skitz_one Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Well a mate offered it to me and I got it on the cheap. I love it that much that I'm selling my xr6t that I bought as my first "modern reliable car" Due to unreliability and not needing another "weekend car". I then bought another one automatic with a slipping auto unregoed for $200. I've been working on it the last three weeks and I think it's turning out quite nicely. It owes me $800 all up including buying both cars as I found a lot of goodies in the shed. So far I've done, New shocks (in the shed monroes) Cut springs (ordering kings) Put a set of impul rs mesh on it that I found through my wheel piles a lot better nick then i remembered. Had to buy a new tyre to match another one. Other pair had 70% hankooks on it. Welded and modified the drivers rail to fit a pnematically adjustable 300zx z31 blue n silver seat. Reshimmed the LSD Put a garden edging front spoiler on swapped all the bolt on panels off of donour car Got the central locking all working changed out the nos teq replacement headlights off of donour. Ordered a weber adaptor for a 32/36 that was in the shed. Welded on sports muffler Things that I have planned Swap dashes install passenger seat finish hammering rear guards put my bolt on spacers on JDM t140 twin cam grill Fibreglasses next door are making me a custom fibreglass with top sheet carbon fibre ducktail Install king springs replace some bushes Put some 4" speakers in front 6's in back and put a better head unit in Pull head off of spare motor shave ʞ©$ɟ out of it and portmatch it and the manifold Buy extractors port match them Local shop charges $150 to regrind a cam Bend up a 2" exhaust. Do a gasket set on the other motor. Let me know what you think and please don't fill this full of don't bother with 2s ra ra ra. I own a 25 turboed R31 skyline, a 180b datsun with a built l18 turbo system, coilovers, 4 pots project etc and a Pontiac with a built 400ci I know it won't be a power house but I like throwing money down an endless pit. photos with chromies were when purchased, they came straight off do not judge me.

skitz_one Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 yeah no worries sounds pretty decent now with just a muffler lol, I wouldn't go twin solex man they're a prick to work on and not exactly reliable. I'd try for some mikuni solex's mikuni bought the rights and redesigned them a little. In my opinion not quite as great as twin webers but the mikuni is a fantastic set and forget side draft stay in balance awesomely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillzzy Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 yeh i was thinking twin carbs would be a pain in the ass to get tuned right but another option id go for is bike carbys from a r1. what muffler you got on it? they sound sick with just straight pipes not that loud too haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitz_one Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Webers are a prick to tune but bike carbs arent? Haha. Just a straight through 2.5" muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
