Amazing attention to detail. That kind of work is great to see. I like how you added those metal plates on the sides of the strut towers.

[cliche240]

[Ratpack_Chad]

Rad Build, attention to detail is awesome.

[Standard]

Looking good man, keep it up!!!

Just a heads up, I fabbed up similar pieces for the strut towers and ended up having to modify them so the fenders would sit strait. Also I'm pretty sure those megan rods are toe arms not tracrion rods.

Anyway, looking forward to more updates!!

[Kalem_s13]

[rawgarage]

Attention to detail is cool

[Ronald_Mcdonald]

Everything is looking great so far, but I have a question. Why does it seem like the black paint doesn't go far enough into any of the places where other panels bolt to? For example, in this picture:


http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161017/c4b22747c9b7ecedcfc006aa0a74203a.jpg


You can see the white all around the light. It's driving my OCD crazy. Other than that, this looks like a very awesome build, and I can't wait to see all of these cool parts come together.

I have always loved period correct "JDM" style builds, and I am excited to see where this one goes.

looking good man keep it up.

[feito]

I cringe everytime I see people ruining perfectly good quarter panels.
Is there a company making oem metal quarter panels for our cars already? It'll be needed very soon.

[TheRealSy90]

Why exactly do you need "326 power" springs specifically? You can order swift springs in any length you want, and it's a much better spring.

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[Standard]

Highest point is 1.5" off the ground. Once I get some 326 power springs I'll be able to drop it down 1.5"

Yeah, that makes sense :hs:

I know you're after a certain style, and don't get me wrong I enjoy a low car as much as the next guy, but it's also nice to drive your car!!! Sounds like your car will be a beached whale or potentially underground? Haha

Also, who did you cut so much metal out of the quarter panels?? :tweak:

[rawgarage]

Closing up those quarters should be interesting

[Kalem_s13]

[5280VertDET]

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170306/533470f52c3dfd80877ac4da5f0a53ff.jpg

As for sealing it up? im not, the over fenders are just going straight over....

Wait, what? For real? :tweak:

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[DJTTon]

How are you planning on sealing the edges? Id be worried about water getting in. I think that was the intention of the question.

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[TheRealSy90]

The inside of your car is going to get so damn dirty. At the very least I'd seal up the openings that go to the interior, keeps smoke dirt and shit out of the inside. I think that's what he was really talking about.

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[Standard]

Damn, not sealing those gaping holes is a terrrible idea :(

[hanzbrady]

One tire blowout and you're gonna realize why those get sealed up reeeeal quick.

[ehhhregartless]

When the tread picks up rocks from a gravel patch/road. Such sacrifice. Sucks that the fresh white interior won't be white again. I applaud your efforts.

[BRAWL SPEEDSTAR]

loving this build so far, the attention to detail and "period correct" style is great! but like everyone else I couldn't help but be saddened when you cut your quarters lol
but considering how the rest of the car is looking, i bet the car will look incredible

can't wait for more updates !

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[BRAWL SPEEDSTAR]

when I say "period-correct style", I'm referencing the style of your build; the wheels, the inspiration, the parts, and the plan all fit the period the car was produced and known for. Like old-school 90's to early 2000's drift scene.

This car so far feels like something I'd see out of an early Drift Tengoku video or something, just with much more detail haha

[AscendaShogun]

Id definitely recommend sealing off the trunk and all those smaller holes from the outside. Its a bit more effective and safer than sectioning off your car.

[Supraman127]

Fucked this shit up real fast. Bravo.

[Jez]

Opinions LOL.......

[Pblesh85]

I like the overall look and dig the wheels. I really think the QP should be closed up though. The road noise and dirt and grime will get EVERYWHERE.

Just my 2cents

[Kalem_s13]

[di-devol]

I think we understand the look you're after. To most of us, you did a great job on the interior of the car, it's a shame to not take a little bit of time to seal it up to preserve the work you already did.

If you want that look so bad that you think it's awesome to have no fucking frame rails and hack that shit back together, by all means, we'll watch you do it.

[scottie]

If a rusting chassis, shitty cold welds, ill fitting frame rails, muffler inside the cab and rivet front fenders inspires you...........well.............

