The build of my S13 with RB25 gen2
 

The day I got her Sept 03 totally stockhttp://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0002.jpg

Skrewing around on the street, I slid sidwaws into a yeild sign an took out the 1/4 panel. Also got lucky to get the full Silvia nose with full factory Areo from my buddies at JDM Imports Direct.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0003-3.jpg

Lots of dings and minor body damage to repair.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0005-2.jpg

Weld up side markers.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0007-2.jpg

Striped front down to metal, and getting mud work done.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0009.jpg

Getting ready to prime.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0011-1.jpg

Now I'm starting to cut in some parts.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0015.jpg

Now I'm ready to spray the body.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0018-1.jpg

Got her all back together. At this point no plans of making it a show car, just a nice daily.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0021.jpg

Plans have changed. I floted the valves on a single cam and desided to swap in a 1998 RB25DET and smooth out the engine bay.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0027-1.jpg

Body work is done. Now ready to prime.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0029-1.jpg

http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0032-1.jpg Time to spray the engine bay.

http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0033.jpg Time to take back to JDM Imports Direct to install my RB. I did all the paint work on the RB

Now It's turning into a show car, but Interior is still mostly stock and that ugly brown, and the suspension isnt where I want it.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0035-1.jpg

Time for suspension upgrades. Color changed Tien Flex coilovers, Tanabe swaybars and strut braces and front strut rods, rechromed SPL lower control arms, SPL rear brace, Nismo power brace, Kasama tie rod ends and rear upper control arms, Kasama sub frame stiffners, custom rear steer elimination kit

Now time to get rid of the ugly brown interior. Rocky Peters of Parkland Custom Upholstry is helping me with this, he has done the upholstry in many show winning cars including best of show at Concours d'elegance Pebble Beach

Interior is finally done.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0059.jpg

It's sittin just how I like it and everything came together. http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0060.jpgReady for shows.

i hate you.............................:bowdown:

I was getting raz'd by Dave at JDM Imports Direct about the front licence plate area. He would alway's ask why I hav'nt smoothed out the bumper. It stayed on my mind for a long time and I finally figured out the direction I wanted to go with that mod and I finally did it a few years later.

My car wins alot so I'm going to take it to fewer shows.http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...n/DSC_0819.jpg

Awesome!

Beautiful coupe man. I love the two tone. Super Clean. Thanks for sharing!

fantastic job. That's turned out to be a really nice/functional car there. :boink:

Just a few more things to go. I have a top mount Greddy fuel rail to install but still need injectors. I'll be buying a Vi-pec stand alone ecu and get it tuned. I also will be installing the Carbon Creations rear splitters to match the front and sides and lastly I'll have a custom carbon fiber rear diffuser made since none exsist.

crack. strait up crack cocaine...

very clean car but i think the front splitter is a little to much since the car is all oem.

dude...your car is an example of an S-Chassis done right....beautiful build

by far one of the cleanest coupes out there WHAT THE FUCK !!!!!

Nice!!!!!!
