South of Detroit S13 Hatch Origin +75mm

[austin2112]

Hello zilvia, i'm Austin, 19 years old living in Windsor Ontario. This is my s13 sr20 hatch. I traded my 350z for it plus cash after wanting a bit more of a project car.

Had some fun, drove it for about a week.

Frost plug behind the flywheel went.. Coolant coming out the shift fork hole. To top it off I left my phone on my dads truck and he left.

While it was down, i painted the interior white and mounted the wheels I got in the trade.

Did my cute lil star shit, drove it all summer, got hired at a new job afternoons 6 days a week so I didnt do anything.

Starting to put it back together.

Thats about where Im at right now. Sorry for the biggest teaser title ever, my overs arent here yet. Container was delayed a tad, iRace has told me mid february. Maybe by the time this thread gets thru admin theyll be here lmao:keke:

Basic plans include buying some wheels hopefully within the next couple weeks. Overs, fake bn kit, dmax hood, 326 wing etc etc.. Custom tails, stupid stuff. Putting a 350z dash into it..... Z32 + dual caliper, pbm hydro.. I could go on forever.

Expect pics soon! Gonna drop it onto wheels.

what size are the fronts?

what size wheels?

[FormulaDz92]

They have to be right around 20". Those are massive.

[tricky_ab]

What kit are you planning to match up with those overs!?

CAR MODIFY skirts would sit right at home with this! but depends on what front bumper you will be using... curious as to how this will end up!

[Malik]

didnt know anyone made 70mm overfenders until now. starting to look decent tho

[austin2112]

The fenders are 75mm all around! Wheels are 18x10.5! Thanks for the positive comments. Bn type 2 rep kit is all I could scrounge up. Will be painted in the coming weeks

[di-devol]

What offset are the wheels? Spacers?

[marc-s13]

[d_nice]

Looking good man keep it up

[MattDuqueBMX]

Gorgeous car.

[austin2112]

Thanks guys!! Wheels will be going white along with a livery at some point when I feel the gold is destroyed enough..

[RB25GUY]

Damn , awesome colors and yeahwhite or like a almighty grey.... really like how this came out!

[tuzzio]

Said it a million times and i'll say it again. OEM metal > fiberglass.

[D-Clem]

I just don’t understand why people have to post negative stuff on people’s threads with literally no point to their statement at all. Keep up the build man, good luck.

[PoorMans180SX]

Not using the blocks they give you so that the fenders don't have that sudden stop at the bumpers?

[TheRealSy90]

Interesting choice on the blow through mafs, rarely see that nowadays.

[austin2112]

this is literally the worst build thread ever sorry everyone. no i didnt even bother with the small pieces for the edges im just going to destroy the car anyways i am sure! i really am wanting to do some white wheels after test fitting a pals xd9

Jealous! waiting on fenders for mine. Do you ever bring this over to Detroit? surprised i haven't see it around

[afishysilvia]

Love the car, but what in gods name is that tube coming up? Man I wish I lived in a place with no emissions lol

[CaBS]

The cops would throw the book at you in aus with that screamer. I wish they were chilled out here too. :(

[austin2112]

i havent been to detroit yet man the roads would eat my car!

the external wastegate dump tube is temporary as my fabrication guy is a good friend of mine and super busy in the rotary scene so ive been chillin even tho he hasnt finished the dump tube. thats also why i dont have a hood on.

thanks guys!

[DanielS14]

nice, I'm digging the white wheels way more. cool car man.

[austin2112]

just seeing this now - I have them, and plan to use them some day when I get a real kit and repaint the car lol. Cba to do all that bodywork for a car i learnt on and plan to destroy.

Interesting choice on the blow through mafs, rarely see that nowadays.

It kind've backfired as s14 stock maf does not like and the car runs pretty lean, but z32 maf and new tune this year should take care of that.

I wonder what ever happened to this thing.........

I know, I was just trying to bait Jahn to come back on the forums, I remember when it happened, we live in the same city, and it was a big blow to the car scene around here.

[speedgod^s13]

I mean OP wasn't lying, when he said he was going to destroy this car.
