I'll post some pics once it's not covered in snow

[Edited on January 30, 2014 at 2:38 AM. Reason : 1990 s13 hatch ]

I kinda wish I had a hatch instead of a coupe

1/30/2014 5:09:54 AM

I've always wanted an s13 fastback with an s15 nose on it.

What's the likelihood of the license plate office being open today? Called yesterday and today and the number is disconnected.

1/30/2014 9:29:13 AM

Two days and no pics yet? Post em up!

1/30/2014 12:02:20 PM

the License Plate Office moved from the location next to the melting pot.
they are now on atlantic..not sure how long ago they moved
..thats still a weak excuse for not having a working number available to the public

Not bad. Looks pretty reasonable for a swapped/modified s13.

Needs a pig lip and moar low

1/30/2014 9:10:18 PM

5 lug swapped... Does it have z brakes to go with the z wheels ?

1/30/2014 9:27:16 PM

Yes

1/30/2014 9:33:49 PM

So I'm confused. Is the engine bay actually painted neon green or is that a reference picture of an SR?

Looks pretty good overall though.

1/31/2014 1:07:08 AM

always gotta watch out for previous owner's wiring

1/31/2014 6:23:51 AM

Yes. The bay is green.

The car was wired up with a wiring specialties harness so I shouldn't have any electrical issues.


It's a red top , stock turbo, tuned to 10psi

1/31/2014 8:00:57 AM

HP? weight?

1/31/2014 10:24:47 AM

^ look it up.

1/31/2014 12:16:52 PM

i dont know the weight

making 215whp (tuned by J mills)

pulls pretty hard but I think a gt28 is in my future

1/31/2014 12:32:57 PM

^^ sorry forgot i could just email J mills

1/31/2014 1:16:31 PM

is there anyone in raleigh that has experience tuning these engines?

filled the gas tank up (93) and the car is running like shit, misfiring..rough idle

1/31/2014 6:24:49 PM

what's it tuned on? SAFC? spend $10 on some NGK BKR7E (4744) copper plugs and gap to 0.030". I usually find them in stock at NAPA

IIRC my friend's S13 blacktop SR would do 15psi on stock turbo (225whp mustang dyno) and it was rich (read: safe) up top on stock ecu. Dipping into 10:1 territory

aside from that, I guess J Mills is not the guy to go to

[Edited on January 31, 2014 at 7:58 PM. Reason : ]

1/31/2014 7:56:28 PM

It is tuned using apexi safc2

When I took it for a test drive (and since I bought the car) it has been running great..a little rich but still making good power.


Yesterday I went to put some shell 93 in it and they were closed. So I went down the street and got 93 from Valero. Only put a few gallons in and it was still running great.
So last night I decide to drive to Valero and fill the tank with 93.
As soon as I left the gas station with a full tank the car started idling very rough and would misfire under light acceleration.
Could a full tank cause an overly rich condition?

2/1/2014 8:04:42 AM

nope

clean the MAFS? is it rich or lean when it breaks up at idle/light accel?

drain the tank (unplug fuel line, use catch bucket, and turn ignition on over and over) and try again with Shell

2/1/2014 10:03:52 AM

its rich

how am i supposed to pump 12 gallons of fuel using the little fuel pump..seems like it would take forever and kill the battery.


could i try siphoning? isn't there a drain plug on the 240 tank..?

i was hoping i could siphon most of it out and then drain or pump the rest out

[Edited on February 1, 2014 at 11:39 AM. Reason : drain]

2/1/2014 11:30:56 AM

Sounds like it could be a leaking o-ring on one of the injectors. Mine had similar symptoms when my o-ring was torn.

I'm actually in Raleigh today. I could maybe swing by and help out for a bit if you need.

P.S. yes to gt28/gt2560rs

2/1/2014 2:03:34 PM

Sent you a pm

2/1/2014 4:33:30 PM

put on adjustable arms/links and tucked the wiring harness
cars running smooth..pulls quite hard
pulling the diff out later this week to weld it
im so happy its finally warm again

3/10/2014 10:16:23 AM

3/10/2014 10:17:25 AM

I'm jealous!

3/10/2014 11:05:47 AM

so what was the problem?

3/11/2014 9:11:59 PM

needs more pics!

3/12/2014 7:23:56 PM

No actual problems..just needed some parts after putting on the coils
i installed adjustable control arms and links and replaced one of my front hubs which had a bad bearing. wiring harness was rubbing on the tire in the wheel well so pulled it up out of the way..still need to get the fender back on.
got an alignment yesterday and it feels really good..(felt like complete shit..somewhat scary even..right after the adjustable stuff went on )
ill post more pics soon

[Edited on March 13, 2014 at 9:49 AM. Reason : ,]

3/13/2014 9:46:46 AM

i meant what was the problem with the crappy idle and AFR?

3/13/2014 9:51:09 PM

dunno, maybe temp...maybe the fact that it has safc..bad gas, no idea really

in the current weather and with shell 93 it seems pretty happy

3/16/2014 10:29:06 AM

Thinking about buying a mig welder.
Mainly to do the diff but I'm sure it will see more use.
What minimum power would I want to look for?

3/21/2014 3:13:36 PM

Hobart handler 140 - 120V/1ph, will weld 1/4" single pass, etc. expect to be $1000 into the welder, cart, good tank ($250+) and accessories. Don't skrimp.

I nigged mine from ZX a few years go and have laughed evilly since.

3/21/2014 3:46:07 PM

I got my tank for 150 air gas had a half off sale on tanks!!

3/21/2014 5:44:28 PM

Thanks for the info dr pepper..I will check it out

I get tanks from Praxair for my glass working so hopefully I can use one of them when I need to

welded the diff
hydro e-brake is going to be installed as soon as my brake lines show up. also need to get some thinner tires...these 245s are not as easy to get loose as i would like
