Mid year recap:

Aero arrived, didn't go to Abo Moon Event, Crashed the R32, Not driving FB3, and I bought my old 180sx back.

Here are some pictures.

Repairs and paint are still going on with the R32. The 180sx now has Z32 brakes and the TE's from the R32. Probably won't do body work on the 180sx for a while so the quarter panels will look horrible for a long time. Sorry in advance.

Ayyy my man! I remember it from a few years back...

JIMB0 · 08-08-2017, 03:29 PM

So not much has really happened until lately. Went to Final Bout 3 and had a blast.

https://jyw0rld.wordpress.com/2017/0...al-final-bout/

Painting the car has been pretty much on and off. I was going to sell the car then keep it, I was going to try to fix the quarter panel then I was just going to add the over fenders. I was going to use stock metal fenders then I got vented fenders. Then i ordered a BN Sports hood. I moved from 17" all around to 17/18 stagger. Its been a cluster fuck of changing ideas and how the car will turn out but I'm stick with what I got now and just trying to finish the car. This is the car as of right now. Hood arrives probably Jan/Feb so thats when the car will be finished.

Also in this time of not having the car and what I have witnessed with other R32 sedans, I decided to swap to a SR20. I did the math and Im hoping to almost break even with selling all the RB20 stuff that i have. I scooped up a S13 Blacktop SR from a local importer. Motor seemed stock with a ARC oil pan. I was really banking on an aftermarket clutch with the motor but it was just a burnt stock clutch.

The importer gave me a "30 days start up warrenty" so i have 30 days AFTER i get the motor starter that if anything goes wrong, then I can return it so i wasnt too worried about checking out the motor in much detail when I was inspecting it at the importer. It had great compression and looked to be all there so I took it. I dropped the motor off at my work so I could tinker with it every so often and not have to go to my garage after work. I cracked open the valve cover and found these...

HKS CAMS!!!!!! Pretty stoked on these. 256 cams so the motor wasnt all that stock!

I removed all the accessories and cleaned up the motor. I ordered a complete gasket kit but didnt want to removed the intake manifold since I thought I could get it cleaned pretty well.

After degreasing it and cleaning it up, i wasnt too happy so I decided to paint the block and intake manifold. All of the bracket I sand blasted and repainted black. The PS pulley was dented so I ordered a pulley set and got those installed. Water pump seems to be new so I dropped in a Nismo Thermostat.

As for power, the TD06 was really tempting but I stuck with a S15 BB turbo, Power FC and 550CC STi Injectors. Shooting for 300HP and keep things reliable. Since Im drifting this car in Texas, cooling is my main concern. Oil cooler with the Tomei N2 oil block paired with the GREX Thermostatic oil filter relocation should help oil temps stay cooler. S14/15 oil pick up was also upgraded. Koyo Radiator will be ordered and probably a RB25 fan or maybe a GK tech one.

Found a good deal on a PBM Cobra Downpipe here on Zilvia so i snagged it up.

Still needing to get a few little things like replacing the rear main seal, clutch, turbo lines and intake. Should have some cool updates over the next couple of months when the car returns from paint, removing the RB and installing the SR.

maybe ready for super D spring matsuri?

JIMB0 · 02-01-2018, 08:10 AM

Got the car back from paint on Sunday.

As soon as the car got to the garage, I tested on the aero and took a step back...

Got a lot of work ahead of me. The engine bay is stripped and ready for cleaning. Need to put in all the door trim and seals. Paint the engine bay and install the SR.

Please bring this car to USAIR this year

*TheRealSy90* · 02-01-2018, 03:15 PM

Love that you're keeping the SR simple, i'm missing mine bad.

da_crew10 · 02-01-2018, 06:04 PM

Love this car!

tricky_ab · 02-01-2018, 06:05 PM

This is a great look my man!

FKNGRSY · 02-02-2018, 12:14 AM

Paint looks so good! Love that red with the bronze TE's.

JIMB0 · 02-06-2018, 08:13 AM

Another S13 Hatch came up for sale so I had to scoop it up.

1990
1 owner
74k miles

Going to transfer everything over from the white car to this car. Then I don’t have to do much body work. I think I might pick up another pair of TE’s, chuki sides and put on my rear valances. Swap the KA24DE, 4.6 gears and have a simple car that has some pep. But I gotta finish the R32 before I can start this project.

JIMB0 · 04-25-2018, 07:10 AM

So my s13 plan didn’t go as planned. I decided to part it out and use the money to mod my house that I just bought.

I crushed the white hatch because I didn’t want anyone to ever build it and I sold the red one for WAY more than what I paid for it.

My BN Sport hood finally arrived but I haven’t gotten time to drop it off at paint since we have been moving.

Got the garage floor epoxied and painted since CamryOnBronze told me to do it.

Time for pictures.

Looks great my friend. Congrats on the house!

eagleeyes221 · 04-30-2018, 01:54 PM

my heart dropped when i read you crushed the white hatch

EFITTZY · 04-30-2018, 02:38 PM

Subbed for updates! Keep it up

JIMB0 · 07-23-2018, 06:36 AM

Here is a 3 month update.

Got the SR20 tuned and got the hood painted. Had to redo the overfenders since they were cut correctly to allow the wheels to fit properly.

Had my friend Justin (RurouniMidnight) took some pictures of the car that I’ll probably post on my blog so I don’t cluster up this page.

Drifting this weekend then hopefully have a couple practice days before I head off to SuperD in September.

deolio · 07-23-2018, 12:13 PM

did the firemen whip out their hoses and try to extinguish the fire before realizing it's a car?

DJTTon · 07-23-2018, 01:45 PM

I guess I dont know the whole history on the white car, but why was it crushed?

*Mofuhcka* · 07-23-2018, 08:40 PM

Didnt know this was getting SR swapped! Ive kinda been playing with the idea of doing it to mine but I’ve never had good luck with SRs and my NEO has plenty of potential. Car looks so good though!