[hanzbrady]

Okay, but I pointed out a legitimate safety concern. If you shred a tire and have it flopping around at 60 mph wheel speed against sharp edges they're going to become projectiles. Fast moving, hot, wire reinforced projectiles that have the possibility of coming into the cabin. I don't care what's cool in Japan, or anywhere really we're telling you to seal them for legitimate reasons. You wont lose any kind of functionality or scene points for doing something properly. Also if I saw that kind of shit while going over your car in tech I'd send you home to read your magazines and play Forza.

/rant.

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[hanzbrady]

I agree, I AM sealing off the front part like I previously stated... The big whole above the seat belt mounting point that comes into the front cabin...

Just seal everything off like an FD car or any other drift car that has proper overs. The wheel well should be extended to the edge of the over fender. You can still slam the car and have all of the look you want with a safe fully functional over fender.

If you're taking the time to seal some stuff spend the extra time and do it right.

[240sx_sr20det]

People need to learn to shut their mouths. Who's car is it? Is it really affecting your life so much with what he does to it?

OP: not everyone can see your vision, and neither can I, but it's just like getting a haircut and waiting for it to grow back to the "good looking length"; there's always an ugly stage. I hope that analogy makes sense.

Looking forward to the seeing this progress.

[Kalem_s13]

[Dek-Thai]

Build was going good for couple of pages. Tearing things down, doing things right, being a perfectionist. Then its just whatever, not giving a fuck.

why would people do all that work just to scrape and hack the body at the end is beyond me. smh

Not a single person has bashed the style he is going after one bit. Seems like you're just completely ignoring what is going on here.

Why the fuck wouldn't someone seal the quarters. Why would someone who put tons of time and effort into the interior of their car directly expose it to chunks of rubber and smoke? And like dude stated above, what if a tire explodes and pieces of burning hot rubber with metal cords protruding out of them fly into the cabin? How can you say things like this and be completely oblivious to legitimate safety hazards?

This dude was doing really fucking well with this thing and doing everything right, until this. Putting so much time and money into perfecting an old chassis to ruin it like this. GG

[skouki]

looking forward towards where this build is going! Who cares? Clean rhd s13 chassis' in Canada are dirt cheap.

[silverarrow27]

This car so far feels like something I'd see out of an early Drift Tengoku video or something, just with much more detail haha

I wasn't aware of anyone stretching their tires, having low offset wheels, and having so much camber in the 90s to early 2000s.

And to the OP, wrong person to gain your "inspiration" from to build your car. Even the Japanese owner "built/hacked" his car all haggard. I also noticed some under body rust as well, I'm sure the Japanese owner did what he did to his car because rust is cancer. Unless you cut it out completely and replace it with new sheet metal, its just a matter of time before the car falls apart.

Like someone said, everything was sweet up until you started hacking up the car. It went from a 5 star build to a 3 star build. Appreciate the share and enthusiasm of building your car though.

looking forward towards where this build is going! Who cares? Clean rhd s13 chassis' in Canada are dirt cheap.

And you must have a lot of money and time on your hands to be building and buying "dirt cheap" cars.

My girlfriend, and I, have a drift beater, with overs and unsealed, and I can assure you that burning hot rubber doesn't make its way into the cabin when she blows a tire. Stop justifying giving this kid shit for no reason, dude.

All I'm saying is it is his build, so leave him alone. If he wants to leave it unsealed, so be it. It looks like he cleared the interior, so it won't be hard to clean if he keeps up on it. Who knows what his plans are later on.

This dude was doing really fucking well with this thing and doing everything right, until this. Putting so much time and money into perfecting an old chassis to ruin it like this. GG

And see right there, at the end, your OPINION emerges. Maybe, in his eyes, he's still perfecting this old chassis. That's all that matters since it's his damn car.

[Reece]

Fucking christ. I dunno who's dumber, OP or the people sticking up for OP.

Also like stated before there is absolutely nothing retro about crazy tire stretch and camber and hacked apart cars.

[Jez]

Some of you guys are so bent out of shape over a car that's progress is not to your approval, why not start sending OP a cut of your paycheck to invest into his car? Then your opinion might be worth something.....

[feito]

Everybody's opinion is worth something when a thread is started on a public forum. He loves to thank every retard that support his crazy idea, but tells everyone who opposes it to fuck off. Typical 18yo attitude...
I, like everybody else, had high hopes for this build considering how it started, then it went full retard.... another wasted s-chassis and a no-fucks-given owner..... great.

