http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/yy123/Lild415/s13%20coupe%20build/209ce594.jpg

[killer240]

Hey DUDE I know you. lol

Hey DUDE I know you. lol

haha yeah thanks man i working on it

i was doing some research on how to run an oil cooler for street driving and found this im happy now

[Nissansota240]

If your looking for a decent oil cooler setup I put a lot of work into researching a setup for my car, I've been daily driving all summer with it, and even into late fall here.

Check it out in my build thread in my sig below, not to try and pull views away from your thread. Nice work your doing.

thanks man ill look over it im still trying to figure out the best way to run it

[Kingbaby]

stance is gonna be mean

in for more

[Nissansota240]

Mine went

When thermostat is closed
motor ---> oil filter ---> thermostat ---> motor

When oil temp increased enough to open the thermostat
motor ---> oil filter ---> thermostat ---> oil cooler ---> motor

the thermostat doesn't open up until a certain degree, I can't remember off hand but it would just circulate back to the motor until it opened allowing full flow to the cooler. That way the oil could warm up some allowing the motor to warm up sooner while still continuously going through the oil filter.

My stock temp gauge doesn't really go much over the C on a normal day.

I was thinking a timing problem based on your description. But that would be unusual if it was pulled from a running vehicle and dropped into your car.

[killer240]

start from small and obvious

check if your getting fuel, if not check fuel pump fuse


I need my chain back

[bc.]

This one time, I swapped return and send fuel lines, my car didn't start either.

I am subbing your build.

[Lil_D]

well i got the car started :)

eNvJRPyK0ns

thank you very much

[future]

Nice. About time you have a running car and keep changing engines back and forth

[Lil_D]

so the reason why it wont hold idle is because i dont have a o2 sensor in so im looking for a small o2 sensor for red top because the treads on mine are gone :(

[drscooper]

nice man! glad its up and running!

[05subysti]

awesome, didnt expect all the sr's and body work.

loving the work equips! what color are you gonna paint the car?

[Lil_D]

[Lil_D]

just found out that my iacv wasnt hooked up -_____- fixed it so im going to start the car in the morning because my neighbors hate me already

[TheRealSy90]

Your timing sounds off also. Was it messed with?

[Lil_D]

Your timing sounds off also. Was it messed with?

timings good it ended up not holding idle because iacv hose wasnt hooked up to the intercooler -___- well got it to hold idle just need to get the o2 sensor and some other little things and car will be ready to drive

[mishimoto]

timings good it ended up not holding idle because iacv hose wasnt hooked up to the intercooler -___- well got it to hold idle just need to get the o2 sensor and some other little things and car will be ready to drive

Good to hear. Well done.

[Lil_D]

Good to hear. Well done.

thanks ^__^ well i wired up my bee*r and safc neo. i started the car and it wouldnt keep idle. i just found that the line that hooks from pcv valve to the intake manifold -__-

[wangan_cruiser]

Didnt know u got a build thread derek

[Lil_D]

Didnt know u got a build thread derek

haha yeah mark :)

well i need your guys help. my tach isnt reading on my cluster but the speedo on the HUD cluster is giving the speed as the revs. so when it was idling the HUD was reading 8mph instead of the 800 rpms. the wires arent switch on the dash connector. any ideas?

[Lil_D]

ok well i just figured out why the motor wouldnt hold idle. the bottom of my freddy intake manifold wasnt completely sealed so i fixed that and now it idles finally :)

well heres a video of me testing my bee*r since i got it to idle
OpC7PNXprBk



edit: well went to make sure the car would still idle and it wont anymore it seams to have another vacuum leak i can hear it but cant find where its coming from. ive had about 4 different vacuum leaks. i really hope this is the last one

Good to hear you are making progress. Might be time to do a smoke test and find the remaining leaks.

[bb4_96]

i was so happy when i saw you were dumping the rotas and stretch tires... then you stretched tires on new wheels.

[drscooper]

nice man sounds mean as hell! glad its doing well!

[Lil_D]

Good to hear you are making progress. Might be time to do a smoke test and find the remaining leaks.

yeah i need to do that. its kind of making me mad that i keep getting all these vacuum leaks lol

i was so happy when i saw you were dumping the rotas and stretch tires... then you stretched tires on new wheels.

i like stretched tires it my style. at least i have real wheels now lol

nice man sounds mean as hell! glad its doing well!

thanks! I'm trying.

What happened to the rear valence in the pic? What type is it?

bomex rear valance sold them to mel (ZAR) i think thats his zilvia name. i was told that no one had it in northern california possibly all of california

[Lil_D]

so i found the vacuum leak is where the fuel rail attaches to the intake manifold

[Mofuhcka]

Seriously cant wait to see this thing out on the streets!

[Lil_D]

well i found a new vacuum leak and fixed it yesterday. car held idle today when i tested it but shot a decent sized puff of smoke so i turned the car off. i let it sit for a little while to try and figure out why the smoke thing happened. as i was cranking it it locked up -___- havent figured out why it did that yet but i was researching and it looks like its something to do with a bad injector :( luckily i have a extra set of stock injectors in my possession.

