Some of you may know, I picked up an S13 a few weeks ago as a project. I still don't have a decent daily but... you know... priorities. lol
91 240SX Base. Came with a few simple mechanical mods in addition to some ricey interior bits: welded on muffler AEM intake Kazera wheels I got it mainly because it was almost completely rust free, low miles, ran well and wasn't modded to oblivion. (IMG:http://i65.tinypic.com/2cyk55z.jpg) (IMG:http://i68.tinypic.com/znx0rr.jpg) (IMG:http://i68.tinypic.com/34dsi20.jpg) (IMG:http://i63.tinypic.com/28kppux.jpg) I have since replaced the old and mismatched spark plugs with NGK Iridiums (IMG:http://i63.tinypic.com/10oo7yq.jpg) (IMG:http://i64.tinypic.com/2cpcoxf.jpg) Replaced the 25 year old fuel filter with a new K&N one (IMG:http://i64.tinypic.com/24w7up1.jpg) (IMG:http://i66.tinypic.com/ftomk0.jpg) (IMG:http://i63.tinypic.com/5lyo2w.jpg) I've also reset the ECU since it was throwing a CEL for no reason (hasn't come back) and replaced some burnt out fuses for various unimportant bits and got new wipers! Right now its in the shop getting the AC repaired since everything related to the AC was not working... its expensive but will be worth it because Florida is HOT! I have new brake pads and rotors on the way since the current brakes feel very heavy and make a bit of noise/pulse when you slow down. Hawk HPS and EBC Rotors. Got in some of the pads today. (IMG:http://i68.tinypic.com/2dtdmr4.jpg) I also ordered a new shift knob since the cheap ricey one (has markings for a 6 speed on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) that the P/O had on it literally came unglued in the Florida heat. I ordered a TWM Phantom. Expensive, but I've heard good things. My goal is to get this thing in tip-top shape and then start modding it from there. Or mod it as I replace things that need to be replacing anyways. End goal is to boost the KA and when/if I blow it, decide if I want to swap anything else. Next item on the list once I finish with everything I've ordered is to replace the power steering and water pump belt and order some coil-overs and get an alignment. I'm looking at BC Racing BR with the Swift spring upgrade. I'll probably order them soon. I'll probably keep this fairly updated as I don't think I'll keep a build thread open anywhere else. I don't think anyone cares to see another S-chassis build. lol |

A small victory today. Seems like a huge battle though after all the effort I went through... Two brake master cylinders (first replacement one was also leaking so I had to do everything over again) and a few stripped fittings later... the 240 can finally be driven without running out of brake fluid!
The bad news... both rear caliper bleeders and two of the brake lines on the MC are stripped now. lol. Everything was just so stuck on that I had no choice. Needed to use locking pliers on the brake lines and I just gave up on the rear caliper bleeders and bled from the brake line instead. The pedal has a little bit of play because of that but its not a huge deal. The next time something like this happens, I think I'm just going to redo the whole braking system. New lines with new fittings, new calipers and maybe even a new brake booster for the hell of it. It just sucks because honestly I think the stock braking system with good quality pads and rotors is sufficient. It can lock up just fine as I'm sure you all have witnessed a stock S13 drifting. So in a way, it seems like a waste of money and time... but considering everything is 25 years old and I had such a hard time even just bleeding the brakes from how seized everything is... its probably time. Anyways, hopefully some more exciting stuff will be coming in the pipeline. I'm back to trying to find new wheels as the next priority. |
