Crackpot Idea Number 52 By Fatz

[fatz]

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 really camp... so i had to do something about it buy injecting some r31 love into the s13

ill update this as it goes 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

[paulr33]

love your work

[Craved]

definately looks like its gonna be alot of fun

street driven Fatz?

love to see the list of things needed to get it engineered and running on the street

[CS_180]

fats your a crazy mofo!!!!!! still cant believe that you sold the R31

[CEF11E]

I like it... Find the biggest capacity nissan 6, then turbocharge it, then put it into the lighest chassis possible. should be a lot of fun and tail happy.

Hope the weight balance is OK.

you are a champion for inventing such a car...

[dangerous_daveo]

Wasnt some dude in NZ doing that same thing?

Either way, you are my hero, I love you. Please keep things updated. Might be handy when I sometime get the money and time to get one in the cef.

[fatz]

weight is fine

ill be taking it to the sau circuit day and thrashing it hard to get a feel for the handelling

just need to tee up some shocks

currently has kyb ones with stock springs (lol the suspension level raised with the new engine... work that shit out)

[carl h]

if you could ever get that car to hook up and go you would have a supra/bike killer on your hands...

awesome work, rb swaps into s chassis cars are loads of fun.

also check out www.lsauto.com for a drop in tach that reads the 6cyl signal or grab a r32 gauge cluster and with a touch of trimming the r32 tacho fits into the s13 cluster.

as for the front end being a touch higher after the swap you are spot on, you now have more weight behind the xmember than before so its gonna lift a bit, i noticed that too when i did my rb20 swap into my s14, works a treat and improves handling a bit.

yup cant wait for burnouts

[Beer Baron]

what a piece of shit. doesnt look like a 31 at all. still a girls car you shirt lifter.

RB30e is a sweet motor though, definatley the best thing about the car (well the bonnet scoop is pretty good too). So refined and powerfull and it just looks so sexy sitting there. hopefully it will chirp the odd second too.

go bananaman.

[fatz]

yes bannanaman caused most of my social issues

:PBJ:

[TTT]

post a photo of wifes face when she sees what you did to her car.

hahahahahaha

[Beer Baron]

banaman has been nothing but trouble for you pete. he is a bad influence no doubt about it. ever since he rode into town in his 31 wagon things have gone downhill.

[N1GTR]

Wife away for a week

Conversion estimated time one month

I can see a problem here

[PHATR32]

bah! when she gets back itll be too late, so theres no point in arguing.

[fatz]

young emma said your an idiot and i want a soarer

[Cubes]

Fatz,

Which rb30e pwr steer pump did you use?

R31 or VL?

Awesome conversion. Well done.

[fatz]

onther drama is she cant drive manual

lol

sucker

petes new track car

[Guilt-Toy]

Id donate a 4wd sump if you use it in this weapon

wow.. cant wait to see this thing go.

[Medium Dave]

Fatz, you are my hero... keep up the good work, im hanging out to see some updates on power delivery/traction/handling when its all sorted, just be sure to go to a sperm bank and save some 'genetic material, cos I think your lovely girl will probably relieve you of your balls, and I want to clone you