[Lil_D]

so i took off the fuel rail to try and fix the motor problem.
http://distilleryimage11.s3.amazonaws.com/dccae4a6425611e2925f22000a1fb71a_7.jpg

also hooked up the driveshaft bolted up the tranny added tranny fluid and found out i had 3 of 4 subframe nuts stripped already -___- so when i get my exhaust done im going to see if they will help me with the stripped nuts.

so i took off the fuel rail to try and fix the motor problem.


also hooked up the driveshaft bolted up the tranny added tranny fluid and found out i had 3 of 4 subframe nuts stripped already -___- so when i get my exhaust done im going to see if they will help me with the stripped nuts.

Damn man you keep running into problem after problem, you should just organize everything and go over everything to make sure you'll be good.

[Lil_D]

Damn man you keep running into problem after problem, you should just organize everything and go over everything to make sure you'll be good.

yeah. i had everything organized and little things kept popping up then the injector problem. almost everything else is done just waiting on my rear knuckles and then i can drive the car around for the first time in 16 months

[JDM king240]

too damn clean man cant wait to roll with u

aha yeah i know how you feel, for me it's been technically 14months but I had it out driving for one month in april so since then it's been 8months should be out and completed in another 2. You decide what color your going to paint it?

i think im plastidipping (flame me if you so choose) it white for a few months just so i can daily it and not grab alot of attention then i want to either go back to the original dark green or midnight purple when i have money.

word. no 326 wing no more? and talk to Driven08 about knuckles or D.Adams on here get you a good deal. Unless your trying to buy the PSM drop knuckles then save up, same for wheels, equips are one of my favs.

yep got rid of 326 i felt like it didnt fit my car right. im getting pbm because i have the front lca's already and ive heard really good things about them. for wheels i havent decided if i want to get a pair of equips for the front or a full set of something else. we will see when i get some more money to play around with. for now its get the car reg'd and smogged so i can drive it around

[irritatedmax]

You've definitely stuck with it through multiple problems. I recently had a similar experience with bad gaskets, leaks, bad IACV, etc. Just one thing after the other. It gets frustrating!

Oh okay I see, and yeah psm is very good I personally didnt choose to get the lcas and rlcas due to my thoughts of them being over kill, not really necessary IMO but to each his own, I just modded mine. I'd say get the 2nd pair of equips they'll be awesome, and yeah I get you I wish I could do the same already.

That's why its always good to go over/replace all gaskets, before swapping in the motor.

well i got the rear lcas to get more camber to fit my 12's with out bowing my rear overs lol, and the fronts because i already planned on their angle kit. i want to get the equips but there are alot of other wheels i want we will see when the time comes till then i will be trying to make my car look decent with what i have

[Lil_D]

so i found a hole in my return line to the fuel tank which was causing my car to leak alot of gas onto the ground, hooked up my power steering finally, planning on bleeding my clutch and brakes within the next couple of days. all that i have left to get my car driving is get a front bash bash bar made, get the rear knuckles and then rear z rotors. hopefully in january ill be on the streets driving and getting ready for some track events

[dat925stunna]

Ey d i got rear z rotors bro i have no use for them if ur interested in them there z1 motorsports drilled and slotted and have been redrilled for 4lug ill let em go for cheap dude $20 to be exact


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Lil_D]

i picked up some oem rear z rotors thanks tho tonio. well i was dialing in my front suspension and at full lock my knuckles dont touch the bump stops so im going to mod my extra set of knuckles to make them work until i can afford the pbm front knuckles.

also waiting on these to come in from pbm so i can drive my car already.

Great build man.

[Lil_D]

well i was looking over my car and made a list of things i still need to do before i get the rear knuckles and get my car on the road.

mount intercooler correctly
mount the oil filter
mount my battery box
fix my vacuum leak from the fuel rail
hook up my new HUD cluster
wire up my defi water temp gauge
mount the water temp gauge and my safc
pick up my sparco seat
buy seat rails or get custom mounts made for seat
fix and mount my fan switch
get my exhaust fixed and mounted up
fix my hydro mounting
get rear fenders welded then overs mounted
get an alignment
paint my car all one color so i dont get messed with on the streets
Clean my interior and trunk.

im trying to have most if not all of this done by the time the rear knuckles come in so i can just put the car on the ground and drive it

[Lil_D]

test fitted my buddy's version select front bumper on my car (same one i have minus group a vent)

things are coming along now. set the safc up to where its supposed to be for sr, found a stock drivers seat to run temporarily, found out why the water temp gauge isnt working, cleaned up the interior of my car a little bit. but the only bad thing is i have no room in my garage right now so i cant really work on the car too much right now :(

[Tomme]

I want to see more, and I'd like to know more about using an engine hoist on that sloped-ass driveway!

Mine is similar, and I've yet to try to snatch a motor out.

Mine is similar, and I've yet to try to snatch a motor out.

you just have to be ready to catch the hoist just in case but the motor weight keeps the front on the ground so it doesnt really want to slide down. i weigh 120lbs if i can do it any one can lol

[mishimoto]

^ The weight should keep it from rolling, however some chocks on the wheels may be wise for safety. Looking good OP.

