my s14a project thread :)

[JC SX]

Let me know when you have it and ill be ready, ill come round help remove it as well, would be helpful to know how to fit it!

[nash`s]

Ok mate no probs.

Might attempt to fit the seat this weekend providing the snow clears up.

[nash`s]

finally got round to installing the new seat tonight







and with the takata's







also stuck a holding monster sticker on the back of the zeta



now the interior is finished, it will give me more time/money to work on the exterior and more engine work

[Chriscooke]

What else have you got planned engine wise? A 400 ish bhp sx is plenty isn't it?

[nash`s]

your right 400 is plenty, but i want a 'safe' 400+. looking into forging the engine atm, possible stroker.

[clive]

Much jealous of your interior :-(

Yeap, 400 is plentyyyy for a s14!! Focus on getting the power down, and brushing up on track experience I say.

Oh. You have a reply to pm, sorry for the late reply!

Thanks Clive.

I'm happy with the power just want to make it safe power really. Yeah I defentley want to look into getting the power down better. I'm hoping the new diff will help with some of that. Might look into some semi slicks for track days too. And more track time is a must I agree.

[Chriscooke]

Are you currently running the standard lsd? If so can you post up your findings with the new diff please

[nash`s]

Running a kazz diff now mate. Haven't tried it on track yet so difficult to compare to the standard LSD, but can feel the difference on the road so should be noticeably deferent on track.

[clive]

1.5 way? How you finding it so far, even on the roads?

[nash`s]

yeah 1.5 way. so far so good mate, but tbh i havent driven it an awful lot since fitting it so its a little soon to give a proper review of it right now

[clive]

Fair man. All the people I spoke to with experience of kaaz 2ways said they was really clonky, like not far off welder! which is why I decided to Hold out for a nismo diff! But 1.5 way maybe different?

[nash`s]

it is a tad clonky but it seeing as the car isnt a daily, its something i can live with. i was ideally after a gt-pro diff but at the time didnt have the money for one kinda wish i waited out for one now.

[YannG]

gorgeous car, and i love those seats with the takata's

keep it up dude, such a nice car!

[Chriscooke]

Does the diff make a massive difference to the driving experience? Is it more prone to lock up and kick the back end out under breaking?

[nash`s]

keep it up dude, such a nice car!

many thanks YannG. the seats are awesome dude (so everyone tells me lol). got loads of plans for her yet but as always never enough money to do everything i want . got bunch a parts waiting to go on the car just hard finding the time and money to get it all done.

loving your car right now though mate. hopefully see you at the next meet again

Does the diff make a massive difference to the driving experience? Is it more prone to lock up and kick the back end out under breaking?

the diff feels so much nicer to drive with (apart from the clonking lol) than the stock lsd. feels alot more predictable if you know what i mean. the 2 way diffs are more prone to lock up on deceleration from my understanding. tbh im still yet to do alot of spirited driving with this fitted (im rubbish i know) so im still yet to feel the full potential of this diff

[-Marc-]

I want that Zeta back......my red ones not the same

[Aj82]

Always been a huge fan of this car mate and great to see work still going on and its still looks epic. Great work. Iv been away for a while so doing the catching up.

Cheers Aj

[ToddS14A]

Good to see you still cracking on mate, was always an amazing car.

Hopefully bump into you down lakeside at some point fella

[matt_e36]

Really enjoyed reading this build so far. Very interested to see what's next. Quick question though, did you have the Apex arms powder coated or just painted? Cheers .
