#Project180 a story involving rotary, type x, SR & 2j

[2stepGoesPowPow]

well, i been on this forum for almost 2 years now and always wanted to have a build thread of my own to be proud of and since my project has a good amount of progress i figured its time to start one.

Since i was about 13 i was obsessed with imports, while all the other kids talked about exotic cars, like ferrari's, lamborghini, etc. i was talking about the orange supra from The Fast and the Furious:2f2f: , so after years of dreaming of being behind the wheel of a japanese import, 18 finally came around, i got my license & it was time to find my first car. I wanted a RWD import, something cool like in all the movies, youtube videos i was always watching at home and in school but, My dad always kept telling me i had to get something AWD for safety so i was pushing for an eclipse GSX or a bugeye 02 wrx, something that was awd since i had no choice, an import, and boosted. However as most kids hopes for there first car mine did not go as planned. August 3rd 2010 Me and my dad went to a Marshals auction in Brooklyn, We had walked into the lot after inspection time had ended and they had started auctioning off cars one by one. We had no intention of buying a car. They began bidding on a car in the corner of the lot i couldnt really see exactly what it was, all i saw a car with shiny rims, my dad mentioned if the price was rite it could be worth it just to buy the car to sell the rims and part it out. The car looked cool to me from the little bit of the front end i could see so i said yeah sure lets bid, we ended up winning the auction for $600. It was in crap condition for the most part, faded paint, cracked bumpers, one headlight didnt work, stock seats were slashed up, had a broken passanger mirror, pleanty of rust underneath and like 170k miles. However it had a muffler missing so it rediculously loud, had lowering springs but once i saw it was a 1989 Mazda RX-7 i thought it was the coolest car ever! All it needed was a battery and it started rite up. This was the car as i bought it fresh out of the auction lot.

After realizing the wheels were just XXR's and explaining to my dad that the wheels are pretty much worthless and a bunch of begging my dad let me have it for my first car. I was psyched, i was going to have a RWD after all. Since we got it for so cheap my dad agree'd to get the car a nice quality paintjob that consisted of pleanty of drips and dirt in the paint from some hole in the wall body shop in brooklyn. I also order'd a AIT G4 body kit. It took like 3 months for it to get painted, it was rediculous. Everytime we went to check on the car the guy said it would be ready next week, that he just had to polish it. So we finally said screw the polish, went there with a uhaul car trailer and said give us the car, he still went on with the BS so we called the cops and told them he wouldnt give us the car back and so he finally took it out and gave it to us, since it was on springs and the kit the car was really low to the ground and we cracked the front bumper going on the trailer but nothing major. also was a nightmare getting it off the trailer but we had finally got it home. You cant really see the paint drips and dirt in the paint obviously but note the overspray on the rear tire and muffler -_-

So after being rejected by many shops to get my mufflers done because my car was too low, i had finally found a shop. Note the no paint under the lip of the rear bumper lol.

So i drove the car through high school, daily driving a rotary was pretty awesome. The roulette you play starting it in the morning wondering how easy it was going to be to start that day, i loved it:D While everyone at high school had there new cars, i was lovin my old school RX-7 :2f2f::cool: A lot of kids thought it was some sort of super fast racecar, a supra?, a conquest?, people didnt know what the hell i was driving, or that it only had like 150hp LOL. So here are some pictures of the car as i drove it through high school.

So since the car had an intake and exhaust that pretty much concluded my extent of knowledge with modding rotaries and i wanted something i could do more with. Nobody around me had 240's and i was always reading Super Street magazine's and other import mags. So my search began, i had put my car for sale. I had a bunch of tire kickers and low ballers, until about a month later i had finally found a guy that was willing to trade me an SR20 S13 for my Rx-7, i was hyped. However a week before i was supposed to meet with the guy to trade.... I was driving in the left lane of a 2 lane highway when a lady made a uturn from opposing traffic in front of me, went into the right lane and then immediately back into the left lane. I had no time to downshift, my brakes locked up, i slid about 20 feet while beeping my horn the whole time, she didnt move and i slid into the back of her honda pilot.

So i was basically screwed all summer with no car. Mid august the insurance gave me $2000 and i ended up selling the car for $2200 with salvaged title. I then moved down from Suffolk long island to Nassau and got a job at a AAA service station/mechanic/towing place. I ran around changing tires, helping people get there keys that they locked in there car, jump starts etc. I also hung around the shop a lot and learned a bunch of stuff. So i was saving money from there as i was looking for an S13. I ended up seeing a red S13 SR swapped, s15 turbo, bolt ons etc. he wanted $4,700, it ran and looked mint however underneath it had a lot of rust and the frame rails were horrible from bottoming out everywhere. I started offering low and went all the way up to $4,400. i was really stupid.. however he was even more stupid because he wanted to get full price out of me and didn't accept my offer. Next day he texted me saying hell take my offer however i was already on my way driving the 100 miles to PA to see another SR swapped S13. This S13 had no rust, Power windows and sun roof, stock suspension, 5 lug swap, 300zx TT front calipers, Front mount intercooler, Walbro pump, exhaust, Mishimoto radiator, and came with a greddy profec B spec 2 boost controller. Only bad thing really was the cheap paint job it had, the door jams and engine bay were still red... So we went on a test drive and i loved the car. It was a rocket compared to my old RX-7. So i got the car for $3,700 on sept 11 2011. I drove it all the way back home and that was the first time i got to enjoy 5 speed through manhatten traffic rush hour. So this was the car as i bought it:

So the first thing i did when i brought it home was take off the type x replica spoiler and bondo the holes i left. I loved the car, first 5 speed boosted car i ever drove. So with my extra money i had i started buying mods. I didnt know much about boosted cars or the whole "you get what you pay for" when buying parts. So the mods began, i ordered Godspeed coilovers, got a Greddy Ti-C catback from a local to replace the ebay catback it had, a front mount piping kit to replace all the chopped up home made piping, Greddy RZ bov to replace the knock off SSQV, a new shift knob to replace the extremely rice burner-ish plastic one [which ended up being a nightmare to remove because the previous owner put some king of adhesive and it wouldnt unscrew..], New ebay seats because the stock ones were worn to crap, And relocated the battery to trunk to get rid of the baby dry cell battery and had known 240 shop Tarmac SPL clean up the vacuum lines.

