Club Sandwich S13 from Illinois

[Nicg90]

Sooo here it goes my first ever build thread. Ive had many cars and been on many forums but have never done a build thread.

So I purchased my 240 on august 13th of 2010 in milwaukee. The car was completely bone stock except for an awesome cherrybomb glasspack as a muffler, Sentra wheels and an alpine headunit and amplifier along with some JL Audio speakers that suck.

Heres the day I picked her up

First thing I did to the car was by an exhaust. I bought DC sports headers, Megan racing 3 inch test pipe and a 3 inch HKS Hi power catback.

Then I bought some Stance Gr+ coilovers

Ordered some cheap affordable wheels and tires.

XXR 513's 16X8 0 offset, Wrapped in Falkens 195/50/16
It took me a little while to get my wheels and tires on the car because i was busy with school and work but in the mean time some body work got done.

Spoiler was removed and holes were filled.

Hatch was painted and roof was painted black.

Finally i got around to putting my wheels and coils on. Ride height was not permanent but until i got my fenders rolled I didn't want to go any lower.

That is where the exterior mods ended for the time. On to the interior.

Bought a Parts Shop Max drift button and acquired the weirdest most comfortable dirty shaped shift knob ever from a friend
http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/37157_1649256114997_1344787105_1696145_6541956_n.j pg

Bought a BRIDE VIOS III Low Max and buddy club rails.

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_4594.jpg

Then went on a black friday shopping spree at Touge Factory.
-OMP Corsica steering wheel
-NRG quick release and short hub
-Nismo motor mounts
-Hawk HP plus brake pads

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_4647.jpg

then it sat in my garage till i got motivation to buy parts.

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_4363.jpg


Sooo then my friend had to go to Touge Factory to pick up some stuff. I being the nice guy asked if he needed a ride. Then the next thing I knew I was buying these

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5266.jpg

Put her up on jacksands and got to work

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5279.jpg
http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5278.jpg


Bought some new wheels. Cheap and good looking
17x9.5 +15 all around

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5318.jpg
http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5322.jpg
http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5320.jpg

I test fitted my wheels a while ago to se what I was getting myself into
http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5336.jpg
http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5337.jpg

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/240sx/IMG_5331.jpg

Then I got enough money saved up to buy some tires and get them mounted they are 215/45/17 on a 9.5 inch wide wheel. Its not a huge stretch like most of everybody else's but its exactly how I wanted them.

Then I bought a megan racing carbon roof spoiler. Not a huge fan of carbon fiber but I will probly paint it down the line some where. Then today actually I bought some 350z wheels for drift spare's. But the next big upgrade is a Tomei 2 way Diff. if you actually read the longest most boring build thread thanks i appreciate it. enjoy!

[Flicktitty]

Welcome man, cars clean. I'm friends with Stefan the guy you got the car from. Good to see it's getting some work done to it finally!

[sincity_sil80]

just wanted to be first.


dammit.. oh well , it was worth a shot. gl with the car man

[Nicg90]

oh shit haha thats cool that you know where i bought it. but yea show him this incase hes wondering what happened with it

[lexlaxlux]

Clean car, but is this the end of your build or is there some crazy swap coming along?

[Nicg90]

Well considering the car has 99,000 original miles on it I don't think I'm going to swap it anytime soon. I just want to learn to drift with what I have and do more an more engine work to the dohc KA as I go. I love the motor. But the end absolutely not. I dont think there will ever be an end. Ha. I will update the thread as I do more work to it.

[phaiwezzie]

Dude i used to own that shift knob no joke.
it says SRR on the top does it not?
i've never seen another one anywhere.

[Nicg90]

Yea it says SRR on top. My friend bought a white s13 coupe with an sr and he gave it to me. But I have tried many times to find another one. I emailed the company but they never got back to me.

[Nicg90]

Alright so I kinda creeped on you a little an looked at the threads you started and my best friend bought your old 240 from a guy in Michigan. He still has it and that's where I got the shift knob from ha.

[Nicg90]

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp321/ASnowRider090/8e79f615.jpg

That's your old coupe behind my car. It needs an alignment and the fenders need to be rolled and pulled to fit the 10.5's in the rear.

[Nick_04K]

Car is clean! And looks like your keeping it that way, good job.
Coupe looks sex btw.

[Nicg90]

Thank you! Yea his coupe is pretty sick but it will look a whole lot better once he's no longer 4x4 status.

[miravete]

looks like you cut the egr tube after/before installing the dc headers.... did you end up plugging off the holes?

nice clean build :)

[Nicg90]

nice clean build :)

I cut the tube because there was absolutely no getting the old tube out of the stock header. I bought a new erg tube and threw it on.

