well i sold my r31 last week
so i was down a fun car
so after a few vb's a cunning plan was unleashed to the world
im a 31 man and i must say s13 are camp so i had to do something about it buy injecting some r31 love into the s13
ill update this as itgoes with helpfully tips for the little dooers out there
anyway the plan
stage one
1992 s13 sr20de auto silvia (check the miss's was away for a week so she didnt mind me floogging her car)
stage two
drop a running rb30e into the silvia and rip some burnouts
stage 3
drop a gtr head onto the old girl and some f**k off 350 hp high mount tiwns
time frame is about one month so heres hoping it all goes well
runing progresss 10/4/06
stage two
picked up a manual conversion for a s13
this one dropped in no dramas
quick rundown of the parts
r32 gts crossmember
r31 rb30e engine
rb20 sump
rb30 power steering pump
r32 gtr radiator
gtr clutch
two thermo fans
modified bonnet
basically the engine is in and running
this week we will plumb it up and add a surge tank for stage three
the engine does stick out of the bonnet a fair bit but this shouldnt be an issue when the gtr head is on
sorry only got a few picks
im hoping it rips a mean skid
stage one is complete
well stage one is complete i must say the thing is an animal!!!!!!!!!
bp ultimate and heaps of timming = great burnouts
picks of the bonnet
looks photochoped hey but she is in there
almost a factory install if you ask me
thankyou super kyle (r31 mechanic in newcastle)
this one shows how high it gets
this is why we need a bonnet scoupe
thermos on the front cause there is only an inch to the radiator
sexual chocolate
some wank in the interior (working out how the tach worked was going to be a killer

Somewhere in stage 2 you might want to add 32 GTST brakes!

21-04-06, 18:01 GMT+10#19 i quickly skimmed ur posts, but im guessin ur using the s13 radiator, seen a few rb20's in sr13's and they all end up putting a rb20 radiator in there as stocko s13 just cant handle it. Good on u for doing sumthing different and not being a sheep
