Time warp for me working on Rob @schassis_v3 super stock S13. After buying the car he and @jowens_zenki did an SR engine conversion getting the big jobs done before bringing the car to Mutant to get road ready.
First job was to sort out the intercooler pipework as the SR was taken from James S14 it needed a little bit of adjustment, firstly removing the battery tray and cleaning up the holes for the front mount pipework. We then had to modify some of the aluminium fittings on the pipework to clear the radiator fan and blank off unused holes.
Next up was sorting the exhaust after seeing the front pipe hanging very low misaligning the rest of the exhaust we found the flange was heavily warped, so a trip to the linisher was needed to adjust the angle and clean up the sealing face allowing it to fit correctly. We then revisited the exhaust and added in a flexi and new gearbox mount to ensure perfect alignment to the rear bumper and take any stress off the turbo.
A new throttle cable mount was made up and we repaired the commonly damaged gearbox mount threads in the body.
Although the engine conversion was fully completed it then began running rough so we did an engine health check which came back great so electrical investigation soon found a split wire in the coil power circuit so an easy fix.
The final thing to sort was the dreaded rust! Passenger chassis leg was unfortunately rotten where the stiffening panels overlap. All the rust was cut out and cleaned back before thick 3mm reinforcement panels were welded inside the open chassis and fully treated before being plated over with a final finishing panel returning the chassis leg to full strength.
It was great to work on a very standard Nissan S13 once again and driving it on the road took me back to when I got my first S13 as a standard road car before I started drifting. Thank you for the throwback

Look at this 😍 so proud of @schassis_v3, myself and everyone that’s helped out on this project! Just for me to learn professionally to smash it into a wall 😃 if you fancy watching the build, it’s almost all on @drxgnshifts if you’re a beginner on a budget!

So here’s the intro to the car and to our mini-series! We’ve got a lot of work to do to the car before Soph is ready to drift it so we thought we might as well film it while we do it!

This one brings back some great memories of when I got my first s13. Rob brought his s13 to Mutant after he and good friend James had done a full SR20det engine conversion, with some helpful guidance, however needed a little bit of fine tuning to get the car ready for the road.
First up the car had developed a misfire so we identified number 2 cylinder was not firing. We did a quick engine health check to make sure there was no issues mechanically which all came back good which was a relief. We then found there was no spark which we tracked back through the loom to find the ignition trigger wire had been damaged. A sealed crimp connector and the car was back to running on all 4 again.
Next up was sorting the fitment of the intercooler. With the engine coming from an s14 donor the cold pipework needed modifying to remove the recirc and move the idle take off pipe out of the way of the fan. Additionally we removed the full original battery tray which had been cut through for the pipework, the. Welded up holes and tidied the opening adding a rubber edge trim to clean everything up.
The intercooler was mostly mounted but we made some adjustments to raise the cooler up and added in a full width cooling panel underneath to support the lower edge and ensure airflow into the radiator now the front bumper could fit around the intercooler correctly.
Finally we had to correct the exhaust as it was dragging on the ground. The down-pipe was heavily warped causing the front section fitment to angle down. We were able to linish this face to correct the exhaust angle and lift the front section up. We then made some small tweaks to the exhaust hangers on the rear section and added the missing rubber mounts instead of the temporary zip tie mounts. Although there were no major modifications needed the detail of small adjustments meant we could lift the exhaust up significantly and remove the leaks so this SR now sounds like it should.
A quick engine mount change to replace a torn mount and reset the coilover height finished the car ready to hit the road and be enjoyed once again.
Huge credit to @schassis_v3 & @jowens_zenki for the build

We’re going to be quieter than usual over the next couple of weeks! We have a lot of exciting stuff happening with our cars😆 the blue 13 is getting an SR swap and the Drxgnshifts drift 13 is having the CA out of it to get it running! Thank you to everyone that’s messaged for an order, and thank you for your understanding and patience!🙏
