ryguy · 02-17-2007, 12:04 PM

Did you just use blue bulbs behind the dash? I love how that looks. BTW nice car man, i like the different colored panels and ducting.

GTChampion · 02-17-2007, 12:18 PM

Yeah i wanna know how you did the gauges too

Rapeacivic · 02-17-2007, 12:36 PM

Hello Behind Horizon,

I see that you are from Germany, I live in Spain and I have a S14, performance parts are hard to get for the car here in Spain and laws here are very strict on modifying cars. Just wondering where you get your parts from and how you are albe to pass yearly inspection on the 200sx with a modified engine.

You did a great job on your 200sx, the body work and engine work is first rate.

I got my parts mostly from germany, england, the states and japan. We over here in germany have only a inspection every 2 years, i have one year left on my car.

Therefore i need to get my car legalized until then, what might be possible. Thats why i'm driving arround with it only at night, but there is still the risk to be catched by the german cops.

Because of this, this summer will be the last i'll drive arround with it on the street, the car is just to hardcore and dangerous for driving arround on the streets. Also the problem is that i want to make it even more hardcore.

@ all:

Here are the LED's you guys need to change the color of your gauge, you'll need ~5 of every type. Just check out ebay.com.

The inspection is only every second year and it`s possible to legalize almost every modification in germany, but that`s very expensive. I`ve spent over 700 Euros just for the german TÜV this month.

Behind Horizon get A LOT of parts from frsport.com . I would recommend you also perfectrun, nengun, takakaira, japanparts. My favourite stores.

BH, sorry foranswering the questions for you.

phanta · 02-17-2007, 03:21 PM

stock jdm cluster goes up to 180 km/h though yours goes up to 220+

But wings are much more pitch and roll sensitive, and are more difficult to balance with front aero, assuming they provide any downforce at all (most wings sold are nicely fake). Properly designed underbody aero is the way to go, as it allows for a car that is aerodynamically stable with respect to center of pressure, and can provide more efficient negative lift.

adrians_s13 · 02-17-2007, 03:57 PM

56K DEATH!!! lol... i love that front bumper, i didnt think the pignoses had potential :P
nice work

ms!3 · 02-17-2007, 04:40 PM

Yes, they'll fit the stock socket.

BC240 · 02-19-2007, 02:04 PM

One of the nicest s13's ive ever seen, Very good taste my friend.

wannabe_drifter · 03-04-2007, 07:52 AM

Your car is looking awesome, great work, I wish I had skills and money to build a car like that.

Behind Horizon · 03-12-2007, 01:19 PM

Update:

Because of heavy ground clearance problems with my SSA-Exhaust System i decided to go for:

My new exhaust:

Buddy Club Spec II

Decat-Flex-Pipe:

A measurement to prevent shooting out and vibrating of the Silencer:

You have to use a closed nut for the second, additional mounting pount.
If you use a normal nut, dirt comes in and will destroy the thread.

My new turbo ellbow and down pipe in one:

Circuit Sports Cobra, also we shortened it by 27mm as i wasn't satisfied with the clearance to the ground because my turbo is hanging lower then stock because of the Race-Manifold.

The next step was to cover the Cobra with an good heat shield to prevent burnt foots and legs.

Also i wasnt satisfied with the ground clearance of the Spec II exhaust so we extended it by 70mm and welded the silencer
at a different angle on.

The Decat-Flex-Pipe is finished too:

actually in the states it only goes up to 120mph, 180km

GSXRJJordan · 03-14-2007, 12:01 AM

I love the custom exhaust work, I'm gonna have to chop/reweld mine to get that much clearance. Looks great ~

I'll do a complete 5-Lug swap incl. Brembo Brake swap at this weekend, new wheels are here too but not bbs. I think BBS are looking great on BMW's but not exactly on S13's /S14's.

That are normal nuts, a lot of people do have problems with these ellbow nuts coming all the time off...

Man, does your head hit the ceiling of the car, with those bottom mount rails? those seats are sitting mad high.

ragenasian2 · 03-14-2007, 07:03 AM
