So close yet so far, 40,000 pennies away. 300$ for the intercooler piping and a bill for another Fuel pump, since my dumb ass sold the previously installed one to afford something for a sr some time ago. So you guys are going to help my donation fund ;). Jk. that other car in the background is a rb20 car I just finished, so its going on ebay in the next couple of days. So as long as it sells for 400$ I will be good to go. Well here are some pics, nothing very presentable, but hey, what the darn. Here are some pics, talk amunks your selves, I'm getting fore clamped.

Your right on the size. 275 in the back. I got some 265's for the front but they bearly fit, a bit of the rubber was touching the shock. O I down sized to 245's in the front. It is not a real sivia, I converted it to rhd to eliminate the whole turbo 'n' down pipe clearence issues. Thanks.

Thanks man, I got the rims (Manaray) and I admit they need some good cleaning, but I want to get the sucker on the road before I jump on the cosmetics a bit. Nothing show car like, but stuff like an aluminium dash, cage, and a good cleaning. I just put the intercooler in front of the car, to get an idea on the fitment. I took some pics, so let me load them up.
TheSnail

Here are some pics, It would be easyer to picture it in place if the lights and grill were in place, but I still have to do two more coats of flat black, before then. Oh well, here is an intercooler infront of a car.

Forget the rear tires look at the damn lack of space for the fan I mean I have seen RB26's is S-13's but that one seems unusually tight maybe it is the pic. I am aware of the super thin fans you can buy but jeeze cutting it close.
TheSnail
10-03-2004, 07:29 PM
That angle from the top is a little deceiving. It has 1.5inch clearance. The motor cannot go back any more, as it sits right now, the back of the manifold is hitting the clutch master. Hope fully it will not break it with engine movement. I got a set of FD fans, that I will place as pusher's between the intercooler and radiator.
silviasichigo
10-03-2004, 08:10 PM
Yeah I figured that is what it was hahahah yeah I know auto shop wing the cut the core support and move the radiator foward (large 3 core) oh well nothing electric fans won't fix.

If you look at this shot you can see the space.

Cool, it may take me a minute, but here is a link to a rb20 one I built and sold prior to the burgandy rb20 one. If that makes sence. :)

Heh, yeah, not much clutch fan space is there? In my 180SX clip with my 26, they cut into the rad support to set the rad forward and had a pusher and the clutch fan. Fun stuff. The best part is I can't find a clean fastback to put the damn engine in. It's 12:30 am on a school night and I'm STILL searching for a chassis. Have fun with your coupe, all the work's done on my swap, just have to switch things over, do my re-wiring and I'll be happy, but I can't even get started!!!! :gives: God, I hate Wisconsin.

Nice car, sorry if this is a threadjack. Looks like it's time for bed. :zzz:
TheSnail

Im guessing you bought that 180 clip off ebay for 7k, the one with the colorful valve color? I hope when you say " switch things over" you mean convert the car to rhd. That mount-kit that you have is most likly rb20 mounts and crossmeber. Thats all they have to do in japan. Hope your a good welder, and good luck with your swap.

Yup, that'd be the pile. :Ownedd: It's not going to be straight-forward like I said, I think I was just trying to convince myself. Anyways, I'll be taking my time doing this build up, fabricating lots of little things down in AZ with my grandpa who does loads of racing and had lots of solutions for brakes, steering, shiz like that. It will be a pain in the butt, but, if it were easy, it wouldn't be special for me. Now, enough thread jacking, let us know how your coupe is coming along.

P.S. I hope nobody thinks I'm a tool for getting that clip. Nothing's going over before getting checked out, I'll be fine, no worries. :ugh:

No one thinks your a tool. That clip was a damn good deal. Correct me if Im wrong, but that thing has around 700hp already, with a pfc, z32 maf's, and a bunch of other stuff. My only concern would be the condition of that motor. But even if you had rod knock, it would still be a good deal. And if you do have rod knock, just order a rbr30 block from GTR-Shop in Aus for 1500$. With the mods you have and a rb30, you would be God. That is my plans when I blow the stock bottom end. Screw building it back up, rb30 would be the best bet. Any ways Im blabbering now.

ps: If you need any help with your swap, Shoot me a email at [email protected]

Bingo. There are loads of bonus items on the clip that you couldn't see in the pictures, or were in the description. The goal is to eventually grow out of the bottom end and go RB30, damn, am I that easy to read? I figure the bottom end is a little worn, it's an ex-drag car with 850 "claimed" horsepower. RB30's actually already budgeted... but, things need to be done in order, so I'll be busy trying not to wreck it this summer, then next winter I'll be rebuilding the car, making things faster, stronger, nicer.

Thanks, I had a shitty day, and this really helps turn it around hearing that knowing minds are thinking the same as me. :-/

NOW, back to your project... :D

I will rock it primer, for a while, I would rather get a pfc D-jetro and a LM-1 instead of a fixing dings, and paint. But when I do paint it, it will be black, nothing fancy, just black. Then maybe sell the wheels, for a set of mesh CCW's , black with polished lip. It will be primer, for 6months, unless it grows, on me, or inless I have to repaint it every 3 months due to fading.
