Many photos have gone lost due to a host crash.
Here are some...

Not the latest but they'll give you an idea ;)

DEFTFORCE is da ****!

It all started when I had my drivers licence. I built my own dragster, a Cuda -70 with 1136 hp. Hemi Cuda -70 (http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/album/album.php?username=shogun&cat=6361)

It was an awsome adventure to be in control of this extreme machine, knowing I built it myself and have success at the races. Eights on the strip, lovely time it was but rediculously expensive.
Today I´m building an extreme street racer. Handling and brutal power in a nice wraping.
Even if I am building most of it myself, it is costing a lot, but it is worth every single Krona, Euro and Dollar. Luckily there are many good suppliers around the world who produce quality parts at decent prices. I have made many good contacts during the years.
I bought the car in 1998, it was in a very good condition and more important, the engine was flawless and without errors and only a few Miles on it, just to pay.
The first mod I did was 17" rims, lowering springs and adjustable Koni dampers.
After that some styling. Got in contact with Erebuni and together we found a package and named it Shogun. They still use my car on their site.
The engine needed an upgrade. Started with exhaust system, chip tuning, open air filter and increased boost. The result was rather meager, some lousy 200 hp. Nothing to chear about. I got an intercooler, a larger turbo and a manifold. Increased fuel pressure and a modified chip. Together with some other changes, the engine produced some 300 hp... Still not satisfied.
I sold most of it.
After a heavy research I started collecting high performance parts to make it 100%. Forged pistons, forged rods, new aftermarket control unit, injectors, turbo, manifold, large IC, water cooler, clutch, oil cooler, fuelpressure regulator, blow off valve, etc etc... Bosch Motorsports added high ohm 960cc injectors from their development department. It´s nice to have contacts.
Lots of things is needed to assemble a 600hp engine.
How will the gearbox manage all those horses and the hughe torque?
The original tranny dies between 300 and 400hp...
I have to make my own.
Said and done. I bought a Z32 tranny that without swetting manage more than 1000hp.
The bellhousing was cut off and the S13 flange part was TIG welded on. A special made prop shaft and a tranny bracket was made. Thats it! OK...a short shift on top of it.
Potent engine, durable tranny...but...gripp?
How to solve this?
Bought 18" Japaneese light weight drifting rims and really good rubber.
One of the better LSD:s on the market was bought from ATS in Japan and found its place in the rear axle.
Coilovers, adjustable link/rods made of chrome molly, ball joints, swaybars...there is a long list over all modified chassie parts and upgrades.
I mounted the brakes from a Skyline, both front and rear. The brake discs got some work and the wheel hubs was exchanged to 5-bolt version to prevent the wheels from escaping during acceleration.
The interior was modified with Sparco seats, 3" 6-point belts and some more, making it able to handle and keep full control over engina data and the car handling.
It is not an easy thing to create a monster kind of car but with time and effort it is possible, but not for free. For more information, have a look on my site. There are lots of pictures, both on parts and projects.
I look forward, summer to come
`Shogun´

It has been rather unclear what ARP-studs to use for the main bearing caps on the ca18det. I made an extensive investigation and can now confirm that the kit 165-5402 is a 100% fit.

Nice to see someone doing a high HP CA18DET build, great job...

[s14unimog]

Great work! Can't wait to see/hear this puppy running. I will be the first to say it, that kit & wing are terrible. I realize its a style but I can't support you on that.

Keep the pictures coming!

[coww-cho!!!!!]

Damn great build!

[stay ka]

:wiggle:

wow awesome build, it's nice to see more than just parts being thrown on too. cool to see the owner and their family as well.

Got a Seibon hood and I must say it is the best CF quality I have seen so far.

Awesome build but that body kit and wing are hideous.

thats the fugliest looking thing i have seen .
nice motor though

[jr_ss]

Definitely not diggin the body kit. You've done some good work though. Any particular reason you went with the CA vs other motors?

[shogun!]

Well,
the S13 had the ca in it from factory and I wanted to challenge it a bit.
It is a good motor that only needed new pistons, rods and bearings etc to withstand the power. The rest is things added to raise the output.

