yes sir. i originally bought it for 400 and i planned to throw in a sr20det. who knew? haha. it came with tokico gas shocks + tein springs. oh and a apexi dual N1 exhaust which has damage but can be salvaged.

[Viggs]

Why would you take off those badass side skirts? lol. :bowrofl: Goodluck with the build though. Hey I have tokico blues and teins too. Never used them though.

[Risu2112]

Hahaha that picture with the seat out reminded me of the time I removed the seat for some reason and tried to drive the car across the street and back into my drive way in between 2 other cars, all while sitting on my leg.

I can't for the life of me remember why I had the seat out.. But yeah, it's a manual so that was very difficult.

Good luck with the shell!

[s13drob]

i was waiting on a motor that i already SHOULD of had coming so i decides 2 prep the shell and wait. i removed the sound deadener which was fairly easy, but time consuming. id say it took like 3 HOT hours. i used the flathead + hammer method since it mostly came out in pig chunks.

and then i decided to paint tha rear interior a charcoal grey using the rattle can method. i also tucked the interior harness around the wheel wells interior to give it more of a clean look. WHERE'd MY WIRES GO? haha

hey its a start though, 400 isnt bad. just stick to it and dont make it another one of those unfinished projects out there and let another s-chassis go to waste! pick up a red top, some coil overs, gut it out prime it and go drift itt

[Risu2112]

I'm always shocked at how clean the results are for people who flathead+hammer. Makes me want to do it to mine >.>

thanx. i plan to finish this. as soon as i get this done/rolling ill be able 2 not depend on my lady 4 a ride.:hammer: hahaha its my last resort haha

when you use the flathead+hammer method its all about the angle of the flathead. 140 degrees plus. o yea and sand everythang after that. till u can feel the adhesive/tar BS

[ByeByeSti]

hahaha i know what you mean i took my dd off the road last week cuz the inspection and registration ran up( 1997 audi a4 with some shit done to it) and my s14 is all torn apart and get cant an sr in it until my audi sells which right now is a bitch to do. so now im stuck finding rides everywhere from friends.

[LongGrain]

looks like youve got a good start, keep it up!

[s13drob]

i plan on painting the exterior the traditional 2-tone, but a twist with charcoal grey bottom and a orange roof and pillars:yum: . thats my plan 4 the paint scheme so far. may change

i removed the sound deadener which was fairly easy, but time consuming. id say it took like 3 HOT hours. i used the flathead + hammer method since it mostly came out in pig chunks.

I've found that if you let the sound deadener sit in a puddle of gasoline for about 20 years, it is much easier to pull it off. Well, at least thats the way it was on my 510. I peeled it right off. lol

Looks like its coming along rather nicely. I'm glad that part of my car will be living on yours...

[alindeman1989]

Keep up the good work. O my neighbor removed his sound dampener with some dry ice. You leave the stuff on there for a little while, and it comes of real easy.

[Kiro1968]

There's an easier way to remove the N.V.H. materials from the floor. I removed all that material all the way to the firewall on my s13 (93 240sx 2dr coupe). Use DRY ICE, no elbow grease required just a broom and pan...that easy:)

[s13drob]

a little test fit for the chuki front bumper. i sanded and need 2 bondo.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/csalgangsta/IMG_7886-1.jpg

headlights thanx 2 s13teddy. sanded and primered

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/csalgangsta/Picture001.jpg

now the combo. front end done. filled the bumper + sanded and installed. chuki signals anyone? looking for a non-cracked set

yea i thought of that method but i tried it with a flathead n it came out in fairly good size chunks (3-4 square size)

[s13drob]

now my thread is catchin up to where im at on the project.

i bought a parts car. a 89 fastback. i got manual doors, holeless hatch, the elusive radio trim haha, 5speed parts (clutch + brake pedal assembly +MC, fresh undamaged rear bumper, uncracked taillights, wheel wells, and a new donut 2 replace my flat.

i sanded and primered pretty much the whole body other than the room and the driver side door (which ima get 2 do 2morrow). heres a pic of the fresh booty
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/csalgangsta/100_0744.jpg

o yea n i got 1 of these. sr20de out of a jdm 94 Q's silvia. i kno. should of went turbo. but i got it from some1 that owed me money. im in process of gettin this compression tested to see how healthy it is. im waiting 2 find a starter and belts.

[CoasTek240]

interesting.
do you plan on keeping it N/A? or will you put a turbo on there?

[Gjohnson7]

I might have missed it in your posts, but what are you plans for the car? Track? Daily? Drift?

[steve shadows]

mmmmm sr20de.

Very cool.

keep us updated

[snowmansent2hel]

turbo or not to turbo that is the question

[s13drob]

turbo or not to turbo that is the question

im tryin so hard 2 not go turbo. N/A would be the business. im in between jobs so right now i just need 2 get it running. but when $$$$$ comes in. im 75% sure ima go ITBs. im in talks of a guy that custom mounts 4age 20v ITBs onto a SR so im trying to get an estimate on parts + labor. THE WORLD IS AT MY FINGERTIPS haha:bigok:

lets say a daily drifter hahaha.

[s13.dark1]

very nice i like the itb idea! keep posting

[BRAIN_Z33]

Ya ITB's would defenitley be teh secks! Might wanna check out TOMEI's line up for SR20DE they also got ITB's just for you....:bigok:

http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/e121_intake_4thro.html

GLWB!

[Bonkers139]

Where did you buy the sr20de?.

[jspec240]

+1 for a fellow budget builder!! thats the way you learn. good job too.

[s13drob]

Where did you buy the sr20de?.

1st off thanx every1. i appreciate it.

i got it from someone that owed me money. i dont know how he got it but im 100% positive its a not a sr20det with the turbo off. its all motor

[rhs13]

i really want to see the sr20de ITB thing happen. i was going to do carbs on my ka24e until i found out it was going to cost about 2k for just the intake manifold.

DO IT.

yea that 2k shit is crazy huh. for the ballers i guess... but u know u can mod streetbike TBs for your KA intake? i forgot which bike but i think it was a CBR1k. could end up costing 400-500$ for everything including fabrication. check into it

[Gjohnson7]

Man, what's up on some larger pictures???? I'm getting to old to be squinting like this.

i think that mod only works "well" on the dual cam KA's intake manifold. its a bit more complicated on the single cam because the design is more retarded.

sounds about right. i wouldnt know. i dont rock a KA heh:bow:

[silviaguy240]

was gonna also suggest fuji-racing for an ITB kit, but they no longer list it for the SR

[s13drob]

since i dont have money to buy a sr tranny and clutch+ flywheel i can work on the FREE stuff. ok i installed the clutch assembly + 5speed brake pedal. i plan to buy a new ss clutchline that goes to the slave cylinder and bypasses the dampner.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/csalgangsta/100_0878.jpg

and i removed the whole HVAC system (heating, vents and AC) -30lbs fairly easy work since my dash was already removed. and then i just slid the parts out 1 by 1 after unbolting.

heres a new pic of the whole shell

[s13drob]

so i started the SR rebuild. i took off the intake and cleaned it inside and out. the throttle body was crusty so i polished it. Removed any debris and high temp painted the whole intake + fuel rail.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21/csalgangsta/100_0967.jpg


i wire wheeled the whole block and painted the valve cover.
