needs spacers badly i think . those bc's can go pretty low so drop a little and your on a winner, oh and a bitta camber .
they should look good against the black i think.

Can't go lower in standard arms. Picture it with side skirts they'd nearly be on the ground. Was thinking about spacers alright... I love the way it looks though.. And I do still need to be able to take a speedbump as it's my daily...
You'd be surprised how well you can get around in a very low car when you try it. I'd say you could survive daily being a small bit lower anyway.
Pretty bad here in cork to be honest. Some deadly speedbumps and dips around the place... The arches would be filled better with a higher sidewall alright...Quote:

That looks a lot better! Stick with that height I think, you'll only wreak the car going lower! Drift cars look cool with broken bumpers, road cars don't!

Car is looking the business, and wheels really suit it! Keep up the good work!
Nice car fella .
Loving the interior.. mint!!
Where did you buy the nardi new.??
Cheers dude. I got the Nardi from Barry's Motorsport in Cork. I have a HUD to go in and some other nice little bits.Quote:

met Larz at just jap, love the car in person, sat into it, didnt want to get out!
So at this stage i've told a lot of people face to face about my plans for the car. I didn't really mention anything on here until it was all a bit more concrete and the plan was actually in motion. The plan right now is to swap out the 110whp non vvt sr20de for a jdm 2jz-gte twin turbo which i got a few months ago. The plan is to run standard turbos, but up the boost to a safe enough level. I'm looking at running about 350whp (2jz BPU) which would be more than enough for the type of use the car gets. It's still my daily after all.
I'm going to get a wiring loom from thewiringspecialties who do a complete s13 to 2j drop in loom. The plan is to have it looking extremely stock, with working a/c and original s13 clocks (HUD + Digi Dash). Still deciding on where to get it done. I've a huge list of parts that i need still but slowly but surely i'll collect them with a view to having the engine in next summer after my wedding in April.
So if anyone has any 2j bits (at good prices :P) that would suit a road car build, drop me a message.
Another piece of the puzzle. An r154 gearbox with JZ bellhousing. I got this off Darren MacNamara. It's the box out of his 240sx drift car, the one Matt Powers drove at IDC rd3. Kinda cool :)

I must get it opened up and checked out by someone before the conversion takes place. Engine and Box out of the way, next step is getting that loom and a good clutch/flywheel combo.
I will retract my original statement and now definitely like the way your going with this.

hahahaha thanks man :p Was originally gonna be a 1J conversion but I couldn't resist that extra J... I will need to change the wheels when I do though, as 8jj just won't put the power down, but they do me fine right now with my limited power. I'm also thinking that I want to set the car up for proper handling, so the low pokey look might suffer slightly as a result. The car looks awesome right now but handles shite through fast corners when not sliding.Quote:

I've gotten a bit obsessed with ps13s too over the last few months. I'm buying up a load of oem body panels, lights, etc. noticing that interior parts are difficult to find if not shared with the 200sx/180sx.
I love this car but i really dont like the idea of the jz motor in it :( i love the stock looks or even the 90s look and there isnt enough cars like this one at the minute.If your going sorting out your 180sx to get it back on the road/track and since its a little bit beating up would you not take the engine out of the 180 and put it in the ps13 or even ibts on your original engine??? And put the jz motor in the 180sx with the kit thats on it with wider wheels?? would it not make more sense since the ps13 is going to be a daily car for you ?? but i guess there your cars but im gonna leave these hears for you keep you the good work :)

I thought about it but made decisions based on a load of factors. Firstly decided against itbs because it's the non-vvt sr20de, and itb builds can be stupid expensive with very little in return. Research showed that it would cost 2.5-3k just to get 200bhp out of the engine. Cool and different, but not for me, I want that turbo flutter and jz sound.
Secondly, I don't want to take the engine out of the 180. It has 60k on the clock from new and if you inspect the car you'll quickly see that despite getting a bit of track time, the 180 is in awesome condition. I'll be selling the 180 as a fully road legal NCT'd car, and changing the engine would add no value to that sale.
As for 90's styling, don't worry :) Cosmetically the car isn't going to change much other than a respray in the same colour.
Put the front off the 180sx onto it. Onevias FTW!! Who's gonna fit the engine for ya?
Front swap deffo aint gonna happen... with respect to sil80s and onevias, the s13 silvia front belongs on the s13 silvia and the rps13 front belongs on the hatch.Quote:

Do it yourself. What's the worst that could happen
plans sound ureal.. id love a 2jz swap at some stage
my 180 is being rebuilt currently should be getting it back in the next week or 2
I have a Japanese fella in carrigaline doing it for me, hes a genius when it comes to these kinda cars
pm me if u want more details man!!!
Interesting... I'll keep it in mind. Would love to see a swap he's already done.Quote:

what wheels are they lad, need these!!
You will have issues with the clutch master cylinder on the bulkhead when running standard twins on a jz in a s-body. The Nissan one is too big and comes in the way of the inlet pipe.
Yeah did someone tell me a honda civic clutch master cylinder will do the job?Quote:

Would ideally have it as close to stock as possible...
Will be one sweet ps13 when there's a jzgte in it
defo dont go for the civic option so!Quote:
