UK Nissan 200SX S13 with 1UZFE swap.
- Thread starter SteveDunn
- Start date
The 1UZFE EGR Delete Kit is available for sale here.
Check out this guy's project. Exhaust is similar to mine although he has a cat and baffle. A bit more subdued sounding but still excellent work. The video of him going down the street with open headers is also pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/user/brind0g
Hehe thats ME!!! I did have a few other videos up, but i took them down cause i was doing naughty things and had my number plates on...
Question for you Steve... what sort of suspension setup do you have? I just had lowered King Springs wiht KYB gas Shocks... and a thicker front sway bar... and the easiest way to describe the handling is like a boat... sorta floats when your cornering... and i dont really wanna go coilovers...
Sweet! It's nice making connections between who is on Youtube and who is on here
Excellent work Steve! Now it's time to tune it. Loved the bit of flame coming out
I'm looking at the Tein Flex for my coilover solution. I need something that has strut body adjustment as well as spring perch adjustment so I can get the car not only lowered by leveled out. It currently sits with the front a bit higher due to the lighter engine and most of the weight being towards the firewall. I've already acquired ST sway bars front and rear and just need a new bushing set for them.
I plan on picking up a single piece aluminum drive shaft and some new wheels as well. However, must of this won't happen until after the new year, probably around March/April. I would like to replace all of the wheel bearings and the ball joints but we'll see how far I get over the winter months.
BTW, what wheels are those Steve?
Thanks for the information. I'm looking for a good set of staggered and dished 17" or 18" wheels. While the car may see a small amount of competition, it is more for show/street so the slightly soft Flex should be ok, they're still stiffer than most consumer non-coilover sets and give me the adjustability I'm looking for to level the car back out. My MkIII Supra is currently weighing in at 3540lbs with 1/2 tank of fuel after the 1UZ transplant. However I haven't stripped it down as much as your Nismo.
I'd forgotten i'd posted this, even though i've been here recently looking for firing order information and other bits
My car should be finished in about 3 weeks now, everythings been bought, just waiting for the last few bits to filter through the shitty UK postal system
Last thing that was done to the car was having the manifolds made up.
Drivers side (Right hand side as it's UK) was a bitch because of the steering column.
Btw, some of the pictures are deceiving, the pipe isn't resting on the steering boot rubber. There's some clearence, honest
Pics and vids and stuff to follow in a few weeks

Thanx for the pics Steve, really appreciate it!! as i have the same problem with the stock manifold hitting the steering column... That new piping looks like it will help the 1uz breathe ALOT better than the stock ones... they are so restrictive!! Cant wait to see the finished product!!
Trying
So, it looks like it's finished (although it isn't :wack: ) for JAE.
Rads came down and worked his ass off
He started by painting the interior up nicely again.
Then finally assembeled the dashboard componentés.
Next day we dropped the engine back in, tarted it up a bit and finished bolting in the fat frick Driftworks Imola seat i'd bought.

Love your work!!! cant wait to see/hear some video.. hint hint
I'm using an ECU called VEMS. There will be alot of videos recorded once it's up and running Thankfully I have two racetracks within 20 minutes of where I live, so testing wont be a problem
I hope for my sanity that it will be up and running very soon :alcoholic:

Clean work, love the look of the car and the interior! Looking forward to videos (I think you commented on mine over on youtube about the exhaust on my 1UZ Supra the other day).
It is hitting part of the dashboard. I'll be moving on to sorting out bits like that after it fires up and runs (not long now!).
I did comment on one of your videos. I've been watching them when I lose focus or run out of "arsed-ness". The sound of the 8 screaming really gets me back on it

6pm on the 19th October 2008 is the day that the UZS13 was reborn.
Here's a little video. A teaser if you will. The car has no map on it at all at the moment, hence why it sounds a bit odd. It still has a few bits to go, but just getting it running has made me go all the way and finish this.
The clip can't convey just how fucking mentally loud it is.

Not bothering with a motorbike style dash now, the Defi display is far cooler and actually does MPH, which suprised me
Cas fabricated the bracket to hold this on. Clevar.
He also fabricated a few blanking plates.

Ah cool, hello fellow youtubers
I have Tein HE coilovers on mine. It's very, very low. The sump sits about 3 fingers from the floor - still to sort that out! What front sway bar did you use? I've not got one on at the moment.
I'm looking at the Tein Flex for my coilover solution. I need something that has strut body adjustment as well as spring perch adjustment so I can get the car not only lowered by leveled out. It currently sits with the front a bit higher due to the lighter engine and most of the weight being towards the firewall. I've already acquired ST sway bars front and rear and just need a new bushing set for them.
I plan on picking up a single piece aluminum drive shaft and some new wheels as well. However, must of this won't happen until after the new year, probably around March/April. I would like to replace all of the wheel bearings and the ball joints but we'll see how far I get over the winter months.
BTW, what wheels are those Steve?
I used to run Tein Superdrift on my old JZZ30 Soarer, they were pretty good. Bigger cars need higher springrates (at least for the drifty side that I deal with ). Had Tein Flex on an S14 before that, which was a bit soft for me, but good for road use. Man, I sound like a Tein employee!!
The wheels are SSR Professors on the front, 18x9.5 ET10, and "Garson, Deepracing" (?! Look like SSRs too...) 18x10.5 ET13 on the back
