Project Sky-VIA (RB25DET + S13 Silvia)

Hey everyone, thought id make an intro thread.

I am a moderator on 240sxforums, and thought it was time to sign up for club240.

Right now my current project is a 1992 Nissan 240sx (s13)
Here is a mod list:

Exterior
- S13 Frontend
OEM Aero Front bumper
Halogen brick head lights
-OEM Aero Side skirts
- Aero Mirrors

Suspension, wheels and brakes
-Tein Flex Coilovers
-Energy suspension full flex kit
-Energy suspension solid subframe bushings
-Tanabe front power brace
-5lug conversation

-Falken RT-615 225~245/45/17

-300ZX Front/Rear brakes + ebrake system
-300ZX Master cylinder
-Hark brake bads
-Brembo blank rotors

Engine
-Nissan Skyline RB25DET (s1)
-Greddy Intake manifold
-Q45 90mm Throttle body
-Front mount intercooler
-TurboXS blow off valve
-3in Intake
-3in Downpipe
-3in HKS Carbon Ti Exhaust
-Hallman manual boost controler
-Koyo Radiator

I am sure there is more stuff but that should be enough.

Mods to come

Shave engine bay + paint (when the entire car gets painted)
And finally some interior stuff, seats, steering wheel and electronics (gauges/controls)

haha.. Yea i guess its alright.... thanks...

I honestly want to pay a little more attention to the bay when i take the motor out soon. i was always a fan of SUPER DUPER clean bays.

There are several things ill be doing to the engine bay once the motor comes out.

Powder coat parts
Smooth the intake manifold then powder coat
Shave holes
Re-paint
Re make intercooler piping
etc...etc...etc.

That will all be done when i pull the motor out, and the car goes to the body shop to get repainted, at that time i will also add the rear valences. And i might also take the wheels apart to get re polished an coated.

So much work/money.. GRRRR
