Looking good then matre, just go careful that the bottom end doesn't go like mine did, and my next door neighbours, and my mates... you get the idea!

James-W

Steve why dont you make another turbo out of wood.

James-W

Or another engine.

Stavros

i bet the bottomend (well the big end bearings) wont last that long.

but i also bet between me and a mate we could fit new ones within a day so not fussed.

PMSL@jhw worth a go

Slight update too....

Started putting it back together today ready for some drift practice at Bruntingthorpe on Monday...

Unfortunatley cause my mate didnt fuckin turn up i didnt get the fucker finished

Blocked/re-routed the turbo water pipes, binned some gaskets i didnt need, and its all back together barring the 4 manifold bolts underneath which i didnt have time to do.

Also finally got round to doing the camber- just set it to maximum negative
I think I over-did one of the 4 bolts on the drivers side strut tho, so its tight, but think its threaded itself
Slightly shocked the suspension is only held in place by 4 lil bolts anyhow

"Nearly" finished doing the sleepy eye headlight conversion, it might be a 5min job, but about 4mins in i decided to give up and do it another day, lol..

Sleepy eye setups always look cool, check i out, it can even almos make a Ford Probe NOT look like the gay piece of shit it really is

CasperR

I really wanna trade in my rst for a 200sx now. Soo many nice mods awailable, like turbular manifolds turbo convertions and just tasty mods.

big_wig_074

these ar nice rear lights mate!! on my new car,dunno if theyre late spec or what but look better than the ones in yours for some reason!!

Stavros

Mate, they the same rear lights with the centre part sprayed black, exactly what im gonna do when i can be arsed.

Gonna get some tint spray on the orange bit of the lights too.

Mine did cost 1/4 what yours did tho!

Tony Turbo

"Bodgeing" at it's best

Keep it up Steve


Boy, I love these motors now

CasperR

Tony: Tell me about it, you can get a turbular manifold for under 300 and loads of silly jap controllers and gauges to fiddle with

James-W

NEWSFLASH
Steve is actually tried patenting my idea but subaru have already done it so they didnt let him.
MMMMMMM those 4 bolts just didnt have time. Last time i rebuilt an engine i forgot to put a piston in do you think it will make a difference?

Escy

Steve, on the engine bay pictures you don't have the breather pipe that comes up at the back by the plenum connected to anything. its the crankcase breather.

ay up gepeto hows the wooden car coming along?

Stavros

what pipe?

only two breathers come from the cam cover from what i can see.

Where they usually go, ie to inlet manifold and to the turbo inlet pipe, i blocked off.

Andy- Not done owt in last week or so, cant be arsed, too busy

Dan

Sounding cool mate, get those fookin pics up lazy bastid!

Stavros

Wohoooo, update

Been out doing a bit of work, even tho its fucking chucking it down and dark
And no camera as its at work

Was time to remove my standard rear lights and centre panel...
All bolts undone in 5mins and centre panel straight off (ok, couldnt get the plugs off the reverse lights so i cut the wires Ill re-attatch em when done ).

But rear lights just would NOT budge
Pulled at them from the outside, nowt.
Hit them with a big mallet from the inside, nowt but nearly broke the fuckers
So had a real close look (hard in dark and torrential rain!) and noticed some black gunk, so got a crowbar behind em and wrenched the fuckers out.
Just like a chavvy croozers Saxo bodykit, the bloody things were held on with TigerSeal

Into the shed i go...

Oh looky, two almost empty cans of cheapo Satin Black paint thats been there for years
5min rub down of the reflective rear panel, then two quick coats of Satin Black, and job done, much cooler without that homo 80s relfective panel, and quite possibly the beginning of a DIY Satin Black respray frenzy

Oh what luck, a nearly full can of red light tint spray and some gaffa tape
Quick bit of taping up the red bits, then about 20 quick coats of red tint spray over the orange bits of the rear lights, and voila, red rear lights

Looks good so far, il get the camera from work maybe tomorrow and take some pics...

Todays mods give the look like Gregs S13, but my rear lights are more red...



DIY rules

DaveEscos

steve,

more updates on this shitter in one month, than over a year for your skyline

Stavros

cause the GTR is being done properly and takes time, this is being done with crap i find lying around, in the rain and dark, in the space of 10mins

rsnissan

iTrader: (9)

steve what fuel pump are you running?

Stavros

Standard for the min, only running 1bar, filter, zorst.