[jdmjimmy]

I haven't been on here for ages first thread I open was this awesomely clean ps13 . Then the 1/4s get hacked off .WTF is wrong with you dude .? Buy a rusted out chassis to make shit of. You could have achieved the exact same look as your Jap Idol by flaring your rear arches.. The Jap guy most likely cut them away because they were rusted to shit !

Who the fuck cares?

[Fuglychuki91]

At the end of the day, op will do as he pleases with his car and being that he's documenting it on zilvia, people will state there opinions which they have the right to do.

That being said, op get your flame suite on because the negativity will continue to flow because you aren't building your car based off of what every body else thinks is "right".

I like what your doing man and think it's rad as fuck. Always dug the style as well. What you're doing is Sacreligious in the eyes of a lot of enthusiast's and that's alright man. They know it and you know it too at the end of the day.
Good luck

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[AscendaShogun]

I want to know why you want to leave the inner fenders into the trunk compartment open? I really don't give a fuck about the style or if it's haggard or not. I thoroughly enjoy seeing people have fun / enjoying their build. Beginning to end.

Just suggesting to seal off the whole interior of the car similar to factory. Not because of the effort into it. But there's genuine safety concerns.

[AscendaShogun]

You can seal off the seat belt holes. But there's still 4 gaping holes between you and the elements.

[CompleteXen]

Everyone in here is being a piece of shit including myself. All of you need to take one big ole chill pill, orally, anally, idgaf. Mind yall's own business.

[Reece]

Just seal the shit and be safe. Christ. It's not hard nor expensive and it will prevent assholes like me in the future.

[BRAWL SPEEDSTAR]

I have pics of/can name a decent amount of cars from the 90's - early 2000's with crazy offsets, unreasonable camber, etc.; but I get what you're saying Silverarrow, usually 90's-2000's style is functional ride height, slightly dished wheels, stocky body, etc. But this is besides the point, I agree that OP should definitely seal everything off to prevent any hazards to other drivers or himself.

These decisions seem kind of "spur of the moment" and need a bit more foresight before finalizing anything.

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[gbaby2089]

No one has called anything into question except for why you don't seal up the rear wheel wells. It does not inhibit your ability to do anything, just keeps your interior cleaner & makes the car a bit more pleasant to drive (though with what you've done so far it'll already drive like butt).

[5280VertDET]

Quoted for Truth.

There is no sense in arguing about this, but DUDE, you are going to want to seal them up. Aint no one docking "style points" (or adding them for that matter) for leaving the wells open. It's just simply a drive-ability thing.

Don't dig you heals into the ground about it until you drive it and track it, all I'm asking, keep an open mind about closing those holes. (see what I did there... open/closed... :keke:)

Also, ask anyone REAL RACER that has tubbed their front wells instead of just cutting them...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CAu15XCWcAAjQw_.jpg

[240sx_sr20det]

I've defended you in this thread, but I, too, would advise blocking the holes somehow. You definitely don't want to ruin the fresh interior you just worked so hard on.

[AscendaShogun]

We're all haters. No matter how constructive the criticism.

[Kalem_s13]

[TheRealSy90]

Four simple little plates to cut out and plug those holes with.
I wasn't talking a whole new wheel well extended to the over lol, just the openings.

[fatduece]

Lmao! I don't think anyone one could have foreseen what this feller was going to do after the first 2 pages.








On a serious note, this build went from cool to retarded.

[Counteract]

As much as I love this car, thread and build, I also despise it.

Please, for the sake of future-proofing the chassis, just get some rear tubs in there!

My last S14 required some arch work to fit my wheels, I never did anything other than cut them open.. huge mistake.

You're in Canada, I'm in the UK. The conditions aren't far apart, only your winters are so much more harsh! It's not like there's a PS13 as clean as yours up for sale that often, neither are they cheap like an E36 would be.

I've seen it done before on a PS13, but the images are dead, else I would have shared them. It's worth the extra few hundred dollars just to prolong the life of the chassis! So what if true Shakotan heroes don't do it, I would imagine a reshell in Japan would be significantly cheaper.

