I have that same wheel in my s12, and i want to replace it with an s13 wheel but i cant get the hub adapter thing out.. >:(

I liked the random drag race halfway through the video.

RB25sx - SLPRApr 25, 2011, 3:19 pm · #211

You mean the foot race? Lol, that was to decide 3rd since both were out of tires.

-dan

kelso840Apr 25, 2011, 3:20 pm · #212

Haha yeah. I liked how the one dude that blew a tire in that race (lost his shoe) ended up winning.

ProlowtoneApr 25, 2011, 4:53 pm · #213

Lol I need to come out to watch one of these days. I see my friend Trevor made it out with the carbon fiber coup, even got a second place finish.

I love his car, Looks so fucking good.

kelso840 on 03:20:08 PM / 25-Apr-11Haha yeah. I liked how the one dude that blew a tire in that race (lost his shoe) ended up winning.

Pete (Dark haired guy running) has actually done one of these foot races before, after both cars in the semi final CRASHED.. Interesting track days we have here in Victoria.

RB25sx - SLPRMay 3, 2011, 12:35 am · #215

So I bought 15 x 9 centerlines, wrapped them in 205/50/15 R compound, hammered out and pulled out fenders, strapped on a MK3 supra body kit, and lowered the car..

-dan

ProlowtoneMay 3, 2011, 12:53 am · #216

What.. I need pics of that, sounds like it would be good looking

SlickS12May 3, 2011, 2:14 pm · #217

herp, derp derp. Very nice sir.

RB25sx - SLPRMay 25, 2011, 12:45 pm · #220

Car was handling very badly on monday, old dried out R compounds up front are to blame. Was very spin happy until I put a more conventional set of tires (diamond backs) up front.

Vids soon.

SlickS12 on 12:47:59 PM / 25-May-11Dude, what bumper diid you manage to fit on the back of ur car? Its lookin fresh whatever it is ha

Agreed, it seems to line up really well.

RB25sx - SLPRMay 25, 2011, 5:34 pm · #223

MK3 supra kit, the front looks mangled since I crashed it into a curb / there is very little of the original front of this car left (rebar, headlight motors, rad support)

-dan

RB25sx - SLPRMay 26, 2011, 5:42 pm · #224

Next few projects for this car:

- Move steering rack forward to reduce ackerman
- Re-mount front sway bar
- Carefully cut and welded knuckles, no roll center adjusters yet
- Rear RUCAs and Toe arms
- New oem clutch
- Lengthen driveshaft (has never been quite long enough)

RB25sx - SLPRJul 18, 2011, 2:41 am · #231

Within the first 30 seconds, there is some neat in-car footage of an 'incident' between me and a driver who spun out.

-dan

IggyEGuanaAug 6, 2011, 6:16 am · #236

daym!

what happened to the s12?

RB25sx - SLPRAug 8, 2011, 1:41 pm · #237

Pushed in the fender, cracked a tail light. I happened to have spares from a parts car - so now its all already back together. I drove the whole rest of the day like that. TWAS GOOD.

-dan

edit: Here's the footage of the crash, really quite minor damage.. the fluid on the ground came from a 1L bottle of oil I had in the trunk that got ruptured..

KustamogenAug 9, 2011, 11:11 am · #238

hahaha who was the one saying "you wrote my car off" "fuckkkkkking bitch".......................haha Im assuming the other guy?

Navy_Mech2Aug 9, 2011, 3:51 pm · #239

Gomesf1Aug 9, 2011, 8:12 pm · #240

Navy_Mech2 on 03:51:07 PM / 09-Aug-11or dont suck and spin out?? lol

exactly he trippin. "why so close dude?"

cuz ur ass sux do get in the ring with ali cuz u think you can box lol

RB25sx - SLPRAug 10, 2011, 2:12 am · #241

Everyone starts somewhere, and in this guy's case - he probably didn't have enough steering lock to recover from the spin. ALSO I did smush in his minty minty fresh corolla - he's a buddy but he lost his cool a bit and we laughed about it later.

Keep drifting fun, y'know?

David BAug 13, 2011, 4:14 am · #248

RB25sx - SLPR on 12:25:16 PM / 13-Mar-11So in addition to re-doing my 240sx rear end, I also decided to finally investigate my cooling options.. Heres what happened
Gutted and chopped out upper rad support
Cut off headlight motors and solid mounted headlights into upright position
Built custom containment cage for intercooler and rad (all mounted with ballermatic metric hardware)

Still do to:

Custom front bumper rebar to hold bumper skin/crash bar
Mount new H4 headlights
Plumb some IC pipes
New rad hoses (have the lower, need to source an upper that will fit)
Clean up some wiring

-Dan

this is sick dude. really portrays what i was trying to make instead of a V mount i might be doing something similar to mine because my 1j gets hot sideways. if you dont mind.

your s12 is looking bad ass though.

RB25sx - SLPRAug 15, 2011, 3:02 am · #249

Thanks David, since doing this upgrade I have had almost no cooling issues - and when I did it was because I have a very minor headgasket leak and was running low on coolant :S . That lower bar also acts as an excellent cow-catcher and protects your IC/rad from tires, bumpers, debris etc.

So.. Not to say I am putting the S12 on the backburner, but I picked up a neat new project for a steal of a deal.. And by that I mean it was a theft recovery, hence the missing parts.. As of today I have it running and driving, still needs seats, headlights and a trunk though.