I have had the front thingy for about 10 years...
A tiny bird whispered something about "Works9" ;)

So I take it you don't need me to circle things? Lol.

Very impressive work. I'm curious if you could actually make those headlight covers work in your favor in terms of fitment and alignment.

Lol.
It has been very helpful. Now I could sell that Plywood board at a very good price. :D

I have test mounted the headlight frames and covers together with the lights and it is working fine. Some minor cutting in the plastic but no major issues.
The lights have adjustable holders to align the light beams and the covers doesn't create any shadows.

Thanks by the way.

[SochBAT]

To be quite honest, I think you should make a DIY diffuser with corrugated plastic.

Nice motor, but the kit, wing and tacky interior stuff make it look really ugly. Change all that and you will be fine.

[ryguy]

Awesome build, subscribed! I noticed some big A/Ts beneath the rebel flag, what kind of rig you got? And while we may not all agree on the style, I must say your car is very clean.

[SochBAT]

Well, the OP has stated he's getting shit in. i gave him shit before, i circled it and everything.

Really clean. NewZealanders (?) do it right.

Awesome build, subscribed! I noticed some big A/Ts beneath the rebel flag, what kind of rig you got? And while we may not all agree on the style, I must say your car is very clean.¨

Yes, Sweden it is.

The A/T's belong to a neighbour. He has got an old V8 pickup hes restoring.

[Somnambulist]

While's it's not my style, it is very clean.
I do love the motor build though, keep it up. And keep posting lots of pics.

Goddamn that is a baller house. More pics!

and yes please loose the body kit and wing... great build though

[Blown240sx]

700bhp is a lofty goal for such a small turbo and motor.

[CylonFrakker]

great build! I bet that thing will scream when you get it done!

[carnagexxxx]

Great looking car man! It wouldn't be Zilvia if a few jealous people (who most likely have cracked bumpers or engines with a crap tune) didn't express their unwanted opinions on a solid looking car. I'm actually surprised no one spouted obsceneties about the lady in the pictures...usually zilvians comment on that first.

Anyway, keep up the great work and I'll be interested in seeing any dyno numbers.

[anton1o]

Good work mate, keep it up.. Not a fan of the body kit but atleast it has the power :)

[shogun!]

This is how I rebuilt a Z32 gearbox to fit my car (200sx S13 with ca18det).

The good thing about it is that you can reuse the nice clutch you already invested in for your S13. I have a twin disc OS Giken clutch, bought for my S13 gearbox. Both gearboxes have the same dimensions on the ingoing splined shaft, release bearing, sleave etc. This makes it an absolute fit. The gear ratio is slightly higher. My car had before a top speed of 282km/h at 7800rpm. With the ratio of the Z32 gearbox and new tyres it will make aprox. 305km/h. Hope you like it.

Clutch: Same as S13 (clutch, bearing, release sleave, starter motor, flywheel)
Weight: A bit heavier because of internal dimensions
Length: A bit shorter (reuse the yoke from the Z32 and the rear part from theS13 and make a new, longer prop shaft)
Gear ratio: A bit higher (~5%)
Shift stick: Reuse the one from Z32 or buy a new short shift
Welding in cast aluminium: You need a TIG or go to a welding shop (sand blast the weld area to make it clean and easier to weld)

Z32 original gearbox from a Twin Turbo 1994

Disassemble the clutch housing (Z32)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df5ccd53.jpg
Parts to remove to disassemble the clutch housing. Not shown are the screws on the outside (remove), attaching the cluth housing to the gearbox.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df73b588.jpg
Remove all screws around the cover and carefully lift it off

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df75f7b4.jpg
Remove both snap rings and the stopper ring

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df603a9e.jpg
Be careful not to lose any important washers or shims

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df72cb27.jpg
Important! First remove the screw, spring and ball before removing the complete interlock assembly, the ball might fall into the gearbox.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6b27a7.jpg
Before you disassemble the clutch housing of the S13 gearbox, you have to make a centering device. Use a plexi glass plate (10mm) and drill a 16mm hole in the centre, put the plate over the shaft (snug fit) and carefully drill 4 small holes exactly in the centre of the holes where the gearbox is attached to the motor. Remove the plate and carefully drill the holes just as big to get the screws in

