so, i picked this coupe up for $200. Rolling shell.
slight damage. po had bent the head light thing back to fit the twisted front core support on drivers side.
pic of car in po's drive way
me and the car like minutes after i got it in the drive way
back of it
that drivers side damage
taken a few nights after i got the car. PO had to since the car was like mid project, and he didnt have the bushings and s**t for the bracket.
another shot of it in po's drive way, and his S14 behind it.
everything but the hood is bolted on.
Posted by: Unox. Aug 11 2013, 05:43 AM
$200 for the shell.
$10k for the rest of the build.
good luck...

it'll get there. thanks lol.

RB25 FTW
cool car bro. but I would have spent a little more and buy a car WITH an engine and complete front end lol.

yo dawg make it missle
Posted by: DriftMilitia Aug 11 2013, 07:53 AM
its basically going to be a missile/dd. its going to street legal when it tagged but not for much longer after wards. no rb25 for me, to much $$$. going SR.

Posted by: Nick47 Aug 11 2013, 08:18 AM
yeah i think it would've been a wiser move if you spent a little more on something that actually has an engine.
but, if you manage to repair the damage and find a decent engine to put in, it might end up decent.

get an FJ20
Posted by: DriftMilitia Aug 11 2013, 08:54 AM
we literally had $500 to spend. Nothing had an engine. One had no front core support. this is best we could get, period in Oklahoma. We dont have s**t for d**k.

Nice buy 
i do get the idea of buying a car with no engine
Posted by: DriftMilitia Aug 11 2013, 11:23 AM
not old enough. Just getting a chassis before they are all extinct here in about 2-3 years. At the rate Oklahoma is going with drifting, "drift tax" is going to shoot from $3500 for a 240 to about $5000. Within the course of the next 2-3 years.
There aren't 240s everywhere. I'm lucky I was able to get this for $200.
i do get the idea of buying a car with no engine At least someone gets why i wanted a shell. Don't need an engine. Roll it down a hill and rip the ebrake. I didn't buy this to drift, I bought it to be my soap box derby car.
I should have seen the mass troll brigade coming.
Posted by: Vicent M. Aug 11 2013, 12:02 PM
how you call 240 when it dont have engine
atm is a 000X
Posted by: DriftMilitia Aug 11 2013, 12:05 PM
Said it once, I'll say it again. "I should have seen the mass troll brigade coming. "
[EDIT]: Even if i use logic, it wont work, but here goes nothing: You can't register it as a 000sx, 200sx, 250sx, 260sx, it can only be registered as 240sx. This will backfire on me somehow.

I'm not even a fan of LS swaps and I'd agree with that ^^^.
Posted by: _Kevin_ Sep 2 2013, 07:06 PM
aye don't listen to andrew
LS may be a god tuning platform but not for low budget
You can find them in nearly in infiniti Q series from the 90s
they're made by nissan
they sound sexy
they have moderate to very good performance
this is a good motor for a low budget build... and daily drives perfectly
If ever got an onevia or coupe I'd swap the front end and make it a silvia or slieighty
then throw in a supercharged VH35 and go hoon
and the motor isn't so exclusive that if something breaks you're out a lot of money

Posted by: Oggy Sep 3 2013, 03:11 AM
I just don't like the RB because of the heavy iron block, and I6's in general aren't super great for weight distribution compared to V6's or even V8's because they are so long. Which is why I agree with Andrew.
Anyway the LS2 swap is gonna to be sick as hell. Not what I'd do, but it sounds mean as hell, makes crazy power, and the torque 
. My dream swap is to use an SR20 DET bottom end with a SR20VE head from a P12 Primera. I view it sort of like a 20V swap into an AE86. Its the most advanced version of the same engine, so you get the technology without compromising the character of the car. IMO. Only a dream at this point though since the P12 SR20 is still like three grand.

