the next few hours

Stavros

Events? Its still in bits And if you mean competitions, you must seriously underestimate the standards if you think you can just bowl up and compete!

Last practice day my car attended was late 2005 I think

MAD matt-sab

no i know the competition stuff is propper serious in the drifting game !!!
novices need not apply.same for the cars really.
its a big bucks game.
as for practice days its the way to go to learn etc.
I know they hold them in chepstow so pretty close for me.
got my eye on a few track days first though.



btw.........exhaust is on as is front and rear strut braces.

sweet as a nut ! lol

Stavros

Fair play for getting on with stuff, idve took 3months to bother getting round to it as ever

EDC is big budget and big skills, but Eurodrift and UKDC is easy possible to get good results in a fairly basic car if you got PROPER good skills.

Jeek off here qualified 3rd and finished 4th in the 1st Round of Eurodrift on the weekend in a 24valve Saff with a spec a lot lower than most the Saff Cossies on here.

Unlike most motorsports its 90% skills and 10% what car you got, which is most the reason I like it.

About learning, to start its deffo safer at a practice day, but IMHO streetos the best way to improve if you got the bottle, almost all the top drifters in the UK would never be as good as they are if they wasnt out all the time diffing it up at night.
20mins seat time once a month at a practice day might give you the jist of it, but the quickest way to improve is to get as much driving as you can.
Its ALL about seat time.

MAD matt-sab

fair play steve,hit nail on head !!!




sklyline front brakes,fmic,fuel pump and stage 2 ecu
next week now,away for bank holiday


O and some new plugs and finish off servicing it and all belts.

tracktoy

nice one matt- see you on track soon

MAD matt-sab

yeah HOPEFULLY mate !
plug number 4 is solid in there
i have nearly serviced it all but plug 4 wont budge and i really dont want to snap it etc

but the other plugs where ok and correct for the car etc.

fuel filter done too,looked like it was the original 1 lol

keep u informed when and if.

any suggestions on plug pls ????

Escy

I had a bargin with my last one. It cost me Ł400 as a non runner on ebay. The starter was shagged, went up to London, bump started it and drove it home. Paint was lovely, engine was a JDM import, no rust at all, mint interior, 78k on the clock and over 1k's worth of recipts for an engine rebuild done in the last year. Was a bargin, only thing other than the starter was the rear bumper had warped where it'd been sitting agaisnt a wall.



This is how it ended up before I sold it.



I sold a goose for Ł60 Parts are crazy cheap compared to other cars. I want mine back.

May I suggest getting uprated anti-roll bars. I had some Whiteline ones and the handling difference is amazing.

MAD matt-sab

like that mate !!!
nice kit too !!
yes parts are so easy and cheap ish to get its great !!! lol
skyline front stoppers Ł60
stage 2 ND ecu complete Ł65
saab fmic with all pipes and brackets etc needed Ł50
goose was Ł150
front and rear strut braces Ł30
carbon boost gouge autometer Ł10
S14 rear LSD "auto stronger" Ł60
the list goes on but u get the idea.
cheap and a lot of car for ther money imo
yours was mega bargin ! well done !!

Stavros

Dont get a S13/S14/S15 LSD if you planning on any drifting, they suck as bad as Cossie and RST ones.

Regarding plugs, use Saab 9000 turbo ones, they same as S13 ones but 1 heat range colder, good for over 300bhp and about 20quid from halfords

Get the S13 NGK part number, think it ends in a 6, and get the same number but 1 grade up, making it a 7, possibly and 8, i forget, deffo not a 9/10/11 as they badass racing/rotory plugs.

MAD matt-sab

i have been offered a 1.5 way "nismo" diff but told its not nice on the road and would lock too easy on braking on the track.
saab plugs it is then,i will look into those asap thanks.


how much difference did your skyline brakes make to the 200 ???


they look lots better lol

MAD matt-sab

now i KNOW many wont like this update
but it is only my track toy !!!!







yes satin black wheels are on their way too !!!

fmic is here inc pipe run as is stage 2 ND ecu and walbro fuel pump !!!

Stavros

Cant imagine where you got that bonnet/roof/boot idea from, lol...









Looks smart tho.

1.5way diffs are nothing IMO, even 2ways are fine, all it means is there is some LSD effect on deceleration too, not much tho. With standard viscous diffs the car will never be anything but poop IMO, decent diffs makes the world of difference.

Never driven my car on the Skyline brakes, only did it as i needed to go 5stud for the wheels i wanted.

Meant to work well tho, so if your overpowering the stock brakes, it could be worthwhile.

MAD matt-sab

honest to god i have never seen those cars before !
but i like it !!
IF i get into the car and enjoy it its going the "top secret" colour gold and the satin black !
thanks for the pointers and info steve


as i have said before the red matt paint is shit !!!!!!
lol

MAD matt-sab

hers todays tasks completed. WHEELS !!
I will never have too wash them again









once the paints all dry i am cracking on with ECU,fuel pumap and FMIC
but the later will most prob be 2morrow
O and the boost gauge then too.

MAD matt-sab

here's todays update !






boost gauge done too.

MAD matt-sab

new ic and old pics





and the pipe run is even worse !!!
i have gained 3 psi with todays mods lol
plenty of room for the oil cooler though !

which is similar size to the oil I/C lol

MAD matt-sab

update time..............
ecu fitted as is Walbro fuel pump.
map checked and its det free and fueling is fine too,if a little rich
but at least its safe.






O its had a propper clean too,and about time
fooked off with getting shitted up just doing simple jobs etc.

MAD matt-sab

interior has lost back seats,ALL carpets,boot trim etc etc
ready for a lick of fresh red hammerite i think just to tidy it all up
but didnt find any horrors etc
happy days
