Sold the FD

[blu808]

Just wanted to let you guys know that I sold the FD last week, and will be building another S14 to come back to the what I am more familiar with driving.

See you guys at the track this thursday. :bigok:

[95zilvia]

Yes, 240s are win.

Hurry up, you're slow Luke! hahaha Glad to see you back in an S-chassis.

[Matej]

S-chassis gets more angle! :)

[johngriff]

haha

I always hated driving rx-7's. I dont know what it is, maybe that you are sitting ontop of the rear wheels, makes some kind of weird inner ear balance thing in my head... makes me sick.

Welcome back to the dark side luke!

glad to hear your back

[CylonFrakker]

welcome back dude

[blu808]

Thanks guys. We will have a press release soon on the new car. Also a full step by step build page.

[Yoshi]

what was the original reason for joining the rotary club if I might ask?
and how does the rex differ as far as driving feel?
(obviously I've never driven one; closest I came was a non-turbo FC... not impressive in any way)

[staygold24]

ls1 s14? yes?

Yoshi, he was never Rotary, His FD was powered by a LS1. Welcome back to Nissan Luke.

[PoorMans180SX]

I'm looking forward to the buildup page, I loved the FD's!

[Bryants95240sx]

I always knew you would come back haha. Its like once youve had a 240 you eventually come back to it even if you had moved on to better things.

[s14xman]

lol!!! ^^^ Glad you're back man.

[wootwoot]

Manage to make enough money to completely fund the next car along with sponsorship ofcourse?

[blu808]

I loved the FD but I have allways wanted a ls7 powered s14.


Should be a fun build.

[Nikeboy355]

LS7?... You really going to get one?

[blu808]

Working on it. We have one here at the shop right now, but its for an FD.

Hoping everything turns out.

What brakes are those? My stock GTO brakes suck.

[sideview_180sx]

so will the s14 be running an LS1 since you've seemed to have very few mechanical issues with the FD ???

[blu808]

Ls series moters are reliable. That has allready been proven by people before me. I just live the power, tq, sound, rel, etc.

LS7 stock for 07 540hp with a warranty. Same price as a fully built sr. =Win

I know its more than most of us have for an initial investment but in the long run it makes sence.

[Gumballf355]

I expect a beastly car. Better start thinking about some HUGE wheel/tire combination.

[20 til 3]

ls7 in a s14 would be insane, cant wait to see the build and yes...those rx7's are weird s-chassis for life lol

[ladiesman8527]

pm me if u need any GM performance parts or any OEM GM parts. i got access to all the dealer parts and performance catalogs and part #'s. i work at a GM parts warehouse and can get ANYTHING for wholesale and sometimes cheaper. last thing i checked a price on for someone was a GTO oil pan. list is like $460, i was able to get it for ~$215. let me know.

[atutt]

So you sold a REAL sports car, to buy a wannabe sports car? lol

[steve shadows]

So you sold a REAL sports car, to buy a wannabe sports car? lol

haha, I kind of agree... I like the chasis, I hate the motor.

sr20det in fd.

I dont know V8s are great for drifting. because it requires less skill to keep the tires spinning and easier throttle control in a drift. of course with a loc'd diff the car will spin out just as easiliy if your a putts.

well good luck...

whats wrong with nissan V8s?

I think theres equal aftermarket for them as there is as the newest string of chevy motors at least on the affordability side...

LS1 is cheap that makes sense, LS7 not as cheap...

What the, you cant afford a GTO Xavier!!! Oh yah hey PM me your whole name when you get the chance so i can start sending you gay porn thru global. Im leaving for Kadena this coming sunday and bubye Travis AFB...

Anyways, how much did you get out of the FD luke? Dont forget NOT to hack the firewall this time around...

[s14xman]

luke: the brakes are factory but are garbage, that car is kinda cheesy as far as suspension goes. The LS7 will be a beast!! look forward to seeing that.

Ray: I don't want your gay porn, i get enough junk email through work email, haha

[ixfxi]

mazda is a pain in the ASS....

[wootwoot]

ls7's are only 15k new...Worth it though!

Fire wall was not hacked on the FD. just the tab was bent up and tack welded.

$30,000 is what the fd was sold for.

well damn.
That's just not any less impressive is it? LOL!

[mr_240sx]

holy smokes.... congrats on selling the FD just out of curiousity who bought it?

[blu808]

A really cool cat from south carolina bought it. If any of you guys were at altamont last thursday he was driving it.

[Farzam]

Well i'll probably be seeing the car around here.

I'm gonna bother him if I do.

"I WANT A WELD LOCD CHADDDD GIMME A BLUE ONE CHAADD"

His name will probably be Louise too.

[drew935]

Interesting pic of the garage with the GTO and the S14. I was like, that's not Luke's garage but it will house the same cars when the 14 is in there. lol. I think the corvette brake upgrades fit on the gto Luke.
