So my 4x40sx is driving again. New Thermostat hasn't opened yet tho, might take it out to test it if the car overheats again.
that fuckin thing has been overheating for months now
do a fuckin 5 stage coolant flush

That was your cream colored 240 at Import alliance?
Anyone here bought Vis Racing products? Are they good? Also what do you guys do for weight reduction?

>>14693492
I think they're tacky. Reminds me of the early 2000s trend on chrome rice lights. I'll stick to kouki tails with the dark center garnish
>>14693492
Type-x tail lights are the only decent ones
>>14693492
Fkn told you m8. They look okay on certain cars but type x is best x.
Picked up my clutch, gonna do the box and clutch next weekend.

God that cream color is ugly.
And now that faggot TJCunt wants to get a 240 when he already has a supercharged 86. Plus thatdudeinblue who has no fucking clue how to work on a car that he doesn't think to disengage the ebrake. I'm glad I don't have a 240 anymore so I'm not associated with these idiots and their cocksucking followers.
I feel sorry for you genuine 240 owners who have seen stance and drift turn a good car into the next Civic.

Deadmonton fag reporting in
Went for a shakedown after installing the new fan clutch. Seems promising.
Now I have to go for a nice long drive to see if it's really solved the overheating problem.
Ok ive heard both sides of the electric fan vs stock fan debate and im still unsure of what to go with. gktech clutch fan looks promising, has anyone used it? pic unrelated
http://easttexas.craigslist.org/cto/5503636549.html
I feel like I'd regret letting this slip by. Looks relatively unmolested and the price is fair. What do
>>14697510
>http://easttexas.craigslist.org/cto/5503636549.html
hm it certainly isn't a bad deal, thats probably exactly what the car is worth Honestly. only really see automatic's for that price, and condition in florida. you can def find a manual s13 for that price without looking to hard though, s13 probably is going to be in worse conditin just cause older though.

>that one silvia headlight
post more pics
>>14697449
I run twin thermos, never had any cooling problems with 240kw and a top mount that is bad for heat soak (started melting the paint on my bonnet). If you can run a clutch fan you shouldn't have any dramas though.
Gktech fans break easy, have seen 3 that have the blades snapped off of them. I used to like them but after seeing their hubcentric spacers shear off the centre bore alignment and their fucked out camber arms bent and twisted I've lost faith in them.
Heaps of guys here switch to thermos because of the high CFM's and it's easier than finding a good clutch fan.
>>14697449
doesn't a chick own that coupe?

the most hilarious thing was this orange s12 that had some wierd bouncy rear suspension setup and lost a rear tire
>>14697449
you had a hard enough time putting a thermostat in the right way. what makes you think you can wire up e-fans?

Sounds like they probably cut their springs since they couldnt find any aftermarket way to lower it

Whats everyone's favorite wheel specs on s chassis? Im picking up some 18x8.5s and some coils next week hopefully, love me some 18s on a 240.
pic is my shitbox
>>14700250
Well I'm pissed at myself. I knew it would sell today and that I should've went to look at it earlier and not put it off until tomorrow but I was too fucking late. The one time my gut instinct was right too.
>>14701376
A couple of s15's in here. Rarely post tho.
>>14701383
18's are gonna look huge on that thing. Need some aero to pull off 18's without looking silly. Offset is key. 17×9+20 on the front with a slight roll and on the rear I've seen people fit 10" +20ish with less than 1 degree of camber. Anything wider than 9's on the front and it'll be a struggle without low offsets or tubs.
>>14701289
>also it does look arguably good on a rps13
just bought a really clean auto ps13 silvia (has SR20DE) for 2k aud. seem to have negated drift tax completely. feelsgooman.jpeg. anyone think my purchase was shit
>>14701383
no nigger, get 15 inch ssr mesh and a kaminari lip if you can find one for maximum 90s
>>14702619
Love me an auto N/A! They're the best way to find an original S13.
2k is a great price, too. Did you talk them down at all?
How many owners? Got any Pics?
>>14702619
Not sure how you avoided p plate tax and drift tax but you dun good anon. Unless it's fucked.
>>14701289
how did fitting the type x bumper go? did you need any extra brackets or anything like that?
>>14703900
I already had a Type-X bumper under my sharknose to fit the frount mount intercooler, so it pretty much hooked right up to that, then I bent the stock fender brackets to hold both the fender & bumper, along with zipties so the corners wouldn't flop about.
Only thing I really need to get now to make everything go together is the fender extensions which are cosmetics.
SHIT DUDE DID I FINALLY FIND IT?

It looks straight, I planned to swap in an LSD anyway.
>>14705252

but lets not worry about the ebay tier list of parts, the fact it has the wrong radiator, the huge rust spot where the battery was and the list of pretty large issues with it

I have never seen that before.
Its even more weird then seeing a sr20 in a ae86.

>>14705439
Does it have the 4-port intake? Jealous if so.
>>14707158
I love that two tone
>>14707168
Thank you!
It does need more work: I must not have let the filler cure long enough so bubbles have come back. (Although it's not as bad as it was.)
I'm torn between keeping the two-tone and respraying it in its original colour.
We electric fans now
>>14707557
altima fans?
>>14707557
fans would be the least of my worries if i owned that car

That's because you have no fans faggot

i have the stock clutch fan because it works perfectly fine.
not my problem that car looks like garbage.

