my s13 build:) KA-T FTW - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

robunicu · 12-17-2008, 08:19 AM

So many people on here know and met me before but not everyone knows the coupe. and since everyone and their grandma has a built thread i decided to join the bandwagon. not the craziest build but its my quest for happiness so bare with me

so i bought the car last year in november from some1 on tamparacing.com

had a blown ka and needed a lot of body work witch i didnt care since this was supposed to be a drift beater and slide it into every pole i c

so after swapping ka's and stripping the interior and fixing all the lil shits that was wrong with it i got some coils

Then I got me some advans and was hitting up car meets

then i slid the car from time to time on the streets and got a hang of it. my fresh KA was taking a shit on me so i traded motor/harness for sil front.

got a new organ donor for the new KA 80k awesomness

then had to get the car all one color and white seemed like a good idea. so went to lowes and got some exterior house paint and a roller and the car was white in no time.

after some more street drifting, i hit up the track.

then started gathering parts for the ka-t swap

After a lot of debating i went ahead and got this (BN replica kit. with brick headlights and cornerlights and GTR grill)

test fitting

i still need some good wheels to pull it off tho. this are too small.

then i just couldn't take it w/o boost. N/A was just killing me, so the motor had to come out to be preped for boooooosssssst.

relocated battery to trunk

and the car was naked

I forgot to ever update

Nice Project coming along

ChiSleepyEyes · 12-21-2008, 12:54 AM

needs more cowbell lol, but overall very impressive!!! i cant wait till i see more!

silviachik420 · 12-21-2008, 01:18 AM

You need more zip ties!!!!

w0nderbr3ad · 12-21-2008, 07:33 PM

fitment is good w/ your bumper. good start. keep it up.

180sxdrifter · 12-21-2008, 07:54 PM

what are you planning to use for tune?

SoCal-s130 · 12-21-2008, 07:56 PM

Uras replica bumper.

5150Fab · 12-21-2008, 08:08 PM

yikes, what is that an ssautocrome manifold. I would look for a cast turbo manifold or somthing, that thing sucks. It will crack. Expecially with heat wrap, keeps the heat inside mani.

Otherwise looking pretty cool. a lot better than how it started thats for sure haha. glwb

RastaS14 · 12-21-2008, 08:27 PM

builds looking good so far! though that bumper is huge and gaudy

Marcus · 12-21-2008, 09:39 PM

pinky121388 · 12-21-2008, 11:59 PM

Nice build so far.. lol Those Nismo or Sard 555cc injectors?

lflkajfj12123 · 12-22-2008, 01:05 AM

NOT bn sports.....

uras knockoff

and....

you're gonna melt your zipties, BRO.

Exas Spec D · 12-22-2008, 01:19 AM

I'm guessing those zipties on the heatwraps are just temporary till you get metal ones.

robunicu · 12-24-2008, 02:14 PM

hey guys. took forever to get this thread approved. thought they denied it. wtf

well yes, i bought the kit a while ago and didnt use it and forgot, it indeed is a uras type 4 knock off. fitment is pretty good tho'.

the heatwrap was just to see how it looks but no heatwrap on now.

this car has been trought a lot hehe

as far as tune. mr Scott from RS enthelaphy will be tuning this biotch so im sure it will run right.
