ezza · 10-06-2011, 05:07 PM

thanks tricky!

fuse box is on the passenger side dash rail, i dont have a airbag dash so im just going to put the dash back on for the time being and when a fuse goes il cut my way to it and make some sort of flap/window.

there name on the packet is "adheisive cable tie clips" if that helps, dont know what the US wording for that would be....."gum zip tie hooks"?

haha

where to start?...OH YEAH:

(i have NO idea how to embed video here)

Now that i know the car actually starts/works i am LOVING working on it again, it can actually start going back together and i can start doing the 'fun' bits, shit, i hoovered it out the other day! felt like a milestone! a far cry from cutting the front of the car away.

anyway, over the weekend iv been going over the car tieing up loose ends mainly; sorting the trim out in the boot, routing the battery cable and earth stealthly and securely, tucking bits of the engine loom, tightening up engine mounts etc etc etc

The hockey puck engine mounts feel good too, the car whole car vibrates, i love it, feel solid, feels like a full on race car haha
the only 'big' thing i got sorted really was fitting the charge pipes, also figured out where/how im going to mount the washer bottle, probably going to use the rear sprayer as a IC mist spray but all in good time.
a couple pics;

oh yeah, I found a used JDM plaster i found when taking out the rear interior:

Im going to lick it in hope of being more JDM.
pipes:

I was using the lead light while tightening engine mounts, thought it looked cool:

Oh yeah toe arms STILL not here

great stuff man keep it up!

92SEric240sx · 10-09-2011, 05:20 PM

Nice build so far.

How readily available are 200sx's over in the united kingdom?

ezza · 10-16-2011, 08:22 AM

thanks

ukdm ones arent exactly hard to find, JDM ones are rarer but by no means impossible to come accross

RB Me · 10-17-2011, 09:58 AM

holy hell, lots of good work.

ezza · 08-29-2012, 12:07 PM

Shit, im ashamed of how far behind this thread is

leaving off from the last post;
finished car and finally got to drive it
span a shell the next day

took out engine next day
months of being off the road again while i rebuilt engine
engine finished and dropped in
drove car, bonnet flew open, bent bonnet, smashed windscreen, dented roof

anyway, its been on the road long enough for me to give it a decent shakedown and start having some fun in it again, although it doesnt feel like its making anywhere near the power it did, just need to go over it with a fine tooth comb looking for boost leaks etc.

some recent pics:

Awesome builld man! Really came a long way.. Respect!

ezza · 11-20-2012, 07:30 AM

I'm trying to lower my car some more but I'm having trouble making the rear wheels tuck, they are 12.25J, I'm not sure of the offset.
I was running like 4.5 deg camber with a slip on spacer (9mm) then I had the alignment redone, taking the rear down to 0.45deg, I had to take the 9mm slip on off so the tyres would clear the arch, but then the inside of the wheel would rub the coilover when the suspension was loaded, so I put a 5mm slip on to prevent that, but now the tyre rubs the arch like fuck.
In short, is there anyway of moving the coilover further back? I want to tuck but I don't want anymore than like 1.5deg camber on the rear, which I don't think is going to happen unless there is a way of moving the coilovers further inward.

I'd love to hear from anyone that's tucking 12j's

Current camber:

ezza · 11-20-2012, 02:32 PM

I know, the flash really highlights the rust there, looks like nothing a good wire brush wouldnt get off, then underseal.

Thanks mane

yomisiu · 11-20-2012, 04:40 PM

you could bow your fenders out some and keep the spacer

ezza · 11-20-2012, 04:51 PM

I thought about that but would the new holes I'd need to drill be too close to the existing holes?

ezza · 11-21-2012, 02:25 AM

Also, started work on some custom wings, it's in the very early stages right now, but iv dug the old flame suite out just in case