I doubt you'll listen, but I bet you'll wish you'd done it one day down the line.

[Kalem_s13]

[Standard]

Nice, ya looks like that'll work out well

[Pblesh85]

[gbaby2089]

Why do you want that.

[FormulaDz92]

Just read through this entire thread and like the other people I agree that it should be tubbed but that is really up to you. I will say I'm very jealous of the fact you're able to accomplish all of this work at only 18 or 19. I'm 24 and I doubt I could do this crazy of a build. Best of luck with it and keep up the good work. Do your own thing.

[5280VertDET]

Weld and blend in some thick as steel plates to all the rails, paint and at least buy yourself some time.

[Kalem_s13]

..........

[TheRealSy90]

So with springs that stiff you've eliminated all the suspension function. Neat.
I wonder how the car will ride with just tires for suspension like an old fat tire 3 wheeler.


If you got rid of the forward rake it currently has you'd gain some clearance to the front subframe.


Also I'd recommend bent-type rear toe arms, your straight type are basically hitting the subframe studs.


Good luck with axles. :)

Its deteriorated pretty bad. So, people are going to the take time and pleasure to flame you.

[5280VertDET]

At least tack-weld in some thick replaceable metal plates, like slammed mini trucks, to protect the frame rails and sub frame.

Hate to see all that work just get trashed in a year of driving...

Also, look into the xcessive skid plate to protect the oil pan, etc.

[Kalem_s13]

[FormulaDz92]

That's good at least you aren't going to leave them all mangled and useless. Try to do a cleaner job of the slimmer rails that the guy did in the picture though. The seams on his looks kinda half-assed, and drill some drain holes.

[wanboy]

I had to register just to tell you how badly you fcked that S chassis and how much of a retard you sound like on a public forum. You sound like a stereotypcial 18 year old douche who thinks he knows everything.

I would never care what someone else did to their car, but dude...you destroyed a perfectly good S chassis. Even when its completed its going to be undriveable. Good luck ever trying to leave your garage with out ripping off your front end. Not to mention trying to get that pos certified.

Jesus, all i wanted was to find a project inspiration build thread tonight but, found this stupid thread that I hate everything this car is about, and im not even that much older than you.

If this is the route these cars are about these days, i may have to find a different project.

cliffs: ITT how to be 18 years old, tell everyone to go fuck themselves and ruin a perfectly good S-chassis

Battery box is cool, build is about as cool as having aids. This is some Florida shit.

oh yeah, and resize your photos, dick face.

IDK why everyone is freaking out on this dude, you guys have some serious issues. It's just a car.

[MattDuqueBMX]

I dig it. Fuck the hate lmfao, you're fucking car you do to what you want. My 1JZ Hatch is rigged and people hate when I say it's built, but it's a built drift car! FYI, my QPs cut the same way and I have no issues, I slide it in the rain, dirt, kinda anything and it still stands strong. No tire gets thrown upfront by me so that's BS. Apparently if we're both within the 18 year old range with nice cars, I guess that makes us ignorant etc. Shits dumb though, build the thing the way you want it and have all the haters ride your dick when it's done. That's what always happens ��

Use imgur and resize your photos.

[Walkerbondd]

Not hating on the build, I like the inspiration but do you think when the motor goes back In there will be ant fitment at all in the front?? I know your springs are stiff but will the wheels even turn?

Good build though, I like where it is going.

[Kalem_s13]

[TheRealSy90]

So you'll weld up the engine bay holes but not the ones inside the rear quarters lol.


Keep er goin.

re-size your photos and we will all think you suck slightly less.

[BryanS14]

My only bitch is that looks like a shit ton of nice work and good $$ to just fuck up.

Other than that do what you do!

[codyzsilvia]

Can't wait to see pics of it outside the garage and driving!

I don't see where I was being ignorant. You're complaining about smoke getting in the car, but won't seal up the holes...
You cut the fenders out for wheel/tire clearance and overfenders. Sealing up the holes that pass through to the interior has no effect on these things.

[Reece]

Wait so drop knuckles and all of that were purchased and the car appears to have not a whole lot more than stock angle?

Looks like the down pipe sits way too low, aside from that it's looking good man! I hated on your build at first, gotta say it's looking good. Keep learning from mistakes and progressing like we all do, keep it up buddy :)

[Gr1mey_Norm]

Nice fan setup

You going to keep running that stock rad or you going with a big aluminium?

