NME-S14 · 07-26-2009, 09:47 PM

ohmyfuck. i need to see it rolling.

jon_mr2 · 07-26-2009, 11:07 PM

so, just putting small stuff back one peice at a time.

im so glad this obx header fit, i have been reading some threads on here about how they are super close to the steering linkage and stuff...

installed the one piece driveshaft, fit perfectly.

lol, thats where i put the oil catch thing...

bardabe · 07-26-2009, 11:29 PM

Looks pretty good man way to go!

93nismo · 07-27-2009, 01:20 PM

i ahve an obx header and its pretty close... more then enough clearence tho. my only issue is it hits my floorboards... makes my feet ssweat and probly makes my carpet burn judgeing from the stench it gives me... lol

JVD · 07-27-2009, 01:49 PM

This is crazy!

Really clean build dude.

jon_mr2 · 07-27-2009, 09:52 PM

my obx header as well hits the floor board right before the resonator. i ended up hitting the floor board up a little just to give it some clearance. or maybe its those damn nismo motor mounts making the engine higher... lol

DAMN...lookin vicious

s13dan · 07-28-2009, 06:03 PM

wow just incredible. I love to see this kind of care put into an s chassis. Looks amazing keep it up.

I hope the obx headers can hold the heat ok...

Coolwhip · 07-31-2009, 10:51 AM

sick build. But yea, double check your mounts to make sure they're not swapped left to right. If so they'll end up mounting the motor a bit high.

93nismo · 07-31-2009, 11:15 AM

its the mounts for sure. ive got em on my s13 and there notorious for makeing the engine sit high. im pullin mine out to wrap it probably tommarow so maybe ill do something about it... lol i unno im not too concerened about it to be honest

KeepItAuthentic · 07-31-2009, 03:20 PM

Just went through all the pages, its a beautiful build no doubt. cant wait to see that sh!t finished! good work man

well, according to all the other threads i have read on here and the internet, seems like the way i have the mounts now are the correct way and either way will sit higher than stock. im just going to go with it and modify the hood if i need to.

93nismo · 08-01-2009, 02:50 PM

theres still more then enough hood clearence

only issue is the floor. but thats kind of a watever thing ya know? ive got mine off and im wraping it. i acctualy just checked up on here to see how u had them wraped and if you used clamps or adhesive

i dont think i ever said it was a nice build btw... lol i feel like jackass. the cars beautiful man

im doin all the body work to my 93 coupe this year at school. then ill do all the engine stuff afterwords. moneys a bit of an issue tho. so i unno. but youve done a great job man

looks awsome

rps13ka · 08-01-2009, 04:51 PM

wow im amazed at the effort you've put into this chassis. going as far as even repainting the entire chassis from the inside and under, this can will look nothing less than amazing after it is complete.

all i used were clamps, no adhesive for the exhaust wrap.

money is always an issue, but with enough "want to do something" you can do it.

but yeah, speaking of spending money... got more parts, lol.

now i can put the exhaust on, fill some fluids up, and try out these ramps.

93nismo · 08-02-2009, 11:36 AM

ya somebody told me something about some adhesive bullshit but i dont even understand how that would work... i used pipeclamps. seems to be fone for now. and i beat on my floor with a hammer till it cleared. i used a flashlight to make sure

your build is very inspiring. it makes me want to start mine lol but i cant, lack of tools and experiance says i have to wait another month lol

edit: just drove my car after wraping the hearder. the wrap smoked like a mother fucker. but apparently thats normal. i did feel a difference in the engine bay temp, however even with the floor pounded up a good cm from the pipe and the pipe being wraped it was still quite hot on my foot. i did not feel a power difference like the box said i would, however i dident think i would. anyway. sorry for the threadjack if thats what this is. just tellin you what happened

Fonix36 · 08-02-2009, 01:07 PM

just read all 14 pages this is sick as fuck mad respect man

jon_mr2 · 08-02-2009, 09:34 PM

exhaust bolted up! fit perfectly

everything else underneath tightened... i dont like using flash, but i couldnt see.

brake/clutch lines organized again, stuck the coolant reservoir on, and got new moonface drain and fill plugs for the trans and diff.

just need to finish sanding and polishing the intake manifold, then i can put everything back and start the car up before i rip out the wire harness again to rewire/tuck.

killer240 · 08-02-2009, 11:16 PM

this is some good shit.. keep it up

93nismo · 08-02-2009, 11:58 PM

god thats so clean... i hope mine looks like that when im done

Sergio180sx · 08-03-2009, 12:07 AM

silly_13 · 08-03-2009, 12:33 AM

tprsilvia · 08-03-2009, 02:02 PM
