simsey Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Great progress mate, good to see it coming along. I suppose i will forgive you for crossing over to the dark side :y: ( thank f@ck the power makes up for it ) Cheers man, I don't care what anyone thinks about cross-breeding, I don't want forgiveness. I'm a huge Nissan / Datsun fan too, and the SR20 is one of the best 4 cylinders ever made. Best power for money spent. Exhaust is nearly finished, gonna be putting the mr2 seats in soon and interior can go back in.. Hydro clutch setup nearly finished, just have to cut a plate to go between the pedalbox and firewall to give it a bit of strength as the firewall tends to flex under pressure from the clutch pedal.. On a side note, for those who like boso / shakotan style cars, I just bought this beast from Japan... Can't wait to build it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simsey Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Only a month till 4 n Rotary nationals in Christchurch NZ... I'm really pushing to get her finished in time!! This means I will be sticking with factory AE70 radiator and factory diff untill after the show, as I don't have the money to get that stuff in by that time, will be running cut springs in the rear to match the height of the front, that's untill after the show of course and I can chuck in the adjustable setup with the new diff.. Everything else is pretty much done, engine, exhaust, hyraulic clutch etc etc... Still have to modify driveshaft and make a driveshaft hoop. I'm buying a set of these Sportmax 513 rims (15x8 -0p) which are going to be cheaper than making steelies! They look good and they will do untill I can afford / find some proper jap wheels. Just got tyres the other day, Nankang ns2's 195/45/15's... the guy f@$ked up and gave me one 16" tyre so gotta get that swapped up.. Just a random pic of the SR20 mounted up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simsey Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Just got tyres fitted today at Patterson Brothers Tyres, got real good service there.. Also had to get some special small wheel nuts and a special socket for them so they hooked me up with all that too. Put my park bench spec bumpers on front and rear, because I don't have a matching pair of chrome bumpers. I put the carpet in and the rear seat in.. Things to do before show day Saturday: Find steering rack clamp brackets, put it in and hook it all up to struts Fit front calipers Attatch steering colomn to steering rack Get rear shock rubbers for the diff mounts Attatch rear boot lock Get clip for left rear chrome window trim Find front left bumper indicator (housing & lens) Fit MR2 seats Put dash in That's it. Had today off work, got heaps of shit done.. Got the rest of the week off to get it all finished. Here's some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Long time no update... How's this thing going? Your car, that little red KE10 4dr, and the white KE70 wagon are my favourite three cars from Feb's show photo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
