[FittedDownLow]

Radical.

[Monster]

just went threw it i had no idea you had the hurricanes on your truck. i love the new look dude!!!!

need MOAR LOW in the rear and get those fenders a little more flared and you'll be a straight gangster =]

Thanks man, I've had the wheels for about 6months before I recently put them on. And yes more low in the rear is happening soon, hopefully before a show the 22nd of this month.

[teeceRS]

i've always loved hardbodies and you sir execute them perfectly!

[pejsa]

so finally!!! today was the day i got to really tear into the truck, keep in mind at the begin inning of the day this was a complete truck and this was all accomplished in about 7 hours.

so i commenced in tearing down the interior, and removing all the KA wiring (notice the new bars for the cage)



and the KA I ripped out of it that only have 7000 miles on a rebuild lol



what my truck looks like



and i got the s13 engine crossmember mocked in place (just tacked, will be fully installed tomorrow)





oh and some of the parts from the d21 will live on in this, my newest addition to the family



slowly but surely this thing will get completed

[Sgt Savage]

making good progress, been lurking this build on infamous nissan.

[FunfGang]

Awesome! So jealous of this and the new Datsun.

[JasonB]

cool truck man i dig it

[Mad_Maxx]

That Datsun is the sex.

[Forced]

Nice, I like it alot..

[teeslow]

damn man you put a lot of work into this thing. you live in east county sd huh? I see you around all the time. you helped kev dump his e30 if I'm not mistaken?

[austindavidg]

noice

[pejsa]

thanks guys, and yes this truck is in east county, and yes I'm the one who slammed kevins e30.



ok so this is how i decided to mount the s13 clip

i made a set of frame spacers out of 2x4 120 wall and trimmed, bent, and mocked them up heres what they look like



the reason i had to do this is because the s13 clip's mounting holes are a lot wider apart than the stock d21 frame rails. comparison photos



heres the spacers mocked up





had to drill holes through them to mount the crossmember, here it is bolted up... keep in mind the spacers will be fully welded to the frame... i just don't have good pics of it yet.






BTW the s13 steering column bolted right in to the stock mounting behind the dash and lined up perfect with the rack and pinion, ill have pics of that later on

[teeslow]

nice man we should meet up sometime. I wanna see your truck.

[pejsa]

ok so heres how the spacers look welded to the frame



still gonna gusset it more to the frame, the fish plates are 1/4"


some full shots with the rack and column in





how the column fits through the fire wall



and check it out! it bolts/ fits in the stock location, and positioning feels right on the money





thats gonna be it for a little while, i need to start building the motor, and bolt a trans up to it before i start cutting the fire wall and making the new trans x-member

[Minty_Fresh]

i love this truck.