So i drove the car like that until about october, i was planning on putting the car away for the winter to save and prevent rust from NY snow&salt, however the car always seems to be the one that chooses when its time to stop driving it. When i bought the car the previous owner told me it had some sort of exhaust leak, it ended up being the gasket from the turbo to the manifold leaking and one day in october i did a pull down my block and upon slowing down to enter my driveway idle got really choppy like it was cammed and i struggled to pull it into my driveway, i opened the hood and saw the gasket half way blown out of the side. So as usual i took this opportunity to replace what was wrong with an upgrade. So i decided on doing a GT2871r upgrade & all winter i saved and collected parts.

So the list was: Tomei expreme exhaust manifold & Turbo elbow, NGK AFX wideband, Isis z32 maf, Tomei 740cc Injectors, ARP head studs, apexi head gasket, Nistune ecu, Nismo fuel pressure regulator, 300zx fuel filter, isis lightweight pulleys and the garrett gt2871r dual ball bearing, i also took the opportunity to put in glowshift gauges, oil pressure, water temp & boost, but i later decided to sell the head gasket and head studs, i was originally aiming for 400hp but decided i didn't wanna push the SR to its limits, just something reliable with some more power. i Since i had very little knowledge with working on cars at the time i had Tarmac SPL do the install, once spring came i had the car towed to the shop, perks of working for a towing company :D.

The car ran real nice, Felt like a whole new beast. Heres an acceleration video i took on the way back from picking up a Bee*r limiter, only on 9psi and shifting at 6k and below: 9psi acceleration SR20DET - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIUcXKCEzDo)

So after getting it back the next thing on the list was to get engine and transmission mounts because my motor was teaching me how to dougie everytime i started the car and i couldn't really shift that fast because with my shot mounts my shifter would jump and wobble around like lindsay lohan on coke withdrawals, so i got Nismo motor and tranny mounts and put them in with one of the mechanics from my job on the side of the street in front of his house:rawk:

So the car drove real nice after the new mounts, really fun to drive, quick spool, and i was lovin the gas mileage!, it got a little worse after the new setup but it was still WAY better than the 13B. only problem was i began having overheating problems which ended up being the 16" mishimoto electric fan was no longer good enough to keep temp down, i bought isis dual 12" fans and shroud and that made it worse, finally put the clutch fan back and everyhthing ran perfect. I also began meeting more & more S-chassis people.

So i couldnt stand S14 SE wheels anymore, i needed wheels so i started looking. I was never a fan of 17's like most 240's have, i always wanted 18's & I always wanted gold rims for my car. i found a local who i ended up becoming friends with was selling a set of MB battles 18x9.5 +15 off his kouki S14 [Built SR Holset powered]

So it was on to spraying!, the wheels were in mint condition. I washed them, scuffed them, and sprayed them with metallic gold engine enamel.

I mounted & balanced the wheels at work then rolled/pulled my fenders with a heatgun & hammer in May 2012, then my car finally looked a little better. daily drove it everywhere & started going to automotive school. i slowly started noticing the rubbing, tucked my harness before it rubbed through and made myself a lil more clearence. Heres a pic of how it looked rite after i put the wheels on, then after i adjusted the height a little bit.

Then one night i was meeting up w/ friends at a local drift spot and i went like 40mph over a huge bump, "caught like 6 feet of air", and upon landing my car felt a little funny, kept driving and got to the spot, looked at my car and my front driver coilover had snapped!!!!!the metal rod that goes into the shock had busted rite out and the car was resting on the spring.

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/FB567078-66AF-42C1-9F6F-D09015E777E5-173-0000002CD4567BFA_zps5c1eef69.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/FB567078-66AF-42C1-9F6F-D09015E777E5-173-0000002CD4567BFA_zps5c1eef69.jpg.html)

I ended up having to drive 12 miles home while the tire was rubbing on the spring going 10mph because any faster and the tire would start smoking... it took me an hour to get home... So after that i ended up getting some used KTS/SPL coilovers and i bought a godspeed gen 2 suspension arm package. here is a pic of the broken godspeed coil over next to the new coils and the new suspension.

I should have learned when my coilover broke not to continue buying godspeed..., some of the arms needed the pivot bushings to be trimmed because they didnt fit... but after that they were fine i suppose.

Then because my front bumper wasn't really secured rite [zip ties from bumper to fenders on both sides, and just bolted to the headlight supports] over time the drivers side headlight support bracket where the bumper bolts onto began to crack so i just took the bumper off. [ended up staying off for 3 months], i also got type X rear valances and side skirts. I sprayed the valances and put them on, left the skirts in my basement to one day be re painted to match the car.

Then one day i backed out of my driveway and into my neighbors cobble stone lined front yard and freakin bent my exhaust..

ended up getting a 3" ebay catback for like a hundred bucks and getting the Ti-C muffler welded on to it. It was pretty nice, didnt have the big resonator that the greddy had, more of a straight through design, & Then i went to a bunch more meets, had a bunch of mini photo shoots with homies & enjoyed the car pretty much everyday.

In for more. Looks like you are headed in a good direction. Nice build!

[2stepGoesPowPow]

I started thinking about what i wanted to do with the car, i didnt really wanna go any further with the SR & I was kinda missing my FC. I considered selling the car but i knew i wouldn't get anything close to what i invested in it. So i kept driving the car and continued to think over my options.

I was pretty close to having my whole type x kit so i jumped on the chance to get a type x front bumper from local hombre josh/ ka24debt as soon as he told me he was selling it. So since i didn't have a front bumper on i test fitted it real quick.


http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/89580AEC-795B-4B7F-9416-13BE4DC21D7B-173-000000261DCF3523_zps654f8aad.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/89580AEC-795B-4B7F-9416-13BE4DC21D7B-173-000000261DCF3523_zps654f8aad.jpg.html)


Now my type x kit was pretty much complete i just needed kouki tail lights.

I started hosting S-Chassis meet's at sonic about once a month. There was pretty good turnouts, mostly JDM RWD cars & no ricer's doing burnouts or any other stupid shit.

