update time!
car is running alive, well and quiet.. did all routine maintenance on it. only "mod" at the time was installing a hallman v2 mbc. it holds good boost and doesnt spike or any of that nonsense. picked these up from 90hatchie for 350 with the lower garnish and already wired up ![]() getting all excited and impatient i threw it on and mocked the wing up.. knowing that i need to get a bumper now! ![]() i went to freedom moves and saw my future if i went ka-t LOL. apparently they got this running by the end of the night and the next day it lasted about 4 runs and did the same thing. ill keep my sr :] ![]() couple of weeks later i got my heat shield powdercoated so i put it on ![]() finally threw out the ka and sold the trans ![]() absoluetly no oil in it and all of this summers rain inside ![]() next little project.. nyc plus stiff coilovers= chassis cracking -__- sprayed some stuff in it and took it to my friend chris to get repaired since i have no welder/nor experience ![]() ill try to find the pic but he filed it down.. tacked it and threw a plate over it.. good as new. but we soon discovered more headache. vvv welllll this wasnt there when i bought the car last year. ![]() cut out, fixed, sealed shut and now my car doesnt smell like wet dog ![]() prob the most recent pic but now it started to crack somewhere else ![]() but anyways, back to business ![]() i got rid of the electric fans.. less headache. i had a stock sr fan clutch laying around and bought the shroud brand new.. looks so much better imo ![]() 2 days later the coolant return hose started to leak, but fixed it ![]() chillin at work.. best friends LOL ![]() from here the car goes into another "chill out and drive mode" till i find something else to splurge on and make the next step. i got a innovate wide band and sold the sparco steering wheel i had for a 350mm personal steering wheel.. ill try to get pics of both tomorrow since i never really got any actual pics. did a little shoot w my friend before i made some changes ![]() ![]() but like i said, the car can only go up from here so the wheels went bye bye and so did the bumper ![]() got a great deal on a bumper, position lights, bumper support, foam, extensions and turn signals. ![]() picked up a lip from 180sxdrifter and prepped everything for a a semi decent maaco job ![]() off topic but i had a jdm tach that was like retarted, so i kept my stuff but swapped faces... the odometer still reads in miles not km. plus i swapped where the gas light is just because it was cool and has that toaster thing LUL. ![]() ![]() ![]() the wing is painted also which maybe this week i can get it mounted.. along with some other goodies.. hopefully i have some updates for you guys this week |

update time, its finals week so ive been a tad busy.. enough with the excuses and gather round for story/pictor time!
so yeah, the xxr's were sold and i was riding around with the coilovers raised all the way for a while, it was actually fun since i didnt need to dodge anything and the car was soft. the main reason i sold the wheels was because my friend had his works which he was planning to sell so i was going to get them but obv im 4 lug. so i was in search for just a simple 5 lug conversion and just get s14 5 lug rotors blahblah. wound up finding a set for cheap and someone else wound up sending a payment 30 seconds before i did. so stuck for lik3 4 days without funds i found a complete 5 lug conversion with front and rear z brakes with drilled and slotted rotors for 350. awesome deal and a few days later i got em. ![]() ![]() mitsubishi. wtf..? wound up being that they werent z brakes but rather 3000gt vr4 brakes.. which happen to be a rebadged r33 skyline gts-t caliper so basically takes the same rotors and pads as a z32 tt. should i keep the mitsubishi for lulz?? ![]() i really dont see the need for rear z brakes and all but for the price i got this stuff for.. why not ![]() funds were short for a little bit so this stuff collected dust for a tad till i got the wheels. finally i couldnt wait anymore.. the weather was getting colder so i decided to atleast do the back since i need a spacer for the s14 spindles ![]() stupid contraption ![]() ran into issues with this thing hitting my rotor. after i spent all day freezing my ass off the car refused to move after i installed all of this resulting in vvv ![]() fixed :] ![]() two weeks ater these came in. time for fronts ![]() ![]() straight forward install.. this weather sucks ass tho here in ny so it wasnt fun working in the dark ![]() slam slam.. i chickened out and shaved the letters.. didnt wanna g3t fl@m3d y0. ![]() wing mock up after paint, been really lazy to put this thing on. ![]() and test fit. my friend has some giant 265's these things and i got no money, so i gotta make it work. im def gonna run a 225/45 soon if i dont trade these for a secret set of wheels that i dont wanna spoil if it all works out. ![]() i got some clear side markers and there you have it. these are the wheels. work stich mesh 17x8.5+5/17x9+10 ![]() if i dont trade these soon the goal is to get these wheels refinished to be like my dream car that i have posted up on the 1st page. i wanna go lower but i want to enjoy this crappy frp for atleast a little bit. plus this happened already. gotta love nyc. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