[Lil_D]

ordered my defi control unit last night and started my car after messing with the safc a little.

heres the video lild415: reikokuxdori: @Lild415 (http://mikewright.tumblr.com/post/41062725614/lild415-reikokuxdori-lild415-s-tomei)

sounds better and definitely revs all the way out. im happy with this i cant wait to drive this thing if all goes well in 2 weeks the pbm knuckles will be in and i will be able to drive again :)

i wanna see this thing driving. it sounds beast and your build is amazing. i wish i had a job to afford all the fuckin gangster suspension work youre doing T___T you and justin are going to have the coolest cars in norcal ahha

[Lil_D]

well nothing really new except i have to wait another month for the rear knuckles -_- fml so my plan is to borrow some stock knuckles and taking my car to my buddys shop to get all my welding done. then hopefully drive it around his parking lot then it will sit on a trailer till the pbm knuckles come in

[Lil_D]

so i got the stock knuckles on and the car on the ground :) going to be taking the car to my buddies shop to get the welding finished and over fenders mounted after i get an alignment.

jeeze if you got the minervass SUPER JELLYY

i did get the minervas :) hopefully my buddy will be shipping them out this week so i can put them on

also got a email today saying my rear knuckles have been shipped and are supposed to be here on monday :) then its time for alignment and putting the overs on

[Lil_D]

so i got these after waiting since september :) only problem is that one hole on each knuckles is off by a few mm so the a bolt wont go in straight on the front caliper. but i fixed that by drilling it out a little

http://24.media.tumblr.com/8acf851517ae09abb97a421c48f012c0/tumblr_mjkmsmd7aF1qfebj3o1_250.jpg

http://25.media.tumblr.com/30cee03b465378671f46d88d4ec4ee32/tumblr_mjs12n5BRB1qfebj3o1_500.jpg

my goal is to be scraping oem style side skirts under compression. minervas should be here in a week then im going to adjust the front height so i wont rub. i also need to cut my fenders higher so i can be as low in the rear as i want to be.

[Lil_D]

well got the minervas in and they didnt fit my front brakes :( so i had to put the equips up front

have to lift the front a little so it doesnt rub with the stupid 225/45's on the front. going to fd long beach on friday and saturday will also be piecing together my wing startign at long beach.

the weekend after fd im going to try and take my car to the shop to get the fenders cut higher so i can put my car back at the height i want and put the overs on so i can get it painted and ready for the streets finally

[ShadowMan]

Coming along. But I think your right knee will tire of that defi contol unit after a bit. i had my greddy turbo timer and boost controller mounted in the same spot and I ended up moving them. But maybe it was just the way I rested my leg. Ah, who knows, maybe it won't bother you at all.

im working on picking up a pair of carbon fiber ganador super mirrors. also ordered my fc mounting brackets from Big Country Labs.

leaving to Long Beach for Formula D.

next weekend im going to be trying to get my car to the shop next weekend to cut my rear quarter panels more and mount my hydro better as well as put my exhaust, and rear overs on

what in the hell is up with the body parts? Normally i dont like to really talk shit on peoples build threads but i gotta know. It looks like your over fenders, front fenders and front bumper could fly off at any minute

dont you have a build thread on 240sxforum

The rears are super bowed out because I didn't want to run on 18x12's nothing's going to fly off haha the front fenders are flare out a little in the back for more clearance at lock and front bumper is a little saggy because I'm not running a bumper support or bash bar right now. I do have a build there but I never go on it haha

[Big Zee]

great read!! look forward to more updates!!
if its bogging, try advancing your timing a bit or playing with your CAS.

one thing though, in all your pics, you don't seem happy. smile once inna while haha, lets the rest of the world know your not a zombie in disguise lol

i think 18x10 -47 is a little too much for what i want. im planning on 18x10 -25 for the front

my car was just sitting while i helped max get his car together for the slammed society showcase at fd.

http://distilleryimage8.s3.amazonaws.com/6a5627082ecf11e3acc922000ae81df1_8.jpg

I finally started it and heard a ticking from the head and got a little sad so i took the valve cover off and take a look.

http://distilleryimage8.s3.amazonaws.com/41cbc20a305211e3affb22000aa8059e_8.jpg

i took the exhaust cam off because it sounded like the tick was coming from there. When i took the cam off there was a small gash around where the cam sits under the first cam cap. There was also a similar gash on the head at the back. so i put the cam back in and tightened everything up. after i put the head back together i decided i was going to tear my harness apart so i can simplify it and clean up all the mistakes i made when i was shortcutting to get the car drivable.

What did you do to get the rear overs how you like them?

What specs on rear wheels and tires?

How low is your car all around?

Why not go zero offset up front on 10" wide wheels?

[Lil_D]

What did you do to get the rear overs how you like them?

And what specs on rear wheels and tires?

Why not go zero offset up front on 10" wide wheels?

i pinched them together a little then riveted them on.

in those pics it was 18x12 -20 with -5 camber and 265/35

current is 18x12 +0 with about -1 camber same fenders set up

rear is maxed with 1 collar removed currently and front is maxed with 2 collars removed. look at the last pic i posted to get approximate height

fronts will be 10 -25 just waiting on money and my drift spares to come in so i can re build both at the same time

[Black R]

Are those 50mm rear overs?

