Not sure if it's necessary. Once I get some time driving the car I'll decide if it's needed or not.

Because he's pretty busy at the moment unfortunately. Plus I'm trying to get the car done soon. The spacers for the front are pretty simple since I had some stock that is the perfect size.

Got the subframe done and back in tonight. My idea worked great for the rear two bushings as they were in great shape. The front two, however, pulled right apart they were so shot. So I had to come up with a new game plan up there. Luckily I found some perfect thick washers that fit almost dead on. Feel like I am finally over all the big hurdles.

right rear

right front

left rear

left front

the true pain in the ass part...

Finished my catch can setup tonight, among other things...

repda916 · 03-05-2011, 08:04 PM

im stealing your subframe spacer idea

love it everything done right

29psiHybrid · 03-10-2011, 08:57 PM

Finally got all the pieces and threw it all together tonight, determined to take a test drive. Probly going to redo the alignment again cause I pretty much rushed it and also skipped checking the bumpsteer. The rear subframe mod added alot of positive camber and the steering rack spacer made it impossible to center up the rack as the inner tie rods are threaded damn near all the way in. Gonna trim one up later on. Also need to make steering stops.

Enough jibber jabber, here's some pics...

beanerwitasr20 · 03-10-2011, 09:48 PM

Yea I used to run down there at Import Day. For some reason my car was always slower in Ohio lol. The outer tie rods are Touge Factory's and they came with the boots. Seem to be good quality so far and only $80 shipped on ebay!

towlie · 03-11-2011, 03:16 PM

Nothing crazy, maybe a 500rpm's earlier at the most.....I dunno.

I just did it for simplicity's sake since I'm not shooting for big power with this car.

AGNT84 · 03-18-2011, 02:58 PM

its kinda like taking the carpet out of your car...every ounce...every degree eventually adds up to help.

You get more consistent air temps. Plus the ugly filter is out of the engine bay

Drove the car all week without any hiccups. I like my truck but damn I missed driving a car!

Some crappy pics...

ixfxi · 03-20-2011, 11:50 AM

i hope that braided sleeving is fire retardant. last i checked, once it ignites it doesnt stop.. fyi.

i could do with the circuit sports parts, to each his own

interesting build

BiG MiKE86 · 03-20-2011, 12:14 PM

The time and quality of fabrication you put into this is amazing! U sir are talented to say the least! Awesome build

DRIFT-ELITE · 03-20-2011, 12:17 PM

You ever set the fire retarded stuff on fire. LOL

I did for shits and giggles, it lights up pretty fucking fast but it disintegrates as it's going up, I bet if you put some oil or gasoline on it, the FR aspect goes right out of the window. =)

97240TB · 03-20-2011, 06:42 PM

Your engine looks like a turd in that bay now... You need to do something about that. lol It's hard to look at the engine bay in pristine white then see... A dirty engine.

I think it's funny how someone said you would get flamed for picking championship white when it's one of the best colors to paint a car. God forbid a former Honda guy paint his Nissan the same color as a Integra.

who cares.. paint is paint, its not like honda OWNS that color. its fucking white, theres nothing special about it at all.

i like it. although its funny, this thread is *so* honda boy turned nissan

oh well, welcome to the community no less

Pure_JDM · 03-20-2011, 07:47 PM

I don't think it's that the engine is dirty... it's just that awful exhaust manifold. I'd get an aftermarket tubular one, or try to hunt down an exhaust shield for the stock one. I've seen plenty of people paint the stock one with high-temp paint as well. even plain black would look LOADS better than what you've got. Now that the engine bay is wrapping up, what's next on this project?

10-66kruk · 03-21-2011, 01:57 AM

Sick ass build! Holly Shit! Keep this up.

Black240Ct · 03-21-2011, 10:17 AM

nice work dude, that bay looks great

wannabdr1ftr · 03-21-2011, 01:54 PM

Damn, that engine bay is insane...its so clean and simple. Great job!

29psiHybrid · 03-21-2011, 02:15 PM

Thanks guys!

If you are talking about this hose I don't see how it's any more prone to fire than the factory rubber hose it replaced that actually was closer to the manifold...

If the stock one ever takes a crap I'll probly just replace it with an s15 unit.

I totally agree, that's why I picked up an oem heat shield yesterday. I'll get some pics soon. What's next? Get the alignment more dialed in for grip use, which is going to require some more rear fender work. And after that, have some fun with it!

ka-titties · 03-21-2011, 02:42 PM

are those genuine te37's or some other replica wheel?

negative

talking about the sleeving for the wiring. i work with that stuff on the daily, its available in different grades.. but you gotta be careful because it ignites REAL easy. Pretty looking but also lets in a lot of dirt.

mewantkouki · 03-21-2011, 10:37 PM

That intake setup is a terrible idea for a maf equipped car... I ran my ka-t car like that and it was a nightmare to drive in any wet condition. Wet maf = MEGA rich / bogging, sputtering, fuckry
