Gotta love a clean build, car looks great.

Little update since my last post,

Car was in Tuner Evolution at the Philadelphia expo center about 3 weeks ago.







A tiring 3 hour drive each way. Almost made it home when my radiator sprung a leak. later found out it was due to my fan slightly rubbing into the radiator over time. I went ahead and replaced my Mishimoto radiator with a Koyo radiator. Comparing quality the welds are definitely nicer on the Koyo and the quality does seem slightly better.





Also picked up a TRD radiator cap to replace my old worn Mishimoto cap.



Lastly some pics from a photoshoot with my friend.





















Next plans are just to prepare the car for H2Oi this year. Hopefully my new wheels finally arrive from being built, Only been 16 weeks… Then i plan on really completing the car to get it Magazine ready…

[wiring specialties]

Car was featured inside the Indoor VIP section at the Clean Culture season closer OC Fair Takeover On 9/21.





Here's a picture next to my buddy with his Kouki 2j S14







Just got back from H2OI in Ocean City, Maryland a few days ago. Very fun weekend spent with my girlfriend and friends, pictures from that coming soon. Season is now pretty much over, its about time for me to tear down the car. There's many changes in store this winter for the 2015 season which include cams, new turbo, going twin scroll, more boost, as well as interior upgrades, exterior upgrades & My wheels, after 18 weeks have finally arrived. unfortunatly the day after i left for H2OI but its okay. It gives me time this winter to polish the faces. Here's a little peak at the new wheels…

[vJilly]

FUCK YES FUCK YES. those wheels are perfect.

Thanks man, i gotta find the alignment sheet i don't remember off the top of my head but its not that effective when it comes to WOT. 225/40 front and 245/40 rear with the camber 1/4 of my wheel isn't even touching and i can't take out anymore neg camber without rubbing, however cornering is pretty damn good. Came off a sharp exit ramp at like 75mph while braking could have sworn the car was about to slide off the road into a ditch but it held on. But i sold those wheels, don't need 2 sets of aggressive wheels. functional wheels with close to 0 camber and more grip coming soon

thanks!

So haven't posted here in a while. Since i took the car off the road haven't done too much. Started taking the car apart, sold my turbo, injectors, and began buying some of the parts on the 2015 list, LOTS of changes to come for 2015 season. Here is how my motor looks at the moment.



Now that my old turbo is sold i decided to switch things up a bit, My car used to be a Lag monster so with the new upgrades I've really made it a point to eliminate lag completely. So far the parts i got checked off my list:



&



Precision 6266 Generation 2 Ball bearing divided housing.

Now with christmas buying parts has pretty much come to a stop. After christmas its back to knocking off my part list. Ive been taking apart my Blitz 03 to do something different with the faces, also going to be sending out my valve covers & cam gears.
I experienced horrible service with CZ Wheels for my Blitz 03's by the way so if you ever think about buying wheels from them definitely check out my review here first.

[Hoonigan19]

wow, love your 240 man

[2stepGoesPowPow]

Figured its time for an update since my last one was 4 months ago..

So the car sat in my garage like this for a while as i gathered some parts together.



Since my last post i got this 2005 Silverado 1500 LT, love it. Also got a car trailer and I've been putting both to good use.



Seen here towing home my 2002 WRX i just recently got, was going to sti swap it but decided I'm not ready for this kinda project. so now I'm selling it for $3250. [no motor, has V6 sti trans, full interior, new head unit, upgraded alarm, 108k miles, 1 owner, Greddy exhaust, Upgraded brakes.



So since my friend Sunny who did my intercooler piping and down pipe and all my existing fabrication in my garage moved to Texas to become a homeland security agent, i took my car to my friend Johnny who owns Silokin Auto in Bayshore NY. He fabricated my new turbo to work with my existing v-band intercooler setup like the old one was, New down pipe, new waste gate dump tube, V-band on the new turbo manifold for my Tial 44mm waste gate, and since my tubs began to crack he rewelded them and made up some cool gusset plates & lastly a catch can.









At the moment the car is back with my good friend Raul who does all the paint and bodywork on my car. He's touching up the engine bay, Shaving the holes for the heater core, A/C evap & Wiper motor since i deleted that stuff. Also a new windshield finally after it being cracked since i got the car over 3 years ago.



