EJ253 · 12-17-2007, 03:02 AM

thats hella clean.

damn!

Bobafreak · 12-17-2007, 03:33 PM

fresh! Nice! well worth the wait.

kouki180sxdrfta · 12-17-2007, 05:31 PM

i love your car

khilgers · 12-17-2007, 09:42 PM

Z32 MAF showed up today. Got a good deal on this and I can finally use the filter that came with the greddy kit I bought last winter. My car will be leaving soon to go to Artistry Automotive, a new shop some friends opened up, to get injectors installed, MAF wired, SAFC wired, RAS installed and I will get this bitch tuned finally. No need to flame the SAFC, I already know about it so let's just leave it at that.

colexcore · 12-18-2007, 01:57 AM

nice build and beautiful car. safc's are good for temporary use so no bashing is needed. I wish i had the patience to take my time and build a car like this.

RedStage · 12-18-2007, 08:12 AM

nicely done. Wish my Silvia was that clean.
Think I'll go put my stock hood back on...my CF hood looks like arse. Faded and cracked FTL

nrg · 12-19-2007, 12:22 AM

you should get rid of that "voltage drop resistor"

It was needed for the auto tranny. you dont need it anymore with your 5 speed motor.

nice build.

WTF? nice sig RedStage :P

INeedNewTires · 12-19-2007, 07:00 PM

very nice, love the progression in the pics and also how you have A+ suspension.... +1 for you

DSPro · 12-19-2007, 07:53 PM

Very nice. Quality parts, quality work.

I know, I need to get rid of that entire section of wiring, I just havn't gotten around to it yet. Last winter I was so gung ho about working on it, but this winter I have stuff around the house to finish, so the car comes 2nd.

posdrift240 · 12-20-2007, 03:31 PM

Nice Car clean build, You done your home work. So hows the wife like the new ride? Ever get request to kick er a little sideways?

Ichito240 · 12-20-2007, 03:46 PM

hahahah. No actually when I want to do it, I know she'll get pissed at me, but the urge to have a little fun overrides the fact that I know she will get pissed, but for some reason I do it anyways. She hates that

didderson · 12-20-2007, 05:47 PM

Great job man. Reminds me of when i repainted my engine bay. But you went to much more extreme lengths of prep. Props!

mayco_86 · 12-20-2007, 07:38 PM

Excellent job bro. That engine bay looks hellaa clean.

JULY] · 12-20-2007, 11:34 PM

Bad ass bro.I love the details.

1CLNS14 · 12-21-2007, 09:46 PM

Very nice build. hope to do the same some day.!

khilgers · 03-19-2008, 05:43 PM

Spring update:

The car has been sitting most of the winter in the garage, and most recently was dropped off at Artistry Automotive, a local shop owned by some friends. I did some work for them, so I brought the car there to have, injectors, Z32 maf, SAFC II, and RAS installed. They also fixed a couple small things for me. The car will be tuned on tuesday and back in my garage that night.

So far new for '08 include:

TOMEI 555 injectors
Z32 MAF
TOMEI RAS
SAFC II
Enkei RPF1, 17x9.5 +13, 17x10 +18
Bride FG Rails
Nardi 330MM deep corn
WB Hub
WB Quick release
Drift knob
SPL Subframe spacers
New ball joints
17x9 +25 SSR RS-8, cheap drift spares, I repainted the center sections.

just ordered:
Sparco Pro 2000 seat

Ready to install:
TOMEI oil block adapter
Setrab 16x6 oil cooler
Earl's thermostat
Summit remote oil filter mount
Power steering cooler
High pressure PS line

more to come as spring rolls around, the snow is finally melting

lil240sx95 · 03-19-2008, 05:57 PM

nice watanabes. hopefully yours dont crack like mine did!

JRas · 03-19-2008, 05:57 PM

I love this car

I hope you know I still want more pictures of the RPF1's :P

edit: did you replace the high pressure ps line with an oem or a stainless steel? and do you plan on using that Fram oil filter?

A Spec Products · 03-19-2008, 06:00 PM

Someone is going to cry about the Fram oil filter

Haha

Clean build so far keep it up

khilgers · 03-19-2008, 07:40 PM

fram filter was one I had laying around, no intention of using it. I just put it on to help me figure out where to mount the remote filter.

khilgers · 03-19-2008, 07:42 PM

The high pressure PS line is from this thread.

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.p...gster+steering

Good stuff, and I just learned how to work with -an fittings. Good practice for when I install my oil cooler setup.

an_orange_s2k · 03-19-2008, 07:52 PM

awesome build! you've have been overdue

Moncef · 03-19-2008, 08:22 PM

^^^^^^ i give you props for this and also for a do-it yourselfer lets see those drifting pics when you go.

khilgers · 03-22-2008, 08:12 AM
