Getting er done, again!! (56k hang yourself) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

BobbyBoy · 02-18-2005, 02:23 AM

So I had my car with an SR in it for a year. Broke off 4 exhaust manifold studs, and with a blown turbo, this happened. Everything black, the head, block tranny, wiring harness, vacuum lines, engine bay, everything ...

Then it was time for the yearly motorpull/cleanup.

Everything was sandblasted, and cleaned, then added a few parts, fixed the studs, rattle canned the bay, and got a few things sent off to the powdercoater. Oh yea and what it really takes to do an S15 turbo is, reclock air inlet, need new oil/water lines, or bend hard lines

, new oil outlet, or slot the stock T25 ones, new longer oil outlet hose, and the charge air outlet is now 45 degrees insted of 90, so the hotpipe need to be modified. I guess you learn by experience not message boards.

Other than that and a few other stripped bolts around the car, things weren't too hard, and everything was done at blu808's garage. Only a few things were done outside the garage. Tig welding done by Dan G. at DGR fabrcation in Santa Clara, and powdercoating by the guys at SRS refinishing down the street from DGR. Everything else was done by Luke and I. The powdercoating color is candy purple, but looks dark blue in the photos. In the sun, its like a black chrom velvety purple, you gotta se eit in person, pics don't do justice.

reefer1114 · 02-18-2005, 02:43 AM

im jealous. good stuff

sticky240 · 02-18-2005, 02:48 AM

what kinda spray did you use on in the bay? That powder coated stuff looks great

BobbyBoy · 02-18-2005, 02:50 AM

it was that high temp 1200 degree paint. I got it at autozone, becasue it was the closest color match. I went to the store sprayed each finger a diffent color of blue went home and that one matched the best.

sticky240 · 02-18-2005, 02:56 AM

haha, awsome paint matching technique

Thats funny as hell, paint match by finger. You rule, and your car looks great btw.

csdcowboy · 02-18-2005, 03:03 AM

dude, if you want, i'd totally trade you....

beautiful car

MakotoS13 · 02-18-2005, 07:10 AM

hell yes. yet another fine example of how to post hi-res pics.

the devil is in the details

Ian · 02-18-2005, 07:25 AM

hey, is it me or are luke's rotors red?

JaeTea · 02-18-2005, 10:54 AM

What digicam are you using??

Those pics are SICK!!!!

BobbyBoy · 02-18-2005, 12:00 PM

I am using a 5 megapixel canon S50 in auto setting on a tripod. Lukes rotors look red because of the reflecting light off of the red engine stand.

*MELLO*SOS* · 02-18-2005, 12:12 PM

Very nice photos, your bay cleaned up nicely.

I like the little touches, like the radiator brackets and strut brace brackets, pulleys etc. If you polished or painted/powdercoated your intake manifold it would look very nice

.

Makes me wish I had a good sized garage to work in

Except that message boards, specifically FreshAlloy, told me all of that years ago on how to install a S15 turbine onto a S13 SR20DET. :P

Or you can just use KAZAMA clocking plates, like me.. if you're lazy.

Anyway, good job on the car dude, I was going to comment that at least now, you can paint your engine bay, but you obviously beat me to it.

PS - Ask Luke how much he wants to powdercoat my SR valve cover black.