So while I'm now waiting for the car to be painted so i can take it back to my garage and put it all back together, The turbo housing and intercooler pipes are being Polished & Im waiting for my cam gears, valve covers & Blitz faces to arrive from Unknown Coatings in Utah. Meanwhile I've also mounted tires on my new RPF1's. Cant wait to test out my new 275/40 Nitto NT05's.



Also got a set of Tomei Cams, happy to finally have Tomei part's on my car again for the first time since my old SR20.



Also got 1/2 package's from Seibon.





Still waiting for my hood to come.
After much begging my friend Franklin who owns this fine S13 Silvia agree'd to sell me this mint set of Carbon Ganador's I've desperately been trying to get my hands on.

Franklins Silvia:



My Beloved Ganadors<3



So now I'm waiting to bring my car back home to get it all back together and back on the road. I wasn't able to attend my VIP spot at Fresh Meet Spring bash this passed weekend, however I'm trying hard to make my VIP spot at the Import Expo X Clean Culture event May 10th. As soon as i get the car home i plan on staying in my garage until it's done lol. Have to install this small mountain of parts:

[2stepGoesPowPow]

I brought the car back from from paint to start reassembly, Got straight to installing the new Tomei Poncams along with new gauges, injectors & other stuff.







Got some of my stuff polished by Nick's blasting & polishing in Staten Island:



So i worked my ass off to get the car put together enough to make my dyno tune appointment with Alpha from Induction Performance at M&S Performance. I barely made it lol. I had to spend an all nighter in the garage. The day before the tune i ran around all morning gathering the last minute parts and from 7pm-7am i was in the garage. So as the sun started coming up i finished and opened my garage door and drove the car out for the first time since last September. I was exhausted but i had to then load the car on the trailer and be at M&S at 9am. Once i got there an hour into tuning my alternator wasn't working, i swapped in a used one that was laying around the shop but it was just a blown fuse and the alternator that i swapped in was actually bad… so i had to put mine back in.. Here is a picture of my car during all this behind an R34 GTR with an R35 GTR on the lift above it, and a supra on the lift across lol:



Then after seeing this fully built twin turbo 350z make 1100hp my car was up on the rollers and Alpha got back to work on it.







Alpha did a good job as usual, My car made 565hp on Pump gas 93 & 600hp on e85 @ 20psi, I finally installed the flex fuel sensor and now i finally can use both pump gas and e85 i don't have to worry about getting stranded when theres no e85 pumps around since last year i ran strictly e85 which sucked on long trips where e85 isn't common.

I also got a few more goodies:





My Blitz 03 Faces, Valve covers & Cam gears also came back…. From being 24kt Gold Plated







I got to work immediately putting them back together, it took 3 hours of thread sealing and torquing down each of the 100 bolts.





They've always been my dream wheels but i wanted them to be different from any other set. Im happy how they came out and to be able to say I'm the first person with 24kt Blitz 03. Im going to add more pictures soon, the car is 80% finished I just need to replace seized calipers, leaky power steering pump, waiting on my Lexan glass for my Carbon hatch, Fix a crack in my front bumper and a few other small things. Here are some pictures from the past few days:

My RPF1's with 275 Nitto drag radials get awesome traction.

[Heywood Jablomie]

Wow. those are bad as fuck. Look like they cost $Texas

[taeisbeast]

Great build man. Good job!

[2stepGoesPowPow]

My car was featured in VIP at the Clean Culture X Autofest Stadium Showdown at Provident Bank Park. It was a really cool show they had cars parked all around the actual stadium inside around the baseball field and all around the outside of the stadium, I Also was awarded Best Nissan of Show.







[ Hood Was Open ]























I Just got my New Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers in the mail, i have to swap out my KTS Coils and then get the alignment adjusted. I got my Flex-a-Lite back glass for my Seibon hatch i have to get that installed then the car is finally Finished! after that i just need to add a cut off switch so i can play at the 1/4 mile

[K_style]

where in NY are ya?

[jr_ss]

Looks great! I like a super clean project like this. The NT05's are good tires, but don't expect traction until 3rd gear. I'm making 485/370 and 1st/2nd gears are useless with 285 NT05's. I'm upgrading to 275 drag radials and hoping they tame 2nd a bit.
