Universal lambo kit retrofit, or is it an s13 specific kit? How's it clear around the fenders?

maces13

I'm diggin your style dude, it's nice to see someone that got legit parts and actually uses em right.. Large scheme of things it's seldom seen, at least down here. Keep it up man

shift_haystack

Heres a photo of the actual hinge after being modified



My Panasport C5C2 also arrived, they were in a bit worse shape than they looked in the pictures so i pulled them apart right away to be polished up. They are all back together now with tires mounted. Will get some photos soon

It was actually a kit for a mustang.. Its from vertical doors USA so its one of the more expensive/quality kits available ($1200 ish). I got it for just 20k yen brand new in box. I was able to save a lot of money this way and since the S13 has weld-on hinges on the doors i knew i wasnt going to get a completely bolt on kit anyways..

Fender clearance is fine, had to cut off the lip off at the back though. Routing the wiring harness off the door has been a bit interesting as well, still working on that

Yeah thats very true, im pretty excited about them hahah

Thats sweet, can you post some more pictures with a fender on when its complete? Lambo doors get a bad rap but they're bad as fuck. I dig that blitz horn button, I have the same one.

ESCAPE!

Yes for sure when i'm done! I ended up paying more than i should have for that horn button because i wanted it so bad :;(∩´﹏`∩);: Oh well...

Man only a car this well put together could pull off lambo doors

ESCAPE!

Thanks for the comments everyone!!!

Plumbed in this catch can..


Spent a good part of my day adjusting/aligning my front suspension/steering setup. I had to go back to my old tie rods without the built in spacers, the Kazama ones plus the knuckles were giving me an insane amount of angle and it was on the verge of going over center

To make it work with the Kazamas i would have to go very low offset wheels, move the rack forward (or some sort of offset rack spacer) and probably widebody front fenders (which might end up happening at some point...). Anyways it steers, doesnt hit the tension rod but the angle is meh for now

Pulled my plugs out the other day, cylinders 1,3 and 4 looked a bit lean so i decided to get my injectors cleaned, flow tested and blueprinted

Nothing was super out of check or anything so i dont know if it was needed but good piece of mind either way



Took the opportunity to install my oldschool TOMEI fuel rail



Going to try and run it with my OEM FPR to keep things simple, i ordered an adapter that should allow me to make that possible so we'll see how it goes



Heres my adapter that i modified, it was originally to adapt a -6 fitting on to an OEM rail but i flipped it and drilled it out so the OEM FPR could fit in



Picked up some HKS 2-way adjustable pillowball mounts. You can adjust camber and castor with these, they are very cool. You can also flip them from left to right depending if you want to really stand up or lay down the castor angle



Since i have TEIN coilovers i had to drill and tap the HKS top nut



Currently have the castor angle decreased a few degrees from stock



Installed an ARC pipe that replaces the "twin turbo" pipe. Helps with turbo shuffle/flow and increased low end a bit apparently. Also looks cool



I sold my Panasport C5C2 (sizes werent really working for my setup) so i had to get a random picture of all the wheels together before they went to their new home



My old toe arms were very close to the subframe studs and probably would have hit under load so i had to get toe arms with a bend in them.... and new traction rods



And new upper arms..



The Toe and Traction arms are SPL titanium, not very JDM for my car but theyre very nice arms! The Upper arms are Ikeya Formula that were "used on the circuit 3 times" in Japan so they are very mint!

Always wanted a HUD in my car, the OEM nissan one is cool but i would have ran into issues running it with my analog Nismo cluster so i bought a Defi VSD concept unit



Displays all kinds of things if you hook it up to a Defi control unit with other gauges but i will just be using it for RPM and speed



Also you may be wondering what will be replacing the Panasports...

These should be here in ~ 1 week. They are Stich mesh in 17x 8J +5 and 17x9J +11



Still doing more parts buying... This stuff is all on its way still but im too excited so i have to post it lol

Autoselect brake master cylinder. Will give me better pedal feel and also get my brake lines further away from my engine since it is designed for RHD



Bomex aero mirrors. To those who havent seen these on a car they are similar to the RE amemiya mirrors for an FC in the way that they swoop back along the door





R31 GTS-R tappet covers. I really like the "all business" race look these covers have when theyre fitted



2 of my new wheels showed up (1 front1 rear)



The fronts seem to fit pretty nicely, havent test fit the rear yet, will be pretty aggressive... The rear also has a bit of a dent that i will try to pound out, pretty lame



Started work on my covers, these are going to be my little side project for the next while.

Started removing the coilpack cover mounts and casting marks on the "flange" part of the cover



Will also be moving the breathers to the back of the covers, possibly do weld on AN fittings as it will be the easiest



As well as continuing these missing sections of fins (where the crossover pipe on the R31 goes)



Also TOMEI racing hooks. That is all

REVIEW

ESCAPE!

Thanks^ Glad everyone appreciates the attention to detail and all the little parts I've spent years aquiring.

1 hose comes off the right valve cover (which is connected to the breather on the left cover with the oem hoses), then goes to the catch can. 2nd hose goes from the catch can to the intake pipe before the turbo

I agree! ^

Autoselect brake master cylinder showed up as well as the brake line kit



The master cylinder came from a BNR34 so therefore was abs. I assumed when i bought it that it would be like some of the oem nissan BMCs and the third port would be blocked off and possibly need a flare fitting. Turned out the third port just wasnt drilled and i had to drill it out which was slightly terrifying on a ¥76,800 master...



I had to swap to a non-ABS brake booster so the lines wouldnt hit the strut tower. Anything to do with removing the brake booster/brake pedal bracket is my least favourite job to do on these cars lol



Everything on the brake line kit fit quite nicely, i did run the lines through some thermal sleeve as they are routed across the front crossmember and somewhat close to the downpipe. Also just helps to keep the lines all routed together nicely and protected from other elements (not just heat)

Other 2 wheels decided to show up after sitting in richmond for a week. Mounted some 215/40 RT615s on the 8J fronts and clearance wise everything seems perfect up front



Slowly making some more progress on the GTS-R covers on the side



Tomei Racing hooks showed up, super cool having some new in box parts the havent been made for ages. However i dont think im going to be running them, front one would sit way too low (possibly interfer with bumper as well) and rear one doent fit with the aero bumper.



They are super cool i think theyre just designed with a stock aero Silvia in mind. However i may incorporate the front one when i design/build a front bumper rebar and have it higher up. We'll see



Bought some stupid things last week. This is the kind of thing that keeps pushing back the actual "completion" of this car.. Basically ive been on the fence about getting these for the past 6 months and finally pulled the trigger.



I tried to re-upholster my factory panels but it was frustrating and i couldnt get it to look nice. Thats basically what convinced me to buy the carbon door panels. They wont be here until mid April- ish unfortunately but i cant wait.

Also picked up a couple of head cushions for my Zeta 1 since mine were missing... exciting stuff :/



Lastly heres an aero test fit shot with the Bomex valance i recently got!