I had a Sonic meet that saturday i believe it was the next day, a little while before everyone started leaving i realized a puddle under my car i had leaked out about half a quart of oil, I thought i probably forgot the rubber gasket ring around the oil filter from the last one but i felt the filter and drain plug and there was no oil on either. A friend had some oil so i topped off before leaving and drove home taking it real easy. The next day i checked out the car and it ended up leaking from the oil pressure switch for the gauge. Very weird, i was pretty confused how the hell that happened. It was almost time to put the car away for the season so i had pretty much narrowed it down to two options. I was going to either sell my car for probably $5k and save all winter long to get an FD rx-7, which for a clean stock one would easily be $11k or do a complete overhaul on my car. I figured it was kinda stupid to save so much and then have a much slower car then spending half the money for an FD on performance for the S13 and have a beast. Plus if i got an FD id want to go straight for Street port, seals & single turbo so thats another ton of money. So i decieded to stick with the S13 and take it to its full potential and wasted little time pulling the motor with my friend Alex & parting most of the stuff out.

So i was thinking about going R25 but after some convincing from my buddy pat [JDM SPUG] i decieded 2J was the way. So i sold all the SR supporting mods relatively quick but ended up selling the motor pretty cheap because i didn't feel like waiting anymore.

I ended up getting lucky and through a friend found someone that wanted to trade me a brand new GT3582R dual ball bearing for my GT2871r, so i jumped rite on that.

Since the motor was out i decided to have the front tubbed, so i cut out most of the stock tubs.

Then i didn't have anything to roll the car around on for a lil while. So i started sanding the car down to prep it for paint, Also sold the stock fenders.

Nice build!

I understand buying fake body pieces or exhaust pieces, but using a knock off seat man....one of your cars most important safety features that could buckle like nothing in the event of an accident. Food for thought.

This is true.. but at the same time the same bride rep seat i got vs the real one i cant really imagine much difference, there both fiberglass. & BTW @ur sig if u get a gtr v spec id be super jealous, after i finish this i really wanna chase after an R33 :bowdown:

I've seen a lot of replica seats do some silly things even in minor collisions. mounting points from hardware snap, its not so much the shell of the seat itself. Idk given the fact that we all drive 25 year old nissans without air bags, one thing I dont chince out on is safety.

And thanks man, I know your exact position very well. Im a 1992 kid and bought a 1990 honda accord sedan in 2009 when I was 16. I now daily drive a clean and bone stock 2001 Civic sedan (auto), but I've been lucky enough to stumble across a few cheap Skylines over the years as projects. Went back to university this year after doing 2 years of community college so I sold off my GTR. I will be importing a v-spec this fall, I can't wait.

Its super cool to see guys our age tackling big projects like this...every 20 year old in Ontario is usually in a slammed civic or vw, very little nissan/toyota love up here.

Also replaced the passengers side knuckle because the thread that the bolt which holds the coilover to the knuckle was stripped out, also replace the rear lower control arm with brand new oem goodness.

Since i sold my ebay seats i got an S14 driver seat to take the car to paint and do whatever else without having to mess up the new seats, a new un-cracked dash since mine has a few cracks from [Leung] 's parts car. heres the stuff packed into the daily.

So then i got S14 SE wheels AGAIN [i sold the ones i used to have] & put in a ton of hours sanding the car down until this was the end result.

I also power washed my engine bay, sprayed simple green everywhere, let it sit for about 20-30 mins and washed it all off. Here's before & after

yeah im gunna put in a harness bar with the reps this time too, i might get real seats in the future but for now the reps will have to do. Thats sick though, skylines are really rare here in the U.S, R33 GTR V-spec is my dream skyline. It is cool though being our age, its kinda like competing with the older crowd, gives me more inspiration lol.

[No 240.. No id]

Yes. My compression was awesome, motor is clean inside & the turbo's had no shaft play, Like new. So far no complaints.

Well since you are close to them, you can just drive up there.
I had a done business with them before, didn't go so well. They sent me a knocking sr, with cut harness and blown turbo that is barley bolted to the manifold.
Looked them up online and they are the worst to do business with.

But good luck with the build.

Wow. Yeah all jdm places have mixed reviews and most of them don't have great customer service. When I got to jdmenginedepot I found my motor and when I asked then to comp test it they said there cables broke and they couldn't test it unless I had cables, so I went from the engine warehouse back to there office and asked the owner if he had cables I could borrow, one of the employees ended up having and I used his and everything was fine. The owner also told me I should come get the motor when I'm ready to put it in the car because I would be voiding the warranty waiting more then the 30 days but I already knew that. The situation you were in is pretty fucked up. Finding a good SR is way more difficult then getting a good 2j in my opinion. There's tons of ppl in Japan beating on SR's if you think about it. 2j's coming from an aristo sedan or soarer not so much.

[2stepGoesPowPow]

Dope build!

Thanks man, jus took a quick look at your build, sellin SR's for 2j's ftw! Lol

Yeah that's one of the main reasons I ditched the SR I didn't wanna push it and have to worry about shit breakin at any time when a 2j makes power effortlessly & I also plan on getting xcessive motor n transmission mounts

Just as an FYI my hood does not close with xcessive mounts and brackets. I'm going to take a look at It this weekend to see if I can get it to work if not ill be selling the mounts and reusing my nismo mounts which are shorter

That's weird, ill prob get nismo mounts again then, I didn't realize I'd need mine for the 2j and sold them lol.

Check the 2j thread - the xcessive mounts compared to others are the tallest. But I'm going to try and remove the fiberglass under the hood too see if that helps first before I change em

I sat on the GT35 for a while until i finally sold it to a guy from NJ that was boosting an S2000. Meanwhile my car was getting body work fixing all the minor dent's and imperfections, i also got the holes for the wiper fluid squirter's on the hood and roof closed along with the hole where the radio antenna was.

Love the build man! be glad you didnt go with an FD... I sold mine not too long ago, and the dude who bought it from me is starting to hate it.. haha. Definantly turns heads, and can be fast as fuck, but I love my coupe :) keep the build strong man! youre making me wanna lose my sr and get a 2j.. haha

idk what there really is to hate, If i would street port, new seals and single turbo with good engine management i feel like it could be fairly reliable?. A lot of people say rotaries are never reliable no matter what though and can always blow up whenever. Never really got that serious into looking into an FD so idk.


damn nice build dude, i like the black with the gold flake real nice

Thanks im really happy with it, the engine bay and car is kinda dusty too. Once its washed its gunna look brand new.

hey this is nice!