I guess my questions are more along the lines of why go such negative offset if you aren't in danger of rubbing on the inside?

I know the scrub radius must be getting crazy up front.

yeah they are 50mm bowed out

when i had the model 5's up front they were 10 -16 and i was rubbing inner well while turning. so im going to get do -25 offset up front to fill my front fenders and so i wont rub. still have to tub my front end havent gotten to pulling my motor yet. we will see soon how everything feels up front. rear is perfect now just need an alignment and to put my car back together so i can start driving it and drifting again

[Black R]

Ok, I'm not hating just curious.

I really like your build and it's progressing nicely.

My car is kinda like a weird long list twin of yours, so I get it.

I'm trying to figure out my front fitment also, but I'm starting at 18x12 +20 all around, and modding my coilover ears and upper strut holes up front instead of going so negative on offset. Different strokes.

I'm not sure there's an advantage in preventing rubbing by going so negative on offset (although I love negative offset) - I'm just coming from a max tire perspective.


Subbed!

thanks man! only thing is 12+20 in the rear depending on camber will be very close too the inner well/ coil just be ready for that

My car used to have those og equips, went to vs-xx now. But those equips always look good.

[Black R]

thanks man! only thing is 12+20 in the rear depending on camber will be very close too the inner well/ coil just be ready for that


I'm running -2deg of camber in the rear.

It seems to fit fine everywhere - I tested it yesterday with 335/30/18's and 50mm overs.

I'm going to lower it a bit more - maybe another 1.5 to 2".
My frame rails are 4.5" from the ground in the rear.

update 2/1/15

so back in november i started my car and it didnt sound right so i pulled my valve cover off and noticed that my dowel pin on the intake cam was almost out of the cam gear and the cam gear bolt had loosened. then i noticed the springs on cylinder 3 were lower then the rest. so i pulled my head and noticed the bent valves.

i put the equips back on because im planing on building the panasports soon also lifted the rear to try and help save the axles a little

i figured out why i kept breaking axles so fast. i extended my pbm rlcas about 3 inches and wasnt running axle spacers. i shortened them and the ruca to get the camber back to what it was. i cant figure out why my camber is off by -.7 on one side with all the arms equal. going to get back under the car friday and figure it out.

Slight update

My friend Albert came by to check out my engine set up and pick my brain about my motor and learn more about sr's before he started his swap. I took him around the block to let him feel my cars power and after he took this rad picture of my car

http://40.media.tumblr.com/12c4f4fac6e4c2957af37a60d20eb5e0/tumblr_nos67bjxMO1qzb388o1_1280.jpg

He also did me a huge favor and dropped my rear panasport faces off at wheelflip to get built

The guys at wheelflip sent me these pictures and made me want to drive down to pick the wheels up sooner then I was already planning haha

So I took my trip down to socal to hang out with some friends and get the panasports. I decided to stop by street faction's new shop to hang out with Matt and Thao and check out the new shop. It's crazy thinking the first time I met them Matt was welding in his driveway. It's crazy what hard work and determination will get you

As soon as I got back from socal I put the panasports on my car to see how they looked.

Very happy with how they look but they were slightly more aggressive then I thought they would be. I guess i can't measure offset well anymore haha. I adjusted a little camber in the rear to make them fit and took the car around the block to make sure it didn't destroy my overs. Thankfully it didnt so I parked it and started figuring out what else I had to do before my retune.

https://40.media.tumblr.com/3806ab3fe9bb5d63913b6bd98742af21/tumblr_nsqbko1kY31qfebj3o1_1280.jpg

I flew out to Seattle to hang out with dpomps and some other friends. Derrik's car was supposed get tuned the day before the show so he could drive it into the show but due to some little problems it wasn't ready in time so we had to push it into the show. As we were pushing it into the show Larry Chen approached Derrik and asked if he wanted to be in Speedhunters and of course he said yes. Larry told us that he wanted the car on the other side of track for the photoshoot. We all started pushing the car as fast as we could to get it where it needed to be before the pros had practice.

After he got all of the pictures he wanted he asked if all the people that pushed the car wanted to take a picture of course we all said yes

https://40.media.tumblr.com/e709b12728f798305940ee404bee22e4/tumblr_ntkpy92ENU1qfebj3o5_1280.jpg

One of the workers pulled Derrik's car with a truck to where the show was and Derrik and I pushed his car to a spot in the show and we walked around a little. It was nice seeing some of the cool cars from Canada and Washington. I finally got to meet the guys from Good Vibes and take a look at all their cars

https://40.media.tumblr.com/7de9337319f92f9c1f4eee77e2b43974/tumblr_ntkpy92ENU1qfebj3o3_1280.jpg

We went up in the stands to watch some of the drifting. The Forrest Wang and Mad Mike battle was definitely my favorite battle of the day, but it was also crazy watching the JTP crash in person. Derrik and I decided to go back to his car since the drifting was almost over and we found Drezza's car parked right next to him so i took a quick picture

https://40.media.tumblr.com/f5d66f36b2ab8366a504c2736d986795/tumblr_ntkpy92ENU1qfebj3o4_1280.jpg

It was super awesome talking to Daniel and seeing all of the attention to detail on his car. His car is truly perfect in my opinion and pictures don't do it any justice.