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df79149e.jpg
Result

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df7a4d24.jpg
Remove the clutch housing from the ca18det S13 gearbox. It is more or less just to remove the screws on the outside of the clutch housing, remove the cover and one snap ring.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df7b56c8.jpg
Remove the snap ring under the cover

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df5e4457.jpg
Comparision between the both gearboxes. One is useless over 350-400Bhp, the other last well over 1000Bhp and more.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df77bcd7.jpg
Use an angle cutting machine and cut off the flange from the S13 gearbox ca. 50mm, take it to a machine shop and have it grinded down to 45mm. Important to get it absolutely flat and equal all around.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df64edd1.jpg
Use an angle cutting machine and cut off the flange from the Z32 gearbox ca. 40mm, throw away the flange and take the rest of the clutch housing to a machine shop and have it grinded down to 355mm. Important to get it absolutely flat and equal all around.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6cdd30.jpg
Both parts after grinding, cleaning and reattaching the clutch housing on the Z32 gearbox

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df79149e.jpg
Put the S13 flange snug to the Z32 clutch housing and attach the centering plate with four screws

Side view

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df71929e.jpg
Top view. Important to align and rotate them like on the picture

If you do not own a TIG-welding machine, you go to the machine shop again and have it carefully welded together, both from the outside and the inside

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img483da0680add2.jpg

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6664d9.jpg
Reuse the shift stick bracket from the Z32 gearbox. You have to cut out some small triangles from it, bend it to a Z-shape to fit the S13 under body and then weld the cut outs together. (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df704a7b.jpg
The new short shift

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df7c606e.jpg
A small change of shift stick position compared to the original (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df6a6c29.jpg
A plate to cover the hole at the shift stick (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df678dbb.jpg
A bracket to hold the gearbox in place (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df62dac6.jpg
Aligning the gearbox with the rear axle. Put a steel tube in the gearbox, aim it towards the centre of the rear axle flange and find the final position of the gearbox bracket. (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df61a201.jpg
Side view (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df74bf2f.jpg
Front view (borrowed picture)

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img45ca2df76f1b7.jpg
The prop shaft. Mount the Z32 yoke in the gearbox and the original flange on the rear axle. Measure the centre distance between the loops in the yoke and in the rear flange. Use this measure and go to your local prop shaft supplier and have him to make your new prop shaft. The shaft rotate at about 10.000rpm at max speed so it has to be dimensioned for the forces and also balanced.

yeah what he said ^^^^..my build has been almost a yr but thats just because im broke ... any pics of the new aero?

[shogun!]

Device to correct the speedometer. Needed because of the different speed signals and gear ratio in the Z32 gearbox. It also handle changed wheel/tyre sizes etc. The sensor signal to the speedometer is handled to show the correct speed on the speedo. It also show the max speed from the latest run by pressing a button.

They are Bosch wires that I got for free together with the injectors from the development/racing department at Bosch Motorsports. I do not know if they are available on the market.

[PoorMans180SX]

Yes! Now that you have good aero, get this thing lowered and it will be the full package!

sweet thread, loving all the pics.

[SochBAT]

Dearest Shogun.

We demand updates.

Question. When doing your rear, why didn't you opt for Solid aluminum replacement bushings?

you seem to be going balls out anyways.

Do you need me to circle them?

[shogun!]

LOL

No new pictures atm matey but a short status repport:

* I have adjusted and fastened the front WB fenders in their final position.
* The hood has been adjusted aswell and has now hood dampers (the support rod is no longer in use).
* The Hood latch has been glass blasted and repainted and mounted
* Some of the gauges has been replaced (- AEM wideband lambda, + Autometer dito). Autometer Pyrometer (EGT 2000F).

I did not need to use solid bushings in the sub frame (and I am happy about that because of the nasty work burning out the old ones). The original shitty silicone filled ones are not damaged so I am satisfied with the function the spacers give. They reduce the play by 99% and still give some little vibration damping (as if some added/reduced noise should be of any importance hahaha!)