its a big top heavy DOHC type of engine
for the money you will spend swapping and adding bolt on to make power you can buy an ls
Posted by: J.red Sep 3 2013, 03:52 AM
The problem with a lot of LS swaps is that it often throws off the entire weight balance of the car. Power isn't the only thing that makes a car go fast, and displacement isn't the only thing that makes power. Many of the japanese cars are known for being relatively quick and nimble. An LS swap takes that away from the cars. And without a bunch more money on top of the swap and extensive chassis and suspension work, that's something you won't get back. Yes, I won't deny that you'll ultimately get more power out of the LS swapped car and maybe go faster in a straight line, but I'd much rather see a car with a mild, light 4 banger that can run the twisties like it's nobodies business, you'll have a lot more fun driving that on curvy roads than you will sitting and revving your V8 just to make that sound.
Posted by: Big Daddy Andy Sep 3 2013, 04:55 AM
most 80's and 90's wapanese 4 cylinders are cast iron while the ls is aluminium,
a 3 rotor rx7 weights more than a ls1 rx7, same with RB silvias, since RB are cast iron, people have swapped ls in miats and they still corner good
I think the ls weights as much as an h22
I f**king love that engine
Posted by: nhra1625 Sep 3 2013, 05:44 AM
I just like the sound. I'll deal with the other boring stuff later lmao
Posted by: J.red Sep 3 2013, 10:58 AM
LS motor, trans and clutch weigh in at around 525-600 lbs. The H22, which is honda's heaviest 4 cylinder, weights in at 390 lbs. for motor, trans and clutch. B series and K series are arounf 350 lbs. And that weight for the LS doesn't include the added subframe work to support the motor and trans as well as the added weight of the rear diff and axel.
SR20DET has been weighed around 450-500 lbs.
Posted by: Big Daddy Andy Sep 3 2013, 05:14 PM
ls are not 600 lbs
they are like 450 lbs and it depens on what transmission you use
http://www.chevroletperformance.com/_res/pdf/CrateEngineQRC2010.pdf
check the second tab
h22 is 480 lbs
http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/1306_honda_engine_drivetrain_weights/
Posted by: Brand0n Sep 3 2013, 11:19 PM
YES.
Yes, this is my point of view as well. Plus, I'm lame and like the idea of building the engine a car came with, but all these rx7 duders with v8's throw off that factory 50/50 balance, then what's the point
Posted by: J.red Sep 4 2013, 01:42 AM
That chart for GM engines is dry long block only. That does not include clutch, flywheel or trans. Once you factor those in, it is easily 550-600 lbs. And like I said, that weight for the LS engine doesn't even include driveshaft, rear end, axels, and additional chassis work.
And I have a friend that runs a shop and he just weighed a complete dry H22A and B18C this past week. The H22 came out to 380 lbs dry. The B18 cam out to 350 lbs dry. And I know other people that have produced similar numbers for these engines as well. The honda tuning article also includes the hear and axels. So if you want to include BOTH headers and the entire driveline of the LS engine, then that's a fair comparison. Not just to the dry long block.
Posted by: DriftMilitia Sep 6 2013, 02:38 AM
Thread has been sitting for so long. So, I acquire the ability to be able to throw this car together and apart like lego blocks. huh. Anyways, going to go mark down the wiring. Going track dedicated missile. Interior is fully stripped, no seat belt anything. might put the dash back in. As for the suspension, going cheap and rolling with like full isis minus some things. Going with a S13 SR blacktop. Going to get rocker stoppers so the hydraulic lifters don't f**k everything up and cause camshaft flutter. Welded diff, too. Going to be trailer'ed, nothing going to be street legal about it. Probably going to zip tie a FD brake light to the trunk (led bar). Either tape up or weld metal on the tail light opening so nothing can f**k with it. Probably going to simply tape it. Going to like take the halogen bulb out of the pop up head lights and replace it with like some xenon 8000k bulb or whatever the f**k those are. not going to hook up the motor to the pop up lights, they're always going to be either sleepy or open.