Thank you sir!

Then went on a road trip to Michigan friday to take care of some family stuff. 10+ hour drive from new york, it totally sucked. All ghost town farm land pretty much, nice mountains and other scenic shit though.

I got my exhaust manifold and test fit it with the turbo, unfortunately the intake housing of the turbo hits the runner before it can sit flush on the exhaust manifolds T4 flange so i'm probably going to get the runner re-welded when the Tial 44mm v-band flange gets welded on to replace the current wastegate flange.

So a huge delay on my R154, friend of mine got the transmission from an import place & never used it, went to ship it to me and heard a rattling. Got the transmission opened up to check it out to reveal a bunch of broken gears. So he had to drop it off to them so they can check it out, hopefully they give him a new one and i can get this shit moving...


Continued the polishing process on the intake manifold..

My friend Sunny who's a pretty talented welder moved all his stuff into my garage to finish up a bunch of fabrication. If anyone in the NY area needs anything done at all (custom intercooler setup or downpipe, custom catch can/fluid reservoirs, custom seat brackets, pretty much anything) don't hesitate to ask.

So he got started chopping off the old school style wastegate flange to replace with the Tial 44mm V-band flange.

The oil return flange was hitting the manifold so Sunny welded on a -10 weldable fitting directly on the hole for the oil return, No more clearence issue.

the turbo's compressor housing was hitting the manifold so i got a 3/8" T4 spacer and sunny welded it on, Leaning into the engine bay... With the motor in the car.. & the welds still came out pretty much perfect inside and outside the spacer.

i think i am too, i just laid the harness out as of rite now havent really routed it. ill keep you posted.

[2stepGoesPowPow]

So as of rite now I'm waiting on a couple things: My aluminum 1 piece drive shaft from zerolift should be here tomorrow, i ordered 4 bolts and nuts from Fastenal last thursday, they said it would come in the next day (friday), then friday they said it would come monday and now today they said UPS lost it and they had to reorder it, should come Wednesday :mad: Also waiting on my blow off valve, intercooler piping and down pipe/exhaust piping. Tomorrow i should be able to complete my fuel setup & the car should be running and driving by the end of the month.. fingers crossed. But anyway Sunny found metal shavings in his oil, when my car is finished we're going to pull his motor and check it out before he spins a bearing. Since its in our nature when something needs to be fixed to fix it even better then it was originally, Sunny decided why not go SR20VET and slap a VVL head on there while he's at it? For those of you unfamiliar with this, its pretty much how to make an SR20det a reliable beast at 4-600+hp. So we went to JDM Engine World in Jamaica NY to pick up an SR20VE.

Been lazy lately, lost motivation & sunny's been busy. All thats left is the exhaust and then i just gotta figure out how to get power to the harness to start this bitch.

[ehhhregartless]

V-band + intercooler = great idea, props

I have a Type RS and its loud as fuck!!
I like how you had the car repainted and its looking very straight and solid :)
Kudos on the build! looking forward to even more updates

It seems pretty underrated and badass 2jz+external wastegate+Greddy type r= its gunna sound amazing!!! :snoop: JDM engine world is okay but i think JDM engine depot in NJ is better they have more stuff.

Thanks on sunnys behalf, but Me too ill upload more photos of his welds but he really knows what he's doing & thanks on the paintjob compliment even though rite now the car sits with like an inch of dust on it. cant wait to be done and give it a wash, put the kit on and see the finished product :) Im really shooting to finish the car so i can take it to H2oi In Maryland the 26th-29th.. hopefully that works out, sunnys going to come by again next week to resume progress.

Finished the fuel lines, started routing the harness, gapped the new plugs, put the valve covers on, heatwrapped part of my harness by the radiator & the looped heater hose, Sunny also did most of the down pipe.

Tried to crank the car but nothing, Sunny jumped the starter and the car cranked slowly so i knew my starter was good. Added some grounds and tried to key start the car and nothing, checked fuses, nothing. Then i saw the clutch switch on the floor wasnt being pressed i think the clutch pedal bent away from it. So i pushed it with my hand and key started it and it cranked!!!, i was hyped.

Then i connected the fuel pump, added almost 2 gallons of e85, and tried cranking it again & it ran for about a second.

I need to figure out exactly where to connect my vacuum lines, adjust fuel pressure, & get a basemap and try again, also power steering needs to be finished, wideband bung welded on, exhaust crossover to cat-back, catch can set-up & a few other things..

[2stepGoesPowPow]

i bolted the throttle cable next to the valve cover and was able to use the gas pedal in the car, got the cars first successful startup :)

Well, havent done much with the car in like 2 weeks. I was in ocean city maryland last weekend for H20i. It was pretty awesome, tons of stanced cars and met a bunch of friendly people. My tuner emailed me a start up tune, i updated my haltech and uploaded the tune but for some reason the car just cranks and wont start. but with the stock ecu it starts and idles.. Last night i helped my friend Eddie drop his rear subframe, take out the diff & burn out and remove the subframe bushings on his S13 SR drift car. Heres some pictures of that:

Hooked up my 12" mishimoto & 12" flexalite fan to two switches in my center console real quick just for now until i get the fans wires to my haltech. & I tucked away my battery relocation cable.

Apparently in Maryland you can get tickets or even your car impounded depending on how much negative camber.... for example this guy who got himself famous after over like a thousand people at the "taphouse" where meets where held the whole weekend watched him get his car impounded, one minute its one cop car...

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/38C8EE27-7109-4813-B8E9-96DE33A74BD1-3459-000001D4F10CEEA3_zps5dfa11d9.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/38C8EE27-7109-4813-B8E9-96DE33A74BD1-3459-000001D4F10CEEA3_zps5dfa11d9.jpg.html)

5 minutes later they bring out half the pig pen.. then they called in a traditional tow truck with the arm on the back. After figuring out there was no way in hell the car was going on that they called in a flat bed... Then a flatbed couldn't do anything either so supposedly the owner had to pay a $250 tow fee for the tow truck driver to drive his car to the impound lot.

yeah, if you don't have to trim the rad support id be amazed. I beat the crap out of it for a couple hours before coming to the realization it wasn't gonna work. I forgot what serp belt im running but just google a/c delete belt that's how i found it. Yes PS no a/c.

