Ok so this week i will be figuring out why i have a oil pressure problem and i will be "carefully planning" on cutting chit up for my bumper support. Pics will be up on whether or not i will have a happy face or very pisses off and blowing the bish up.

 

i'm going to butcher my s13 front crash bar this weekend.

have to make the silvia front fit somehow

 

Don't you need a front clip for that? Either way its going to be fun. I enjoyed cutting my bumper to fit around the IC but that was easy. This will take planning, finesse, and patients. All of which i lack lol

 

i replaced the one on my car (had a dent, probly minor accident) with an s13 hatch front bar

you need the silvia one to convert to silvia front, but i'll just butcher the s13 stock one since my widebody is crazy anyway, nowhere near OEM fitment

 

here's some pics of a S14 I did way back. On later cars I just cut a notch out the back side of the crash bar and plated in behind it.


On this one I cut out the entire center portion and welded in angle iron.




I kept the bumper cover bracket to help stiffen everything up.




Finished product with the factory SE lower lip


I ran the cold pipe up along the reciever drier for the AC. This car has a fullsize battery and working AC something the owner wanted.






You can see where the 2 studs for the bumper cover brace attach to the bumper cover




tight fit through here.

 

Check the lower oil pan. During shipping alot of times it gets dented up and crushes the oil pickup. Pretty common problem, alot of people replace the lower oil pan for GP.

 

Thanks for the pics matt, i don't have any welding skills or have someone to weld for me. So im going to try and cut into the metal and make something work. Would you know if there is a place that i can get that oil pan so i don't have to order one?

 

On the oil pan JE Import Performance or MA Motorsports might have one. They may even stock the Greddy lower pan which is a nice upgrade.

 

The $80 dollar stock one will be sufficient enough lol

 

They have ebay knockoffs but the quality sucks. The stock one is fine. If it's dented you can alway just knock the dents out. I saw you live in Eldersburg ,I used to live in Westminster and now live in Hanover PA. If you need any help with anything let me know.

 

Cool man i might have to hit you up. Im just in the stages of getting everything running properly.
Searching for vaccum leaks that kind of thing.

 

did you make a adaptor for the rear heater hoses? I know that was one of the things my friend had to make on his redtop to S14 swap. He also got the consult plug wired in and working which was nice. I'll PM you my number if you need any help.

 

I bought heater hoses for that problem. didnt want to deal with that headache lol

 

yeh buddy.

throw up some more progress pics.

after i LS mine, i think i want to rb25 the other one

 

Ok they will be up shortly. Im picking up a torch and welding stuff. So pics of fire will follow.

 

I miss my s13
240's are so much fun to drive... What're your plans for this?

my old one:

 

she is puurrttyy! plan is to make it mostly for drifting. but also want to be able to drive it around and make it functional.

 

Fire extinguisher.....................you should buy the biggest one you can find

 

a little update on the project. I got it tagged and titled today, I have been driving it all day without any problems, except for the minor things i still want to fix like fenders, hood, etc.

just need to get my blinker fixed, tach fix, speed tach fix. etc...anyone good with electrical. i hate dealing with it and dont intend on fooling around with it. Will pay for labor.

 

had same issues with my s13.. brian & ray at MA Motorsports fixed everything up...