Front mounter coming v.v.vsoon tho (free )

rsnissan

iTrader: (9)

fancy a free uprated bosch internal that i ran in my datsun ? good for close to 500 brake i think.

will get you the details if your interested

Dan

AFPMSL @ that post!

Stavros

Righty then, some pics at last...

Decided to remove the rear spoiler and rear wiper as well as my DIY rear lights job, and the results are pretty cool i reckon...

From this-


To this-



Il take some more pictures when its daylight, but you get the idea

Be more updates this weekend as long as i dont spend too much time drinking...

Stavros

Another update!

Finally proper before n after pics of the rear lights...

Before


After


Also was given (i love free) an uprated in-tank he had lying around by RS NISSAN on here dunno how its gonna fit, im bit confused myself, but hey...


And finally, first part of my water injection setup (an intercooler aint gonna work very well when the car is going sideways), the proper high pressure version of the flojet W.I. pump.
Checkit, sooo WRC-tyte its signed by Colin McRae...

rsnissan

iTrader: (9)

respect...........coming along nicely
Fitting the pump on the datsun is piss easy (you cant use wood though )



you can see the stock cradle for the fuel pump here

i just cut the bottom of mine and clamped the uprated bosch one lower down in the stock cradle and that was it job done.

Stavros

I cant use wood? Damn, im stuffed then

Ive not looked at the std in-tank pump yet (or any in-tank pump, ever ) so i was bit worried how the fuck the electrical connections work without blowing the car to fuck as they will be submerged in the tank wont they?

Its prob really easy and obvious, but like said, not looked yet, was leaving the house this morning and postman had left the fuckin pump on the doorstep

Cheers again tho mate Random stuff from the office will be put in the post this afternoon

rsnissan

iTrader: (9)

yeah the electrics are submerged you need air, fuel, and spark for a fire the tanks air tight so no probs there

The stock one is the same..................................oh you have to cut the multi plug off at the end where it goes to the stock pump so you can just attach the wires to the bosch one

You will see when you get the old one out.........I was abit when i first saw one

Stavros

Good point, i knew there was 1 fatal flaw in my worries

Cool man, cheers for the help

adamS2RST

Dan

Lookin good Steve!

Stealth Bomber

You Pikey! Love it

AdamB

i cant see any of the pics in this thread, just the little photobucket logo's

Stavros

Wooo, pics back up

Il take some more pics before it gets dark

Stavros

New pics time...

The car is now SLAMMED, and im not joking either, checkit...







Also the front camber is adjusted to maximum negative, like a huuge amount, which gives the front a lot of grip when cornering so bang on for drifting.

Speed bumps are more than a minor issue with that lownes (i went over a full width one the other day and all could hear was scraaaaaaaaaaaape), but i dont give a fuck, from a performance (well drifting) perspective it feels good.

Looks shithot too

Went to an (almost ) legal drift practice sesh last nite, car performed brillantly, way better than expected, let few other drifters take it out too and they all agreed its shithot, so my DIY is kicking ass

Should have some fuckin awesome pics from that in the next few days too, I cant wait

Craigo

excellent mate, looks proper on its botty!!!!

big_wig_074

you went to that drift thing then?cool,get the pics up fella! no smoke at idle anymore i hope?you can show me how you fitted that pump when i see you next,i have one on order! and a turbo and ecu too!

Twins

iTrader: (18)

RichardPON

Is that a side exit exhaust?

Stavros

PON- Yes mate

Greg- Yea i did, no smoke anywhere now mate, you should see the 1way valves i used, i found em in the house so no money spent, they the bollocks, they worth about 50quid each too

You wouldnt believe the amount of abuse the car got and was totally mint.
I swear to god ive never thrashed the fuck out a car so much, span it bout 50 times, we had sparks coming from the rear tyres by the end of it

You should come next time, youl soon see the difference between a std LSD and a welder, there was 5 S13 drifters there, all of em had S14a LSDs fitted (ie better than a late S13 one) and they all binning em off for welders now, much much better.
This one guy whod been doing it for ages was better within 2 laps in my car than hes ever been in his own!

That said, you gotta be on gaurd 100% of the time once its done, as I have at least 5 accidental drift moments on every journey, the things a deathtrap
Best fun deathtrap ever tho

Stavros

Got a drift practice day at silverstone booked for a week on saturday, and also another like last site nite this sat nite.

And speaking of last sat, heres a pic of me from then.

The yellow arrow shows my direction of travel...
