GWB654 Finally Complete Build(For Now) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

GWB654 · 04-10-2011, 06:42 PM

First i would like to thank my family and friends especially my wife and Hulkster_S13. i couldn't have done it with out you! So a little background on me first. Born and raised on the island of oahu. Started karting at the age of 10, Hawaii State Karting Champion in 2001 KT100 class. Racing is in my family. My dad race’s a DB1 FF in the San Francisco region SCCA. I have been in to 240sx since 1999, drifting since 2003. Got out of the drifting scene due to the only raceway park on our island shut down(still no track due to dirty politics!!!!!). I purchased this s13 in april of 2007 for the price of a whooping $700 with a 180sx type x black top. Only running on three cylinders. compression test reveals cylinder #4 zero compression, Leak down test on #4 reveals that a intake valve stuck open. So i decide i am going to do a full rebuild. After removal of the head it is revealed that a washer had some how got in between the valve and head keeping it open. So the build began. Due to the high cost of shipping to hawaii i would wait till i had some cash to throw away in shipping before i ordered stuff. It took a long time to get all the parts. So i will let the pic’s do the talking. If you don't like it then press the back button and move along!

Insane! 19s...wow. Can't wait to see more.

*holemilk00* · 04-10-2011, 06:49 PM

Damn it looks nice man.

Just one question, it doesn't look like you got much penetration on that stitch welding, got any better pics and what settings and gas and such were you using?

worr20 · 04-10-2011, 07:09 PM

Best car to come out of oahu. CHEEE 808allday!!!

Have you thought about Notching the frame thats right above the front wheels? Itd give you way more room for them dubs to move around and not rub up there

240sxdriftin · 04-10-2011, 07:16 PM

at first i was like whoa bro.. your roof wing is the wrong spot... then it was fixed.. hahahaha dope build!

s14tan · 04-10-2011, 10:19 PM

Those rear quarters look sick!!! Did you say they were custom?

Nick_04K · 04-10-2011, 10:29 PM

Damn this thing is aggressive! 19's on an s13 is straight up crazy. How much travel do you think the front has before the tires hit the chassis?

hulkster_s13 · 04-10-2011, 11:15 PM

satek · 04-10-2011, 11:57 PM

Very impressive....those 19s look massive!!

jdizzy204 · 04-11-2011, 12:04 AM

sqd · 04-11-2011, 12:48 AM

I do just got to get lug nuts that fit under them.

worr20 · 04-11-2011, 05:47 AM

Im glad those wheels stayed in with someone thatll use em good. lets see some sampo vids at firestations. lol

Id love to see this car being used. Im coming back in may to get married im pretty excited to see the aina again. wahiawa born and raised! where you from? Looks like kaneohe/kailua side.

Anyway Great job with the car! even though itd look more crazy with the front low. but being 19s i doubt thats possible without notching.

shoots

ruthlessef-9 · 04-11-2011, 06:18 AM

blueshark123 · 04-11-2011, 09:10 AM

If I could score a safety check that could happen but chances of recon are slim so we will see if it ever will get street legal

I have been debating painting them for awile now but havent made up my mind!

AE_Racer · 04-11-2011, 09:39 PM

Not a fan of the wheel setup but very quality build. Thanks for sharing!

X2daC · 04-11-2011, 10:36 PM

That car is ridiculous.

Needs less Corbeau though.

iROCKchucks · 04-11-2011, 11:34 PM

I see how u put a stop to the pink theme, and just left it under the hood..thought it was going down hill for a sec. Nice build.

97240TB · 04-12-2011, 03:09 AM

Love everything Except the pink, The front wheels are too big honestly. Car would look great if it were lower.

PoorMans180SX · 04-12-2011, 07:37 AM

This is cool man! You've got your own style, but you still have good taste. That is a rare combo my friend.
