Project: Seductress Resurrection
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2016 8:32 pm
So iv seen a few of the guys on the forums projects and thought i would share mine with you guys.
In the beginning...
So I was around 15 when i got a Nissan 200sx s13 and started this project with my brother in law took about 2 years to save up the funds for parts etc. During that time I had the CA18 motor
The engine compartment was a total mess wires everywhere spliced into almost everything for example the fuel pump was on a switch the radiator fan was on a switch and the speedo acted as the rev counter xD and so on the problems started rolling.
Eventually got my hands on a dictator wiring diagram book got a new harness and started over got her running in about a week and took her for the 1st dyno...
she drove like a dream for a day until she over heated and blew the radiator tank a nice big fat one.
Since then decided not to wast time on the CA18 as they are known to run bearing or so I have been told and saved up for the SR20-det eventually got it after a year then started again... sort of life got busy and she sat.
Until now!!!
Finally got the balls to resurrect her and starting all over.
So far iv got the new motor and gearbox in.
wiring is in progress again
prop shaft just got back from being serviced
coil overs to come (Previouse owner cut the coils...)
Next week ill be pulling the motor again as i put it in a bit hastily and just checked the sump and opend the tapped cover feel like giving the motor a proper once over to avoid future head aches.