Oh! ... almost fotgott. I have moved the beast to a new nice garage without cardboard walls :D

Dearest Shogun.

This is how to change the wheel studs to longer ones (not my car on some pictures)
Remove the wheels
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10deacbaef.jpg
Remove the bolts on the backside of the brake caliper (socket 17) and hang it up with a bit of wire.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10df277df0.jpg
Remove the center cover on the wheel hub with a flat screwdriver.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10df77ad27.jpg
Remove the lock pin (replace with a new one)
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e0086adc.jpg
Use a pair of flat pliers, squeeze the legs together and press out the pin

Remove the centre nut (socket 32). The wheel hub will start rotating, use a long bar or equal between the floor and the wheel studs to hold the wheel hub in place.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e0c9d530.jpg
When the nut is removed, take out the washer placed behind it and pull off the wheel hub
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e110cdc3.jpg
Press the old studs out. If you dont have a wise or equal, you can hammer them out.

Please try to avoid using to much force when smacking them out, every blow will make small dimples inside the bearings. If you use a small sledge hammer One firm blow is better than multiple smaller ones. Support from behind is good to save the bearings.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e1e31319.jpg
Place the new longer studs in correct position (splines). Carefully knock them in a bit. Important that the splines are correctly alligned. Use a larger socket and a wheel nut and tighten till the stud is firmly seated towards the back of the hub..
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img46e10e264f97a.jpg
Clean all surfaces and put new grease on the bearing surfaces. If you plan to use larger brake discs in the future, it is a good idea to remove the splash guard behinf the brake disc before you remount the disc.

I do not want to mess around with lots of hard to reach screws and nuts so I looked around to find a good solution.
Thanks to Creatix[/URL ([URL]http://www.creatix.se)] I managed to lay my hands on a bunch of really good Stainless Steel V-band clamps and flanges. They make life so much easier eliminating the hassle with aligning bolted flanges. Easy to mount and dismantle.
I will use them on the exhaust system, the down pipe, the front pipe, the two wastegates and on the turbon :)

Lots of action in the garage.
The head is improved one step further.
To eliminate fuel surge problems and fuel capacity at the track and during heavy acceleration, a surge tank is installed together with two Bosch 044 fuelpumps.

Included with the new Kouki lights, I got a new and longer boot lock-assembly. I do not want to have more than one key so I made a nice and easy modification.
Here is how to do it. I made a small "how to"
Enjoy.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4b67ff11de367.jpg

[shogun!]

What will happen when the fuel pump in the tank will suck air instead of fuel?

This could happen when you are on the track or during heavy acceleration. The fuel is forced towards the side of the tank, away from the pump. Especially when the tank is not full. The air will be pumped into the fuel line, onwards to the fuel rail and via the injectors into the engine.

Most of the time this will cause a noticeable decrease of power and it may also damage your engine.

To stop air entering the fuel system, a surge tank / swirl pot is a very good solution.

I have tested a couple of designs and found two really well working versions. Which one to use is mainly a question of available space. Some install it in the boot, others in the engine bay. I will put mine in the engine bay.

If it is installed in the boot, use Teflon hoses. They are more gas tight compared with ordinary steel braided hoses and will prevent the smell of fuel inside the car. They are also resistant against E85.

To connect the hoses to the surge tank / swirl pot, use AN-connections. Usual sizes like AN-6, AN-8 or AN-10.

The installation is fairly simple. Remember the high pressure pump need rather much power and should be connected over a fused relay. It is recommended to use the ordinary pump power feed as relay control signal.

No. It is like stock. Free flow on the return line

Got a Haltech solenoid to control the boost very accurately at each load point.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4b6c3e37e1c8c.jpg

This is how it will be installed but with the exception that I will use two external Tial wastegate valves.

Make sure when you put the SPL tie rod ends on the car you use a lock nut on the bottom! The one you have on there will vibrate off. It comes with two different ones. The nuts with the taper are the ones you want.

I know from experience.

