got a sweet deal for an RB powered s13

[OneForMe]

6k hella mint.

but there is a few problems wrong with the car that i would like to ask for opinions here.

first of all im no mechanical genius (hey we all gotta start somewhere)


i know the bascis since my girls bro is into cars. but yea. most of us would start off with a KA or even an sr but i got a deal i couldnt pass on this car.



first things first.

the dashboard panel doesnt work, seller said he never even bothered trying to see how the oem 240 gauges would work with the swap so he let it be like that.


no a/c or power steering


(theres is PS lines except they cut them when they did the swap but no pump or A/C compressor) there isnt anything



so basically those 2 things are the things i need opinions off.


how much basically and i can just pull out a freakin 300zx compressor and PS pump and install it?


and

just misc.


would it be a pain in the ass to do a power windows/locks swap?
basically just get someones elses panals and window motors?


thanks alot and im glad im finally an owner after 1 1/2 year of looking:w00t:

i'm sorry but "hella mint" and "few problems" don't belong in the same sentence

Which RB is it? I'm going to take a wild guess and say RB20? The stock Tach won't work but the rest of the gauges will work, your going to need to do some harness work. Might want to take the time and change the timing belt, tensioner, idler pulley and water pump before you start to drive it if this hasn't been done already. Join a RB forum and do a little searching 1st so they don't bite your head off.

well. it is mint. perfect interior, exterior, 140xxxx miles in 18 years.


the guy didnt want power steering or a/c. so he left it like that.


i want to get those two things to work.




but no its an RB25det

yeah now that u have an rb, id read up as much as you can. a lot of what you might be wondering was probablly covered already, several times. personally i think nico has the best rb section. theres also a new one... i forget what it was though.. rbforums.org i think?

my rb25 power steering worked with the DOHC lines and the rb ps pump. pick up a new (or used) pump and anything else RB from rawbrokerage.com
