My RB25det hatch - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hackbarthja · 03-29-2012, 11:39 AM

I know compared to most of the cars on this site, it's not much to look at, but i'm very proud of it so far.

This is how I picked it up, not quite a year ago.

Everything was mint, I was so impressed with the condition it was in for our location (Northern NY)

I immediately installed an ISIS cat back

Purchased some wheels and tires, XXR 527 F 17x8.25 R 17x9.75

Purchased an NRG Steering wheel with quick release

Got myself a fresh repaint and powder coated the wheels green

I also picked up a front aero lip

But after a few weeks, I got bored with it....just around the same time my friend was selling his motor, and r33 rb25det, so I said why not?

During the time of the swap I managed to get my hands on some 180sx seats from Japan, lower driving lights, and a new shift boot.

After the swap was finished, I just decided to leave it be for the rest of the season, and of course take some pictures...

At the begning of this season I decided to clean up some of the issues i had with the install, and so it begins. Remove and replace cheap intercooler/IC piping, cleaning the engine bay from KA grub, need to clean up the wiring mess, and little odds and ends job.

Nice man, i like it! RB'S <3

Hackbarthja · 04-20-2012, 06:38 PM

Received my intercooler piping today!

Also did some rearranging and fuel line cleaning up. Not sure if you can tell the difference in the pictures but youll notice if you look on the left hand side.

THEN

tw0fortysx · 04-23-2012, 07:03 PM

Feast Japan · 04-24-2012, 12:51 AM

Has come a long way, well done man.
What's a wheel powdercoat job like that worth? Looking to get a spare set done soon on the S14.

iWorstLuck · 04-24-2012, 11:50 AM

Not sure the worth, but it was $125 a wheel for me. Sandblasted, powder coated them a Nickel base, then a Candy Apple clear. Hard to tell in pictures but they actually have a gold misty flake to them when the sun hits it right

just wondering but how much did that rb set you back?

rgztmalv · 05-02-2012, 04:06 AM

that rb is sick.

Hackbarthja · 07-25-2012, 05:30 AM

Haven't updated much. To answer Canasion35's question, so far the whole build, car included, has set me back a bit over $20K.

Here are a couple updated pics.

Sold steering wheel, moved DVD NAV to my daily. Just waiting on my IC pipes to be fabricated to the PVP specs.

Your buddy kinda sounds like Oskar from Hey Arnold.

I like the style you've got going on with your car. I'm glad that your roof racks don't look terrible, because I'm looking for a set right now.