[shogun!]

I hope it did not go bad for you. Did it come off completely?

Thanks for the advice :)
The second one has a very strange thread and looks as if it is the wrong one. I will get another kind of lock nut if needed.

which lower control arms are those and how was the quality of them

[shogun!]

which lower control arms are those and how was the quality of them

They are made by Driftworks in the UK. Very well made. I just resprayed them since I don't fancy orange arms ;)

Here is a copy/paste from Driftworks homepage:

Product Information
The Driftworks Suspension Line. As used on our 2006 D1GB Championship winning 200sx.

Driftworks adjustable lower control arms with pillowball ends allow you to accurately set the track (the width of your wheelbase) of your drift/track car. They eliminate every last bit of unwanted play that a normal bushed lower arm would give you, by using high quality spherical bearings to replace the rubber/poly bush.
This means the suspension does exactly what you set it up to do, without having to account for the dark art how 'bush play' effects alignment.

On the front arms the use of the spherical bearing means that whatever you set your castor to (tension rod length), there is no binding from the inner bush being forced out of it's natural angle, when the tension rod pulls the front lower arm forward..

The adjustable steering bump stops allow you to set maximum steering angle for your car. Please be aware that the adjustable bump stop is a generic item, that may require slight modification to get maximum steering angle on your individual car, as Nissan use different knuckles with different cars. Bump stops are adjustable as the maximum steering angle position is set on an individual basis, as it changes with castor angle (tension rod length).

Easy to fit. Just measure the length of your standard arm, and use the tunbuckle adjusting system, to set these arms to the desired track width. These arms must be used with our adjustable tension rods. Please ensure you retain enough thread in the adjuster on the tension rod, as the wider you make the track, the longer your tension rod will need to be to acheive the same castor angle.

Our front and rear lower arms are an important part of the puzzle in any fully sorted suspension setup on a RWD Nissan. They are manufactured to the same extremely high standards as the rest of our suspension range, using high load Japanese bearings, and maximum penetration welding.
Do not confuse these products with cheap imitations that use dangerous bearings and low strength welding.

Picked up my new Tial waste gate valves from Svensk Turboservice yesterday. They came straight from the Tial assembly line in the USA.
Worth waiting for! They are the new, upprated version with integrated water cooling.
How small are they? I compared them with the earlier bolt on 38mm Tial WG and I can tell you. They are very small! Good! Since I do a twin installation and there isn't much space to talk about.
MV-S V2.0
This revamp features water cooling ports, three bottom air ports and two top air ports. Water ports are not required for operation, but come in handy at road racing, the top hat is close to the turbine housing/down pipe or when the engine bay doesn't get a lot of airflow. Air and Water ports are clearly marked so there is no confusion.
(mine are silver/aluminum coloured).

Yeah I have been heard a lot about the MVS, if you were to use the water ports, where would you tap for the source? and I assume the two water ports is water in and water out?

How about the air ports? hwo do you use them? Thanks for sharing awesome build.

How about the air ports? hwo do you use them? Thanks for sharing awesome build.

The MVS v2 has five air ports and two water ports.
(three bottom air ports and two top air ports).

My new turbo doesn't have any water cooling. There is as you know a water cooling system on the engine, used for the original T25-turbo and I will reuse that for the Tial MVS (with new piping). You are right, there is water in and out on the MVS.

Connection of the air ports will basically be like Tial suggest and I will use a Haltech electronic 3-way boost valve together with my new DTAfast ECU.

I have a bunch of different springs to install in the MVS and I will use a basic spring load of 1-1,7 Bar (14-25 Psi) and with the Boost valve the Max Boost will be set to about 2,5-2,8 Bar (36-41 Psi).

This together with all other tunings will result in some +700HP.

Today I made a major investment.

I bought a spigot bushing for a massive $8 :D

Part no. is 32202-7f401

For those not familiar with the term, the spigot bushing is a bronze sleeve bearing in the tail end of the crankshaft which carries the nose of the gearbox input shaft to provide proper alignment of the clutch disk.

Soak it in oil for a day or two before you install it. The oil penetrate the tiny holes in the bushing.

