So after crashing my first S14 (twice) and then breaking it, then getting about 90% complete on an S13 but then breaking it due to lack of funds, I'm back with another car!
Bought this one with most of the hard work done, saves me messing around and getting too involved, meaning it'd die a slow death again. It's fast enough for me, and it's also my daily currently, which is another reason why I can't mess it up too much! I love it though, had it about a month now.
When I got it, it looked like this, sans wheels (I ***** them):
It's a UK model, with kouki kit. Cheaper to insure (+) but a bit rusty (-) The worst of the corrosion has been fixed already however.
The spec list was as follows:
H-Dev stage 1a chip
NGK grade 7 iridium plugs
HKS adjustable actuator on standard t28 turbo
Gizzmo boost controller
Trust/Greddy airfilter
Solid ally inter-cooler pipes and pigeon mod
FMIC
Bigger viscous fan fitted (like the Gk tech one)
Ally radiator
Silicon hoses
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator (stock fuel pressure)
Walbro pump
Apex type 2 4 branch manifold
Unknown japanese turbo elbow
Japspeed flexi downpipe less than 1000 miles old
Custom hayward and scott shotgun exhaust with uprated hangers
Poly engine mounts
Driftworks superlight flywheel
Exedy 3 paddle clutch
4:1 welded diff
Solid diff bushes
Nismo short shifter
Tein front coilovers
Meister R rear coilovers
Tein front strut brace
Ebay rear strut brace
Magic racing adjustable upper rear arms
Magic racing front tension rods
drilled and grooved rear discs
Subframe locking collars
Front wiring loom been tucked up after notching the inner wing area
Genuine Bride Zeta 3s
Driftworks harnesses both in date.
Driftworks hydraulic handbrake with driftworks lines and custom made extended lever.
Stock handbrake moved to otherside and welded in. Centre console cut to fit
Hella supertone horns
Sony cd player with ipod mount
Uprated speakers front and rear
White led dash bulbs
Gizzmo boost controller under dash next to column
Autometer Phantom boost gauge in carbon ash tray blank
Battery cut off concealed in the centre arm rest
Battery relocated to boot in battery box
Genuine Kouki front bumper
Genuine rear bumper
Kouki front grille
Kouki indicators with sidelights and indicators
Hids
The only things I have really done are put my Nardi wheel in there and get it on some wheels. I borrowed four standard wheels from friends for the trip home after buying, only to find that two were flat! Rather than mess around trying to inflate them, I bought the old owners four R33 GT-R wheels. Only ran them on the front though as the other tyres were shot.
Monday just gone I managed to get my front Meisters fitted, with a pair of the R33 wheels moved to the back with 245/45s and 15mm spacers. I'm pretty happy with how it's sitting at the moment!
I have next week booked off work, if all goes to plan I should be able to get my friend to cut the arches out at the back ready for my rear Meisters to go on. I'll be using all metal arches, just extremely extended!
The current plans are:
Upkeep
Roll rear arches
Paint rear Meisters black to match fronts
Eventually paint all Meisters TE37 bronze
Lower a little more
Skid!
Upgrade handling as stage 1A is plenty fast enough for me.
Hope to keep this updated as and when I can afford to do things to the car, I usually update instagram daily with pictures of this or my friend's custom front ended RB25 S14A, check it out! - @floydparsons