[phaiwezzie]

I'm glad its in good hands. I thought it was done for, the guy I sold it to was a retard lol.

[Nicg90]

I'm glad its in good hands. I thought it was done for, the guy I sold it to was a retard lol.

yea the body was beat to shit when he got it. and the kid who sold it to him knew absolutly nothing about the car. We took the fenders off and beat out all the dents and bondoed all the nasty stuff along with two massive dents on the rear corners of the roof almost like the car was rolled haha it all looks good now ready for paint.

[sincity_sil80]

what a nice story.lol no sarcasm intended

[Nicg90]

what a nice story.lol no sarcasm intended

Thanks man

[towlie]

Clean car. Don't fuck it up

Haha for sure man I planned on coming. I was there last year. I had the extremely clean all stock hatch.
Does this refresh your memory?

Car looks great dude! what method did you use to roll those fenders?

[Broadfield]

Haha for sure man I planned on coming. I was there last year. I had the extremely clean all stock hatch.

Shit, my bad.... I didn't recognize your user name. Well, your car is looking good and has come a long way in a short time.

I'm hoping to have a much better turnout for the cookout this year.

[Nicg90]

It should be there's three cars coming with me this year not including mine so it should be bigger. Everybody wants to see your beast of a car haha.

[whiterps13]

Didnt realize that was your car either.
But like Toby said, it has definitely come along way. That thing was super clean when we saw it.

[ayuaddict]

Does everybody in Illinois have a really clean, white, stock body S13?

[97240TB]

Really clean car man, I like everything you've done so far.

I like how the Nissan community in Illinois seems close knit for the most part.

[HPKMotorsports3]

nice hatch man...

[supratrdlova]

really clean s13 man, i dig it

[chiboy002]

Does everybody in Illinois have a really clean, white, stock body S13?

there are only very few...

[s13 @ fullboost]

clean and simple just my style

[Nicg90]

[ka24debt]

its crazy how a pair of wheels can make a car look so good. super clean car cant wait to see the progress

[Nicg90]

well there may or may not be much change with this car im installing a tomei 2 way LSD when i get back from vacation have to break it in then heading to Club FR's drift day 36. It'll be my first drift even so i hope i do well.

[Nicg90]

Wow it's been a while. I got the diff in and added a tanabe sway bar. Car handles like a dream and slides like a champ. Can't wait for broadfields cookout.

[whiterps13]

Does everybody in Illinois have a really clean, white, stock body S13?

LOL I fit the stereotype as well.

[94spitfire91]

Does everybody in Illinois have a really clean, white, stock body S13?

No lol your looking at some of the best here. I had to go out of state to find a rust free 240 for sale worthy of buying. Illinois is actually sometimes very tough on these nissans. I can't wait to see them at the cookout. OP I have some very similar mods on my hatch it'll be funny to compare keep up the good work

[JBs13*]

what was the specs on those 4 lug rims you first bought? and tire size?
i like your build for a stock 240 so simple and clean! i like how it sits.

[Nicg90]

They were 16x8's +0 offset and the tires were 195/50/16

[Nicg90]

Finally got around to getting some aero

[NewS13Guy]

I actually like the way your car looked without the areo....maybe its because i have a clean white s13 hatch too..lol..

[Mikey McFly]

I was totally digging the chuki front more than the aero. It was so clean and so fresh.

[Nicg90]

Yea I liked it but I get bored with things fast. I just wanted to Change the appearance of it. It's not permanent I can always go back the next time I get bored with it.

[CamryOnBronze]

Dang nice Nick! I gotta say I was loving it stock body for some reason too, lol. But probably just because it was/ is so clean and minty!

[conrad_s13.5]

couldnt fit the 'h' in chipper?....lol

[alexisthemovie]

nice to see an unmolested s13 for a change.

[kyles1988]

Nice Nic, didn't know you had a build thread.

Gotta ditch that black tape line with the quickness.

[fightinchunk]

thread title misleading. no club sandwiches anywhere... I checked :(

but srsly, great build man keep going strong!

[Nicg90]

Back from the dead!!! I wish I kept the aero. I ended up selling it because I thought I didn't like it. But I actually did!! Anyways. I did a ton of stuff to the car this season. I did 3 drift events with ClubFR and a mini event that was held by a friends shop. Currently in the process of S14 sr20det swapping my car! Sold the super clean Ka yesterday. Here's some pics from last season and where the cars current state is. 50244