The old one is removed with a rod just a tad smaller than the inner diameter of the bushing and some ordinary grease. Fill up the hole with grease, put the rod inside the opening and tap it with a hammer a few times.

The rod will press against the grease and the grease will force the bushing out. May take some harder taps if the bushing is a bit grumpy.

Yes, for the sensors I use shielded twisted pair wiring to reduce interference.
For power I use ordinary low resistance wiring.

I have +12V, +5V, ordinary chassis ground, one separated sensor ground for normal sensors i.e oil pressure, temperatures etc and another separated sensor ground for hall sensors (CAS).

20 and 22 AWG

quick question, do happen to know if there is a difference between the 4 port and 8 port heads being interchangable...i know 4 ports dont have the butterflies, but im refering mainly towards block to head bolts, intake and exaust bolts assemblies... block gaskets?

I would say thay are the same except fot the intake side. The block is the same and so is the ex mani.

so pretty much the intake assembly, because i know the manifold sections are different (obviously) and actually the fuel rail is different spaced due to the 4port being centered opposed to the 8 port being offset i believe...

The best I can do since a complete head and intake is a bit heavy to transfer ;)

[DALAZ_68]

my biggest question...because im actually in the though of doing this...

Device to correct the speedometer. Needed because of the different speed signals and gear ratio in the Z32 gearbox. It also handle changed wheel/tyre sizes etc. The sensor signal to the speedometer is handled to show the correct speed on the speedo. It also show the max speed from the latest run by pressing a button.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4af272e1b4be2.jpg


how does this little gizmo hook up to ur wiring?!

any chance of you producing a wiring diagram from CA lower harness to this, and this to the Z32 sensors?

or were does it actually plug into...?

[shogun!]

I will do that kind of diagram a bit later on. In short the signal cable from the gearbox sender is cut and the device is connected inbetween.
No hazzle, quite easy job.

i cant wait...this transmission conversion has been on my mind for a while...now that theres a way to do it, and with everything working...i have no excuse not to...:2f2f:

damn you for taking my excuse :squint:

but thank you for pioneering this with the CA :kiss:

Some carbon stuff to make driving less heavy...or is it just a bling thing? :D

wait...so you dropped the PS pump to the lower A/C pump bracket?

[shogun!]

wait...so you dropped the PS pump to the lower A/C pump bracket?

Nope. I ditched the entire AC-pump, including the AC-bracket.

I cut off the lower part of the PS-bracket and then used fasteners to attach the remaining bracket-part to the block where the AC-pump sat. It was a very straight forward and easy job. The holes in the bracket are perfectly aligned with the threaded holes in the block.

Use a tiny rope and wrap it around the two pulleys to measure the length. Buy a new belt, mount it and adjust the tension. Thats it.

Chers mate and thanks. It's a complete set ;)

Awsome (but they are for RHD) and I have sorted a new doorhandle with switches from UK. Excellent that the door pocket is gone now when I have that full cage with double side bars :D

[Wes-s13]

very awesome ! sexyyy,glad to see you lost that bs bumper and got a good 1,and lose the wing its fugly,

[stunnaben]

I've heard that they wanna rattle creek and squeak a bit.

[tommytwo40hands]

I agree with HYPNOTIK... awesome build(and shoes), but the kit and wing take away from its full potential..other than that mad props man!

[shogun!]

Well guys. Thanks for your feedback, I will keep the wing since I need it for the high speed down force and I like it the way it is.

[S14DRIFTSPORT240SX]

Take the damn wing off! Its not a mitsubishi eclipse rice out!!!

[Izento]

Definitely my inspiration for building my CA! Most properly done CA ever! Keep it going.

[meas13]

Amazing Thread ,
Good to put ur car on Diet ;)

[nissanfreak317]

First of all, excellent work so far. This is a high quality build! I really like the attention to detail, and new bodykit!

Second, I am wondering about the wing. If you like the looks of it that is fine, it's your car. What I am wondering about is whether or not you have data on the downforce provided by that wing. You say it is for performance reasons but a lot of the time those wings are made more for looks than performance. If you haven't already looked into it, it might be a good idea. Also, Kognition might be someone to talk to about this, he custom designs wings for racing applications all day long...

