The Midnight Express

[mr.nismo.]

Ok so here's the deal. i bought a 90 hatch in june 2011 for 1600. 5speed 192k even. drove 200 miles from home to get her. ive been on 240sxf but sadly the site doesnt much traffic so i thought i should try zilvia for a change :wiggle:

Fast forward to now, and after:
doing some custom interior work, custom front work, some mods here and there, this is her today after 1 year and 2 months....

[Extreme Dimensions]

This thread is sick!

[mr.nismo.]

Haha thanks^ the route I really want to go is factory look s13.5 but we'll see how this rolls out

[SlowZ32]

I think the head lights look sick, what did you do to make it?

[mr.nismo.]

The flip ups and harness was fucked by prev owner so I got universal projectors, got a 12 pack box and started fabricating a lower housing. Once done I made the metal one and bolted the projectors onto them. Then I took the stock pop up hood and welded plates onto them. Some bondo and paint and that's the finished product. I don't have high beams tho

[SlowZ32]

That's pretty legit!

[mr.nismo.]

Thanks man

[mr.nismo.]

so i made a cover plate but its kinda ehh for now. ill be making another one at some point
http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g398/dev71893/IMG_1293_zps316fe5f0.jpg

[Shanevasquez]

I have been thinking about doing that with my headlights too. I am not a fan of the flip up but like the look when they are down. I have working motors I might try to sell.

[Mikester]

Hey what's goin on man!

Keep that shit up!

[Snatch'D Factory]

I like it! Keep it up!

[mr.nismo.]

Yeah ive been neglectful. i moved back to cali just before thanksgiving. lets just say moving to louisville was the WORST fucking experience in my life and i will never do something like that again. i cannot even begin to explain how burned i got out of all of it. Now, im just moving on and going back to the one thing thats stuck with me-my s13 :-P kinda sad actually lol. ANYWAYS..... as for updates.

Quickie then pics

1. Obviously the wiring specialties harness. 500 sucks balls but in the end its honestly worth it.

2. 180sx side skirts. took awhile to find. yes theyre frp but they amazing and idgaf lol.

3. My christmas present from her was a dead starter solenoid. Bitch. lol so in a circuit sports replacement went.

4. i lowered it back down and had some issues with the wheel well rubbing bad. it was bent to shit and flimsy and was tired of "shaping" it so i cut them out. yes they are open. yes they will most likely get tubs of some form.

5. Passanger side body to core support was lets say missing a lot of metal. i riveted two 18 gauge plates to hold it together for now. yes i know its ghetto. its tempory because i was getting flex. it works for now.

6. Fixed my stuck BOV. loud as fuck now. i guess it has the big spring in it lol.

7. The bad can of primer was getting worse on the roof. sanded it and plasti dip'd it cause its not worth to repaint right now.

8. i cant really think of what else??? PICTURESSSSS

I would make some other brackets for the hood locks! A buddy of mine had something simular on a Toyota supra! 240km/h and The hood smashed The windshield too 1000 pieces! :p hehe

[mr.nismo.]

Caggiano it's not not showing me the pictures? Are they mine about the hood pins? And if so to address both of you I'm adding more to it today. Adding another bar that will secure it straight down as well. So three different points in the chassis it will be locked down and the bottom bar will eliminate flex. I'm using 1/8th inch aluminum

[mr.nismo.]

Ok so I added a lower bracket on pass side. I took her up to 60 and the pins need to be adjusted a little. Haven't added one to driver side as I'm trying to think of how I'm gonna mount it. The ARC box complicates it lol

Very nice I have not seen a nice looking S13.5 240 in a long time this came out really nice, Silvia logo on the taillights is pretty lame but I'm still digging the overall car itself more pictures please.

[stev0n]

Is that a vertex rep bumper? Can you put up a side picture? I want to see what it looks like with the bumper & sideskirts.

I'm actually not sure. It's a duraflex bumper but I don't know what it's a rep of, haven't looked into it. Here's a side view

[stev0n]

Thanks man. It looks good! I've got a workz rep bumper on my s13.5 which is almost the same as yours. I'm pretty sure yours is a vertex.

But I've been trying to see how the chuki or kouki skirts line up with it. Where did you get your skirts? And how much were they?

Thanks man! And I bought them from Driven08 here on the forums. Just search and you'll find him he still has more FS. Like 200$ I think. They're FRP but they're literally spot on no molding tape needed. I love them.

[ixfxi]

this car is clapped out...

[mr.nismo.]

Yeah.. The chassis is pretty fucked up but otherwise really? No need for you to shit on my thread dude...

[stev0n]

That's cool. Thanks for the heads up. I'm torn between chuki & kouki fiberglass skirts.

Are those duraflex fenders? Not sure what brand mine are. They're wide but off. No sidemarkers. No vents. And no s13 body lines on them.

No problem. And yes they are. They do have vents, have the s13 body line , and had a place for s15 markers . I guess the pic doesn't show too well

[stev0n]

How wide are they? I think mine are maybe 20 mm or so. But my wheels barely fit under them

I was told they're not wide body but I'm not sure. Had to raise it up
And inch and it won't fit very far over the side wall. I have 17x9.75 527's with 255/40 all around.

[mr.nismo.]

Did a few things today.

1. Added brace bar to the hood pin on driver side, no more hood shake at high speeds :-)

http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g398/dev71893/2C394877-1E66-44D6-AA2F-3C8E7C226507_zpscjurvglt.jpg

2. Added some weather stripping for bumper and lights

http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g398/dev71893/CA3220EF-9B6C-4A4E-82F6-5164C10E809A_zps8fev9ijy.jpg

3. Added deletes for the side holes in the bumper. Too me looks much better, seals off relays from direct incoming water, and doesn't scream intercooler as much lol

Car looks good! I really wanna do a s15 front swap myself. Care to share where you located all the parts?

Pieced from 5 different people across the LA area and headlights from a guy in Minnesota

[Kuma]

That's a random place to find some s15 headlights. Digging the front bumper changes.

Looks like It is coming together well. I really like how you did the floating hood pins. I am going to copy you on that. Is the plug and play headlight harness working out well for you?

Well except the high and low beams don't work at the same time. Remember when I said my pop up motor harness was super f'd from the PO? Excellent idea to retain function but not for my car lmao. And thank you., they work extremely well with that setup

Rustoleum and yeah if I wet sanded and did more clear it would look like a single stage at least, but doing clear coat out of rattle is such a pain to get even without aerosol lines

The way the S13 headlight wiring is designed (due to sealed beam lamps) they do not come on at the same time if you just did a direct wire up.

I made a guide on how to get the S15 headlights working as they should on your S13, as this is what I did for my S13.5.

Yeah I realized I would have to add second relays for the high beams. I've just been lazy lol. However looking at how you did it is a way better idea then how I was gonna do it lol

On my old front on I used then to vent more air to the radiator. Never had fade issues with my z32's except for one time and that was to prove that I could stay within 10ft of an rb26 s14 with my SOHC KA in a mountain run
They also hide the obvious front mount pipes. However I'm sure I could trim the outer sides and still vent, just haven't messed around with it yet

Can't believe it's been this long since I've touched this. I do miss the white. For now, (maybe forever) it has vinyl wrap as I'd prefer to use paint on a chassis that isn't smashed on every side. A year and some months? I guess I'll just post some pictures on