Noice, some of that track looks super dark, should get HID's.
At 1.20 onwards you could have linked those 3 turns with a bit more throttle, cool af vid hombre, is that your car in the pic or a different red one?
>>14709376
Overfender and keep xr's? It'll look shit sitting on any sub $700 wheels and you get like fuck all back on tyres when you sell them with rims.
>>14707557
Have you tried getting the dent out? You can use a heat gun/hair dryer to ensure the paint doesnt crack and push it from the inside.

Awesome for a second ever track day, your counter steering looked pretty decent, red 240's are my favourite color so you're halfway there ;)
Just keep doing it and having fun, the skills come with time, you look like a good driver.

Get on the handbrake moar

doesnt work too good, tried tightening it, then new handbrake drum shoes - still nothing when i yank it hard at 100kmp/h. gonna get a hydro soon
>>14709734
only gonna get an auto supra or a na manual for that price
>>14709743
That should be numver 1 on to do list, would also reccomend project mu pads as opposed to oem if thats what ya got.
>>14709758

screw that. if the cheapest available pads dont grab then nothing will.

>>14709767
I meant in conjunction with the planned hydro.
Not sure how much difference there would be between a hydro and a correctly set up cable with both running stock pads.
Ive always changed to aftermarket with hydro but i imagine the difference would be negligible.
>>14709968
Running well set up stock cable stock pads compared to hydro stock pads that is...
>>14709795
It looks that way, always thought the ae86 would be but seems like yanks are paying ~40k for supras so in typical straya fashion id expect the same to apply here in a few years.
I got an exhaust smoke issue with my sr. It smokes only when idling and before it warms up. Like when I start it up in the morning drive for a 5 minutes then stop at a red light it will start churning out smoke after sitting there for a while. It doesn't do this when fully warmed up. Any ideas /o/?

>>14705439

>>14709359
just sounds like a 4 cylinder to me, maybe a shitty exhaust.
>>14711767
i literally have no handbrake currently coz my cable is fucked or something, may aswell upgrade instead of fixing the old one. Plus weight transfer and clutch kick only works for some corners on that track, i need a way to scrub speed when entering at speed.

Hey guys, do you think this would be a good trade for my Porsche or BMW?
https://hattiesburg.craigslist.org/cto/5463703888.html
>>14713634
bit more detail lol? your 911 GT3, or your BMW M1?
>>14710177
Rings or valves. If you have been revving it hard I'd say do a leak down test to check you haven't destroyed the valves. Otherwise just compression test or could even be oil seals gone in your turbo. Pull off a section of cooler piping before your intercooler and if there is lots of oil then thats your problem. Even check the intake on yo turbro for oil in the front housing. Also maybe try runnning a catch can, even if it's home made into a coke bottle just to see how much oil it's breathing.
>>14713634
This dude just sounds like he wants to swap for shit worth more than what he would get selling his car. I never like the idea of swaps, if I wanted a different car I'd just sell mine.
>>14714148
Does anybody make a hinge/spacer for fuel caps to sit flush with overfenders?
>>14693160
Jax bro what's up.
>>14714501
I've seen them sat flush before. I kind of like it sat in there. People go to alot of effort to hide the pop rivets and get the fuel flap looking right but I prefer the look of the rivets and sunken fuel flaps. To each their own.
Found this picture on google. My guess is you just space them out with washers and a longer bolt.. I'm sure you could get some sort of sleeve for the bolts aswell if you didn't want a pile of washers sat there.
>>14714501
I don't have many pictures of how my fuel flap/over fenders sit. This is probably the best I've got..
Doing the gear box this week, sick of it sitting their doing nothing. If this 20 box blows I'm going to have to go a 25 box or maybe a Z32 TT box if I can find one.
>>14714501
>>14714769
my overs came with a notched extension that I didn't bother using since it looked even goofier then the indented fuel cap

no one pays over 9k for a 180 unless its super ultra mega clean and modified to shit
the only s15s that go for 12k or more are mint condition spec r's
9k for a mx5.. fucking lol
>>14714852
Lel where are you from? 14k for a chaser is probably about ball park average if you factor in auto and manual. Manual would be about 16k and auto about 10-12k
180sx would be about 4-7k for an average one, for a hectic 180 or type x you'd be up around 12k
Nobody pays good money for mx-5's because they are faggotmobiles
R34's go for 10-15k unless it's crazy
>>14714874
I've seen a mint s15 go for 18k. Depends on colour alot aswell as kms for S15's as they are at an awkward age between old and new in the the japanese sports car era's.
>>14714852
Kek, remind me to contact you when I wanna sell.
>>14714979
yeah an s15 in the right colour, with the right amount of km's on it, being looked at by the right buyer will fetch a tall price. same goes for any in demand car though
>>14714874
Its crazy how Autech s15's go for more than turbo Spec R's
>>14714754
Yeah I like it but the sunken fuel cap makes the overfenders obvious and therefore your wheel track most likely wider which cops love to defect for here in aus.
>>14714814
>>14714769
I prefer the sunken look too.
How'd you manage to get your tripcode to say wicked you dirty wizard? Obviously you can't tell me but was it luck or trial and error?

Plz dont do it
>>14716666
i cant find anything about someone trying it with s13s, and i'm not about to go buy a pos coupe s14 just to kit it. love the look of the mini muscle car though, i think it would look great on a hatch. but like i said, no pics or discussion about it online.
>>14716680
yes pls
>>14716648
>>14716680
The quads speak for themselves, the amount of headfuck youre gonna encounter getting it to fit to then realize it doesnt suit the hatch shape just isnt worth it.