I got back home and went to take my car around the block just to make sure everything is still good and I noticed that I was almost out of gas. I did a little messing around with my underglow trying to figure out why it was turning off whenever i turned my headlights on. I realized that when I used the pop up switch as my underglow power and ground when the headlights turned on it cut ground causing the lights to turn off. After a while of messing with the wiring to figure that out and trying to find a proper ground I finally fixed it.

https://40.media.tumblr.com/f982a88722cde46f100a62fdd677618e/tumblr_ntksyidKS21qfebj3o1_1280.jpg

The next day I decided to drive my car to work to get some gas and see how the car felt on the road. This was the farthest I've driven my car on the streets in a few years and it felt really good driving it and the looks I got while I was getting gas was priceless.

https://36.media.tumblr.com/b18f05cc0a15dc58c730f4ee7dfb1ef4/tumblr_ntkpy92ENU1qfebj3o1_1280.jpg

Car is sitting now waiting till I take it to Blacktrax for a retune in September. I bought a few other things that I'm waiting to show up. I can't wait for my car to be retuned and ready to take back to the track.

Ps. all pictures were taken with potato

Sup derek :coolugh: lets get more photos of the whip with the new g7s :wackit:

[Lil_D]

So I'm finally getting some time after the drive back from formula drift to give a slight update.

In preperation to showing my car at formula drift I bought a couple little things. Rod from AUTOnGraphic helped me get a new passenger seat and spoiler.

Rod shipped me out the thrash racing seat and g corp type 1 spoiler

Installed the trash seat and took a shitty picture

Towed my car down to SoCal to show it at FD Irwindale. As i was closing the door to my car on the trailer my driver side door slammed onto the trailer fender. We strapped the car down and started driving down to SoCal. About half way down we decided to fill up the truck and I noticed that one of my side skirts was about to fall off so I took it off and put it in the truck. I spent the day before FD swapping the shocks on my lambo doors so i was able to use them at the event.

I ended up rolling in a little late for the car show and the Serial Nine guys rolled in behind me.

http://41.media.tumblr.com/36ecc14ee52dafd3691c4eda3b24ab1b/tumblr_nw0nwbrQzF1qfebj3o1_1280.jpg

It was awesome talking to them and they even helped me push my car in the 100* heat since my car was starting to get hot waiting in line. I finally got a place to park and was ready to leave and get some food but i lost my wrist band so i was stuck inside.

and now here is a photo dump from formula drift

Update 12/30/15

So a little after coming back from formula drift I decided I was going to swap cams and re tune the car so I could have more low end. I picked up a pair of tomei 256 cams off frsport. got my car tuned and made 283hp and 213tq. took the car out to thunder hill skid pad to drive the gldstr event.

Love this thread

[Basks13]

Great build...problem after problem you kept pushing through it all to get it to where it is now. Such inspiration to us coupe owners.
I cant wait to get back home in a few months and start on the coupe I just bought.

Love this thread
thank you!

thank you!

so in january i had an issue with the motor where it just kinda locked up i believe that it hydrolocked but wasnt sure. so i pulled my freddy intake manifold and saw a bunch of oil in there and i ended up selling that and getting a stock intake manifold. i then pulled the pbm high mount and found out there was about 1/2 quart of oil in there. i also ended up selling the high mount and picked up a ghetto front mount kit. hooked everything up and the car started right up. I signed up for a full track drift event to test out the car since club drift got cancelled by the venue. It was raining on the full track day and i dont have wipers anymore so i could barely see but once i started drifting i blew off couplers as soon as i got into boost. so my day was cut short due to the couplers blowing off. I just got all of that fixed about a week ago and im doing full track next sunday and hopefully everything will be cool and i can get a better feel for the car and stay out the whole day.

heres a couple interior shots

hopefully i can borrow a go pro from a friend and be able to make a little video

[TheRealSy90]

I don't see what the manifold and intercooler had to do with them getting oil inside them. Sounds like a blow by or turbo issue to me.

All was going well after fixing my last blown off coupler until a friend of mine decided to hop in a tandem behind me after I told him not to. I took a weird line and had to straighten and right before i went to reinitiate he passed me. I reinitiated on the second to last corner, as I transitioned into the last corner he spun out and I was too close to avoid him.

I had an awesome time driving and the car felt amazing. I recently purchased a 35:8 (4.375) Ring and Pinion that I Just installed 5/22/16 and as i was taking the diff apart I saw that 2 of the welds on my spider gears were cracked a little so today I'm going to have it rewelded and a plate added.

