Update> S13s always break (Build update - Brad)

Hey guys,

sorry it's been awhile since i've posted on the blog. My job has been taking up a great portion of my life recently.

Anyhow with the extensive traveling of my job, i was able to squeeze a free weekend and brought my car over to my 626drift friend's shop(Garage Life). As usual with every S13, everything needs to be replaced or fixed. Ray @ West covina Nissan hooked me up with some OEM belts and my friends @ PBM hooked me up with some subframe collars to tighten up the rear end.

With the help of Garage life friends and Kristian from SP engineering, we were able to finish the belts ups in 30mins, and another hour on the subframe collars.

However to my dismay, after dropping the car back down...the thick PBM collars were sitting 2-5mms away from my kazama toe rods =( .....so i guess in due time i'll have to get some version 2 toe rods from PBM to compensate with the suspension geometry of the car...anyhow, here are some pics i snapped tonight...

Thanks Ray @ West Covina Nissan and Martin @ Part shop max


Garage Life friends


time to throw the collars in..


Boom! collars are in!


toe rods sitting millimeters away from the collars =(


Hood decoration from friends

My project is in full effect, should be done in about a month or so hopefully. These are the only pictures that will be released until the car is put back together. Stay tuned for what's to come because TF just did an overhaul on another one of their cars, mine.
