Pretty much..

1990 S13
-Cusco coilovers
-Welded diff
-Exhaust
-Short shifter
-180sx tails
-SE wheels

I have a S14 KA with full swap waiting to go in, just got to pass inspection in the next few days before I can swap it. I'll be updating this post as more progress is made.

This is her when I first picked her up

UGLY interior.
I removed the tach, swapped steering wheels, swapped in S14 seats, did the headunit wiring, removed the nasty cloth on the door panels, had my gf make me a banging bandanna shift boot and cleaned the **** out of everything.
http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/30/l_88883424cca5435f83211c53ebd5995f.jpg

I ended up swapping wheels with my friend which brought me here

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/17/l_829232f6641148a0b6d82ec5e3f9ee2a.jpg

After that I pretty much had mix matched wheels from drifting and constantly going through tires.

What I'm hoping to buy soon..
-Full turbo setup
-Fmic
-Injectors
-Enthalpy tuned ECU
-Wheels
-Aluminum radiator and electric fans
-3" turbo back exhaust

And lots of other small **** here and there. Just need to find one of those things they call a job..

Then I did a wire tuck

Also swapped in a new auto seat belt system on the driverside because mine was a piece of **** and broke. No more having to buckle 2 belts everytime! lol

Also got a washer bottle because it's annoying as hell having to stop to clean my window.

Here's some of the dual cam swap parts. Also got nismo engine and tranny mounts and a **** ton of other stuff that's at my dads house right now. I should be going over there soon to bring my engine and tranny here so I can paint them and do the swap.

This is my audio setup so far. Still need to find an amp.

Then I relocated my license plate. I always hated how it looked in the middle and the big ugly mounting bracket.

Then I did some work on my hatch, cut out the rust, glassed over it and threw on some filler. It looks a lot better now that I leveled it out too, I'll have to get some better pictures soon.

A quick photo of some more parts, S13 dizzy, cluster, wire harness etc.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2470/3749831709_fbc2cd98ef.jpg?v=0

Also got S13 cams
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3502/3750622036_8b6a25ddc6.jpg?v=0

Nismo engine and tranny mounts
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3750622286_685cf0bdbf.jpg?v=0

Starter, PS lines, etc.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2632/3749832485_1770235e44.jpg?v=0

Starting cleaning my tranny too, still got more work to do on it
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3749832871_513dea1733.jpg?v=0

Brand new OEM throwout bearing assembly
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2634/3750623276_59646c0538.jpg?v=0

I went through my whole harness replacing all the damaged connectors with new ones off my donor harness
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2544/3749833587_aa2a4acdf8.jpg?v=0

Then I worked on re-wrapping the whole harness

The aftermath, lol
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3433/3749834743_f9613c90b1.jpg?v=0

Here's some quick snaps of the S14 KA waiting to go in

Tucked the harness, looks a lot better this way
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3750625554_83e00748ec.jpg?v=0

When I had the intake mani off I noticed the head was ported and the valves looked pretty new so I decided to pull the valve cover off and check out the head. Looks pretty clean

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2504/3749837459_7b52a40fbb.jpg?v=0

While it was off I decided to paint the valve cover. Started by getting it down to bare metal
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2598/3749837809_b779439e55.jpg?v=0

Followed by some primer
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2452/3749838167_280b2ce103.jpg?v=0

Then black..
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2487/3750628660_9c307efa41.jpg?v=0

Anddddd some red, since that seems to be the theme with the car lol
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2608/3750629060_1b919c3587.jpg?v=0

I actually painted the S13 DE valve cover first, not realizing the heads are different between s13/s14. So I did the S14 one and ended up selling the s13 one to my freind.

Here's the finished S14 one, needs a little touch up here and there.

And on the engine, all buttoned up and ready to go in

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2670/3750631586_218e784c6a.jpg?v=0

Then I got the car up on jack stands and started tearing her apart

I also got the bay cleaned, not the best but a lot better than it looked.

Here's the most recent shot of the hatch, needs another small layer of filler then it's gonna get blocked sanded and primed.

Quick shot of the short throw
http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/95/l_8d47822392c44d139f4855e8c6f04fdf.jpg

Also, anyone know what kind of clutch this is? Came off my single cam, and it was actually a decent clutch, just trying to figure out what kind it is.

That's about it for now. Currently the engine does not run because I'm not getting spark but that's a whole other thread of its own.

Build threads:
Almost everyone enjoys building their cars and sharing that experience, as well as checking out others' builds for inspiration. Sadly, far too many users have a tendency to do half-hearted builds and either rarely update or update with trivial progress. In the interest of keeping the Chat forum clear of three hundred 'Install SR, ziptie aero, rattlecan paint' threads, incomplete, or in-progress build threads are not allowed. If you have completed your build, wrangle all those pictures into a post and tell us about it, but make sure the build is finalized. If you insist on having an in-progress build, Premium members have a specialized subforum for that specific purpose.