Evan has an awesome view from his house

stopped by Jakes house in Portland and got some tacos and hung out before i headed up to seattle
https://67.media.tumblr.com/9dffdbb3bd4961cf6c29f3d40728a358/tumblr_of5spaohnv1qfebj3o4_1280.jpg

I left Jake's and about 20 minutes later my battery light came on in the truck so i pulled over to the closest parking lot and tried to find a decent spot where i didn't block everything. Jake came and picked up the trailer with my car on it and i unloaded all my spares and tools from the truck into his truck so i could get some sleep before I swapped my alternator in the morning

I was able to swap the alternator load my truck up then put trailer back on my truck in about an hour then headed straight to seattle to pick up my friend in Seattle before heading to Canada. Had a little issue at the border due to me towing my car across the border but I they let me and I headed straight to my friend Pete's house. As soon as we got to Pete's house I pulled my car off the trailer and did some last minute prep for the street drifting later that night.

Met up with Brandon (thatkoukikid) and the rest of good vibes and proceeded to grab some food then go out to some street spots.

i snapped my ebrake cable at the last spot so I called it an early night. Pete was generous enough to let me have his hand brake so I would have one at the rest of my drift days that were coming up. I spent Sunday pulling his ebrake out of his car and then installing it on my car as well as getting some poutine and kbbq before heading down to Daniel's house in Washington.

Daniel and I spent Monday doing last minute things to our cars before our private drift day at evergreen on Tuesday.

Heres a couple videos from the private day

Day after the event Pete and I roamed around Seattle for the day before packing up and heading down to Socal. After working on the car i went to start it to load it onto the trailer and the fuel pump wouldn't prime. i called a few people to try and get a new pump and decided i would try to start it one last time and it worked so i loaded the car up and my friend in socal ordered me a pump to be delivered to his house the day that i get there.

Thursday Pete and I left Washington at around 1pm. We were making good time only stopping to get gas until we got to grants pass in Oregon. As i was climbing the mountain pass my alternator was going out so i had no power. I called Evan and he was able to find a oriely close to where i was and i just kept driving hoping the truck would make it to the oriely. I was able to get there 4 minutes before they closed and had to pay for another alternator since the warrantee alternator was on my truck still. Pete helped me swap the alternator in the parking lot then we were back on the way. We made it to Stockton by 4am friday where i decided to take a nap at a truck stop for a couple hours before finishing the drive to socal.

Finally got down to my friend Geoff's (pacotaco345) house around 1pm friday. We packed up his truck and car for the private day we were both driving at grange the next day. Around 5pm the fuel pump showed up so we pulled my sending unit to and noticed that one of the wires wasn't connected. I tried to hook the wire back up and see if the pump would turn on but it wouldn't so we hard wired the pump just so i could drive. we got to the track around 8pm and then unloaded our cars and set up our pits next to my friend Aaron's cressida.

Aaron and I got to shake down for super d the next day and man that track was fun.

Super d came and there were so many people at such a small track. I was only able to get 5 drifting laps in before blowing up my diff. The car was also getting hot really fast so I had to do a bunch of cool down laps before drifting.

Trip was awesome much seat time and so many new friends made was awesome meeting everyone and hanging out

[corkscrew]

Awesome update

[Lil_D]

i havent updated this in a while. as of right now my car is sitting at a friends shop in pieces waiting for some attention and a new motor. i will update more soon

[Lil_D]

so on 12/30/16 i decided to go drive horse thief mile for the first time and it happened to be raining. It was my first time on the track and only 2nd time driving in the rain. It was a lot of fun and a learning experience. i got stuck once and thankfully my friend showed up right after i got stuck to pull me out. went back out a few more times then went off super hard and got a bunch of rocks in the bead of my passenger front tire so i had to call it a day early unfortunately https://68.media.tumblr.com/581513471e85cbd22d6165f1cd9bcb5e/tumblr_ou6iqa1AWd1qfebj3o1_1280.jpg

After horse thief i went to Hawthorne to drop my truck and trailer off and a friend picked me up. We stopped by my friend Ernie's shop to pick up some zestinos tires to test out and he was nice enough to let me drive his jzx100.

After leaving Ernie's we went to my friend Jaime's shop to hang out

1/1/17 I was able to drive at Grange for andy's tire drift day. I spent most of my day trying to get the entry down and chasing Jose from Socalsidewayz

https://68.media.tumblr.com/f8ea8bdd890fc2a585dead7e61a46ff9/tumblr_ou6isoSGkr1qfebj3o7_1280.png

my day was cut a little short because jose ended up braking after he manji'd a straight section and i couldn't tell he was braking since his brake lights were always on. I put my car where his was supposed to be and by the time i could tell he was stopping and not transitioning back i couldn't slow down enough.
here is the carnage

I also ended up blowing my rear bumper up when i dirt dropped into a puddle

2/26/17 a friend of mine hosted a private day at thunderhill so I fiberglassed my car back together and got ready for the event. i wasnt able to get the bumper or fender re painted before the event but i thought it looked decent enough for a private day with friends

https://68.media.tumblr.com/f6ce7cc582924cd81c80e03e258c97f8/tumblr_ou6isoSGkr1qfebj3o9_1280.jpg

I decided to drive up the night before the event and camp out so i was the first person at the track when it went hot. During the time no other drivers were there i was able to test out the zestino gredge r and my friend Matt Dion was there to get some pictures of me

https://68.media.tumblr.com/4e4f010849c5c53a6d684a224e335b9e/tumblr_ou6itr7bvg1qfebj3o5_1280.jpg

I enjoyed the zestinos a lot. They had a ton of grip and the car felt very controlled. The only thing was they didn't last super long like I was hoping.
The rest of my friends and my boss came and we all got to have some fun on track.

https://68.media.tumblr.com/64f88268efc883121b546fd40f532d3b/tumblr_ou6itr7bvg1qfebj3o1_1280.jpg

I burned through the zestinos before I could tandem with my friend Brandon. i threw on my blitz with some triangles on them and i dropped the down to 20psi in the tires and i still felt like i was ice skating.

