Ok I am currently building a show/ track car and was wondering if there is anything vital that I missed while modding out the engine. I did pay people to do the swap(lack of time) but I am installing all the other fun stuff.
I have a 1991 240sx Hatchback SE.
Here is a list of things sitting in boxes next to me that I will add to the car....
Already in engine bay...

- SR20DET Blacktop

Needs installing...

-Skyline LSD
-Apexi Turbo Timer
-Greddy type RS BOV
-S13 Front Mount intercooler kit
-Dual Electric fan
-Garrett GT30R Turbo
-Apexi Power FC D-Jetro
-Tanabe Concept G Blue Exhaust
-Tien Drift Coilover Kit
-B&M short shifter

Thats about it for the engine if you guys can think of anything else that might be needed just let me know or just voice your comments.
I was thinking of an oil cooler but not sure.

Things that dont matter but I want to know what you think are...

Exterior...
-S15 front end conversion
-M sport front widebody fenders(30mm i think)
-Seibon carbon fiber hood
-silvia headlights
-Extreme Dimensions front bumper
-Chargespeed rear widebody fenders(50mm)

Interior...
-Mainly stock(with very good condition parts)
-Black pre-molded carpet
-Trying to decide on 180sx seats or something else
-MOMO Trek R steering wheel with short hub and quick release
-Last thing should I Rhino line the trunk? not sure

Just wondering what you think. I'll post pics of the build if you guys would like. :2f2f:

i don't think the shape of the s15 headlights are suiting to the body lines of an s13...

No, but it can look pretty good when done right on a hatch.

First off, pulling off a track/show car takes lots of money. Walls, rumble strips, going off track, curbs, you name it have been known to rip off front bumpers and sideskirts. So you may want to consider your goals/ideas in this matter.

But as far as your list goes, I think it would be easier to just go with one brand aero. I would suggest Origin lab or version select(www.tougefactory.com, www.i-m-racing.com), as they have what your looking for instead of trying to mis-match a kit togather. For the S15 front your going to need S14/S15 hood hinges and a S14/S15 front radiator support also.

For a track car you are also going to need a few more suspension pieces(www.splparts.com) and I would just go with a set of Megan street coils instead of paying an arm and a leg for the tanabes. This is all just my opinion though. :bow:

Both an S15 front and S13 headlights are going to be an interesting combo. You want to pick just one.

As for your goals, sounds like a wish list from the magazine you just jerked off to.
Having both a track and show car requires triple the amount of money for either avenue since you're either cleaning up shit more or repairing damage you've done. Honestly I think it's retarded to try and do both, but then again I also think the idea behind a show car period is pretty fucking stupid. It's a car, drive it.

you need to take your exterior mod allocated monies and finish the motor first.

Ok to answer a few comments, yes I already have an upgraded fuel pump, and larger fuel injectors, I am not putting on S13 lights with an S15 front that would be idiotic. I said silvia headlights. Unless the S15 is somehow not a silvia I meant S15 lights.
Sorry for the confusion though, I did not mean track and show car I meant that I am building 2 cars both identical. One will be a track car and one a show car. I only mentioned the major mods though should have listed all the little things too.
and no I do not get anything from magazines:hsdance:

although your comment did not even match what I asked people to write about, to respond to it yes, one of the cars will see a track and one a show. I am not just some guy people. My shop will be building the track car while I wanted to do the other project myself. If you want me to post pictures to prove it I would be more than glad to.

if you are not just "some guy" and own a shop, why do you have to ask people on a forum if you missed anything? i would never want to take my car to a place that has to ask others if they missed something :keke:

You missed one thing:
The part where we give a mad assfuck.


We have a picture thread and you have mods that people have had for years, no ground has been broken here, this thread fails.
