Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

Hey sx lovers since i bought my sx the engine bay always looked like so since i got a bearing knock im redoing everything and would like the end result to be a sexy engine bay, tell me what you guys think please bare with me first time attempting all of this, but hey we all must learn some how why not on your own car

Before


Motor out

Everything striped out


Many people might disagree with what i have done but i chose to do this
removed the two air filter brackets that serve no purpose.



Used some water paper and flated the engine bay down.


After flating it down gave it a wipe with some thinners


After the spray of black duco.

Thanks man trying my best

Good to see the car getting some TLC....

Left my hands in a very neat and good condition.....then it was completely screwed up! So sad when I saw the car at the previous owner just before you bought it.....was very close at buying it back!

Good luck and I hope you bring her back looking awesome!

There is loads of pics on my build thread of this car.....spent bucket loads of cash on this car to make it everyday reliable and neat and tidy.

But what can you do, when its not yours anymore........

But you are doing a good job on making her looking awesome again.

Got some random new parts from nissan new release bearing,rear main gearbox seal,front main gearbox seal.


Sprayed all my pullys and brackets on my motor.


Everything on the motor and is complete,put old tappet cover on so i dont damage my new sprayed one.


Motor on fork lift ready to go in

Ive never had it where that specific car's ABS works properly. It locks up in a big way. ABS is also only effective for 50-60km and under. That you should be able to contol with the brake pedal alone. If you going faster than that, ABS wont do jack.....just causes your braking distance to be longer if anything!

The S13 ABS unit is old and out dated, most of them not even working properly anymore.

My 2c, chuck it........use it, dont use it.
