ovenfood Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I can see why you broke an axle........ (I love the idea of having a RB26DET - my favorite recent engine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appsy Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 It's not a rb26 it's a rb25det neo with 26 covers i know its cheating but got them for $80 and they look so good but im going to grind down the 26 on the front cover to say 25 and re spray them.

djz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 What bottom arms and ball joints are you using in the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appsy Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 nissan maxima ball joints with extended standard lower control arms but plan is to make custom control arms with rose joint fitting once the car is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autojumbled Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Great build! Any chance we can see some pictures of the lower arms that you have modified? Very interested to see how you have done the S13 knuckle swap. Have you modified the tops of the strut towers at all to put in more camber adjustment?

steffenaj14 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 any updates? i'm doing this same swap so if i have questions i will come to you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelltainer Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Nice build! Did you have to go to a rear sump for the oil pan? or did just the stock oil pan fit in? I ship out for boot in november and afterwards im looking into getting another s130 and doing pretty much everything you did to the car lol. Any pictures of during/after the build would be great!

appsy Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 I'm sill in the middle of my restoration part of my build, but I've finished the engine swap, still doing power mods, do you ever stop? I don't mind helping you guys as much as I can. I used a custom/modified origanl sump to a rear sump which I made myself and oil pick up. First thing, I cut the baffling out of the original sump then cut the sump off at the base, flipped it 180 degress then reshaped it to the same shape as the base then welded it back together. Then I modified the curve in the sump where it goes from shallow to deep to get more clearance to the cross member and made new baffling from sheet metal. I can put pictures up tomorrow, just not on my computer at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appsy Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 I still have not tested brakes or the new suspension yet or new turbo either, because I must of blew a head gasket at the last powercruise in the burnout competition holding third too long.

kelltainer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) haha dang man. i cant wait to see pictures and thanks! i cant wait to get started after BC. Yea i thought you may have done that as well, i wonder was it worth all the effort customizing the sump you had or would you buy a new one if you had to do it over?

Yes I probably would have bought a new one if I lived in the US but they are hard to get in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
