Pulled off the skirts to find no big rust patches thank god





So stuck it up onto the lift this evening to pull out the engine tomorrow, power steering is kicking back like fuck so i might change it to a s14 rack when then engines out, as it sat this evening



Apexi cat back is a bit rusty so been looking at the japspeed shotgun pipe but think it'll be a diy job!!

not sure what to do with this fella ,

Progress been slow so far just got the engine out and the new engine out of the donor , came across a shagged engine mount so picked up a spare , while the engine is out gonna change the rack and power steering pipes to R33 ones so i can run the R33 power steering pump.

So the christmas has had this dragging out a bit but got bit done last couple of days, continued stripping off the hicas, removed the steering rack/pipes etc, also removed the hicas rear subframe to make way for the 180sx rear subframe. Nothing too bad found , had to make up a couple new brake pipes as they were rotten through, a bit of heat and the trusty hammer got the hicas ball joints out and then fitted a pair of poly bushes to replace them.
Replaced the steering rack and lines with a r33 one so i'll loose the speed sensitive steering(prefer the feel without it anyway)
Engine was straight forward to fit , just a few little bits needed swapping around, put the best clutch i had there into it, looked like a stage one or something similar but should be well capable for standard power out of the RB25. Used the RB20 box to make it a bit easier.

Right bit of an update , going one step forward and two steps backwards with this build, engine is coming back out and been put into a buddys S13, picked up a R33 last week so plan is to get some track time in it before using it as the donor to power the 32, which in the mean time may have a rb20 fitted back into it till i get suspension / stance / bodywork etc sorted out. Decided on a satin grey colour and looks like i'll be loosing the boot spoiler and keeping original front bumper and side skirts so on the look out for a different rear bumper.
So this is the new donor
Spec is still a little unknown
RB25det
FMIC
HKS intake
HKS blow off valve
Custom hard pipe intake

HKS F-CON IS
APEXI Multi-checker

Tein super street dampers
Poly bushed front tension rods
Apexi front brace
Boot brace
Cusco hicas lock out bars

Rotas and kit are sold need to give it a good service and then get a power run done on it , Hopefully i'll get some actual progress on the 32 soon