It’s looking better and better

Also. Harness bar. You can get some that bolt to the stock seatbelt locations.

This thing is sick. Would love to go this low on my s14 but don't know if I could ever bring myself to cut up my quarter panels like that. Maybe once I inevitably wrap my shit around a tree. Cool to see you plan on swingin it too.

[AscendaShogun]

It's rad to see his car in photos with some more info than just what some random facebook videos give.

Id like to learn more about that SR build. Last I heard it was just an NA with ITBs long tube headers and 272 cams.

[ditchs14]

I’m a big fan of what you’re doing man. Glad to see someone going this far with this style. Stuff that I plan on doing with mine as well, so watching your build is inspiring.

Keep this up !!!

Btw, are those pics of mikinyu screen caps? If so, I’m guessing drift tengoku? What issue?

[Kalem_s13]

[Motary]

That black one is pretty dope, awesome to see stuff I've designed being used on such cars (gktech stuff). Lovely project here too

[TheRealSy90]

I'm just trying to figure out how he's making axles work at that ride height. Must be the camber setting mostly.

[Motary]

Looks like the subframe is raised a lot, probably some axle spacers too or GTR axles (longer)

[pjurisprudencia]

How can you not seal that rear end up.

I’m kidding I don’t care it’s your car, digging the build a lot and looking forward to more updates!

[TheRealSy90]

Hmm, the subrame didn't seem to be raised any higher than normal riser bushings would do.

[Kalem_s13]

[Pblesh85]

I personally don’t see the point in owning a car too low to drive on a public road or any surface that is less than perfect.

But it looks better than ANY ANGLE KIT that shoves the wheel out past the fender/Baja truck look.

It is a bit sad to see a car that looks tasteful and has some nice stuff on it, being cut up. But it’s your car and vision. Do what your going to do.



I DO VOTE FOR LESS ARGUING AND MORE PROGRESS. Still eager to see a finished car.

[Kviper52]

Why are you so defensive to the point of rudeness? A member since 2009 with more posts and years than you just states that "it didnt seem" and you come back like an ahole.

[afishysilvia]

All that shit from Japan looks like crap, welds are terrible, crushed frame rails. Your car, you obviously dont mind cutting stuff up so touche to you. You must obviously live in an area where the roads are nice, which I am not used to. Interested to see the car and how it continues.

[EFITTZY]

Respect the style, I don't respect the execution.

Why not do it cleaner than 谷隆三 did? Do it properly with clean fab work? Seal it up so it doesn't leak? You obviously have the means and skill to do so.

I know its "still in the process," but come on dude. Flawed logic imo:picardfp:

[Abeo]

Lol, I bought that 2 tone silvia bumper off the OP. Pics seemed familiar...

[hobbs]

Hmm, the subrame didn't seem to be raised any higher than normal riser bushings would do.

Yeah, how dare you assume. Seeing as the OP is literally copying someone elses build part for part, he knows what he's talking about.

So it was hard to get work done in a garage with only a propane heater running off of a extension cord.

Strange, my propane heater runs on propane, no need to plug it in LOL

And dude those chincy toe rods are gonna snap in half in 2 seconds!

Def putting in lots of work tho, looking forward to seeing it complete!

lmao this one got me.

I think the build is pretty sweet OP, but I'd tone down the fanboi/weeaboo factor just a bit.

[tuzzio]

This build isn't my taste by any means, but this dude puts in more work than a large percentage of this forum.

[Kalem_s13]

[gbaby2089]

A piece of shit Nissan constructed with welds an 8 year old child would be embarrassed by, driven on public roads is so catastrophically different from a carbon tub, multi-million dollar Formula One car on a glass smooth circuit that to compare the two illustrates how little you've thought about anything on this.

[Kalem_s13]

Please post a link to your build :)

I don't have a build thread. I guess you can have a picture of my car.

Watch him proceed to bash your car because it doesnt look like a turd on wheels and it didn't require any "fab skills" xD

The biggest turn off about this thread is how fucking arrogant you are.

You’d be 1000x more inspirational if you came across more humbly about your work.

Instead I get the Hubeny vibes...
