17 EMMISSIONS HIGH

I thought that s13's didnt have to have this test anybody shed any light on this.

Only 2 pages was expecting much much more lol back on the road 2020 LOL

Just need to save alittle and get this done should be back on the road the end of jan start of feb.

This has got to be one of the longest car threads on this forum!!! You should get a prize lol

Paul.

emmissions is part of any mot but you may be thinking the cat test is excempt !! there may be something in that but i aint to sure ! i do know for an mr2 turbo 90 - 95 cars the cat test isnt required because there is no uk equivelent car ! so no cat test required

well after finishing work on sunday at 6pm i set off to Kent to get my wheels arrived at 1030 and got home at 330am LOL

LOving them they look better than i thought they would.

Need spacers for the fronts as they rub on the calipers and spacers on the rears as i have 50mm wider fenders but i think they suit the car really well.




















Cage should arrived this month aswell thn its all the work for the mot and have the white bits sprayed.

Have the chance of a good solid grey pre-facelift (no cat test) shel onlyl needs engine box and fuel tank which i have of course lol i am skint but the lad said i can pay the £300 round aug just woundering what i should do???

I am off to look at it 2mora.

I need alot of welding for mine roughly £400.

but i am not to sure what to do i'd get the engine/box/tank in which i have been offered help with and get it mot'd and swap the bits over slowly while keeping it on the road does this seem like a good plan or should i just save and wait????

if you have the chance of a really good clean rust free shell then get it ! 10x better than one already welded up somewhere. and this way it means more epic build pics from yourself

Well looked at the shell it does need alittle welding but not alot.

Just waiting for my mate to double check under the car to make sure its solid and if the price is right i'll be taking it












And as i am a big child i made my motor on forza pitty you cant get a sil80 in the game but its close lol

Can you make your own motors on Forza3 then fella? Would love to make the ATR and see how realistic the drive feels

yeah matey you can


well after mucho thinking and alittle help from friends i am re-shelling the 200

The rust really is that bad stevie wounder mot'd this car when i bought it there is just no way the last mot wasnt a favour as the patches/hole are huge lol

Anyways i wanted to keep it and fight on and not let another 200 go to the big scrap yard in the sky but in the end common sense got the better of me and its all going in another shell

The plan is put the engine box and fuel tank in the new shell and mot it then swap the rest over afterwards this way i wont be off the road and can do it alittle at a time

the new shell looks like this needs a sill small patch in the bay and alittle on the crossmember welding and thats it and i got it thanks to a friend for a bargain mates rate price.

Without the black wheels

Pre facelift so no fighting the mot gimp over the cat lol

And its grey like my face lift so not loads of spraying









Nice and clean no rust on any of the arches stripped inside and ready for my engine and box

So the stripping begins







Must admit the wife wasnt happy to come home from shopping to find a carbon bonnet and boot in the spare room and the rest of the body parts in the hall lol

I'll swap it back over to a sil80 front end later in the year just want some skid time for now.

well got the avcr/turbo timer cage passenger door seats harness and acouple of other bits which is now in a huge pile in the middle bedroom and make the wife very happy lol have some interest in the engine aswell

Well been busy today on the new shell

Started like this





Good for some off roading

Put the 300zx setup on the rears



Then put my coilovers on and the rims sits nice there isnt a engine in it yet so the fronts still alittle high.

Also put the 300zx calipers on the front need disks for it though and put the 25mm spacers on the front as i have 20mm Chargespeed vented front wings to go on and 50mm wider rear fenders.



















SR20 will be going in here verysoon





The inside needs abit of attention LOL



Subframe and pertol tank will be on monday then its ready for the front brake lines to be sorted and engine in

Fingers crossed it wont be to long.

Managed to get the sunframe on today before it lashed down



Also got the petrol tank on which was a arse of a job and started plumbing in the hydro need to replace one of the rear brake lines and make the fronts up then i'll bleed the system.

SR20 should be out of the 14 soon so fingers crossed it will be in the 13.

The little bit of welding should be getting done this week and have managed to get myself a welded diff and some spare standard skid rims.

Jobs still to do

Cage
engine and running gear
mot
front fenders on an rears
