First ride on my new sus

[hashiriya13]

Well I got my JIC coilovers and F/R strut bars today and installed them. So I took them out for about a 40 min run and I love them. I have had the Tein HA's on my last ride and they were good but these seem far better so far. I have them set at 10f/8r for the first test and its a harsh but the handling is awsome. And if I cared about the ride I would have gone another way. I am waiting on the FMIC to install the RB motor then I will get the rest of my suspension. But back to the coils these are great and cant wait to push them and see how good they really are.

NICE. You got any more info on that RB swap for your S13? Also you got a coupe or fastback??

[hashiriya13]

I have a fastback. The swap is beeing done by Mckinny motor sports because I live only a few blocks away and because they will ensure everything is in perfect working order when I pick it up. Also I have seen there work and there custom parts and both seem to be top notch. I will have more info soon on the swap when it is done. But like I said I am waiting on the FMIC. The motor is sitting waiting to be put in but it cant be installed yet. I have the greddy manifold and the FMIC is needed for the custom piping. I will post pics and maybe vids when its done.(maybe next week)

[hashiriya13]

Thanks and I guess I am luck. I will post picks when it is Finished. It should be finished thursday and on the road(by the way where mine is registered there will be no emissions)

Those JIC's are ill. Congrats.

[Warwick5s]

which RB are you putting in?


and - i don't know if you want to do this or not - but how much is the swap costing you. you know how it is...gotta keep my options open. ;)

i can't wait for this summer when i'll have some bl$ng to spend on the ride.

[hashiriya13]

Thanks. I love the JIC's well worth the extra money over some of the cheaper ones.

About the RB, Heres a list of what is going to be put in next week. I am getting it done by Mckinny Motorsports.

-RB25DET MOTOR SET
-MCKINNEY MOTORSPORTS MOUNTING KIT
-CUSTOM 1 PIECE DRIVESHAFT
-FMIC WITH CUSTOM PIPING
-MCKINNY'S ONE PIECE HARNESS
- ELECTRIC FAN
-GREDDY INTAKE MANIFOLD AND FILTER
-CUSTOM 3 INCH TURBO PIPING TO CONNECT TO MY APEXI N1
-5 LUG CONVERSION WITH SKYLINE RIMS
-GAUGES MOUNTED IN THE DASH
-JDM SILVIA VLSD
-JDM SILVIA GAGE CLUSTER

I think I missed some stuff but thats the major stuff. I am having it installed by them due to when the job is finished I wont find a blown motor, bad turbo, dead cylinder or any thing like that and from meeting them and being around thier shop thier end product is very high quality. Now about the price I cant really say but its not cheap. If you want a lower price go with the SR. But after tuning and to get those big HP numbers it may be cheaper to have the RB in the long run.

You're putting a VLSD in that thing?!!? Why not do it PROPERLY the first time, and put a 1.5way Kaaz/Nismo/Tomei/Cusco/ATS LSD in? :)

Why not do it PROPERLY the first time, and put a 1.5way Kaaz/Nismo/Tomei/Cusco/ATS LSD in?

I plan to but at this time that was the only option for me (I have a wife) At this point I just wanted to get the job done and have a LSD. I will change it later when I have (got more money) decided which one I plan to go with. I know I could have got it now but like I said I choose to wait for the better LSD at this point.
