Couple of pics of the build so far:




I had a big setback with this car when the mounts were wrong.. I had to completly disasemble the front end in order to remove the block, mounts then renew them in a slightly different place...

However the Main work is now over.. Today I reconnected all the electrics and tested them again, After a small earthing hitch I got round to testing all the electrics..

and today they ALL work 100%...

Just got to rebuild the whole front end now, Fit the RAD, finish the bodywork, and sort out the doors locks and solinoids, Weld up my Full 3'' exhaust system and HKS Fireball exhaust Backbox...

Oh.. Gotta get some Registration plates on the front and back also..

Check out this cleareance on the front calipers..

Said it before on the MSC, love it mate!!!

Look at that thing!!

AWESOME.

this gonna fly m8. friendly race when its done? whats youre expected power output when its complete. you set ur self a deadline or sum sort of time scale. looking mean, did you get the bonnet done locally?

more than likey done the bonnet himself, kristian is a true modder that jus works from home doing all the work himself.... im so jealous :(

love this car n hope to see it sometime like a lot of people do :D

stephen

JAXX- cheers mate, yer its all done from home..

So if you want one.. gimme a shout!! I dont charge anything near the price of a normal 'shop' to do the work..

K11SS- cheers for the shout mate! xx

yes nice one mate. so how long you think it be off road worthy. your ins will no doubt have a field day with it. unless your another one with company ins! lol

That is going to be one awesome car mate. Love the body kit! , I don’t know if you would ever be up for it again but I was wondering how much would you charge to do a sr20 conversion with all part provided?

Thanks mate benben

Given a primera as a donor car and the car for 2/3 weeks, Id charge about 2.5 grand for the car with the engine fitted with 12months MOT..

Also Depends on what upgrades you want in addition.. ? uprated brakes or some bodywork styling. etc...? would add a little more..

..depends on getting time off work.. It doesn't take that long to do the conversion its just getting the time off..

Id say ive put 2 weeks into it so far, and need another week..

The bodywork has added to most time..

INS? dont get you mate lol

ins

I think he means insurance mate.

yes insurance? how you go about that. am doing ok with adrian flux, they said they would send me a moddified insurance form out to fill in when i declare it. whats the crack with your monster then, i got a quote for the sr20det engine, and it was like around 2K and excess was like double that lol

Ive got all the parts for the turbo now and intend on fitting a turbo after the MOT so ive decided on a 3'' Stainless mandrel bent system

So save GREATLY on cost and to ensure I got the exact system I wanted Ive built one from scratch...

For your information, a full 3'' Mandrel bent system will fit over a K11 micra rear axle..

The car is lowered with 35mm Gmax springs but has next to nothing in the back... It will be being lowered a little bit more.. but if your looking at 70mm lowering etc, it might get a little bit tricky...

Still...

easy enough..




Im waiting for some more pieces of exhaust and some flanges to arrive and im set to finish the whole system, hope they arrive tomorrow so I can hear the thing now!

Hey Kristian what about the drive shafts?

What about them..

They are fitted and fine.. ( WRC Spec complete custom shafts. )

Mechanically the car is done.. its just the bodywork and exhaust.. thans loads of finishing touches!!

Whats WRC Spec mean exactly?

exhaust looks tough..the tricky part is getting it to sit in the right spot so that it doesnt hit on anything during bumps, etc..

Well considering iv got 2000cc of displacment with a turbo soon to be fitted. It had to be a full Mandrel bent 3'' system, Which I was sure I could manage to fit over the rear axle without any fouling issues ( i.e not hitting the chassis anywhere )

Despite being told otherwise..

So to save dramatically on cost I picked up the Sections pieces in stainless and went about fabricating it from sctatch..

AARON: yes thats the hard part.. hence why ive used long bolts on the hangers so help with a 'bit of adjustment' when the system is complete, if needed..

WRC spec means World Rally Championship, when you have drive shafts made you can either get them welded together or for much better strength you can have some shafts fabricated from scratch, when doing this there are varying levels of strength again.. with WRC being near the top...

obviously if your running quite a light car with a low powered engine, you dont need the strength or a drag car ..

wow.... sorry to bring a dead thread back out of the grave... but does anyone have any recent pics or atleast finished pics of this car!! looks fuckin sweet

Yeah HOLY CRAP I wanna see this thing when it's finished! Any more up to date photos?

Well..

Its been on the back burner for quite a while now.. but still being done!!

However its going to be around 400bhp.. and AWD..

OMFG SOOO jealous haha that sounds awesome mate... gota see some pics when its done ay!! how hard is the AWD conversion?? almost impossible?

cars looking amazing mate cant wait till its running its goin to be amazing

if your going 4wd i assume you wont be using the 2wd driveshafts, interested in selling them?
price?

The 2wd shafts are going into another SR20DE micra im afraid pal..

im sure Kristian wont mind me showing these???
