Well, yes and no...this little RB Neo in my car is just awesome at the moment..0.7 bar boost low, 1.5 high..
Serious traction problems out rear that with a few tweaks , had improved. I have a lot to do out rear, running drift suspension does not automatically a track car make..!
I have all these plans and ideas but seeing as my yearly trip to the coast is looming I will do the ecu system and call it quits until I'm back. I also really want to fit my Porsche brakes before ..
Ill see.
car is becomming a real monter, pls fit the brakes before you go to the coast.
Looking forward to more pics and updates.
Will pop in when im in ur area.
If there`s one thing in life that seriously fcuks me off big time its the crap out of china !!!!!
I bought two hydraulic fitting yesterday for the oil cooler from Edenglen Hydraulics. I looked at the barb section and queried the clamping ability with the stupid salesman.
Its fine I'm told. I was skeptic but took them anyhow. BIG fcukin mistake !
On the way to work this morning hose pushed off and pumped 5 liters of brand new edge onto the ground.
Fixed it , filled with a new can and carried on. 8 km later the same bloody thing.
This time I caught it very quick and saved some oil in the sump as I had no fill. Redid the pipe and kept the revs real low so the pressure would not go higher than 4 bar .
Made it to wok but twice in the early morning.
Fcuk chinese sh*t !!!!!!!!!!
sweet looking motor there!!!!!!
would fit so well in that sexy s14 you have
Some updates ...
Sorted the holes in the bootlid and fitted the spare front bumper - all nice and sprayed.
Painted the carbon boot spoiler I had and fitted that as well. Really looked good so i have left it on..Will paint the second, slightly different one as well and see what that looks like a bit later on.
what a sight hey
two beautiful cars made it all the way down there and back again!!!!!!!
Nyc japanese bootys 😮 🙄
Coastal road trip..... Thats the life
Once again I have not updated anything here for some time. Latest was that a chap had stopped me a week ago and asked if I would sell....Well, he came round last night for a second look . I took him for a spirited ride. He wants my car .
What this does is leave me with a bit a of a dilemma . Do I then go R33 import ? I don`t know if I want to go that route. Does not handle like a well set up S14, limited to the engine choice if you really think about it..Cannot very well stick the Lexus into it now , can we ? Maintenance will be a problem when things go wrong. Its an old car already..
The S14 lends it self to engine, gearbox and diff swaps at will..
Mmmmm, will get asking price for her if she goes...decisions, decisions.....
get something one prettier but the same .. S15
But you seem like an R34 kind of guy to me 🙂
If Nick's R33 GT-R did not steal your heart completely, then don't buy a GT-R.
You will be loved and hated by most with a nice S15 though.
If you are after handling RX-7, but then the V8 must go in, first thing.
It wasn't that Nicks car did not excite me, not at all ! It was the R300k that gave me a heart attack !
If you get a GT-R, for lets say R100k.
Suspension
Stroker kit
MLS gaskets
Turbo/s setup
Cooling setup
Fuel setup
Oil setup
Head work and valve train
Nice wheels, as most of the "cheaper" cars come with either stock or clown wheels.
Body work and making things look nice in general.
You will be at a R400-R500k total before you even know it.
This is without fancy gearboxes, diffs and brakes.
Doing this over time is better on the pocket, but kills your patience.
Nee,jy`s reg....het darem al die 2.8 Tomei..herbou die Stegia daarvoor..
I do not know why we always put in inferior sh*t when the factory stuff is just sooo much better.
My poly diff mounts disintegrated within a year.
An e-mail to Chesapeake Nissan, a PayPall transfer and one week later I have my new original bushes ready to go in..
Superb stuff.
yea thats the thing cant always go for after market stuff all the time
I could at long last take my car off the road for a while. Until now she was a daily.
Mods galore in stock for her, fitting the new radiator after the Mishimoto core disintegrated.
Literately so. To fit the rad I needed to modify a lot of frontal steel , also to clean up the airflow in the front behind the bumper for some streamlined airflow. Lots of gubbins an stuff in the form of brackets, hooters, wide metal members and stuff. It all adds up to inhibit proper flow to cool everything.
The chassis legs right at the front need to be sliced and diced by 25mm per side for the radiator, the lower cross member needs to be dropped by 30 mm and the intercooler needs proper mounting. Was always attached with pop riveted plates which don't last.
Im doing a frame that will hold the different components properly. The coolers will also get guides to direct the cooling medium to the proper areas.
Oil coolers will drop down and to the left and right of the inter cooler and radiator.
While its off the road, my brake conversion will also finally go on.
Updates to follow.
Will also set up the trigger for the ViPEC management system while its all open up front.
Oh, and a damn good clean up and paint. That is concrete/cement from the Rock Raceway..
Want to swap Neptune ?? 😉 😉
yoh big list of things to do hey?
Good luck, ill come and chec progress one or other time!
Caliper adapters are being made.
Cut the last of the chassis and made space for the frame.
Pulled the crank pulley off for a 60-2 trigger wheel and pickup.
Removed the covers to do the timing belt and seals.
Found the belt very loose and also not on the mark on the intake cam.
While I'm here, new crank seal, tensioners and water pump even though everything seems to be in good shape.
Awesome stuff mr henning
Glad you decided to pull her off the road to do some upgrade surgery
Those discs look awesome that's what I'm after
Don't like those micro cracks on the timing belt toss a greddy in and be done with it
Does the vipec run 60-2?
Keep up the good work buddy
