Nissan 200SX S13

[Counteract]

Pictures of new shell, still with its current wheels and stuff on. All my stuff will be going on/in this one eventually. The car has a private registartion plate which I have had a quote on, I can sell it for almost what I'm paying for the shell and lights, so almost free clean shell, winner.

Not much to update with this, but a few things coming along soon.

Collected an SR20 at the weekend, drove the whole day with a mate to drop one SR off and pick this new one up. Good spec etc.

Got it out of my friends van, into my car, straight to another mates to store it. My friend noticed this:



Inspected it to find this:



GT28R fucked.



The guy I bought the engine from swapped the motor with someone else. It's that guy who appears to have done the damage. For a guy that breaks cars for a living, checking turbos is. Quite significant I would have thought.....

Anyway, there's no okay at all so I just have to find a new comp wheel to get it all back together. Or sell it and buy a Kinugawa TD06!

I have sold the S14 Ganador mirrors to free up some funds. Getting some R32 Ganador copies with indicators built in. Straight fit and not bad looking, super cheap too which is always a bonus.

Kind of put a deposit on a new shell too....

It's originally black and much better condition than mine. Been undersealed and everything.

The plan is to pay the rest off by Christmas, pick it up, get it in my mates garage and start work!

Plans:
- paint all kit factory black including smooth over filler recess and relocate the filler neck inside the car
- tub rear arches nicely, get a lip built so that any delam isn't going so smash my nice wings
- paint the engine bay
- keep the S13 interior for a while. I need heaters and stuff as it's winter! Eventually get the wiring sorted to run S15 clocks and then fit the S15 dash in the future

The new shell comes with type X rear lights which is a bonus. It's on a private plate which should be worth something, so I'll be selling that and putting the new shell on the old reg. I will hopefully have my wheels polished too so when it's back together it'll be like a brand new car!



Found this the other week too. It looks so high!

Oh nice motor, I like. I am not sure the color code, but a little digging and I can try to find you one

[bataangpinoy]

still wayyyy more than i'd spend on something that i'll probably explode at the track.

but props nonetheless, i hope you run a big ass wing on that hatch

In honesty they're SRB replicas. Still coast a lot but a damn sight cheaper than genuine ones.

[bataangpinoy]

damn. those koguchi fenders arent cheap.

i wish origin made a non vented front over.

Hmm it does look nice. Saw a VW Transporter earlier a similar colour, it didn't look like a factory respray though so I won't ever find out what exact colour it was!

Woody, my mate who has pretty much built this car, sorted my hazard light woes last night by plastic welding/soldering the two hazard buttons together. Factory springs in and it works a treat.

I put the dashboard back in again earlier and I'm so happy with it, I love it!

The CA18 has pretty much sold, just need to send a video of it running, the spare SR20 I had has also sold, meaning I have managed to put a deposit down on a great S13 SR20 blacktop setup, about 300bhp with a T28R, Tomei cams and ecu, 444cc injectors and some other bits, happy days!

I think his car is like maroon with pearl, unless he changed it up.

Thanks guys

Colours at the moment that I can't decide between:

My old Honda colour:


Ford radiant red like my friend Aaron's S14:


Citroen mica green (I would probably use the thunder grey under this, like factory two tone):


Any other suggestions?
