240SXMOTORING '09 Time Attack Build Thread

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

The 2009 season for Redline Time Attack is upon us. And you'll be seeing us at their east coast events again this year. We've got a lot planned for this season, including the introduction of our newest toy, the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

But don't think we've forgotten our S14. No sirrie! In fact, here's a little preview/teaser pic for what you can expect this year.

more info/pics on the aero modifications?

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

It's a custom in-house built rear diffuser cut into a a vS kit. There's also wide fenders from D-Max going up front and Origin in the rear. That's just the tip of the iceberg for what we've got planned before the first race.

I'll be sure to keep everyone updated with more pics once it's polished up a bit. :D

[cc4usmc]

Is the preview missing?

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

The teaser pic is the first pic.

[cc4usmc]

Ok, I'm only seeing the pic of the 08 car. I guess it's just my computer? lol

[slider2828]

There is two pictures.... Are those arogosta's on the front? Moton? Or just Stance AL+ or whatever...

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

STANCE GR+3way Coilover Kit for Nissan 240sx S14 95-98 (http://www.240sxmotoring.com/stgrcokitfor1.html)

They ain't cheap, but the performance on these things are worth it!

[s14unimog]

haha, nice^ some one's been watching FX lately....

More than you can pal,Ferrari...Jk......
.....again?

Didn't notice the link; not bad...

I love the work you typically see on "Time Attack" there seems to be a lot more ingenuity and design than your typical drift car. I bet this will be a sweet build to follow, given your starting point...

[ByeByeSti]

oooooo i want moarrr pics asap :)

[Silverbullet]

It's a custom in-house built rear diffuser cut into a a vS kit. ... That's just the tip of the iceberg for what we've got planned before the first race.

[corey240]

Nice build coming cant wait to see this is person! For the headlights, did you just make some frp covers? I am doing this but am takings ome short cuts since moulding is expensive to make, I know I did it for a couple years. Im wondering what you guys did for yours? Im going frp but for now it will be aluminum with a projector mounted since I daily it..

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

For the headlights we just made it out of fiberglass based off the OEM headlights.

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

It's amazing how despite all the Japanese parts you have on the car the styling still looks so American but not just any American but middle of no where corn field American.

what???? makes no sense.

[AutoTune]

What I was trying to say it that people try to mimic the japanese tuner look but then you still tell it was done by a american tuner

[HYPNOTIK]

Just curious, what tires will you be running?

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

We're getting Hoosier R6
295's in the rear and 275's up front.

[turbo_dreams]

Is this still being powered by a ka-t? When are you guys throwing another meet? I'm determined to win this years ziptie trophy lol

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

Yessir, it's still a KA-T.

Stay tuned to our website in the next few weeks. We'll be announcing details on this years meet soon! :D

[kognition]

Look's great Andrew!
I like the color scheme. Also, i wish i could offer you some of my new stuff right now... full widebody kit, but it is in mold making stage right now. I wanted to say that with the alumalite, try to keep the splitter leading edge down to 3 or 3.5". Because unless it is balls to the wall secured with a good fabbed frame, it will vibrate in the right situation. And just be sure to plan for an effective air flow path under the car if you go with an alumalite diffuser. G.L. with the build, and maybe i will see you guys out there when i am filming for timeattack.tv (http://timeattack.tv):bow:

Yessir, it's still a KA-T.

[Kouki_Love]

[eclip5e]

I was going to bring the RASpec to NJ for that event, but its not a point-event and its the same weekend as the "Wicked Big Meet" for us Subaru folks.

[screaminfast]

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

[CamryOnBronze]

[AutoTune]

Looks legit but whats up w/ the front wheels?

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

What do you mean?

[florante rea]

[AutoTune]

What do you mean?

Sunk plus the height is not the same as the back

[screaminfast]

thanks for the cage pics :) looks great! I'm dropping my car off today to one of my customers who is going to do my cage. we can't do any forward bars because we're building it to formulaD/nasa CCR spec.

