Beems S14 build up - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

beems240sx · 02-25-2013, 09:23 PM

UPDATE: did the last finishing touches on the control arms and knuckles. This took a lot longer than I thought since the POR has to dry over night

beems240sx · 02-28-2013, 11:29 PM

Update: got some of the suspension installed.

Unfortunately my outer tie rods don't work with the inners. The outers I have are Touge factory. I'm assuming I was accidentally sold s13 inners? The treads on the inners are too small

bllabong89 · 03-02-2013, 08:57 AM

Looks good. I also use POR 15 on my parts. It is such a good product...time consuming but well worth it. Looking forward to seeing more!

beems240sx · 03-08-2013, 10:06 AM

I got a little bit more done. Still waiting on miscellaneous parts to come in. Just trying to do as much as I can for now

Installed as much as I could without the spl eccentric lock out kit

Getting the headlights ready for the clear lenses

Here is a full KA build we did for a customer. Fullrace gt30 kit with a built motor

Thmotorsports · 03-08-2013, 10:55 AM

looks good man!

beems240sx · 03-12-2013, 08:54 PM

I seriously hate waiting on parts... So I put on the front fenders

Big update soon as parts start flowing in again!

Thmotorsports · 03-13-2013, 10:12 AM

looking good, looks like 2013 is gonna be a fun time

beems240sx · 03-16-2013, 06:28 PM

Got the rear widebody fitted. Ended up getting the rivnuts from Menards. They are super easy to use and you can unbolt the fenders now

Drill a hole

Thread the piece on the tool

Do that about 20 times

JonathanPrem · 03-16-2013, 07:05 PM

Is that Rivet nut where you can screw it off?

Loving that purple bay. Needs more purple

yeah so you can just unbolt the panel if/when it breaks to fix it. whenever ive drilled out normal rivets it normally tears up the fiberglass. this was super easy

beems240sx · 03-16-2013, 11:38 PM

Finally got these all sealed up. I stupidly didn't realize the stuff I grabbed was brown until I started. So hopefully you can't see it. If you can ill just redo them

beems240sx · 03-18-2013, 08:12 PM

Got them on the car

silviaks2nr · 03-18-2013, 08:42 PM

If it's paint-able just use a plastic friendly black paint over the caulking.

VYKTR · 03-18-2013, 09:51 PM

Yeah... that brown on the headlights deff has got to go. haha

beems240sx · 03-23-2013, 11:19 PM

Got my Touge factory tie rods installed

Boss s14 · 03-24-2013, 12:34 AM

Call mishi to see if they will swap it. They have the lifetime warranty so they might be. Cool about it

It's in Addison Illinois.

Picked up some Work XD9 from my buddy 18x10 +18. Getting the refinished gloss white. I also ordered two new ones that are of course back ordered for a few weeks. Plan it to run these with spacers for a little while the slap them and slam the Fd

beems240sx · 04-10-2013, 10:08 PM

Did some messing around trying to fit things together, still needs some tweaking but that will come after paint
