S13 Build from Slovakia - making showcar from missile car

[TSSS22]

Hi my name is Szabi, I live in Slovakia and last year I was bought a Nissan 200sx s13 in very poor condition. The previous owner used this car to learning drift so this is the missile drift car. My plan is built a show car from this shit. I try to make every job alone on the car. So at now I try take chassis to original condition and little modified.

There is the my blog, but at the moment is available in only hungarian language:http://szamel.blog.hu/

Thats so awesome... hell of a lot of body kit stuff! That rust looks pretty menacing though... Keep it up!

[angel mkiv]

Are they really hard to come by in Slovakia?any specific reason you decided to restore this s13 and not buy one in better condition?anyways love the dedication and curious to see how this turns out!!

No, but when I was bought the car, I do not have a lot of money for a car in better condition. Now I have a job and i spending the big part of my payment to restauration. And the plans are the same from the beginning, disassemble the car to the last screw. And beginning job with the chassis and put up the new body kit. Repaint all of the parts or zinc coating the screws...

Now I search the new rear left part of the chassis because this part is in very bad condition :mad:

Holy shit. Love this.

[TSSS22]

Thanks guys. The works on the left rear part of body are slowly ends. I go to weld the right side of the car, and I have the little work on bottom of the body.
I was ordered the 326power wing, and I go to Budapest for some good JDM stuff. For example the KTS coilover sett, 5lug hubs and adjustable rear camber and toe arms. :naughty:

[Jtuned_andy]

Great work, good to see quality autobody skills being used for repairing a 240sx. I always see awesome full on restos coming from shops in euro towns, much more dedication to metal trade work than here in the US.

[Pstl_pete]

Amazing work and dedication to doing what 99% of other people would have said no to!

Keep it up!

[va240dude]

Where did you get the wiper motor?

[Dirk Jan]

It´s quite common for S13´s to have this amount of rust here in Europe. I´ve actually seen a lot worse, including one of my own previous ones. I can imagine these cars are especially hard to find in Slowakia, so people tend to stick to a shell rather than just scrapping it for another one. As most shells for sale will probably be in worse condition anyway.

Good luck dude, looks like you´re doing a good job!

[TSSS22]

Thanks to everyone.

Where did you get the wiper motor?

The wiper motor is original but it was disassembled and renovated.

Yeah there is not too much S13´s, but sometimes outcrop the disassembled car what sold for the parts. I doing this because I'm interested in, and I learning some techniques and know how to repair car body and restoration some parts of this.

im going to assume that it allows the flap disc to flex a little bit......

Any updates on this thing?

Hi, yes of course, sorry for late update. Freshly I have Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nissan_200sx_rs13/
and you can follow the build on facebook too https://www.facebook.com/szabolcs.szamel

Turning to the build, the works are going very slow but its not new. I continued the process in enginebay. I used lot of putty and sprayputty for clean finish....

I think I found the best color for enginebay, black base and some layers of purple custom painting pearls. The right side of testline.

Hi, I am back with new pics and infos about the project. Its not dead, just I dont have time to write the new post... With my girlfriend we buy new dailycar: BMW E46 323i sedan, yea its not only my decision. She love the cars also, and She like to drive something nice with correct power specs and I like to buy RWD so this is the result. I worked on car, new polyurethane front bushings, changed steering rack - the old is leaking, exhaust system from 330i - need to little weld for the best fit, and modded muffler (sounds really good :snoop:) and some little mods like angeleyes, autodimming mirror, bluetoothmod for oem HU.

[Ratpack_Chad]

Thats actually a really cool idea with the foam inside the bumper, once you cut away the excess it probably a perfect fit. Great work!

[silviamang]

Man this thing is very cool. I cant wait to see it after paint. Good work so far man!

I think the previous poster is right - I'd eliminate/remove the ABS all together. It's bulky, heavy and ugly. Definitely takes away from what you're doing.

[TSSS22]

I think the previous poster is right - I'd eliminate/remove the ABS all together. It's bulky, heavy and ugly. Definitely takes away from what you're doing.

Maybe you're right, but I think the ABS in the car is not useless, its not a racecar and also not a driftcar, for cruising and fun ride I dont see the reason why remove it. Ugly is not a real reason to remove the functional thing from the car. But its my opinion and I am bulding the car for myself, by the way thank you for the comments I appreciate it so thanks for the support.

[Super_OK_S13]

Been following this build for a while. Its very nice and seems to have a well thought out build process to end result. To you, the build serves a purpose and you are happy with it. Looks great so far!! :)

I am curious if you can send me the 3d print file/link so i can have a friend print 2 new wiper mounts for my car. i really like the bearing install instead of bushings. Did you also print new ball joint inserts for the arms?

Thanks, of course I can share the stl, I am uploaded it to thingiverse for you and others for test purposes. Plese leave the comment if you test it :) Now I am used the old inserts in arms. I am planning to design some replacements but now I am working on some other thing so no time for it :ugh:

Yeah its galvanized zinc, it looks like this before.. but the spraypaint is also enought, just you cant paint the inside of the tube, with zinc is also done. btw, your enginebay wiring looks awesome, I am planning something similar too.

Yea, mine is covered in surface rust but I figure it's already 28 years old and no where near 'too rusty'. I just like the small details nobody will ever see so I'll give it some paint.

After a few years away from the scene i am actually re-doing my wiring right now. I've learned a lot since the first time..

Keep it up, good work.

[shinhed]

Zilvia might be a shadow of what it used to be, but atleast im still here and loving this build!

