My 1992 S13 Drift Car Build up

[Volchok]

So I started this in September of 08 and am almost finished with the build. I rushed into buying the best deal I could find on an sr swapped s13 chassis, and make it to VD07 and got the car a week before the event. Unfortunately it had a R32 front end on it, but It made it through the first even easily. It's not quite up to the caliber of some of the builds on here, but my main goal with this build was to do one event every month and work on the car between events. So far I have gone once a month since Sept 08, haven't missed one month!!!

here is the car as i picked it up, I rushed into buying it cause I had registered for VegasDrift 007 with no car and a week out I had to make a choice, the cheapest SR'ed 240 I could find, I was brand new to drifting and looking int eh wrong places, lol. found it on Autotrader.com

engine bay wasn't too pretty and it had a stock sidemount boosting less that 6 psi.

interior was classic ugliness

started the stripping process



picked up some seats for a pretty good price, should have bought one really nice one instead of two decent ones, but CFinch admonished me too late... live and learn , some say do it right or do it twice, i need to do it twice to really learn...My cat approved of the seat...

cage installed by Forrest Wang from Full Race, amazing work.



started painting the cage and interior, I am a big fan of rattle can, anodized blue all the way on everything,and I mean everything as u will see..



cage taped off painting the interior, rattle can of course...


much better all black

new hydraulic ebrake from powered by max

enlisted the help of Tommy Suell to install the hydro ebrake, I bribed him with Mcdonalds fish Sandwiches


finished product, very happy with it

finished interior


blew the tranny at JustDrift as I was missing the drive shaft loop. So I go t a new one and a B & M Short Shifter

put in a Kaaz 2 way LSD and got my suspension stuff in. Stance GR+ Pros and battle version all the way around. Tein tie rod ends and s14 inners. Need to go SPL soon for the tie rods, and do the steering knuckle mods for max angle, that will be soon also.

stock shit and shitty eibach sport springs on tokico bluse, sold on zilvia to get some money back

replaced with suspension hotness

front mount installed, can now boost 13 psi!

new turbo S15 T28

finally swapped the font end back to stock

and painted the car VegasDrift Blue...sparco hood pins and B magic aero all the way around, now I have a carbon fiber hood on but no pics of it.

car was great at Vegasdirft Primm

Pulled the motor to install new turbo, greddy oil pan and oil cooler, nismo motor mounts. Rattle can the engine bay, hi temp flat balck.


new turbo installed with circuit sports lines

oil cooler on



painted the valve cover

painted some Hannabi's I picked up from Smerf, thanks man, again rattle can

engine back in with painted intercooler piping, new z32 MAF and Greddy intake, new pulley kit on,
new fuel injectors installed, fuel rail painted cause I can...seem to never run out of rattle can paint

ECU installed. Got the new Circuit Sports Downpipe on. Meagan test pipe, and HKS Hi Power Exhaust all on





installed sensor for AEM wideband

and finally got the subframe spacers on.

also I got the rear stainless steel brake lines and clutch line on. I am going to z brakes after this event so I didn't do the fronts. I am hoping to get a little better response on the rears with the hydraulic ebrake now.




thanks for looking, see you at VD10 first event with the T28, 550's, Blitz SBC I-color boost controller, and Enthalpy Tuned ECU, 16 psi!!!! Oh man I can't wait...
