Daily Drift Project/ S13 Build

lol

Are you sure? Ill take your word for it if your sure, Ive never had an engine in this car before.

no, i'm not sure. ive only done like 10 s13 swaps...

HAHA it really is supposed to sit like that. strange i know but yeah. looks good.

lol thats the same thing i said on my first sr swap but yea its definitely in right.your shit looks hella clean but you should pull that crank pully and repaint it black.keep up the good work your shit will be running in no time now

i'm jealous as hell, that shit looks clean.
nice job dude

Thanks for the compliments guys, I hooked up most of the wiring today. I need to do a tton of little things and hook up my PS lines and fuel lines and I should be ready to start it up!

Id like to get to at least one meet this summer before I move.

I had to re-rent a cherry picker because I couldnt manage to get the trans on under the car, long story but whatever.

Positioning trans

The 2 threaded holes for the xmember on the drivers side were stripped and shallow so I have the pass side bolts in and tapping these out

Hoping this wont be an issue

chain caught on my injector..fuck

fucked up the valve cover in a few places

Bolted in

I didnt realize how far 2nd back was, short throw necessary



I have to cover my VC because my hood hits it when I close it, Ive read the engine sits slightly higher on nismo mounts but Im still not sure about how high it should sit-maybe its my hood? Advice welcome..


Installing gauges today or tomorrow, maybe not I have finals tues & thurs so we'll see.

hood is ugly anyway, just get rid of it.

motor looks nice.

lol I kinda like it though, Im going to paint it the same color as the car though so no one can tell its CF

Thanks

so like what coilovers you getting?
wheels?

Teardrops are staying until after coils, Im still looking at them but focused on getting the car running and on the road first.

Stance & PBM are the 2 I am considering, but I need $$ first lol
Oh and Rota P45Rs are at the top of my list for wheels.

space the hood?

That was my first idea, well see how it turns out when Im done.

ur sr is sexy. i <3 blue sr's

here's a tip to anyone swapping motors.
Go to a pick-n-pull and grab the engine hoist hooks of any toyota you find. That way you won't fuck up your shit with the chain.

i saved mine from my AW11

Too little too late

So I am sick as a dog right now and cant do jack to my car since its at my dads house 20min away. Fucking sucks.

Some things I have gotten done.

crossmember threads to shallow tto use so Im tapping them out

PS Banjo boltt swapped

I hate rear wiper fluid lines

super rice gauges hooked up

super clean interior

Rare JDM custom radiator mounts

FMIC mounted

Updated bay shot

there not to shallow stick a screwdriver in the middle hole and line up the bolt holes

I can get tthem to line up, but the threads in the chassis are shallow, so the bolt wont catch.

So I have a SR MAF but NO PIGTAIL!! I NEED ONE ASAP! If you have the plug for a red top SR please let me know I need it now! Id really appreciate it!

Could a mod move this thread to the build section please.

I have been workin on the car as much as possible when I am working 50+ hrs and the weather has been complete shit lately. The good news is that it isnt 12 colors anymore, bad news is that its 2 colors still. I need an SR tstat housing before I can start it, after that I should be golden.

what colors is it and PICS?

No pics yet, its taking forever because I am working 60hrs/week and its been hotter than shit lately plus the bugs in my neighborhood are out of control so its difficult to work outside.

I think I need a new relay because I have constant power flowing to the starter as well as the rest of the car, so Ill be having a friend go to Nissan and snag it for me because I work 8-6 daily. Hopefully running vids soon.