Anywho, keep up the good work!!!!!

[shogun!]

I lived in Montpellier France some years ago and drove the car on the Germam Autobahn and also in France. The car maxed out at 282 km/h (175 mph)

I noticed a significant change in stability at high speed. The inverted upper wing is producing a very strong downforce and combined with the lower duck lip the drag is reduced (less turbulence).

I have tested it with lots of small woll ribbons attached to the body. It works very well.

Now, with the new and more powerful engine and the optimized chassis, it is capable of around 200 mph.

Another thing, the highway patrol here in Sweden would pester me every time they spot me if I put this wing on the boot lid (I like this wing a lot and wouldn't mind have it)

Looking forward to see the end results.

What a build. I just went through 8 pages that defined "Going against the Flow" never would I think anyone would pick an ca18, never the less great build. 2 things I ask of you. Make sure to post a youtube footage when completed and have major fun for me and the rest of the members here on Zilia.net.

[shogun!]

The original watercooled oilcooler, mounted on the engine block under the oilfilter, is sometimes creating a problem and has to be removed. It could be a problem with the function, available space etc. In my case the reason is a heavily tuned engine with high boost pressure. This create a very high local temperature rise. Let us call it a local thermal water explosion. This local temperature rise create a high local pressure in the cooling system and this could make the original oilcooler crack and cause a water/oil leak.

There are some ways to solve this problem, this is how I chose to do it:

Original oilcooler is hidden under the intake manifold and behind the alternator.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4aec91eb33a18.jpg

Original oilcooler. It is mounted on the block with 4 bolts.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec226a91fb.jpg

Here it has been dismounted.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4a47ca15eb3f7.jpg

A close up to show how it looks behind the oilcooler. It is important to remove all trace of old gaskets and paint. The mating surface must be smooth and clean since this is the surface where the oilfilter/sandwich plate is sealing snug and tight.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4a2d28d7dd300.jpg

In the centre you can spot the original stud. This is to be dismantled (twist it out like a screw).
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img483c3eb2535f7.jpg

Original stud dismounted.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec96b2766e.jpg

In Nissan FAST software, part 15213P is found. This part is only used on engines without an original oilcooler mounted on the engine block.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec8fb38a78.jpg

It is named "Stud, oil filter" and Nissans part number according to Nissan is 15213-W040A. I have ordered one and will test it to be 100% sure it is the correct part.
The valve I will mount in the filter holder.
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4cefaadb5ea62.jpg

Stud, 15213-W040A, mounted in the block (the four bolts and the gasket shall be removed).
http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4caec937bc384.jpg

Now you can select if you would like to use only a filter, an external oilcooler, a filter relocation kit or a combination with all of them.

I use them all.

Yesterday I was informed the new R-tyres are on their way and they should be delivered to me today. The flush fit wheel air valves have also been shipped. Soon time to get it all assembled and balanced. Exciting :)

I have that kind of valve on my other wheels too and they bring a nice touch to it.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4cb6ae8ac6716.jpg

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4875050524dd4.jpg

[shogun!]

It turned out very well with the flush valves on the new wheels I use for the R-tyres. Pictures to be posted after next round in the garage. I will have to remember to always keep the air fill adatper in the car from now on.

When the tyres were mounted on to the rims, they had to pump them up to more than 4 Bar of pressure. It sounded like a big cannon in the tyre shop. My poor ears...I wasn't prepared at all... at least not when the first tyre went on.

http://200sx.kicks-ass.net/shogun/img4cc32dbe49121.jpg

[shogun!]

Mounted some parts. It will be ok but as shown, there is lots to adjust regarding wheel alignment and I will also adjustthe track both front and rear. At the rear, there is plenty of Camber but still a slight gap between the tyre and the fender. At the front, there is also some space for adjustments. I will decide how much I want to slam the car when the coilovers have settled. The steering angle has improved with the spacers mounted on the inner tie rods.
