Not sure how much further i can take this car, as of the end of march the wife left and the divorce was finalized/paper work filed, so now i will have sole responsibility of the property/mortgage. funds will be tight!!

a little bit ago my friend logan got me out of the house and we went to shoot the car. i took my camera along to mess with it. here is a couple of mine,

Sorry to hear that bro but you're not the only one in that position if that makes you feel a bit better I too was in something similar to your current situation.

Hey Man, just got back from Carlisle where we met and I got a good look at your ride, nice in person. Nice to see a car that isn't just good on a computer screen. I'm sorry to hear about the situation, if there's anything I can do. When you get a chance, PM me.

Small update. Nothing really new but Since I quit home depot and got a new/better paying job at the beginning of august. I treated myself to some goodies for the car..

New front lower control arms and DMAX Super Street coilovers. The 2 times I drove on them so far compared to my Tanabes are really really smooth and a lot lower.. the fronts are maxed out as far as I can make them go.





The end goal is to be flush front and rear so I may end up with some new front knuckles that have a slight drop to them..

t's!

i really like the dedication put into your car. makes me think you'll never get rid of it which is always nice to see!

Super_OK_S13

THANKS t's! i think im at the point of no return as far as selling it... its my style and my art...

OK, i will update this with a post in more detail of the coilover and FLCA install even though its basic stuff.

I probably did miss a couple steps but having the camera on a tripod helped...

Here's a GIF i made of the first part of disassembly.




Started with the fronts, since i was replaceing the Front Lower Control Arm, i took it all apart.











ONTO the rears. since all i did was the coilover thats all i took out..







All the parts on the bench waiting for the new stuff to come!!





got hungry........




NEW PARTS!!!!! THANK YOU FRSPORT!!!!
















Rears came with the adjustment scale stickers to put on







To The SuperOK! ガレージ



Re-assembly







didnt get any of the rear but i had to flip the RUCA because it was bindin on the coilover body..

picture of the car in the driveway. i need new front tires to go a hair lower and new slightly shorter front 326power springs will come soon.

Hatemy7

Great build!!! loved it

relaxamigo

LOVE the super streets, been drifting on those for awhile! Great work dude

Z_Spool

Didn't see you mention, which flca did you pick up? Are these just OEM replacements, s14s, etc?

This car makes my pants tight... Just so you know.

its been a little while since an update, so here goes!

thanks guys!! z_spool they are just OEM replacements.

i bought an FRP SR Lip and will eventually get the Silvia skirts and rear spats to go with it, i'll probably just vinyl wrap them when i get them.







my old mishimoto radiator from 2009 wore a hole in the fins from the old fans being installed with those ziptie things that come with the fans; that go through the radiator and the fins hold them in place. so it was time for a new one with the bolt on fan/shroud kit from mishimoto as well. thanks to Nick at Elite JDM for the good price and FAST overnight delivery!!!!



my dog Katsumi approves!!



installed and functional



went to a cars and coffee meet that is new to the area. my friend showed up in his S14 =)





added some stickers to the back window



just a couple more will do down the road. no stickers will be on the body, only the back and no more on the front window and under the hood. =)

yardy

I just sat and read this whole build. Clean, Aesthetic and Functional, a true build. I appreciate the time and effort you put into the car, inspiration at its best.

Super_OK_S13

short and sweet update.

thanks yardy!!!

floor mats from Garage Moon Power, and 4-point bolt-in roll bar.





SOLD the SC reps a week ago and painted my s14 se wheels, i will get tires promptly.

not sure what is next as i am trying to work on my house more when i have time, aside from working...

just mock up so far on the wheels, i will probably raise it a bit for better function and drive-ability.

supersayianjim

I need a link to that lip. and your coupe looks great, although those rear fenders need to be rolled. I'm glad to see a non drift damage coupe esp in pa.

Such awesome attention to detail. The TTT rear seat delete looks good. Does it rattle at all?

also, the purple glitter is the fucking best thing i've seen in a while.

brndck

such a cool build! I love how clean it is!!!

thanks! it makes the engine bay pop for sure, the rear seat delete doesnt rattle that much as its bolted fast except the center at the bottom.

thanks yo!



so the truck is now out of registration and i fell into a good deal on an 05 Infiniti G35x from a neighbor. needs some buffing on the body to make the light scuffs and scratches go away and might need a respray on the hood and front/rear bumper. engine is super quiet and it rides soooooo nice compared to the truck and car. the only reason i bought it was it had a service record from 05-2014 at an Infiniti dealership from the one previous owner. only plans are tint, double din nav/aux stereo unit, and maybe a set of winter tires and a set of OEM wheels from something infiniti or nissan as summer wheels.

