coilovers installed and front brakes done. One of the rear calipers is seized or something. It would not compress no matter how tightly I turned it. I need to do some research. I might need to swap out the calipers. The fronts were leaking brake fluid when i compressed them but that might be by design. I'm not sure. I might need new calipers all around.

If ur goin' fer black as the final color, needs some pop of (bright af) color. Mirrors, headlight lid things shud be colored (edit: Rims too). The fifteen52 TARMAC is my favorite rim tbh, but the D9r's are the s**t on s-chassis.

(IMG:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Byy_FV4CQAEnLD3.jpg) Who wants to help me find parts for my car? Can anyone figure out what brand these rear valences are or where they can be purchased from? (IMG:http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h463/k1984w/Mobile%20Uploads/27B3B408-5DC4-4CE1-BC81-E88BD452FEE6.jpg) They are similar to the NISMO ones but these are much cleaner. |

This is the guy, from a simple image search on google. Maybe it's in his posts if you can't figure it out any other way.

Yeah I had already done that but he doesn't mention the brand anywhere. I'm going to do his specific aero combo. It looks great and has a good racey look that I'm going for.
Anyways, I ended up finding them here: http://www.dorkidori.com/shop/dd_parts_val...s_v3_hatch.html Sealazone Valances Origin Stream Line front bumper, Chuki sideskirts and the above Valances and I'm still torn between this diffuser above or this one (IMG:http://carshype.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/DSC2800-EDIT.jpg) |

black one is sick bro more aggressive yet still subtle I would get it without all those additional slats. I found it here where you can order it with or without them: http://www.gramsstyling.co.uk/shop-2/nissa...style-diffuser/ I like the red one above because it sits flush to my stock bumper. The one on the black car actually sticks out passed it but he added a metal "speedhole" plate to fill the gap |

FYI, I figured out the issue with the rear calipers yesterday. There wasn't anything wrong with them. You just need a special attachment to twist them in.

lol vick. Yeah, I gained weight because my girlfriend didn't like how skinny I was. I succeeded in getting a 6 pack tho which was my whole point for getting skinny so I was okay with it. lol
What is your fav color for these Josh? Flat black? Or the gray that I posted? You still like those wheels huh. lol. Put them on everything. I'm thinking I would like something similar to work meisters or those 5 spoke nismo wheel. a chunky 5 spoke. |

Hey guys, just wanted to update this. Sorry I've been MIA for awhile. I lost my job at the end of December and only just recently (this week) started a new one. So I was tight on money for awhile there and stopped working on this.
During that time, it started leaking brake fluid. Thank god this car has a light specifically for when the brake fluid is low, otherwise I wouldn't have known until it ran out! So I haven't been driving it for awhile either. I see a lot of stains under the master cylinder so it might be leaking from there or possibly my caliper(s). I was going to start with replacing the master cylinder anyways since I think it might be the original one and the pressure it puts out has always felt low. I'll probably order that in a few weeks. |

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. |