[2stepGoesPowPow]

Couldn't figure what the hell was wrong with the haltech, was about to take my car to a local shop but my friend recommended i call a tuner he knew, so i did yesterday. Today he came by and checked everything out. A couple of gallons of e85 later, a new battery & some adjustments on the fuel map and my car runs pretty good. I just need to break in this clutch and i'm going to get a more legit tune. If anyone in new york needs any help contact Waynespeed.com he knows his shit. So i threw a plate on the back and took it for a spin around my neighborhood & to the local 711. no front end, open downpipe, no fucks given just happy as hell to drive my car. Been over a year and i finally feel normal again, pissing neighbors off setting off car alarms like a boss. Cars still dirty as hell, gotta finish the exhaust, catch can, put all the body panels on etcetc but im just happy to be able to drive it. Sorry for the crappy photos, was too excited to take any videos either, better photos & video(s) to come.

Did you have any kind of fuel controller?

Also when you trimmed the radiator support did you just do the top? basically leaning the radiator?

Thanks a lot man i appreciate that, car still has a ways to go. Over winter i wanna install an oil cooler setup & hook up oil pressure & oil temp gauges along with hooking up Dakota boxes so my stock spedo and tach work, Onto an update!.

Last weekend i decided to make putting my new wheels on a priority, my wholesale tire connect wanted $400 for new tires, i didn't have that kinda money to spend on tires rite now so i found 2 tires from some lady on craigslist with tons of meat on em for $140 and other 2 from a friend barely used basically new for $150 so i saved myself $110 & mounted & balanced them myself. Don't ask what rims because if i told you id have to kill you & i don't want anyone to get hurt... All im saying is there 18x9.5 & 18x10, 225/40/18 in front 235/40/18 in back.

So then the following monday i put my bride seats in, tuesday i got insurance and Wednesday i registered the car, got home late from work, threw my wheels on, had to run straight to the nearest E85 station (only 1.5 miles from my house) and then straight to school. No fenders or bumper still, Fucks to be given at a later date.

(dirty ass interior, i still haven't even washed the car or cleaned up the inside lol)

So i daily'd the car a lil bit, here it is at my gym parking garage, also my first speed bump encounter, needless to say i'm going to avoid parking in the garage, or find a speed bump-less way in lol.

Heres a little video clip cruising home from the gym, i cant boost at all as soon as i get out of vacuum and go to build boost i start dumping fuel since i'm only on a base map, 26th of the month i'm scheduled for my dyno tune & then the fun begins, i'm still breaking in my clutch though i've only put about 30 miles on it so far & i've never had a car with a lightweight flywheel so getting used to that was fun.

Yesterday i put my fenders in my hatch and decided to go to the body shop to get my fenders put on by the guy who painted my car. I took this picture outside my garage.

& then this picture after my driver side axle disconnected on the highway on the way to the body shop...
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/DSC00003_zps7d5e3174.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/DSC00003_zps7d5e3174.jpg.html)

I felt a wobbling so i pulled over on the highway and somehow all 6 bolts that hold the axle to the differential disappeared, the cap on the axel came off and all the grease came out. So i had the towing company i used to work for come get me after waiting for the truck like 45 mins, i was only like 8 miles from my destination too. I saw a small puddle under the car when it was going on the truck i was hoping it wasnt e85 and the axle may have hit my gas tank, it didnt smell like e85 though so i figured maybe it was oil from the grease or something. Got the car back to my garage and realized the axel had spun and broke a brake line... so now the car sits in my garage on jack stands. Im going to take the axle out probably tuesday night. Im now looking to buy a driver side 300zx TT axle, or i thought about just taking the axle out, packing it with grease and welding a cap back on. When i put the axle back on i guess ill use locktite this time, or put some JB weld on the threads lol.

im jealous..love the type x aero..doing good work

Thanks man.

Update: So last week i fixed the axle, replaced the brake line and that weekend i went to a huge meet in Flushing no front end open down-pipe.

The meet was so big a little while after a police helicopter showed up along with some squad cars to disperse everyone lol.


The next day sunday i went and got my exhaust finished since Sunny was too busy with work i didn't have time to wait any longer. i didn't get to the body shop to put the fenders on yet, my hood didn't close because it hit the v=band on the intake manifold and i still wasn't giving any fucks so with no front end and open down-pipe, trying my best to avoid cops I went to Monkey Wrench on Liberty ave with my piping. Tesh runs the shop and he connected the down-pipe to the cat-back so my whole exhaust is 3 pieces, all 3". Tesh is also the founder of the facebook and instagram blog Lowered Congress that post's mostly Tri-state cars so he took some pictures too.

I started my car up in his shop, Exhaust sounds great.

i was having a small coolant leak when the engine was at operating temp which was about 175 degrees, when the car was warming up in the shop without the fans on it went to about 190 and the leak got worse so i lost a bunch of coolant. I parked the car across the street for it to cool off and Tesh shot this pic.

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/56EEB83D-69E5-4065-8531-9645A180AC21-1492-000000C91D983B59_zps749bcf29.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/56EEB83D-69E5-4065-8531-9645A180AC21-1492-000000C91D983B59_zps749bcf29.jpg.html)

When i got home i realized the leak was from the water pipe that comes off the head, i tightened the clamp around the looped hose and everything seems fine. I started the car and let the temp go up to 200 degrees and no leak. Usually i drive around with just one fan on and it keeps the temp under 180 (flex-a-lite shroud with 1 flex-a-lite 12" fan & one 12" Mishimoto fan)

Sunday i got my fenders put on, and monday i cut a small section of the hood support/skeleton that was hitting the v-band and now my hood closes fine. When i get good photos of it ill post em but the fiberglass fenders are pretty close to the wheel so i'm expecting them to be destroyed the first time i get the car sideways and im going to pick up some oem fenders tomorrow. This weekend i need to get a dump pipe made, Bead put on the 2 intercooler pipes for the 1 section i have a coupler and the blow off valve flange welded on and then ill be ready to hit the dyno next week, Hopefully all goes well lol.