Posted by: DriftMilitia Sep 10 2013, 08:19 PM
It's not going to be daily'd any time soon. When I have enough money to bring it up to legal specifications, maybe. As of right now and probably for the next few years it is going to be track dedicated so I can learn to drive it before the general public has to deal with my bulls**t. Interior is stripped and all ready to go for my bridge racing seats im hopefully getting in the future. Build is going pretty slow due to no immediate budget on hand.
[EDIT:] And It is a good enough excuse for me to daily this admit table piece of s**t. I don't care, it'll drift and if it can drift and get me point a to point b win-win.
Posted by: J.red Sep 10 2013, 09:44 PM
Track officials usually prefer that you learn to drive before you hit the track.
Posted by: nhra1625 Sep 10 2013, 11:02 PM
it will be cheaper to find a running, drivable car before you even think of building this...

Oh my goddddd. Literally car shopping has made me hate drifters. It's gotten to the point where if I so much as read 'welded diff' in a ad I just close it.
So sad to see this generation buying cars they can barley afford then proceeding to destroy them.
EDIT: Just to put this in the context of this thread, DM I think it's cool you bought an S13, I like this because you bought a shell and are making it back into a functioning vehicle. Please at least try to make it presentable before DD'ing it; beat to s**t cars don't say too many good things about the owner IMO. I mean, they are fine for the track, but why DD them? So many bargain basement deals for boring DD's on craigs that at least are one color and aren't dented in every panel.

like, just for what you will pay for the complete motor swap i can have this, with new tires.
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/4060332127.html
or i can spend a little more and get something like this and still have a more complete car than you will for the same price.
http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/3938370351.html
basically what im saying is that to even get that thing ready to roll out the drive way you are looking at 3-4k just in basic parts. then theres the 1000+ hours of labor and then all the extra unexpected s**t that will come up like needing bolts, or even piping, or worse...finding out you cracked a mount or something like that. personally, unless you are building this as a strict track car then i wouldnt bother just due to the cost of it.
Posted by: Brand0n Sep 13 2013, 09:41 AM

Posted by: DriftMilitia Oct 10 2013, 09:55 PM
Going through here, contemplating the thoughts of what to do with this f**king thing after ripping it apart and putting it together time and time again just to get good at it; f**k making it street legal. My plan is: Strip interior stripped, build driftcar, and drift it. Never Not right now will it ever be street legal. I'm going to buy a 240sx with rb/sr already in it (f**k that built not bought s**t) and just daily it. For the occasion it has a welded diff, It's going VLSD because it will be primarily built for going in a straight line (MURICA!) and generally trolling the meat head kids and thier 'stangs and camaros. 240 I'm looking at now has forged internals (receipts for proof) and like a FMIC kit, all kinds of goodies. Basically a built bottom end, I'll just build the head cylinder and s**t myself, put a decently large turbine on it and nistune that f**ker 'til i'm going ricky bobby fast. For the 1989 240SX, well, I kind of want the Nissan name to move on good so when getting a new driftslut/or something I'm literally going to find/fabricate/etc all the OEM parts and restore it to full factory, even put a factory SR20DET in it, VLSD, s**t like that, and either drive that to car shows in like 60 years when it is considered classic and that's that, if it keep it to restore it and enjoy or restore it for some 16 year old f**ktard to tear down and destroy after i, well, build it again. But that's what's going on now. Nothing coming in, f**k it. If I get that SR 240 before this one, I'm drifting/dailying it. Meaning I drive it on the streets, drift it at the track, all that brokelife s**t. Since I have $10,000 Sorry for being so retarded as to forget to say I get the $10,000 when I'm 18. I am currently 16 as of the 16th of this month. being spoon fed to me by insurance due to a crash I was in, and broke my right arm, I'm most likely building this broken 1989 S13 with it. Thanks for input, this thread will be put on stand by for like 2 or 3 more years until i get something done.
I like Stewy Bryant's R32. To bad it is all defected and s**t.
Posted by: Kyusha Oct 11 2013, 12:12 AM
Damn, how retarded do you get? You got into a crash and broke an arm AND you're making a drift car to be fast in a straight line only? What's next, wasting money on another car? Oh wait... you did.

