SR20DE N16

LOL no chance the way its looking at the minute! To be honest mate its doing nothing but pi$$ing me off right now. I have 2 nacked dampers on the rear coilovers which are knocking like hell and the back of the car is bouncing around so much now, and the front passenger side coilover needs to have the spring re-seated.

Getting the coilovers all sorted within the next few weeks, just got to wait for the new parts from K- Sport, then its going in the bodyshop for a full front end respray to get rid of the rust on the arches and the stone chips all over the bumper.

Also looking into a new interior, whether it be aftermarket front seats with a retrim on the back to match or just a whole new interior which isn't as lightly coloured as mine.

Ah sorry to hear to that Mick. A car shouldnt get you down. Just remember when it's fixed you'll be happy again and remember why you liked the car :). When the front's resprayed have you considered some sort of stone chip protection? It's something I'm looking into for when I get my front bumper tweaked and resprayed.
 
I have but I have no idea of cost etc, with the front end being so low it picks up stone chips like theres no tomorrow so it would be worth it for me to invest in like.

Also going to look into upgrading my HID's to 8000k soon as they are only 5000k at the minute.

Mick
 
Give me a shout when you do. I may be interested in your old HID's if only for the brighter beam. Or is it only a few parts that get changed and not the whole unit?

Don't know why Nissan designed the N16's lghts so badly. Both phase1 and phase2 i've had have been a bit below par.
 
When I bought the kit I was told I could just upgrade the bulbs and wouldnt need to change the ballasts if I wanted to upgrade them to 8000k :)

I was going to go for the Phase 2 light conversion at first but when the HID's came up I couldn't say no for the price I paid.

Mick
 
Ah but phase 2 lights are more suited the HIDs. In fact isnt there something against puttng HIDs in non-projector type headlights?
 
:lol:.

Oh just to check, that the kelvin rating is colour and not brightness so it's not quite an upgrade. They'll just be whiter, well in fact look quite blue at night. The sun is 5600K and Tugsten 3200K as an example of temperature. Sorry if you know this already but thought I'd throw it out there :).
 
Phil points out that you're in the best area of penetration...after I slapped him he told me in what context and I said sorry. :lol:


Oh right back onto this engine swap....

I've just remembered there's actually a B15 in the UK! A guy living near Norwhich has one. Can't remember if it's the SR20 or the QR25 version. I'll go sniff him out again...

Yup, lives in the Norwhich area, in Thetford. It's an 05 specV which means it's the QR25 I'm afraid, but at least you might be able to chat with him and get pictures or even better go and meet the guy. Why he's not on AOC I don't know. I'll have to PM him.

Out of Sight and that other member have done SR swaps into N16s, the one with the SR20DET had custom everything but what about the SR16VE member?
