      I'm probably not going to lower it. I want to be able to use it for moving large stuff, work and possibly towing so to get the best out of it I doubt I'll be changing the ride height.

      Thanks AAPOQ. Right now I daily it at about 16-18psi, but there's a laundry list of things I have to do before I feel like I can start making progress with this build. There's just a lot of things done half-heartedly.

          That's a pretty badass little ride! Need bigger tires or moar low.

          A buddy of mine just picked up a crew cab supercharged Frontier a couple weeks ago. But it's yellow.

            I'm probably not going to lower it more, btu I do want larger tires. The tires were just what I had and they had tons of tread left so I figured I'd keep them till they're burned up. Yellow is a cool color for the supercharged trucks in my opinion.

                I don't know the trucks well enough to say what the common problems are other than the handle for the tail gate release breaking. Motor wise I'd imagine they have the same common problems as the 240sx but they seem pretty resilient. I may have to put in a new oil pump or new main bearings soon though, seems I have a bit of an oil pressure problem.

                  It was about time to crack down and rebuild this puppy.

                  Plans:
                  New main bearings
                  New rod bearings
                  Turbo rebuild
                  Tubular exhaust manifold
                  Tial blow-off valve
                  External wastegate
                  Larger injectors
                  S13 ecu
                  S13 engine harness
                  S13 intake manifold?
                  Tune

                    Still have a bit of work to do, but it's coming together.

                      Seems all my old pictures lost their sizing format so I'll just take them down until I can get around to re-hosting them.

                      Updates:
                      Painted the intercooler black. Saw the video on mighty car mods of the temperature difference so I figured I'd try it out. If anything it'll make the intercooler more low key and less people will pick up on it being turbo.

                      This is what I found inside the motor. Needless to say I'm disappointed and I made it known to the previous owner (as I still talk to him frequently) but I can't do anything else other than rebuild.






                      The timing chain guide decided to break into a few pieces that I found in the bottom of the oil pan. This explained where all the metal shavings were coming from and the reason I've had to replace so much. Yes, those are the timing sprockets welded to the old Crower cams (which were Altima cams so the cam degreeing was weird). Basically he took it upon himself to degree the cams based off of the timing on a 240. Turns out the cam journals were pretty badly grooved so I went and purchased a new set of Brian Crower stage 2 turbo cams which have identical profiles but very different degreeing. Also the tops of the ARP studs were lopped off (why I have no idea) so I purchased another set of those as well. Looking to buy a Cosworth head gasket for it and possibly some Z1 Motorsports valve guides and seals.

                        Looking forward to seeing pictures of the whole truck! Even if its in pieces haha. Seems like a fun toy.

                          Picked these up for the truck recently. Something a little different. This will probably be the only visual modification for the truck. I'm really trying to keep it a sleeper style build. Also ordered the new head gasket so hopefully the motor will be in one piece again soon.

                              Well, after about 7 years of sitting, buying parts, and figuring out obscure Nissan information, it is finally running again.
