Guys!
Do any of you currently have a proj. car as we speak? Whether it's restoration or a tuned one. Feel free to share it here! :)
Do You Have A Proj. Car?
(30 posts) (8 voices)-
Used to have a project B12 Sentra. Already had a cool air intake installed drawing air in from the fog light holder in the bumper and a 2 inch exhaust with straight through mufflers. Carb was adjusted for better performance and timing was advanced 10 degrees. Was planning on more but had to sell it :( Would like to get a B12 Sentra again and swap in a GA16DE ECCS 1st gen without the emissions gear. Then install aluminum pulleys, thermoblock spacers, racing valves and valve springs, CAI and proper headers and 2inch exhaust. Then install B13 struts so I can get progressive lowering springs installed. I'd keep it looking stock but with multi-spoke wheels and a very simple and clean body kit with duck tail.
Or I'd get an Altima with SR20DE engine :D hehe

MemberNice B12 you have before! =) An SR20DET can also fit there. As for the li'l torquey GA, its also fun to tune it, I actually did that to one of my project w/c is the B13. It has the basic IHE, jim wolf cams, and NX nitrous kit. But I'm going to have an engine swap, this time with an SR20VET. =) Yummy double vtec and bonst. But still waiting for the racing clutch to arrive. So long is the wait actually for the said clutch, that another proj. car came, i'ts their grand daddy monster. ;)

Member@ wananabe, grandeur N16 has the same chasis as the B15 usdm, I suggest QR25DE from usdm SE-R! 200hp baby!! But if budgeted you can always upgrade your engine w/ basic bolt ons, like what I did w/ my "juiced" B13. But all in all, the stock engine's potential is not that vs. engines like SR16/20VE, SR20DE, or QR25DE.
As for my projects, the B13 just had its new nismo duracon shift knob and still awaits my ACT racing clutch for the NeoVVL engine to be installed. And for the "Mutated T-Rex", just gonna fix some minor power steering leak in the hicas I think. :)

MemberFor Proj. Mutant Trex-
Ah installing Nismo oil pump was a drag, engine pull out... so what are we supposed to do? Check the whole powerplant while it's still out!! New N1 pistons coming... yum yum.Because of that the engine swap for B13 project on the other hand must be further delayed.

Member@Chad - 280zx! Nice! Is that the 2 seater with L28 engine? Sounds like a good project. Send us links of your pics so we can see the progress.
@Godrizza - Looks like you are having fun with your project. :) Is that the SR16VE or SR20VE? I am planning to install one as well.

Member@red.speedy- It's a SR20VET to be exact. ;) Medyo nadelay lang yung swap coz inaasikaso si other project "Mutant T-Rex".
It's a very nice engines those NeoVVL! It's has better power curve than the Vtec, only down side is it is kinda rare. Don't hesitate to install one bro! SR20VE more abundant than the SR16.

Thru a friend, you can also get them in some shops in Banawe and Evangelista. Tell me if you are interested maybe I can help. ;-) And the ones installing them has a shop in Banawe a friend too.
I also get parts straight from Japan, for popular JDM sports cars and for 2 of the most popular engines there as we speak- the SR20 and RB26. :-) Tell me if you need something dude.Posted 5 months ago # -

Member@Godrizza - Yes I am very interested. I have a friend who can install it for me. I need help where to get that SR20VE Neo VVL engine. Baka you can refer me to known shop which sells good quality engines. Ayoko na sanang magimport kasi madame daw papeles..... Estimate kaya mga magkano magagastos?

Member@red.speedy. Actually, the price trend of SR20VE has been going up since last year locally (since many shops now know that it has this "double vtec" NeoVVL). My estimate would be around 45 to 50k for the engine alone, you will need a manual SR20 FWD trany for another 15 - 20K. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you bro to go to Street Specs banawe, they are very knowledgeable on SR20s. They are good on engine swaps on popular JDM compacts. Try them di ako mapapahiya sa iyo. :-)

Member@red.speedy. Yep ok talaga dun. Oh you still have the rear drums? I thought your ride was a B14 Exalta. ;-) Yes brake upgrade will be needed but it can be just "to follow" stuff. But make sure you'll put them. I actually got from them my SE-R B13 rear disc brakes, different caliper position sya sa JDM SE-Saloon B13s. If you like dude you can look for Kris on S.Specs, and he will tell you all the stuff you need yo know about these engines. As far as I know almost similar lang to sa consumption ng SR20DE.
If you go there you might be able to see my engine there. ;-) It's not yet installed. hehe.

Memberguys,
Bago lng ako d2,,,gs2 ko sana mejo ausin ung oto ko, nissan sentra 04.Parang d kasi ako kuntento sa hila. i dont know kung nsanay lng ako mag drive ng biger cars like suvs. Patulong nmn guys, what else do i have to change. ung air filter ko pinalitan ko na ng simota racing filter, tama lng ba un? and nka muffler na din, anu pa ba kailangan para mas gumand pa ang takbo.hope to hear from u guys, thanks. buti n lng merong nissan forum like this, more power!

Hi yangers, anong engine ng Nissan mo and is it an automatic or manual?
Simota air filter is ok. Is your exhaust a 2inch exhaust from headers to the tail pipe? Did you also change your headers?
There are a lot of things you can do to your car but the initial steps would be Intake, Headers and Exhaust piping. For engines 2liter or smaller without forced induction or NOS, the max piping would be 2inches.

Well for custom made headers here in the Philippines, Nodalos are pretty good and the price is good. Not sure where their shop is though ;)

MemberHi,
I was wondering if one of you guys know where to get body kits and projector headlights for nissan exalta grandeur 2002 or the N16.
Been surfing the web, can't seem to find a local shop that specialize or experts with this car model. The only ones I've found were overseas.
I've been meaning to convert the front bumper from this:

Hey Congats! So the VIP look is what you want... Why not make it 20s, 19s are alanganin and are rare whether wheels or tires. :)
As for myself the mutant T-rex is still on break in because of the newly installed N1 pistons... while the B13 will be gutted out as soon as my mom gets back on vacation. :)