I chose to just run off the 15lb springs i had in my wastegate instead of using my MBC or change the springs just to see what i could make off that. I didn't want to push it because i have no oil gauges or any oil cooler id rather be safe then sorry. So on 15 psi i made 425hp. Im satisfied with it for now until i finish making the car look nice. Then ill invest in cams & shoot for more. Here's a bunch of pictures of the car.

First time i ever had my car on snow, usually its off the road by september/november.

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/737C4CA9-2301-44AE-9C61-526C258F1F05_zps6ahovybw.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/737C4CA9-2301-44AE-9C61-526C258F1F05_zps6ahovybw.jpg.html)

I Tried putting my Type-x bumper on the car but it just didnt line up with fiberglass fenders, thats why i picked up a set of oem fenders but i had a change of heart. Type-x in my opinion is becoming more and more common and i dont want to spend money to have to repaint these fenders to make it work... SO... i sold the type x bumper & the oem fenders..... and my pop ups.... and soon my hood and fiberglass fenders. I decided to do a silvia conversion and make my car a sil80!

[xHeavySS]

sil80 = love
cars looking good and those numbers arent anything to be sad about. especially knowing you can go bigger with a few little things

The meet was so big a little while after a police helicopter showed up along with some squad cars to disperse everyone lol.


The next day sunday i went and got my exhaust finished since Sunny was too busy with work i didn't have time to wait any longer. i didn't get to the body shop to put the fenders on yet, my hood didn't close because it hit the v=band on the intake manifold and i still wasn't giving any fucks so with no front end and open down-pipe, trying my best to avoid cops I went to Monkey Wrench on Liberty ave with my piping. Tesh runs the shop and he connected the down-pipe to the cat-back so my whole exhaust is 3 pieces, all 3". Tesh is also the founder of the facebook and instagram blog Lowered Congress that post's mostly Tri-state cars so he took some pictures too.

I started my car up in his shop, Exhaust sounds great.

i was having a small coolant leak when the engine was at operating temp which was about 175 degrees, when the car was warming up in the shop without the fans on it went to about 190 and the leak got worse so i lost a bunch of coolant. I parked the car across the street for it to cool off and Tesh shot this pic.

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/56EEB83D-69E5-4065-8531-9645A180AC21-1492-000000C91D983B59_zps749bcf29.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/56EEB83D-69E5-4065-8531-9645A180AC21-1492-000000C91D983B59_zps749bcf29.jpg.html)

When i got home i realized the leak was from the water pipe that comes off the head, i tightened the clamp around the looped hose and everything seems fine. I started the car and let the temp go up to 200 degrees and no leak. Usually i drive around with just one fan on and it keeps the temp under 180 (flex-a-lite shroud with 1 flex-a-lite 12" fan & one 12" Mishimoto fan)

Sunday i got my fenders put on, and monday i cut a small section of the hood support/skeleton that was hitting the v-band and now my hood closes fine. When i get good photos of it ill post em but the fiberglass fenders are pretty close to the wheel so i'm expecting them to be destroyed the first time i get the car sideways and im going to pick up some oem fenders tomorrow. This weekend i need to get a dump pipe made, Bead put on the 2 intercooler pipes for the 1 section i have a coupler and the blow off valve flange welded on and then ill be ready to hit the dyno next week, Hopefully all goes well lol.
when i started this build i thought hmph maybe its that guy from ny with that dope 2j s13 that i saw in that picture on instagram one time...YESSS.

hahah yeah Josh's car continues to get nicer. Thanks man im trying!

Took advantage of a rare decent weather mid winter 50 degree NY day yesterday & took the car out for a joyride to burn the remaining e85 in the tank. Which included screaming wastegate past a cocky e92 M3 owner on the long island expressway lol:naughty: Im rite on E now, Im going to let the car burn off the last bit then its ready for winter hibernation.

[2stepGoesPowPow]

Well, I officially no longer own a Front end... Sold the whole thing originally to fund my Silvia front conversion however during H20i in Maryland i got myself in a bit of trouble and had to put the money towards the $950 i have to pay in lawyer fee's & fine. Moral of the story is don't do stupid shit because it delays the progress of your race car! So after i pay that off i have to pay Sunny for all his fabrication. So rite now i'm just daydreaming of making more progress, once i pay off all that i'm going to start buying Silvia front parts. Hopefully i can get my car to pass tech so i can drive a drift event this year. Im kinda set on wanting to drift my car for at least 1-2 events this year then add an oil cooler, probably cams, Retune, make 650hp, alignment, get the car to hook really well, handle better, run a good 1/4 mile time & smoke ignorant exotic car drivers & build another car specifically drifting. Im thinking of a 1jz powered s13/cressida or rx7. whichever shell i could find the cheapest. I already put the whole 1jz build together in my mind hahah.

& So that this isnt just some kinda gay diary entry here's a picture of the car lol

Also i forgot to mention before me and Eddie hit the city the night before i removed my oil pan to bang out some dents, a few days earlier i hit a pot hole and got paranoid. turned out the dents werent that serious but better safe then sorry.

Can your haltech control a speedo/tach? might be cheaper than getting the boxes.

I used me aem to control the factory tacho in my 1j swapped sc.

Hope fully i can start on my 240 project soon. Your build gives me something to look foreword to!

Not only do i need a front end but a couple months ago when i drove the car in the snow for the first time sliding around my neighborhood i enjoyed a fine understeering experience into a very unaffectionate curb..

So yeah the rims pretty fucked since that back chunk broke off i don't think it can be repaired & nobody has another 18x9.5 gold with polished lip so my only option really is to spend $370 for a black with polished lip rim and paint the center… or i might just sell the 3 and buy new wheels. Not sure at this point but i replaced the front lower control arm that got bent like a paper clip and the tension rod that snapped with isis tension rods.

Today was even better weather, got up to like 65, and apparently its going to snow tonight and be back to 25 in a couple days… stupid new york weather. From driving my car on wet ground the underneath wheel wells of my tubs began to form some surface rust. So today i power washed the wheel wells, sanded off any remaining rust and sprayed them with under coating Didn't get a picture of the finished product but ill add one later. I Also installed my new silvia headlight brackets.

