project badass nissan pao

[bdtd]

I have one of the sister cars, a Nissan S-Cargo.
SWMBO done two engines in it before I lost the rag and fitted a 1.5 td and manual box.
Class yoke.

[grumpybadger]

Was so tempted by this myself, can't wait to see how it develops.

[retrowagen1234]

That s13.... Did you buy that down southamton? Guy i used to work with imported one that looked identical to that from japan. Was silly quick...

[geoffersmaher]

ohhh now that is nice

[geoffersmaher]

right a little update, after a little play round with some parts (more hoping as we think we new the prob) we serviced the car and wacked on a new rocker cover and got all the vac hoses in the right place.



we sort of realized it was the head gasket

so now there is an empty space where she was as she is having a 1.3 16v out of k11 micra.

so while its away ive bought a few bits

that look something like this


and some other cheesy bits




got front sus sorted


new wheels for her,



I was thinking cream centers?

new decent boots too, 50 quid for 4 yokos sweet




few more bits in the post but thats about it for now ill keep you updated as it goes, need to pop down to the workshop to get a few pics of the car as she stands

[ettorebugatti]

Yup, cream centres will do nicely.

Love to see to progress on the CG13DE swap.

[VIP]

I hope you are doing a manual swap at the same time?

[geoffersmaher]

yep manual with k11 legs and brakes etc

[markbognor]

Oh Yes!

Carbed CG13 or stock EFI?

[Mike D]

You might need to look into modding the front wishbones to get it proper low, mine only had -40 springs on and it was the most horiffic thing i've ever driven, the wishbones clunked into the body mounts all the time...

[hamps]

I WANT ONE! bookmarked.

i like the wheels, glad the coilovers got to you, meant to send you a message but forgot.

Loving the Pao, those wheels are awesome. Can't wait to see it badass-afied ;D

Intersting to see your previous car history, a good friend of mine has just bought one of your old car. This one in fact..........

He bought it off a guy local to us cheap as the paint wasn't good, it need welding for the MOT and the engine was really noisey (despite the fact he'd just rebuilt it!) 2 weeks after getting it resprayed and road legal, the engine seized due to epically low oil pressure and we've literally yesterday just finished replacing the engine.
