My 2012 ps13 project

[johns13silvia]

Finally im getting to start my ps13 for 2012 , i bought the car in 08 and drifted it throught out that year done a few bits to it and early 09 had it up the north for a practise day and the oil pic up pipe broke off in the sump and starved the engine and i ended up makeing bits of 1 of the big end bearings it done a small bit of other damage but not that bad ,so i took out the engine and stripped it and got all the parts i needed to sort it out and just ended up not putting it back together so the car has been lying up since 09 .
So now im gonna try build it up as much as my funds will let me and try and have it ready for competition in 2012.

PLAN
Strip it bare and seam weld it underneath
Make up a spit for the car so i can get to the underside to seam weld
Seamweld it inside and engine bay
Put more bars in the cage and make the chassis as strong as i can
Spray inside ,cage and engine bay
Put sr20 back together
Hopefully get bigger turbo,z32 afm,alloy rad ,fmic,oil cooler
Get hub knuckles modified , steering rack spacer as many suspention arms as i can afford
40mm wider front fenders, wheel spacers
Thinking off getting an rb25 gearbox but have to see about funds
theres a good bit of other bits i will be doing and ill add to the list as im going along

If anyone has any suggestions for me as im building please feel free to let me know
ill update the thread every few days
heres a few pics of some work i got done on the engine bay today

I got a nice bit off stuff removed from the engine bay


ive a question when removing the loom from the car can the loom be removed without having to cut it somewere is there a break in the loom somewere as this is my first time removing a loom from a car

disconnect it at ecu and feed it out to engine bay

as for addin bars to cage.. i think u should wait to see the new regs coming out for 2012 cause i think the thickness of the cage itself is changing

Best of look with the build man.

Be some rush to get things done if they bring in new cage reg's, imagine everyone trying to book in!