A tiring 3 hour drive each way. Almost made it home when my radiator sprung a leak. later found out it was due to my fan slightly rubbing into the radiator over time. I went ahead and replaced my Mishimoto radiator with a Koyo radiator. Comparing quality the welds are definitely nicer on the Koyo and the quality does seem slightly better.

Just got back from H2OI in Ocean City, Maryland a few days ago. Very fun weekend spent with my girlfriend and friends, pictures from that coming soon. Season is now pretty much over, its about time for me to tear down the car. There's many changes in store this winter for the 2015 season which include cams, new turbo, going twin scroll, more boost, as well as interior upgrades, exterior upgrades & My wheels, after 18 weeks have finally arrived. unfortunatly the day after i left for H2OI but its okay. It gives me time this winter to polish the faces. Here's a little peak at the new wheels…

what the alignment and effective wheels/tires specs in that pics.

Thanks man, i gotta find the alignment sheet i don't remember off the top of my head but its not that effective when it comes to WOT. 225/40 front and 245/40 rear with the camber 1/4 of my wheel isn't even touching and i can't take out anymore neg camber without rubbing, however cornering is pretty damn good. Came off a sharp exit ramp at like 75mph while braking could have sworn the car was about to slide off the road into a ditch but it held on. But i sold those wheels, don't need 2 sets of aggressive wheels. functional wheels with close to 0 camber and more grip coming soon :hyper:

So haven't posted here in a while. Since i took the car off the road haven't done too much. Started taking the car apart, sold my turbo, injectors, and began buying some of the parts on the 2015 list, LOTS of changes to come for 2015 season. Here is how my motor looks at the moment.

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/2014-05/10FF5959-3E69-4E72-BB62-E3E44B7047BE_zpsfkzuah7x.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/2014-05/10FF5959-3E69-4E72-BB62-E3E44B7047BE_zpsfkzuah7x.jpg.html)

Now that my old turbo is sold i decided to switch things up a bit, My car used to be a Lag monster so with the new upgrades I've really made it a point to eliminate lag completely. So far the parts i got checked off my list:

Precision 6266 Generation 2 Ball bearing divided housing.

Now with christmas buying parts has pretty much come to a stop. After christmas its back to knocking off my part list. Ive been taking apart my Blitz 03 to do something different with the faces, also going to be sending out my valve covers & cam gears.
I experienced horrible service with CZ Wheels for my Blitz 03's by the way so if you ever think about buying wheels from them definitely check out my review here (http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=586480) first.

wow, love your 240 man

[2stepGoesPowPow]

Figured its time for an update since my last one was 4 months ago..

So the car sat in my garage like this for a while as i gathered some parts together.

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/35369601-8A2A-4687-9B1E-5FA0A64D8031_zpsddwckxma.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/35369601-8A2A-4687-9B1E-5FA0A64D8031_zpsddwckxma.jpg.html)

Since my last post i got this 2005 Silverado 1500 LT, love it. Also got a car trailer and I've been putting both to good use.

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/F7A28B3A-E36C-4359-83A9-1A2B63D556C9_zps0qoibyfv.jpg (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/F7A28B3A-E36C-4359-83A9-1A2B63D556C9_zps0qoibyfv.jpg.html)

Seen here towing home my 2002 WRX i just recently got, was going to sti swap it but decided I'm not ready for this kinda project. so now I'm selling it for $3250. [no motor, has V6 sti trans, full interior, new head unit, upgraded alarm, 108k miles, 1 owner, Greddy exhaust, Upgraded brakes.

So since my friend Sunny who did my intercooler piping and down pipe and all my existing fabrication in my garage moved to Texas to become a homeland security agent, i took my car to my friend Johnny who owns Silokin Auto in Bayshore NY. He fabricated my new turbo to work with my existing v-band intercooler setup like the old one was, New down pipe, new waste gate dump tube, V-band on the new turbo manifold for my Tial 44mm waste gate, and since my tubs began to crack he rewelded them and made up some cool gusset plates & lastly a catch can.

At the moment the car is back with my good friend Raul who does all the paint and bodywork on my car. He's touching up the engine bay, Shaving the holes for the heater core, A/C evap & Wiper motor since i deleted that stuff.

So while I'm now waiting for the car to be painted so i can take it back to my garage and put it all back together, The turbo housing and intercooler pipes are being Polished & Im waiting for my cam gears, valve covers & Blitz faces to arrive from Unknown Coatings in Utah. Meanwhile I've also mounted tires on my new RPF1's. Cant wait to test out my new 275/40 Nitto NT05's.

Still waiting for my hood to come.
After much begging my friend Franklin who owns this fine S13 Silvia agree'd to sell me this mint set of Carbon Ganador's I've desperately been trying to get my hands on.

So now I'm waiting to bring my car back home to get it all back together and back on the road. I wasn't able to attend my VIP spot at Fresh Meet Spring bash this passed weekend, however I'm trying hard to make my VIP spot at the Import Expo X Clean Culture event May 10th. As soon as i get the car home i plan on staying in my garage until it's done lol. Have to install this small mountain of parts:

[2stepGoesPowPow]

I brought the car back from from paint to start reassembly, Got straight to installing the new Tomei Poncams along with new gauges, injectors & other stuff.

Got some of my stuff polished by Nick's blasting & polishing in Staten Island:

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h321/RPS13-NY/d90fa3f5-999f-42af-b0ec-4e69fede58da_zpstegd7uqc.png (http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/RPS13-NY/media/d90fa3f5-999f-42af-b0ec-4e69fede58da_zpstegd7uqc.png.html)

So i worked my ass off to get the car put together enough to make my dyno tune appointment with Alpha from Induction Performance at M&S Performance. I barely made it lol. I had to spend an all nighter in the garage. The day before the tune i ran around all morning gathering the last minute parts and from 7pm-7am i was in the garage. So as the sun started coming up i finished and opened my garage door and drove the car out for the first time since last September. I was exhausted but i had to then load the car on the trailer and be at M&S at 9am. Once i got there an hour into tuning my alternator wasn't working, i swapped in a used one that was laying around the shop but it was just a blown fuse and the alternator that i swapped in was actually bad… so i had to put mine back in.. Here is a picture of my car during all this behind an R34 GTR with an R35 GTR on the lift above it, and a supra on the lift across lol:

Then after seeing this fully built twin turbo 350z make 1100hp my car was up on the rollers and Alpha got back to work on it.

