Hi mate, thanks, yeah good advice I think, have spoken to Wingfield a few times, its the wings we're still after, remember we spoke on this before, its just so expensive as I would have to pay for...
Anyone know if these guys in Sydney Australia who supply carbon parts for our cars are legit/still in business? https://carbonetics.net/en-gb

looks great, lovely colour that by the way, we're going for a TH1 respray later in the year
Where are you going for your rebuild and restoration job? what are you going for with the engine?
Agree with what's been said here, as a recent owner of an S14 this forum has been an incredible source of help and information so if there is anyway we can preserve/streamline all of that information...
Nice one piman!, would be interested in seeing some pics of your current Kouki at some point
Anyway here is a pic of the car with the carbon trunk mounted now:

Nice one! that finish looks slick as well as practical, i guess this is a good alternative to turbo blankets/heat wrap etc. What's your current car?
Quick question on the hood again, in terms of...
Got you yeah makes sense on the latches
The boot 'spring' is basically what seems to be 2 flexible bars installed in a cross over arrangement I guess to act against each other
Zirotec look...
ah thanks for the reply mate, yeah heard stories about the lighter carbon boot lid springing up, was going to consider removing the springs but do people leave them in place? One thing I notice on my...
Hi all, just a quick update on this thread
I originally approached Wingfield about having some carbon wings and rear spoiler made up but ended up not pursuing it due to the sheer cost of having to...
I have a Nistune for an S14a lying around I bought from Horesham a couple of years ago complete with cables and software if you are interested? since upgraded to a Link G4
starting to think this is some intermittent sensor/wiring problem, went to the meet today in 33C, logged everything, all temps well within normal operating, no error codes thrown at all!
Hi all
Quick run down on the past couple of days, ambient temp outside about 28C around here so hot, took the car to garage-D yesterday to have some lower arms fitted, after about 40 mins of...
Perfect, will give that a go, thank Mike!
yeah it would be way cheaper but I cant find a thing for an S14a, only an S14!
BTW went to the service manual to see how to remove the wings and nothing exists, seems just a few bolts on top and...
Sent you a PM
Yup!, and they are also going to build the Kouki rear spoiler for us too (I already have an unused fibre glass rear spoiler they will use for the molds)
Its literally going to cost a small fortune...
Quick update on the Carbon Fibre S14 Kouki build, Seibon hood and boot lid arrived super quick, only took about 2 weeks from the US, I think we were lucky, havent mounted them yet but they look...

Quite like it tbh, we did have a couple of...

Hi all, first oil change after going big top mount turbo (Garett GTX3076r)
I'm using the same oil as I was running prior to the upgrade (Castrol Edge 5W/40 as discussed here:...
Yeah its them I have been dealing with, just put in an order and you are not kidding about bracing myself! :)
Listen mate thanks for all your help with this, really appreciate all of your input here
Yeah i know none of this stuff is cheap eh!
