OK so as most builds go I brought a rolling shell just for the Teins in it (to go in my coupe). Few days later Ive worked out its preety streight/rust free for a 93 and a spec M JDM. by now I couldnt part it ouT and scrap the bare shell so I looked for a cheap motor/box to slap it together, sell her and hopefull not loose to many $$..Found a bent shell with a built auto and stock rb25det (no hot or cold side) for a good price.
Went to check out the condition and inds 260 cams, miles of head work etc... so this build just got a little out of control.

Being a manual shell getting an auto Ive put the auto wireing harness in, from the 2dr donor, and modified it to suit the 4dr.
Most of the body is now sorted, Got S2 front and dash, Coupe Backseat (cleaner look then the 4dr) and the box and short motors in.
Still to fit the Prescission 5858, FFP & Front mount. Sort out a Fuel system and ECU.
Oh and all this is going on in the driveway (got another 10Yr project in the garage lol)

So got the turbo in the other day. Manifold was a major pain in the ass but. Still need to get a banjo bolt to hook the oil lines up and blockof or bypass the water feed (precision is oil only) though. Exhaust is in and hooked up

PSteer resivour had to be relocated a bit to clear turbo piping

    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
