First look.
Your first glimpse of the new side project. And first thing is first lets get some fitment and style.
Next onto some work, re routed and made tidy some wiring then started on intercooler pipes. Decided to run the intercooler inside the engine bay with no viscous fan. Trying some different things with this project.
R33 GTR wheels looking real nice

Sweet jesus
With the wiring 95% complete i can now put the dashboard back. Wow this looks good.
Triple gauges in the cockpit dash vent. Water temperature, oil temperature and oil pressure finish with a carbon surround.
Carbon centre console looks so, so good especially with this homemade Bride gear gator. finished with a Nismo shifter.聽
Pioneer touchscreen radio with apple car play fits perfect. The radio also allows two usb cables which i ran into the Ash tray.聽

//Engine removal
The s13 is going to be painted. Most likely the whole shell will be one colour, including engine bay. Removing the engine is also going to give me a chance to clean up the metal work and also relocate a few engine accessories.

//Best combo
Could not resist red interior in a hatch, carbon details make this even better. Red and carbon are the best combo

// a good base
S13s really are made of wafer thin crappy metal.
Due to the last owner making a mess, which i can only assume he dropped and angle grinder in the bay and cut everything to bits.
It was awful. So i cut out the existing holes into squares then welded new plates in. Next i will cut new holes for the intercooler pipework using a hole saw making everything look much neater. Then finish by smoothing the engine bay.

// getting on
Started with a new battery tray as the battery was just loose in the engine bay. Made up a template out of cardboard for accurate measurements allowing the battery to fit tightly without no movement at all. Next i set about making it. I used 18 gauge sheet metal along with 4mm steel angle, then i welded them to form the tray.
Coilovers and brakes upgrade. Was not happy with the coilovers that were on the car due to not being high quality or able to lower the car very much. i swapped them out for HSD Dualshock which are a fully adjustable, gas pressured, shock. With a better range of height adjustment, camber and also shock travel preload. along with a 8k rated spring
Brake pads were upgraded from standard pads to Stop tech race pads

test fit Tuesday
car is fully prepped for paint and just waiting for a slot in the paint booth. so what better to do then test the new wheels. Only ever using a tape measure to configure wheel sizes this was the first time to see if they actually fit or i messed up with specs, but seems they are perfect.
