Fat American

Hey everyone. My name is Fred. I'm from St. Louis Missouri in the states. 30 years old now. Been into 240s and rb's since highschool. I have a s13 coupe w a rb25 s1. The motors out right now. I pulled it to do the clutch and flywheel then decided to helicoil all 12 exhaust studs since they were all trashed. Then I decided to order a hypergear atr43g3sat turbo, 550 injectors, and a few other things. Don't know how long the motor will last with about an extra 100hp but we'll see I guess. Lol. This page has already been a great source of knowledge so I figured I would make an intro thread. Here's some pics. Thanks for all your knowledge!

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
