I picked up the new S13. Here is how it looks. I bought the car with the understanding that it had 1000 miles since last rebuild on the engine but for some reason the car wouldn't crank or start. After i changed the starter it started right up. Here are a couple of pictures. Bought it for 2000. My old car will be sold as a rolling chassis. The RB25 i had in my old car will be prepped and stay ready for when i decide to move it over to the new 240sx.

after digging around on the car of course it needs some TLC. I had to steal the radio harness off of my own car cause the previous owner cut this one too close to the connectors. I am waiting for my brake lines to come in so i can bolt in my nismo LSD, 5 lug conversion, and brake upgrade. I had to change the exhaust out with my other one because this one is way too loud for normal driving. I can't wait to really get started on this car the way i want too.

i bought it from a guy that i work with. He couldn't figure out why it wasn't running after he got back from deployment. He said he took it to a shop and they said it was a wiring problem. And sold it to me for 2000. I had it for all of 30 min before i found out that all switches and relays were working correctly. Pushed started it and it ran great. I changed the starter and now it cranks and starts up on its own. By the look of it i will be putting the wheels, brakes and diff on the car in about a week or so.

nice stamps. seriously, the people on Zilvia are such ****. Look at how we're acting here, everyone is happy. No butthurt users, and a happy OP.

yeah i'm over how zilvia is. I will show my build progress on here and sell on zilvia. I still have to get the correct sized bolts for the rear diff output shafts. I would like to bleed the brakes one more time, and i would also like to change the dash in this one. Tomorrow its just cleaning the car and garage as well as start preparing the engine and exhaust for fabrication.

Not much of an update right now because I have been taking care of other people's cars here lately. I have a buddy of mines s13 with an SR20DET in it sitting in my garage because we are installing a FMIC and relocating the battery. I have a buddy coming over later on today. He has an S13 coupe with an RB25DET. We have alot of wiring issues we are taking care of with his car. I will post pics of it later on tonight. As of right now i have 3 bovs for sale I have an HKS SSQV without a flange, an older Blitz SS with a flange, and a Greddy Type R with race spring and with a flange. If anyone is interested please message me. But here is how the car is as of right now.

The build will pick up for a little while after I get that stuff. I'm still trying to figure out how i'm going to do my FMIC. I'm thinking about leaving the lights up and flip the intercooler to see if i can get do the intercooler piping to where its as straight of a shot as possible.

Sorry for the delay in updates. I haven't done that much to the car. I have fixed a vacuum leak and remounted my front lip. I am still waiting on CA DMV to send me the title for the car so I can register the car in my home state and start driving it. The hood is starting to get hazy again so tomorrow i will be washing the car and buffing the hood back out. Anyone have ideas how to protect the carbon fiber look. I keep washing and waxing it but after about a month it still hazes up.
