my car in the garage getting ready for paint. was going to do it 2 tone but every 2nd dude has done it and for $80 more i got enough paint for the whole car so decided to paint it a nice jet black. cost me just $300 for paint thinners and clear coat. SCORE :) so began the long task of sanding it back

just a shot of the interior. there is not a scratch anywhere

factory turbo... yayer

had to get a new gaurd as some idiot bogan kicked it in at the diesels

got these rims for $200 but have some 17x8 koya drift techs on their way

factory turbo l20et with 110000km on the clock. with 14psi i got the car to a 15.6@89mph with bald tyres. not bad considering the age, size and the fact it came with 140hp standard.

all primered up and reary for paint

this was the first coat of paint but i fucked it up as i had too much air pressure through the spray gun. after some experimenting i got it right

 

me and my mates started the primer at 11 in the morning and had most of the chrome back on at 11.45 pm on the first nite of the chch 4s and rotarys. just in time to go for a cruise and have a look at some sweet cars and some hot bitches.

 

will take some pics of the finished paint soon and will hopefully have my motor out before the next update as i have an rb20det waiting for a rebild and some massive power mods

 

go to this url if you love old skool jappers. this has to be the best vid on the net.

just a pic of the rims i have ordered. they r koya drift teks in racing gold and are 17x8 all round

 

decided it was time for an update. just a small 1

 

just outside in blocks, in the process of pulling the motor and box out. havent been doing fuck all as its too cold and dark after work and cant really be fucked working on my stuff after working on trucks all day. just starting to get sum cash so will start getting stuff 4 my motor an hopefully rebuild it soon. when the motor and box is out i will put it up for sale so if any 1 is interested, leave me a pm or email me.

 

after painting. looks good but needs a fukn good cut and polish and rest of chrome fitted. i think its much much better than the ugly poo gold.

 

still waiting on my fukn rims as mag and turbo r really getting on my bloody nerves. this waiting will just make that day even better. if you think i should keep the old skool theme going by getting older wheels, let me know as im open to any suggestions.

 

if you have any recommendations as to what i should do about the interior just leave a comment. not sure wether to tidy up original inside or strip it out and just put in a cage and some buckets

just a quik update. havent done to much as each time i think i can get my brake upgrade done, i run into a problem and can fix it at home. like today after 8 weeks i finally managed to get some rotors off damon and fitted them to my hubs. i went to bolt up my calipers but they will need a small amount of machining to fit onto my struts.

 

just some shots of my progress and how the brakes should look like when im done.

 

fitted larger 290mm vented rotors from a z31 300zx. much bigger than my shitty 250mm stock ones

 

what the brakes will look like once the calipers get machined and r fitted up.

 

will post up some more pics soon when my camera starts working properly.

 

managed to get my box, engine and radiator and front end pulled out one saturday afternoon with the help of a mate and sold the motor for $150 to help fund the rebuild of my rb20.

 

 

just a few shots showing where my front mount will fit. am pretty stoked with the amount of room i have to work with, will make life easier.

 

as it sits below was how i wanted it for shorter intake lengths but unfortunately the entrance and exit pipes will be too close to the head lights as you can see in the pics.

 

as you can see, very little room for some piping

 

so plan B,

 

turned it the other way and what a difference. so much more room. will just need some minor surgery to get the piping done, but that can wait as the brakes and engine rebuild will be 1st.

 

will hopefully start getting my bottom end built up soon. plans are to clean and hone the block and make sure its not to oval etc, than polish the crank, shot peen the rods, throw some forgies at it and get the hole lot balanced including the flywheel and clutch. once thats all done i will worry bout the head, turbo and inlet and all the small bullshit.

 

if all goes to plan the bottom end should be done by xmas.

Nice!

finally fitted my new mags to the car and damn they look sexy. look so much better with tyres on them. the only problem now is the massive gap between the gaurd and the fact i need some spacers on the front to clear my struts. just a few shots to show you what they look like. so glad i didnt get the black ones.

Nice Nissan.

 

Reminds me of the Nissan Stanza we had here in US. Not the Nissan Stanza sold overseas ( which was the 510 in US, the late 510, early eighties ).

 

But that Stanza was a FWD Nissan. Yours is a RWD Nissan .

 

Cool ride, and the added feature that we never got it here makes it appealing.

 

Wicked!

Sweet, another KIWI on ratsun, I've seen you on datsun.co.nz a few times. Nice to have you here!

[athoose]

I kinda liked the brown, it's all business. Very nice nonetheless.

cool car...now lower that thing!!

[dirtyleppa]

yeah, i regret painting it black now. i will be repainting it the factory colour when im done with the engine, suspesion and drivetrain.

 

it is lowered at the moment with lowered springs up front and cutties in the back. i will lower it properly later on with adjustable coil overs etc, but these will do for now