[turbo_dreams]

Pix of the engine bay and motor/turbo specs pleaseeee? Understood if you don't want to disclose that info...btw thanks for the motor mounts ! Ordered tues, recieved wens, these guys are east coast saviors !

[boosteds14]

Sunk plus the height is not the same as the back


5zigen doesnt make a "sunk" look on a 17x9 wheel the rears are 17x10+12

[boosteds14]

[kognition]

Good choice, it will last a bit longer. :bow:

[clark]

oh my god, please stop polluting this thread. it's a time attack build, for grip........

i personally love everything about this build.


EDIT:

hey, did you guys fabricate the rear diffuser???

[SILVIA_KIDs14.5]

It's amazing how despite all the Japanese parts you have on the car the styling still looks so American but not just any American but middle of no where corn field American.

[kognition]

I hope that we can get a few good builds like this out on the track to show the potential. Every potential is there for a serious track monster.

[xs240]

Rooooooooarrr awesome

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

I'll see if I can get some pics of the exhaust next time it's on the lift.

And yes, the rear diffuser was also fabricated in house!

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

someone needs to punch you in the cock. :smash:

[fromxtor]

^^ IIRC they said they will be running 17x10s all the way around, Andrew do you think I should attempt 17x10s in the front of mine with 20mm front fenders?

[boosteds14]

17x9 in the front.

[kognition]

I'm fitted with18"x 9.5" in the front with a 25mm spacer and our 25mm. fenders.
10" is a little more than i need for the weight of the car and the compound that i use, as well as my front spring rate. Very stiff setup in the front. Also i am upgrading to an electric steering system from an Altima so that i can get faster steering response and more steering torque due to the stickier slicks.

What are you rocking in the rear?

[kognition]

In the rear i have 18"x 10.5" . And i have a new set of forgeline F18's being custom made, those are the same in front, but 18" x 11" in the rear.

What are you rocking in the rear?

[xs240]

so basically now u have 18x9.5 but u will be rocking 18x10.5 front and 18x11 rear with those custom ones?

What spring rates are u running? What tires (size/brand/name)?

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

Bigger wheels, maybe in the future.

We're getting Hoosier R6
295's in the rear and 275's up front.

"getting" is the wrong tense now. It should be got. ;)

[kognition]

On the car now, i have Enkei NT03's 18x10.5 rear, and 18x 9.5 front. Hankook C91 slicks. 275's front and back.

Having the Forgestars made now.Those are 18x11 and 18x9.5 . These are for my wet and intermediate tires. You need practice wheels, and hot lap wheels.

so basically now u have 18x9.5 but u will be rocking 18x10.5 front and 18x11 rear with those custom ones?

[boosteds14]

How do you like those C91? I was thinking of trying them out....Just need to budget myself to afford tires.

[kognition]

It's a winning compound if you are 2,500 lb's or below.
But not easy to find anymore. JIC set us up with their last 16 tires before they started working with Yokohama this season. I think tire availablilty issues were a factor in the change to Yokohama.

do you not realize its a race car and not a drift car? Race. hello?

its all about function here.

[screaminfast]

Hey Andrew, what did you guys do about mounting seats? I just dropped my car off at the chassis builder and he needs to know how high the seats are going to be so he knows where to put the harness bar.

I have two cobra evolution S seats with sidemounts. Should I mount them on a bracket or just build a steel box on the floor. Thanks for any help!

If I was to redo mine, i would cut out a box on the floor and notch it so the seat sits as low as possible. My seat is higher than I would like it to be. Maybe I will change that some time this summer if I have the time.

[civilized_drifter]

are you guys gonna be at import alliance in nashville for the time attack? i would love to see this car

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

Nashville's probably the one east coast race we might not be able to make. But we'll see in time.

Also, pics from this weekend will be up later today!