[EFITTZY]

This build is so inspiring! I wish every s-chassis owner had this kind of dedication towards their build. Keep up the great work :hsdance:

[Eww Evo]

There is a great line between a builder like this and ones who just buy bolt on parts. I love watching builds like these because when I get stressed out with my car it gives me motivation. I like seeing peoples ideas and them bringing their creativity to their car.

Keep up the good work!

[TSSS22]

Thanks for the comments, these words are inspiring me. I know I am posting pics occasionally but I don't have too much time for the project, only a day per week. But there is some new pics now, I need to finish the rear brakes on boths sides and i am also working on the custom front arms, to fit 39mm ball joints.

Well thought out and complete build, especially with the condition of the chassis when you started. Glad to see that people are still putting the time into thoughtful builds.

Hi! I really like your progress especially on the pieces that you design yourself. I was wondering if you could give some more info on your air cabin project. What filters did you use? What was the foam tape around the filter?

Hi! I really like your progress especially on the pieces that you design yourself. I was wondering if you could give some more info on your air cabin project. What filters did you use? What was the foam tape around the filter?

I'm also interested in the cabin filter project, would you be able to provide the file to print the filter holder? I recently got my hands on a 3d printer and am itching to give it a shot!

Loving the build and attention to detail as others had said, I'm blown away by what you've accomplished!

what drawing/modeling program are you using? my room mate got a printer, and i have a CAD background. but i dont have access to the programs i used at school. looking for a decent free program, but im starting to realize i may be asking too much.

nice progress as well. keep it up!

Pretty sure Blender is free, not sure how good it is for designing parts but iirc it's a pretty powerful program

[jumpman2334]

is that what he is using? I dont think so. i dont want a 3d modeling program. i need something cad specific. ive been using sketchup free but all the features i need require me to pay money.

Hi! I really like your progress especially on the pieces that you design yourself. I was wondering if you could give some more info on your air cabin project. What filters did you use? What was the foam tape around the filter?

I'm also interested in the cabin filter project, would you be able to provide the file to print the filter holder? I recently got my hands on a 3d printer and am itching to give it a shot!

Thanks for the positive feedback, sorry for late reply. Of course I am upload the cabin filter holder to thingiverse for free like my preivous designs. But at the moment the holder is in progress, there is only a strait space for the filter so I needed to redesign the holder a little bit. If I provide the successful test fit of this version I am upload the alpha version to the Thingiverse with all the infromation about the holder, filter and printing settings of course.

I am using the Fusion 360, its easy to use and have 30 or 60days trial, if you a student you can use the soft 3years for free in other case you have 1year for free to personal use. So at the moment I have the 1year free version. The normal price is overkill for hobby use so...

The current status of the holder is shown on the pictures. The parts are fitted together with small neodymium magnets for easy change, but I am thinking about some mechanical clips for straight and stronger fitting. But it cannot be applied on the place because of the access from outside is so bad, so it need to be printed as onepiece with the holder or some snap in joints or something like this.

Thanks.

The solution with magnets is working I think.

I'm hungry for an update to this thread.

Hi, I am back there, sorry for this delay but I have a lot of work on the house and etc.
I have finished the ashtray insert design for Restomod Ninja and also the cabin air filter holder :rawk:

As I mentioned before I am relocated the relay and fuse boxes to the interior and made a custom holder for them.

I bought the sandblaster kit for a power pressure washer, it works well, its enough for small parts.

The car looks like this now

Nowadays I am assembling the engine when I have time for it. I am changed most of the old hoses on it.
I bought one used stainless steel manifold, it is not refurbished yet.
And I need to zinc galvanize some bolts and parts of the engine.

very cool design! I would give you plus rep but it says I must spread it around before I give you more.

I still love that you are using CAD and 3D printing to manufacture solutions for yourself.

Cant wait to see more custom solutions.

Thanks man, I have few pics of the first filters that I shipped.
The 2020 was about building our house, with a new garage of course. Its a flat roof house so I no have enough room for a car lift, so I decided to make a service pit. Btw I made some fancy wall lighting in the garage.
So yeah I don't have too much to say about the s13, for the car the last things that arrived are these nice stickers from restomod.ninja (http://restomod.ninja). The next update is coming when the garage and driveway is ready to bring over the S13.

THE BEST BUID IN HISTORY OF ZILVIA HANDS DOWN!!!


Attention to details and quality of you work is INSANE my friend.
Thank you for sharing your work (and designs)

You are keeping this forum alive. Thank you!!!

[tuzzio]

I assume the cabin filter mounts between the blower motor box and the AC box?

[futures14drift]

this build is so impressive. truly what i think about when i say dream build.

Attention to detail is insane!

Thanks :x: I think it is far from perfect, but I do my best. The thing is I started it few years before, hmm I need to check the date when I buy it, wait a minute.........
...
In 2012 OMG :picardfp: I thought it would be done in 1 year
Anyway I would do a lot of things differently these days what I learned from this build so yeah maybe the next projectcar can be better.

I missed the opportunity to buy Lancia Thema 8.32 with Ferrari v8 from my friend because the s13 is still in progress.
It crashed from the backside but he has the donor car and no time to finish it.
It would be nice to take it back to alive but I think my wife can't handle another rusty shit in our family.
So the plan is to finish the S13 before starting anything else.

I assume the cabin filter mounts between the blower motor box and the AC box?
No, the filter goes through the wiper area, it's made from 2 main parts. The bottom is fitted into the ventilation inlet,
then the upper part was slid on top of that, and the magnets hold it in place. Also, the body has a little bump on top of the back part of the filter so it presses down the filter a little,
which helps to take it in place also.
It's a weird solution I know, the install is painful for those who have bigger arms but this method does not need any modification,
so you can add the filter to the full stock car also. But the truth is, you need to disassembly the plastic cover under the wipers for install or filter change.
