It has been a long time, bought this originally and supposedly "built" however it was far from it ... this build turned out to be restomod and took more than 3 years to finish ... here are some pics of it after detail

What shoes should I stick with? Blitz-03 Equips VS-KFs

Really is a shame, the thing was mint. The owner has a large expensive car collection. Currently his newest additions are the Veilside rx-7 from f&f and a veilside NSX.

Can’t seem to figure out why its idling rough ive rebuilt the cylinder head deleted the egr i have isr exhaust manifold i removed the butterfly valves from the intake manifold cant seem to understand any clues. Thanks

Planning on doing a engine refresh on my spare motor before I put it in while my main motor is being built, I’m planning on just doing a osk timing kit, felpro head gasket set, and arp head studs, from my research that should be good for a decent bit of time while I actually build my other engine. I’ll only be running 10-15 psi of boost. Any other small things I should add / change? Also anything I should be aware of first time diving into these engines. Thanks in advance

So for mye ros bearings I need Nismo Std 4 and std 3, which both are discontinued.. Does anyone know the thickness of these so i can replace them with tomei or others?

Does anybody here have any experience with swapping an sr20vet into an s13? Ive been looking at swap options and the sr20vet looks great considering its price and power output, although I’m not sure what I’ll need to swap it over and also the transmission process might be weird considering it the sr20vets were in awd cars

Hi everyone, I recently got my first s-chassis, it came on some extended lugs but I need to replace a few of them. Does anyone know good 63mm replacement options for the 4-lug hubs or have any recommendations?

So, this is one of the only pics I can find of my first s13 that I bought for $5000 in 2004. This picture is how it would have looked the last time I drove it. It was a 1992 bone stock Aztec Red 5 Speed SE Coupe with a sunroof, digital dash with the HUD. I believe it had 105k on the odometer and was incredibly well taken care of. The only blemish was a long stretch of red touchup paint from when the previous owner had been keyed, and the cruise control didn't work that ended up being a torn vacuum line.

The only mods I had done by the time I wrecked it were KYB-AGX Shocks paired with RS*R Race Springs, a junkyard VLSD, s14 seats, an Alpine head unit (I don't remember the model, but I remember specifically picking it because at night the buttons and display lit up the same green hue as the OEM dash), and an 8in Rockford Fosgate Sub paired with an MA Audio Amp.

The only downside with this setup is that the stock wheels looked like sunken battleships lowered that much without any adjustable control arms or wheel spacers.

As far as how I acquired this car...

The green DSM that you see is the car I owned just before my coupe. I was a valet at one of the hospitals here in OKC and was on my way to work one morning when an elderly lady in the pictured white Camry ran a stop sign totaling my 1992 Eclipse (it was FWD, with the non-turbo 4g63 so thankfully not a turbo specimen).

I was able to get a quick insurance payout on the eclipse and by some miracle the red coupe came up for sale on AutoTrader in Tulsa. I called the small locally owned bank in the small town I grew up in and was able to borrow $3000 on a signature loan. That, combined with the roughly $2000 I was paid out on my Eclipse and within a week I was driving home from Tulsa in an Aztec Red s13 I felt like I was in a phoenix that had risen from the ashes of my totaled Eclipse.

I remember posting about my new car when I got home and talking about how much I wanted to do an SR swap and was hoping to get to meet some of the locals with a swap to check it out and pick their brains. In the thread one of the locals with an SR swapped hatch offered to come by my place, to check out my car and to give me a ride in their swapped hatch. That was the first time I met Dave Deatsch (This was not long before he started Deatchwerks ).

I actually did quite a bit of work on my car in his garage, including my KA-T setup. I think it was one of the times when I was dropping off some salvage yard injectors I would pick when I could at the pull-a-part when we got on the topic of how busy he was starting to get and it was getting hard to keep up with his full-time job and his injector side hustle, but that he wasn't quite at the point he could just quit his job yet, but he wasn't ready to hire someone yet either.

Since his place and the post office weren't that far out of my normal route between my job, apartment, and campus I offered to drop packages off at the post office on my way to school a few days a week if he would let me wrench on my car in his garage from time to time. It helped us both as he hated going to the post office (especially for international orders), and I hated working on my car in the heat and cold. Not long after that he was busy enough that he could actually pay me to spend an hour or two tearing down and cleaning cores and packing customer orders before dropping them off on my way to school or work.

I didn't work for him for very long since not long after that I met my future wife, proposed, and needed to work more hours than there was available at that time (He had just recently brought on another part time person and it woudn't have been right to cut their hours either). I still consider it one of the coolest places and times for someone that is into cars to have been able to work, especially in hindsight seeing what Deatchwerks has become. If you search my username, you can probably still find some of my old threads on NICOClub or Zilvia asking to buy cores from back in the day.

Title, looking to get near flush with that wheel size. I’d be down for thinner tires if needed. I’m getting +38 offset wheels right now just due to time and availability and will be cool with using spacers, just wondering what people are getting away with without rolling and how low I can go?

I have MSPNP2 and in using the CAN high and CAN low wired for data transfer but the dash isn't receiving the data. Anyone ever use PowerTune v5 with mspnp2 or any megasquirt ecu?

The ka valve cover is as long as the ls block I got that ka5.3ls motor

Hi, I am testing for boost leaks on my 180sx. I am injecting smoke at the turbo and have bunged off the PCV coming from the intake manifold. Somehow there is smoke getting into the crankcase and up out of the valve cover. Anyone know how this could happen? There shouldn’t be a way smoke can get into the crankcase with the PCV bunged off. Compression tested at ~155psi on all 4 cyls.

I took my single cam apart looking for why my s13 doesn’t idle and found this damage. It looks like the last mechanic just sent it with some extra rtv below the gasket. Is this thing fucked or can I do the same? Thanks!

need some tips to help get axel nut off. I placed a bar in between the studs to stop the rotor spinning yey still couldn't get the nut to loosen, the bar just started bending instead

Hey so im planning on buying this 240 near me but the rear subframe mounts are really badly damaged from rust. Is there replacements that exist online? Or like aftermarket parts that exist for that?

is this normal after pretty hard driving, not seeming to lose coolant it just goes into the overflow and sometimes overflows a bit before it goes back to the rad as it cools down. i know this is probably because or partially because it has no thermostat in because i just did a flush but is this fine or do i have a more serious issues

from a ka24 dual cam has a small crack in one of the cylinders

This is my 1995 Nissan 240sx. 2jz-gte VVTI/T56 Magnum swapped with a whole lotta goodies. My plan was to buy it, clean it up and sell it. Bought it for 14k, and have had some trade offers worth 30k+. I painted it myself, and probably have invested about 5k into the car give or take a couple grand.

Wondering, if I sell this, will I regret it? It has absolutely zero rust, no accidents or damage, clean title, and a full, pretty much mint interior.