I was also able to drive with my friend Corey and his jzx100 unfortunately I don't have any pictures of us driving together.

while i was tandeming with Corey i felt my car lose power but i kept in it until i heard knocking. i pulled off track and my car shut off and wouldn't crank. I loaded my car up and got it all ready to leave then hung around with my friends till they were finished. I got home and unloaded the car and let it sit for a few weeks. I finally decided to pull the sr and get it looked at by my friend Justin. I forgot how horrible my engine bay looked

A few weeks later I went down to SoCal to visit and Ernie was kind enough to invite me to the zestino's BBQ where i was able to check out and sit in Satsukawa's R32

Needless to say I started searching for a new block. After that I found a block locally and was able to give everything to Justin to get it all machined and ready. I picked up some little things like a Tomei oil block, Greddy Theromstatic oil filter relocation, Trust Style midmount manifold, Tial 38mm wastegate, GTX2860, Defi VSD II, Strobes and new aero

After the monkey tour I went and got food at a restaurant that was made around a US cargo airplane that had been shot down nicaragua in 1986

The week before I went to Costa Rica there was a big tropical storm that went through the country. The storm uprooted a huge tree at the resort

When I got back to norcal Justin was just leaving out of the country for business. When he got back I went over to talk to him and figure out when i would be able to send my car to paint. We also figured out how to fit the turbo and wastegate to the manifold and how to run the intercooler piping, exhaust and oil cooler lines.

November 2017

I dropped my car off to Paul at Wise concept hydrographic in Oregon to have him paint the car

https://78.media.tumblr.com/b08dc35515597276a774321237748060/tumblr_ozt4ahoX4Z1qfebj3o3_1280.jpg

Before i sent the car off to Oregon Justin and i got the turbo mounted and a down pipe made so that Paul could paint the engine bay as well.

https://78.media.tumblr.com/b0eabbf97fadc660f079453f5d01bd8e/tumblr_ozt4ahoX4Z1qfebj3o1_1280.jpg

Paul started working on my car a couple weeks after I dropped it off to him. He welded up some parts of my front end and engine bay to help make it more sturdy after all the stuff I cut out like a dumbass. He also cut and welded the tubs a little to help make a little more room.

Paul got my front end situated and started mounting up the panels

https://78.media.tumblr.com/2c1750ac1631d4520786469c65a25fdf/tumblr_p262nzSNAO1qfebj3o10_1280.jpg

after he sent me that picture i decided i either needed to get 215/35/18's or lift my front end a little. I'm still trying to decide what would be better to not destroy these fenders

Paul rolled the car out of the shop to give me an idea of my ride height and how the fenders fit with the current tire

https://78.media.tumblr.com/68f654a47c0ba5f4b67f1072f9f9b266/tumblr_p262p2BDpR1qfebj3o1_1280.jpg

[tuzzio]

Front looks so good with those fenders and height..but you don't want rub through them.

[brndck]

Shut up.

Also.

Bring me panas.

[Mofuhcka]

Im hyped this car is still alive. Shoulda stayed onevia though

[Lil_D]

After getting the front end situated Paul started working on making the aero fit

I told him I didn’t want the front bumper to look like the other 326 s13’s and he made started making the front bumper fit exactly how I pictured it.

After he sent me those pics he started fiberglassing the bumper together. he told me that he had to narrow the front bumper about 3.5inches for it to fit

After the front bumper was together he started working on the rear bumper. In the first picture you can see that the upper body line isn’t really visible in these origin fenders

He added these mounting brackets to the bumper so i can bolt it like its oem if I choose

https://78.media.tumblr.com/64be9b92330e8cdee117977313dca4ed/tumblr_p2ucqvxWzt1qfebj3o3_1280.jpg

I was able to find fog lights that fit the 3dstar bumper so Paul made me some brackets to mount the lights onto the bumper

Found out that my origin fenders needed a little more work then the should have for brand new fenders. The gas door hole wasn’t big enough so Paul fixed that and also added the body line into the fender

my friend George towed my car back down from Bend to Justin’s shop in Modesto.

