2 Years Later.... its Back and Better Than Ever! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Its back, after getting a bunch of goodies.

Sadly it was down longer than it should have been primarily because of a f*cked up throttle cable that somehow got messed up. Plus I have been busy with life and broke on top of that.

Lets recap the downtime.

-Rolled/Pulled Fenders
-Non HICAS Subframe & Swaped it in to Ditch HICAS
-Non Hicas Uprights & Pressed in Poly Bushings into the Uprights and LCA
-Removed Power Steering, Reinstalled it later as an Idler after the Belt fiasco
-KTS Coilovers & SubFrame Collars(Thanks again SPL!)
-5 Lug Swap
-Z32 Brakes and all around Rotors, Pads, Lines
-s14 Seats F&R
-s14 Belts
-All Adjustable Arms and Tein Tie Rods (Thanks drift freaq!)
-Removed AC & AIV
-SS Clutch Line, Removed Dampner
-Removed Tweed on Doors

Ok I know, there is more but its about as boring as the last few things.

Today I Buffed and Waxed, Engine Cleaned, Interior Cleaned!

Now that is running... I already want to get a s14

My s13 is badass, but I feel like I have out grown the s13 and miss my old s14.

Oh Ya! I got a 89 Camry All-Trac for my beater car. Now I need a 3S-GTE for it

On a Side note. Here is Elaina on Mothers Days

PS: Sorry I havent been around much lately. I promise to spend more time on the site now that she is running again.

clean fastback

Ritz S14 · 05-28-2005, 07:51 PM

That Camry is so awesome!! How do you like it? \

Looks like you went through hell pulling those fenders though.

**West** · 05-28-2005, 08:16 PM

Camry is alright... there is no aftermarket suspension support. Although I might be able to use something off a Celica All-Trac, noone knows shit about the car so it sucks trying to get any good info for it.

Fenders were pretty easy. I did all four, one front peeled the paint on the fender. In all it took me about an hour to do them all. There not perfect but damn good since it was my first time ever doing it.

**ThatGuy** · 05-28-2005, 08:22 PM

Elaina looks adorable Mark. Glad to hear you got the car back on the road!

TheSnail · 05-28-2005, 08:31 PM

You remember how long I have been wanting to buy those wheels off of you. "One day they will be mine, Oh yes, they will be mine...." 10 for the clean hatch.

Gjohnson7 · 05-28-2005, 08:59 PM

Very, very clean. And an adorable little girl too! Keep up the good work.

matlock · 05-28-2005, 09:08 PM

Car looks great WeST, and The camary is pretty sick looking too

.....dang you got a cute kid

MakotoS13 · 05-28-2005, 10:54 PM

man, i feel old. seeing people around my age with offspring is getting... normal.... its so... weird.

go240 · 05-28-2005, 11:47 PM

looking good!

i didn't even know there was such a thing as a camry all-trac - that's cool

95Blue240sx · 05-29-2005, 09:36 AM

I didnt know about that either. Car is looking good though, both of them!

When can we expect another offspring?!

nismo2491 · 05-29-2005, 10:22 AM

glad to see its back, mines getting closer to that 2 year mark too... she'll be up and running again soon enough... trying to open a shop and build a car and still make rent, insurance, bills is a pain in the ass...

Chernobyl · 05-29-2005, 02:11 PM

looks like poo in real life

jk mark. Elaina gets cuter and cuter, doesn't she?

**West** · 05-29-2005, 04:50 PM

It actually does because the previous owner got macco paint on the bumpers and roof. Sides look great though!

She sure does

Yoshi · 05-29-2005, 05:03 PM

SWEET! you got the alltrac! i'm jealous!

*HaLo* · 05-29-2005, 05:27 PM

Lookin' good! Clean, simple! I love the wheels.

jOeHaCk98 · 05-29-2005, 07:42 PM

You removed the EGT, huh?

**West** · 05-29-2005, 08:00 PM

Doh, nevermind that.

But why? Do you have another set of wheels you run?

Huh??? So you think a 9" +35 wheel is flush on a s13? I mean it doesn't look bad but certinatly doesn't require pulling the fenders, i could see a simple roll. But, I'm confused as to why the fenders were pulled especially the front???

I fit a 18x9.5" +38 on my s13 on a 245/40 with just a roll.

Yeah I undestand where your coming from. I had 17x9.5 33+ 275/40 on mine. I did not roll the fenders and the tires stuck out .5", rims .2-0" . But wether or not his are 35+, they are going to be mine after 2years of tempting him.

I saw that, that is why I was questioning myself.

Chernobyl · 05-30-2005, 05:52 PM

He pulled the fenders because he runs 245 out back and not as much camber as most of the other guys on this site.

Wheel fitment nazis make me chuckle. Not everyone runs the same setup, man.

*revat619* · 05-30-2005, 06:57 PM

Lookin good WeST!! Your cars have always been clean though. I still miss the old ka-t s14. Dang, that car was hot.

Keep up the good work!

It's not about being a wheel fitment nazi... i said it looks fine.. Even with less camber the wheel/tire combo doesn't require a pull. Just makes it look silly is all.

Amazing, I guess you must have access to a alignment rack 24/7 to test offsets, widths, and alignments. When I got these wheels I put them on and they stuck out a good 1+". Given my alignment was extremely off since I have just swapped sub frames and installed all aftermarket multilink. I needed to roll the fenders with my 255's in the rear. I have 245's in the rear and guess what, you can always add spacers... I didnt pay 2k$ for a set of wheels to be perfectly flush. I didnt that once, and it was a waste.

Flush is something, ridiculously stretched tires and chaca-fied offsets are another. Ill let the fad influence you whichever way you want to go.

TheSnail · 05-30-2005, 10:55 PM

So you have'nt gave me your paypal address yet. jk, If your ever short on cash though, hit me up.
