Dunc's s14a - weekend toy

[dunc]

Had this for a few weeks now so thought I'd better put a project thread up to keep track of what's going on.

As I bought it:-



Nice looking car but I've been changing things to make it more suitable for me, for the purpose I want it - A capable and fun weekend car. It's a bit leggy at 119k but isn't smokey and engine seems fine.

Firstly I've removed some of the stuff (I'm guessing I'll get some stick for some/all of these changes).

*Bucket seat/harnesses removed, std cream leather fitted in its place.
*Aftermarket wheel removed and std wheel put back in its place.
*Suspension raised as it just wasn't practical as it was and also so as I can,
*Remove the straight through exhaust and fit a stainless system with silencers
*Removed all the stickers

Here's the current exhaust (which will be up for grabs soon):-



And under the bonnet



So the spec as it stands is nothing special and something along the lines of:-

Engine

*SR20DET
*T28
*Koyo Rad
*FMIC
*Tubular Exhaust Manifold
*Battery relocated to boot
*Stainless exhaust
*Cone Filter
*Uprated fuel pump
*Braided turbo lines


Suspension

*HSD coil overs
*rear subframe brace
*rear strut brace
*rear c-pillar brace

Brakes

*Grooved rear disk, drilled front disks
*Hydraulic handbrake (to be removed)

Additional

*HIDs
*Auto meter boost gauge

Future tasks are uprated pads, new front tyres, change exhaust over to one with silencers, bodywork tidy up, arches and a bit in the engine bay.

Cheers,

Dunc.

I've got a mongoose here, how would the HKS compare and what's it look like? Might do, you're OK with it having no CAT's or silencers?

If Kieran_E1 dissent have it ill be interested in buy-in the system of you mate, will sound good one the RB25 is up and running in my 14a :-)

[JamesR]

[Kynseys S14a]

Car looks great as you brought it, right up my street :-)
I would be interested in the exhaust system when it's for sale, drop me a PM to discuss.

[Jonny Mac]

the car looks awesome! just needs some rear spacers to fill the back arches a little

Nice car dude, not usually a fan of red 14s but this looks sweet dont change to much now ha looks great keep up the good work.

[dunc]

Thanks for the +ve comments, I've raised the suspension a bit (20 turns front and back) - I think it's similar to the top pic in terms of height now and also put small spacers on the back that #I had lying around.

Planning on removing the exhaust on sat so first to ask was E1, then James etc etc. I also have a set of sliding drivers subframes like new (driftworks ones perhaps?) and a set of red harnesses 3" not in FIA date though.

i was only gonna do the exhaust if it helped you out mate so pass it on.

andie might be into the harnesses btw. ( thats not a joke i'm serious , she bought a 323 coupe for crail )

[dunc]

OK appreciated bud Willie will be returning it at the meet so can pass it on.

JamesR you're next - if I get it off on sat I'll get pics, think it's got heat wrap on it - can remove that or keep it on. It was purchased March 2012, it's one of these http://www.japspeed.co.uk/Nissan-200...st/p-3-72-865/

[JamesR]

Ok bud cool beans. What sorta price you lookin at for it mate

[dunc]

Was going to check the condition before deciding a price, nothing silly

[JamesR]

Nice one. Only really after the bk box. Only because I'm guna have to fabricate from the turbo bk as I'm puttin an RB25 in my 14a

[dunc]

I'll get back to you but probs not up for splitting as I'd never shift the centre section on its own

[JamesR]

[dunc]
