Nice :D

[ChristopherNissan200sx]

Here are just a few pics of what I want to do in the future. These are some SR20 swaps.

This is a U13 "Bluebird" SR20DET

This is an SR20 swaped in a Sentra I think, with a much bigger turbo

This is a GTiR SR20

[ErixSEL]

Wow man your a little backwards. The bottom one is the gti-r as you can tell by the ITB's
Top one is a bluebird motor.

[ChristopherNissan200sx]

My bad, top mount intercooler threw me off. GTiR motors have top mount intercoolers too, but much larger than the bluebird motor.

Some up to date pics.

Took off pinstripes.

[NathanM]

Do you ever have problems with the law because of the front plate?

What happened to those wheels?

[ChristopherNissan200sx]

No problems at all from the tag. I didn't know it could cause problems.

And those wheels were just for test fitting. Still looking at other wheels.

[jholman]

yea I would look at other wheels Im not too sure those look good....

[ChristopherNissan200sx]

Got some D2 coilovers.

I had to get a valve cover from a B13 (91-94 GA16DE) and this is it freshly painted.

I know what your thinking, why did you do that? Well....I was getting oil in one of my spark plugs. Upon further inspection, the spark plug tube seal was blown out lol. The way 95-98 GA16DE motors' valve covers is designed, you can't replaced the fricken tube seals (LAME). So the older valve covers are made a little different, and the tube seals can be swapped out. To make a long story short, no more oil in my spark plugs hehehe.

[ChristopherNissan200sx]

Well I haven't been on here in a while.

Some new things, added a front lip from a MK3 Jetta, SE-R sideskirts, and I painted my wheels gold.

Also I made my own headlight intake. Its super effective but cops don't like it unfortunately.

[jholman]

The cars looking good....I'm glad to see you back on the forum....

And the headlight intake looks good but I'm sure it's hard to drive at night...lol
