s13 200sx Turbo

[djbolf]

Well , now i've had time to take some photos i'll start my Topic for the new motor.

I've always liked these cars and always had a thing for RWD as most of you know.

I sold the polo and made a tidy profit so I set about looking for a solid s13 shell.

My search went as far as Kent and Glasgow , and eventually this example turned up in Newcastle.

Someone had reversed into the front on a supermarket car park and I got it cheap cheap.
It also had a decent LSD fitted.

The car is as follows :

Red Nissan 200sx rs13 with the ca18det engine.

Current state of tune is unknown , It has a few teething problems and judging by the mods to the engine is almost a stage 1.

Standard shell (with a little rust but nowhere near the usual amount) Solid underneath.
Lowered on adjustable shocks and springs 40mm
s14 black leather
boost gauge
shift light (doesnt work)
short shift linkage (rattles)
forge dump valve
fully adjustable actuator (Running about 12-14psi)

chipped (no paperwork to prove)
rear strut brace
4x 15" minilite style drift alloys (soon to be for sale)
2x 17" multispoke wheel mania alloys (Soon to get two more)
4 pot 300zx Brakes up front
LSD fitted (decent one , doesnt feel like a standard one)
goodridge hoses
cat back stainless full exhaust system with jap back box (HKS?)
sleepy eye kit
Momo Race Steering wheel
alloy gear knob (Pulled it off last night)