Escape 240sx

One of my favorite builds on here,The detail in the car is just crazy amazing gives me alot of ideas for my car. Hope to see more! Ka ftw

mochimod

I'm in love with that front lip spoiler, mind sharing how to get one?

DJTTon

Where do you get stickers like that?

thanks guys for the kind words again! glad my build inspires.

i got the lip from casale designs on a whim.

i got the stickers around the internet and instagram/facebook.



havent driven it in a while and made it to the season finale cars and coffee lehigh valley a couple weekends ago. On the way back stopped at a white castle. (my first time there)



new wheels still need picked out.

top 3 choices are

1. rebuilt Panasport G7 C5C to 18", 17" could work too.

2. 18" CR kai Kiwami

3. Nismo LMGT2 rebuilt to 18"

Most likely will get a set of rear rocket bunny quarter panel overs for the silvia, dorki dori v1 coupe skirts/v1 rear spats, i already have the front SR lip from casale designs.

Dolph_KYAS13

Not Allowed. Sorry Pal.

Talking about these and molding them into the quarters. (Not the fender flares ) Don't feel like messing with metal work. My passenger side quarter pannel is filled with bond-o from a loooooong time ago so it's these or crazy metal work.


If I do end up doing metal work it will be something like this but I don't really feel like doing it... plus the rocketbunny keeps the body line unlike some of the others out there and are pretty subtle looking.


I don't really want any type of crazy kit on the car other than the OEM lip,skirts,and rear spats to keep the theme OEM+

Hanzbrady, hopefully I can find a set of faces for nismos, Otherwise panasport will do just fine. I like the look of panasport more because the nismos look like the Mustang reps I used to have minus the three piece design of them.


Cheers guys!

ReedMann

Great thread!

I like your idea of using paracord as an edge for the door panel fabric. How has it held up over time?

I live in NC now, but I'm originally from Carlisle. I remember seeing your car in person at a Performance and Style show a few years back. It looks great in person.

Super_OK_S13

Reedman- thanks and if you are going next year come say hi!!!! i wish i could have found a slightly larger size, so it didn't sit too far in the groove and be not so noticeable. i eventually took it all out since i never glued it in place it kept falling out.


i did pick up a set of Panasport G7 C5C (from Stevino ) and ordered 2 new raw lips in 2.5in wide and im going to put the "rear set" up front and the rebuilt ones in the rear.



rears up front


i will be taking all the wheels apart and having the lips chrome plated when the new ones arrive. since i have an old working electric oven in the garage, i am going to powdercoat the barrels flat black and the faces either a bright silver or a medium-dark silver to blend in with the bottom two-tone color.

after or during that, the interior is getting ripped out for the oem carpet i bought MONTHS and MONTHS ago to go in plus getting the the front section of the bolt in cage bent up welded and painted. also on the list being shipped now is a pair of front 326power 12k springs 160mm long, and a new STRI Xline water temp gauge.

***also, i am going to have to find time to transfer ALLLLLL my photos from photo bucket to flickr since im not paying anymore monthly for it, so from when i got my nikon till now is all that will be seen.***

Bushido

The new wheels are going to make a huge difference on this car.
Good job.

thanks for the kind words


Some parts started arriving.


Got a new quick release, Black Gen 2 with carbon ring. Already installed that pictures later when I edit the post.

New STRI x-line water temp gauge. Old one isn't getting a signal so I jumped all the wires direct (signal straight to the sensor and grounds/power) but the needle was only blinking, not moving. So I did a little research and tried an Autopower sensor (even the same NPT thread size) but still no luck. I just went off of the factory cluster for too long...

I replaced the front springs on my coilovers. 326power 12k 160mm length.


Also started by removing the lips and prepping to paint the faces and barrels. Lips and bolts will be polished.



Took all the wheel weights off of the barrels, tapped the faces out with a rubber mallet, and cleaned all the sealant off of the barrels, lips and the edge of the face that touches the inside of the barrel. I need to finish prepping for paint on the other 3 faces.




Also black friday, I'm ordering Dorki Dori skirts v1 and coupe v1 rear spats. To go along with that and since I'm keeping the car Two-Tone I have avery gloss metallic car wrap to do the bottom of the car.

Next week I want to go to my uncles metal shop and get tubing for the front cage bars to bend up.

That's all for now, I'll update as the other stuff comes in!
