dude the stuff you do is amazing. i couldn't stand doing all of that wiring i'd be a wreck

Thanks. It's taken a lot of time to pay attention to little details like I have, but the finished product will make everything worthwhile. As for the wiring, that chit drives me nuts too, which is why I enlisted Russ' help. I am good at soldering, cleaning up, and securing wires, but have trouble when it comes to logistics surrounding which ones I need and where they should be routed.

Thanks...I'm sure it will. Does your sandblaster have a separate line to vacuum the sand after it exits the blast nozzle? If so, that'd be awesome. One of the few downsides to our large sandblaster is that it gets sand everywhere.

I mostly use the beadblaster cabinet for small things as you mentioned. Works great on exhaust components like turbine outlets and exhaust manifolds.

It wasn't the prettiest thing, no. Mainly burned-on oil and some cam and cylinder wall scuffing. It sucks that I've had to spend lots of time and money getting it right, but the engine rebuilding experience has been extremely valuable.

Coming along nicely it seems! Keep up the good work!

Taking alot of photos of the SR build? That would be very informative to someone like me. :thumbsup

Thanks... I finished up some more stuff today, and plan to do about 6 hours worth of work tomorrow. I'll try to get some update pictures posted soon.

Yes, actually, I am. I would like to do a "SR Rebuild" webpage someday, but cannot seem to find the time.

I live in South Charlotte, but work on the car near uptown. You are welcome to check things out.

If by "gay," you mean "ultra cool race-bling pioneer," then yes, I am. :cool I'm not going to the meet, as I have to drop my engine in (hopefully). there's still a slight chance I'll come, but it's not likely.

Ummm...$589/each, maybe? Seriously, money is the big concern here. I would like to have a full SPL setup (front and rear) eventually, but money is limited.

raen419 · May 16, 2005

$589 each? shit, nevermind. i understand then.
i thought it was 589 for both like everything else (multi link) on the site.

I thought it was $589 for one since the line reads "SPL pro front lower arm S13 $589" and the ones sold as a pair read "(pair)" for the most part.

If they were $589 for a pair (which they still might be), I would consider them more seriously. Thanks for the input though.

By "S13," I assume you mean "SR20DET?"

sr20goofus · May 18, 2005

never assume 2fass......you know what happens when you assume

manual seat belts out of a B13 200sx installed in the 240 now (bolts in completely), interior is completely stripped, and the chassis harness removal is begining next week along with Painless switch panel install....

what are you doin about cahssis wiring and engine wiring foryour car btw? I know you removed everything, but i dont recall seeing any plans for whats goin to replace whats removed to make the car NASA legal or runnable after everythign is ready to go back togeather.

Regular seatbelts...loser! All the :supercool kids run 5+ point harnesses. Good luck with the wiring...it takes a helluva lot of time.

What's a "Painless switch panel?"

Chassis and engine wiring are reconditioned OEM. The chassis stuff was stripped heavily and will be rebound and refastened. This is about 50% done as the wires underneath the dash (when it's reinstalled) need to be cut to final length, bound, and secured. A lot of this has been relocated from the engine bay, so it's a WIP (Work In Progress).

After the engine is dropped in, my friend Russ is going to come back up to help finish everything off. We are going to use some nice heat-resistant loom in the engine bay, hiding as many wires as possible, and then finish up the underdash portion in a similar manner.