^exactly this
Jesus Christ dm you're a d**khead
Posted by: Oggy Oct 13 2013, 02:04 AM
lol'd
Alright lets look at the facts here. You have a stripped/formerly wreaked s13 shell, and have suddenly come into $10k.
Literally no reason to f**k with that shell anymore. Sell it to another kid with sideways dreams and buy an SR or RB swapped s13 for $5-7k. Spend your remaining dough on making that it not suck.
If you actually have the funds you say you do (questionable) there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get yourself something nice in a reasonable time frame. Sounds like you just going crazy thinking about all the different things you can do with your money, but honestly it will NEVER last as long as you think it will. Keep it simple, keep your plans well under budget, and you will end up happy. (With something functional)
Posted by: Hellrazr Oct 13 2013, 04:13 AM
Drift s**t is so overrated!!! Learn to drive then figure where you really see yourself down the road, man if you put a s**t load of money into car and then destroy it the next day what was the point in spending that much in the first place. Just to watch it go to a junkyard and risk hurting yourself in the process. You got to take baby steps before you can walk or youll learn the hard way and lose a lot and not gain much except a hurting wallet. I get you got dreams and so forth but you need to plan things out.

Get a simple daily like a CRX or something thats a little fun, keep the silvia and get a decent job and f**king build up a solid car. Don't be a d**k and ruin another silvia, grow up and aspire to build a sick car, like most people do, missiles are for cars that have had a good life and are on there last legs, yours has a lot of potential
Posted by: DriftMilitia Oct 24 2013, 02:59 AM
Um, frame damage and such. Rust out of the ass in the trunk - it's ready to cave in and probably will need to be tubed. the front core support is bent and such and that has already been addressed. Sure, this car has potential, but it is on the verge of it's last legs. By the time I get to doing stuff, It will be on it's last legs.
"Damn, how retarded do you get? You got into a crash and broke an arm AND you're making a drift car to be fast in a straight line only? What's next, wasting money on another car? Oh wait... you did."
Sorry for the ghetto quote. Anyways, yeah, I'm going to buy a 240 to learn to drive before I get into building this one. Then once i get this one going, I'm going to ease off of the said 240 I'm going to buy. It will get to the point that the coupe will be street presentable and daily ready - so I wont need to drift the bought 240 anymore. Also, haven't wasted money on another car, don't have the money yet. I am going to get it when I'm 18.

I'm going to conceive the "wow you got 10k and you got a shell" comments because either they're contextually retarded or trolling, since I fixed the posts regarding the 10k I don't get until I'm 18. Anyways, with the way this thread is going, I'm just going to put a ka24de in it, some big body kit from a low end source, give it a nice fast and the furious paint job, open diff for ricer skids, and walmart hubcap spinners. Bringing my project to this forum was a mistake, you guys only know pixel cars. I'm finishing my last R32 and away I go. Seems I've worn out my welcome. I fail to see how getting a shell for a project because I like cars and then getting a functional car to learn to drive in is retarded. It seems perfectly logical. I've always wanted to build an S13 from the ground up. So I went out and got a shell to make that possible. Now I need to learn to drive. So now I'm going to get an s13/s14 preferably with a sr20 to drive in.I'm going to drift/daily/whatever the bought 240 with the preferable sr20 or maybe even ka24 until this s13 coupe is built. Then the bought 240 becomes a reliable daily, which means no more welded diff in it, and i'm going to vlsd it and build it to go fast, instead of sideways, because it wont be a sideways car, it will be a daily, and my dailys dont need to go sideways. I tried to endure the ultimate troll that is PCA but jesus christ, you guys can't grasp context to properly troll, you can't back me into an argument I can't factually win, you just nit pick and then take something completely out of context. The only people I think are cool are jovi and a few others for the sole fact they dont blow up when a kid with dreams enters the forum. But hey, oh well. Plenty better forums than this one.
TL;DR DriftMilitia is a piece of s**t, as everyone demonstrated in this thread already piling their nonconstructive criticism.

it kinda was constructive. I personally would have bought the shell AFTER I get my license. course you should do what you want. only thing people are giving here are opinions. no need to take them serious, but if you want, be my guest.
EDIT: and yes, there are some trolls in here, but they were all TRYING to be funny, not trying to bully you. but of course the only one who can Judge the difference between joking and bullying is yourself. so you should just say so if you feel bullied, like you just did. no reason to go away because of a thread.