Alpha did a good job as usual, My car made 565hp on Pump gas 93 & 600hp on e85 @ 20psi, I finally installed the flex fuel sensor and now i finally can use both pump gas and e85 i don't have to worry about getting stranded when theres no e85 pumps around since last year i ran strictly e85 which sucked on long trips where e85 isn't common.

I also got a few more goodies:

I got to work immediately putting them back together, it took 3 hours of thread sealing and torquing down each of the 100 bolts.

They've always been my dream wheels but i wanted them to be different from any other set. Im happy how they came out and to be able to say I'm the first person with 24kt Blitz 03. Im going to add more pictures soon, the car is 80% finished I just need to replace seized calipers, leaky power steering pump, waiting on my Lexan glass for my Carbon hatch, Fix a crack in my front bumper and a few other small things. Here are some pictures from the past few days:

My RPF1's with 275 Nitto drag radials get awesome traction.

Looks great! I like a super clean project like this. The NT05's are good tires, but don't expect traction until 3rd gear. I'm making 485/370 and 1st/2nd gears are useless with 285 NT05's. I'm upgrading to 275 drag radials and hoping they tame 2nd a bit.

I don't have an issue with the NT05's at all, and thats with 4 degrees negative camber and like 1/4 of the tire touching the ground lol. Next year when i put the RPF1's and get a new alignment to take out all that negative camber I'm sure it'll be even better.

Thanks! I really miss those wheels. It's tempting to get a set in custom specs but if i ever buy another set of wheels for this car i think it would be either white Te37's or Regamasters :D But I'm trying to just finish this car this summer and start working hard and saving for my next chassis..

Since my last update a month ago I've just been trying to enjoy the summer, hung out at my friend shop in Suffolk Long Island "Lito's Customs" He's the one who painted my car inside & out.

And most recently, My car has been down for the past 2 days. I was having an oil leak, oil all over my engine and having to add oil every 4-5 drives. Turns out i should have replaced my Cam seals when i installed my new cams lol. The new seals should be here and car back together tomorrow!
Also installed some Super Spark coil packs.

Yes those Blitz came out perfect. Im glad he stuck with them even after all the hassle from his initial purchase.

2stepGoesPowPow:

if you had to estimate how much $$$ do you have tied up into your 2jz swap?

has it ever made you wonder if you should have gone with an LS instead? I'm trying to get different points of view from guys who own LS's and those who own 2j's, so It can help me with making my decision for my swap.

[spooled240]

I was a little bummed when you ditched the kouki aero, but I also have a soft spot for properly done sil80's and that's looks great.

Keep it up!

very nice build! ( just read the whole thread )

I wanted a 3 piece hatch lip spoiler but they don't make them in carbon, it wouldn't match my seibon hatch.

Yeah, i didn't let all the hassle discourage me from getting exactly what i wanted.

With my first turbo setup last year i was in the motor about 10k. [rough estimate, possibly a little more] After changing setups this year I'm in it about an additional 3200.

I love JDM motors/cars/culture. I don't care much for LS motors especially N/A, they're boring and all the same In my opinion. LS swaps are more common than 2jz swaps in S chassis, and as everyone knows the stock block power capability. Although i would like to someday build a FC rx7 with a pro charged LS. Thats the only LS project that really appeals to me. I also got lucky my 2jz cost me $2000 when i bought it. Now most JDM motor sellers have raised their prices to 2800 for the non-vvti's.

Lol, the Type X front bumper fit like crap with the fiberglass fenders i had. With more and more people going with type x aero i had no inspiration to buy oem fenders and have them painted to fit good. OEM Silvia aero bumper's are also more rare than type-x bumpers so i decided to go that direction since luckily someone local had one.

very nice build! ( just read the whole thread )

Thank you!

Thank you for your honest feedback. It seems to do either swap correctly with nice to high quality parts you need about 8-10k depending on deals used part and new purchases. Prices have gone up which sucks.

Orverall upgrading the 2jz over the LS may be more expensive in the long run. I love your build just not sure which way to go yet. Guess the sr will stay a little longer lol.

And lastly, installed a boost solenoid for my haltech to better manage boost & attempt to get some faster spooling. Then had Alpha re-tune my car at Empire performance (M&S). Had some issues with fuel pressure at first but Jay at empire performance rewired the fuel pump and we were back at it. The end result: 717whp @ 27psi.

[CamryOnBronze]

Man, I just read the whole thread from start to finish. I have a huge appreciation for this build and all of the progress you have made over the last few years. Very inspiring!

I am not usually one to like Sil80s and step lipped Blitz 03s, but this thing is just beautiful. Awesome job man! Love the contrast of the black paint and gold faces.

Yeah Alex should do at least one more before the end of the season.
Thanks! I'm trying to put off the trans swap until winter time. I wanna upgrade a couple things, Change front and real main seals & reseal the oil pan.

Thanks! that means a lot coming from you. Your car on the 03's was one of the main things that persuaded me to get them. Just wanted to do my own thing with them.

Agreed 100%.

Great job dude.

Thanks!

[zombiewolf513]

blowin loads over here. Nice work dude. Those Blitz 03s were SICK on there. Such a great build.

[2stepGoesPowPow]

well, sunday the clutch went. Monday i pulled the motor and ive decided after just about 5 years im ready to part ways with my s13 instead of dump $2500+ to get the cd009 in there. Im ready to upgrade to something a little nicer. Not 100% set on whats next, i have a few options in mind and theyre all rhd and will be from japan. Im going to see if i can sell the rolling shell as mostly whole which i doubt will happen so ill wait 1-2 weeks if it doesnt sell ill be parting out. R154 is for sale & the 2jz will sit on my engine stand until it goes in something else. Thanks to everyone for following and supporting the build :wavey: <3

I picked up a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs 5 speed from another marshalls auction, got it with a snapped timing belt and junk engine. Pulled the motor, Got a replacement motor with 97k miles for $350, installed a new clutch and lightweight flywheel & its going to be my daily for a while
