Sourced some wilwoods & huge 250mm disks. Fitted a solid bush to eliminate steering slop. Fitted the 5 stud hubs with new bearings & the lower arms with new ball joints. Then fitted the brake set up.

I really appreciate the comments guys this has definately been a labour of love & money. I'll continue with the front end. As I knew what engine I was fitting I sourced the nissan skyline crossmember & had it blasted then I painted it. I refurbed the steering rack & fitted new poly bushes. Dropped it in the car & secured it with all new bolts & lock nuts.

So now the rear end was finished. Every bush upgraded, every part refurbished. New braided fuel & brake lines. Brand new BC coilovers.

Once I got the car home I went through it making sure it was as clean as I'd hoped. I found the radiator core support was rotten which is very common & there was rust under the battery tray again a common site. Soon I had the car fully stripped.... When I say stripped I mean stripped.

Hi all. I've had a few projects over the years including a few nissan models. 3 other s13's, 1 ps13, 3 nissan skylines. This is my latest. I bought this from an old boy in Cornwall a while back. It hadn't ran in 10 years but had been sat in his garage so was pretty rust free. I won it on an ebay auction cheaper than I was willing to bid too which was nice. These are from the day I viewed it. Unfortunately it didn't run as the fuel pump was knackered. The tank was full of stale 10 year old fuel & the whole pump cradle had corroded. This didn't matter to me though as this car was always going to have a heart transplant.

I know that feeling. Mines in winter storage while I collect parts.

I've just bought a convertible so reading your thread for ideas. Is your steering rack manual? I've read about removing the power steering pump & lines & fitting a manual rack. Where have you been sourcing parts? I'd like to replace suspension joints & bushes, brake lines etc. My chassis is luckily as clean as yours so I'm inspired to strip it & underseal everything.