If you actually read the rest of this bash DM thread, only like 18% of it at best is constructive. Everyone else is either calling me a d**khead, retard, or telling me to put a b18 in it, or make it left wheels drive. I'm only taking them serious because now they are actually being serious. They can't understand that I want to build an s13, coupe, two tone. That's why I got this before I could drive. These people are so prejudice they don't stop to ask "why" they just insinuate. I got this coupe so early on because two tone 1989 s13 coupes are not common at all in this area. And everyone else with an 89 doesnt keep the original two tone like im going to, they spray it one solid color.
EDIT: Not being aggressive, KV, you're cool, just spilling out what this thread is and clearing up my motives to everyone who thinks I don't have a plan for any for this.

Dude novel
Most of us know more than you, lelz.
You didn't bring much of a project, just some pics of a f**king shell. If you want to have a build thread, build your f**king car. If you don't want people on your ass don't be an ignorant 16 year old trust fund bro posting pictures and claiming "oh I'm going to do this and this and that in two years" COOL

haha who are you bye
but really, shoulda waited to get a car, you don't even know how to drive lol. having something reliable and easy to use is better than a project that will take years to even be driveable. put your poserish drifting dreams on hold and think realistically lol

You know, you can build a car from the ground up with a motor in it right? Atleast unless you swap or add some modifications to it damn.

Okay, I've been pretty inactive the past month or two. But if DM is still here, this is my attempt at trying to slap some sense into him.
If all this is true, this car is not worth putting money into. frame damage is not something you want to mess with. It means that the car will be more difficult to align properly, and it would be unsafe at best in a crash. And don't try to say that you won't crash it, because that's not up to you. Stuff happens on the road that isn't always in your control. The car will never handle quite right of feel quite right going down the road.
The idea of missile cars is that they're cars that have been past their prime. They were once a nice car with a lot of money into them, but then something happened. And then the owner is forced with the decision to either give up on it, or to keep it alive after all the work/money they've put into it. It's not taking something that never really had a prime and is just a run down shell and trying to make it liveable. There's a huge difference between having a lot of money into a car and then having it slip away into a lesser state, or having a car that's already run down and trying to put money into it to make it nice again.
In the end, the way you're going at it is the long, expensive and painful way to go about it. You're going to end up spending way more money than you need. And none of it is worth it unless you're going for a full restore and plan to keep it for a while. Because you're never going to get that money back once it's gone into the car.
Don't get me wrong, it's awesome that you want to take on a project and do something. You've got spirit. But at 16, you don't really have an idea of what you're getting yourself into. You don't want to sink a bunch of money into a car that is just going to be a constant headache and that's already plagued with problems that are bound to get worse. Buy a decent car with a good body. Learn to drive it. Learn to do the basic things, to maintain it. Spend some time just really learning, because that's the most valuable thing that you can do with a car. Once you've got a good understanding of the car, then it's a good time to start putting more money into it.
You've got to learn to walk before you can run. What you're trying to do here is just skip straight to the cross country meets.

I make Jred's words my own, but I don't think that he's even reading what he says. Just look at the rest of the thread and how he reacted at people's advices....

Don't even waste your breath, if he wants to learn on his own then hes gonna learn the hard way.

And you wonder why DM didn't take anyone's words as positive when the thread is full of negativity and spam.
Thread closed. If DM wants it reopened he can pm me or anyone else on the staff.
