Dat bi daint RHD kouki sr20det build! Lots of pics

[projectkouki]

Hi all, after owning an 89 sr20 powered coupe and giving it to my brother, i finally found a 97 240sx for a great price! I am building another sr20det and converting it to RHD just for the hell of it!:naughtyd:
Here's what it looked like on the inside when i first bought it!

Fixed it up to stock and put some PBM coil overs and rims on it! Just need the lip for it!

Bought an S14 sr20 bottom end to put my s13 head on it! Had to plug the hole to make the s13 head work!

[No 240.. No id]

do you have a clear pic of the tool you used for the broken bolts? how did you use it?

[twinspool]

This is the most baller build ever on this site! lol

Here's a clearer pic!

This kit I bought from lowes! It works like a revers drill bit! I simply just drilled a small hole in the center of the bolt then used the kit and reversed the drill and it came right out! Comes in handy!

[rawgarage]

Keep working it will be nice

[Teigen]

Great, the DOC mani is very good it seems and after what I've heard. What intake are you going with?

Must been some wacko those cambolts, breaking on less than the tightening specs lol.
Planning to strip and paint your engine bay too when you first have it like this?


Keep it coming

Peace :)

[pjmrnolife1]

Plans and pics for your steering column setup please

[twinspool]

Interested in pics of the intricate radio/cd play set up you have going on there!!!!

[projectkouki]

okay guys, here's some more pics of the steering column setup my brother from Dat bi daint Motorsports fabbed up for me! Why buy a JDM clip when you can make the shit yourself!:facepalm: Haters keep hating!

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/uraskit/alpha008.jpg
Im probably going to do a custom dash or i might try to fit an S15 dash! not sure yet but I will get more pics soon! Thanks :bow:

[projectkouki]

Thank you so much. Am defiantly buying one.

NO problem!:bigok: It is definately a must have tool when working on motors or vehicles!

[twinspool]

I don't see why spend time fabbing up a fire wall and stuff when you could have easily spent 500+ on a front clip and more time fabbing to get it to work and look just as good as you made it hidden behind a dash??

Hater! Red neck rhd ftw!

[Thmotorsports]

agreed with twinspool but hey what ever works works!!! maybe he wanted to practice the fabing up skills :D

Good work though! cant wait for it to be done

thanks man! i can't wait to finish it!

[Teigen]

Dat bi Daint!

[Extreme Dimensions]

DAMN!!! keep this build up RHD <3

[projectkouki]

Dat bi Daint!
That's right!

[projectkouki]

DAMN!!! keep this build up RHD <3
Lol thanks bro! Just waiting on funds right now! Ill update with more pics soon!

[twinspool]

Good work though! cant wait for it to be done

I don't agree with twinspool, this guy could have just spent $700+ on a rhd clip, waited for it to come in, cut out one fire wall then cut the other (don't forget the wipers), and welded it in and in the end spending more time on it, but he just chose the path that saves you money and time and will work just as good and look just as good hidden behind a dash... don't praise this thread!!!










LMAO jk I'm the one doing the fab work on this car, I'm just talking crap hahahahh

[projectkouki]

Just received more funds so update! The exhaust fabbed up by Marc from dat bi daint motorsports!! DAT BI DAINT!!

Peace :)

Make sure you follow the tightening sequence per FSM. If you dont follow it, you're liable to snap more cam retainer bolts.

[Ka24Power]

Also stopped by the bolt store today!

Please tell me this is a joke. You can't run mild grade hardware in place of camshaft cap bolts.

[projectkouki]

No joke... Bolts are grade 8 and heat treated.

[Ka24Power]

I would personally never replace any internal engine hardware with a bolt that isn't application specific. Your engine your call though!

[projectkouki]

I agree with what you are saying! I wouldnt have bought them if the owner of the only bolt store here that had bolts that worked didnt tell me that these bolts are made for engine wear and tare. Besides I got to thinking after I bought the bolts that ill only replace the ones that snapped. So the picture I posted is misleading...

[Ka24Power]

Hope it works out, make sure you tighten the cams in the correct factory sequence!

[projectkouki]

i saw a picture of the sequence but not sure if its right. do you know what the right sequence is?

[Piggy]

Nice to see this in the area. When and where will I be able to see this thing out?

[projectkouki]

thanks man! i hope to have it done by crusin the coast!

[Ka24Power]

I don't know the sequence off hand, I'd recommend looking it up in the FSM

[Piggy]

thanks man! i hope to have it done by crusin the coast!

I'll see it there hopefully.

[zenkiZ]

where the updates at??

[projectkouki]

Waiting on funds. And trying to get these damn shims sized correctly! And trying to get the zenki ready for the drift day!

[japslapsilvia]

Dude you should NOT use those bolts to hold your cam caps. They are Fully Threaded. Stock ones are NOT and there is good reason for them not being fully threaded.

The shank (non threaded portion) of the stock bolt is bigger in diamater then the threaded portion, so that the fit in the cap is tight. Your Fully threaded bolts will leave a gap, which will inturn make it impossible to achieve the fully required clamping load of the caps. Furthermore the threads can act as a slow speed mill and eventually distort the holes in the caps.

[projectkouki]

This is true. Im not going to use them! I'm going with original bolts. Just need to find some.

[japslapsilvia]

order cam cap studs from RHDjapan, Naprec makes them. sooo much easier instead of bolts.

[projectkouki]

Couldnt find them on the rhdjapan site so I just ordered the oem bolts from frsport!