I met George at Justin’s shop and as soon as the car got there Justin and I started assembling the motor back to where it was so we could build the intercooler piping and exhaust.

we started by making the wastegate dump pipe and the exhaust with the oval piping I purchased

we ran out of oval after that point so the exhaust was put on hold for a little while we did some other stuff. I decided that I wanted to make chrome s14 door handles fit my door panels. My friend was nice enough to let me use his plastic to test on my spare door panel to see how much I would need to add or cut out for the opening.

turns out i needed to add some material to make the handles sit right. After a night of work I was able to make the handles fit properly

A couple days later I went back to Justin’s after work and we built my intercooler piping. the original idea was to have a straight coupler off the intercooler but we decided it would be better to use 90’s but we only had one at the time.

https://78.media.tumblr.com/a3aca24b0aeffa3f51657918f4a97be1/tumblr_p6bsmndqkb1qfebj3o8_1280.jpg

4/11/18

I went to Justin's shop with some of my friends that were heading to super d with me. The plan was to leave on the 11th at night to socal and tune the car on the 12th then test for super d on the 13th for a couple hours. That didn't work out well haha.

So on the 11th We started doing all the little things and wiring everything up so I would be able to tune. Wiring and installing the interior ended up taking way longer than we thought it would and Justin and I stayed up all night wiring and installing the interior. We ended up finishing the wiring and interior install around 8-9am on the 12th. We werent completely done with the wiring but we got all the important stuff wired and I was fine with that. I was supposed to be on the dyno in socal at 9am on the 12th and now I was unsure if I would be able to get dyno time on the 13th and be able to drive super d. Here are some pics from that night.

I was ready to load the car up and head to socal when the door poppers didn't work properly so we had to adjust them and make super they would be good to go. Finally got the car all loaded up around noon then we went to grab food and fill up the tank with 100 octane

Jason Kim from Rival Autoworks told me to be at apexi at 9am on the 13th for a tuning session. We got to our airbnb in Pasadena around 11pm on the 12th and we had to unhook the trailer to fit the truck in the airbnb since there was no street parking allowed at the place we were staying. I woke up around 6 am so I could pack the truck back up and hook the trailer back up and then get to Apexi in Orange by 9am.

After the tune was all done and we loaded the car back up it was about 9pm. We were going to head out to super d and camp out but I was told they locked the gates and we wouldn't be able to get in so we made the decision to not go to the track and try and get some real sleep before super d killed us. Got to the track around 7 so we could go to the 8:30am drivers meeting and the gate was locked. When we got there the pits were already packed with cars thankfully my friends saved me a spot near the track exit.

Day one of super d I wasn't driving as hard as I normally would but this was the first time driving the car in over a year and the motor set up was brand new to me. I got a couple tandems in and was getting comfortable in the car again then all of a sudden my car felt super loose and the back end would just kick out when i was going 5mph around a corner. my friend yelled at me that i was leaking when we were at the last corner so I drove off track. I got off the track and saw my oil pressure start to drop so I shut the car off and pushed it into my spot that was about 20 feet away and found out that the drain plug had shot out on track. There was about 3-4 quarts that dumped out of the oil pan in my spot so I was hoping I would be safe. I talked to Miles (baller hauler) and we found out that the threads on the oil pan were stripped so I had to go find a tap big enough to tap the moroso pan. After stopping at 2 part stores, home depot and lowes there wasn't a single tap set up i could use so i grabbed 3 bolts so we could try and thread one in. Miles slit the bolt that was 1 size bigger than the drain plug was so we could try and use it as a tap. That didn't work so he told me as a last resort I would jb weld the bolt I had bought that was the same size as the drain bolt but a different pitch. I decided that was the best bet so I could have the piece of mind of knowing if I just blew up this brand new motor. Here is a photo dump from the first day. I don't remember all the photographers I'm sorry

Did you change the oil after the engine break in on the dyno? Crazy that it randomly stripped like that.

Yeah I did an oil change on the dyno. Bolt was tight made sure not to over tighten it. It lasted all day on the dyno then half way through Saturday. Idk why it stripped. I talked to someone (I think it was baby j) he said that his drain plug was welded and he used the Allen as the drain plug. I might end up doing that or I was looking at the canton pan for sr

[Lil_D]

Unfortunately I was not able to drift at night since the jbweld hadn't hardened in time. I woke up around 7am and the jbweld was hard so I poured oil in and unplugged my fuel pump to build up oil pressure. I plugged the fuel pump back in and car started up and there was no bottom end noise. I felt super lucky that the motor didn't blow up. I checked to see if I was leaking any oil and couldn't see anything so I decided to take the car on track and make sure everything was good before I put my front bumper on again. After a couple grip laps to make sure oil pressure didn't drop I decided it was time to do some 3rd gear entries like I had at previous drift events at grange.

I drifted the back section to feel out the tires before I did the entry. I went to transition on the last sweeper and as soon as I clutch kicked the car popped out of 2nd. I put the car back in second to try and drive to the pregrid and the it just free rev'd like I was in neutral. :facepalm: I got back to my pit and just walked around and talked to people. I talked to Teddy from realize and he had just found out he broke his axle half shaft. We talked for a little and after the event was over we rolled his car and my car next to each other to take some pics.

After this I went to load my car up on the trailer. A friend asked me if he could shoot the car before I loaded the car up. Of course I said yes and drove back on track so Mark and Jesus could take pictures

Got the car loaded up and strapped down and assessed the damage I had done to the car at super d. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I need to get another transmission and some other little things and take the car back to Justin to finish up some little wiring things so I can drive it on the street on occasion.
