Nice ride, I love the wheels. I think they'd look better on my car... j/k. Yes, shave the wing. Either do that or get a Trial monsta ghetto wing! Tune it and take it out to the track!

oh.............my...........god.........

thats close to what every s14 should look like imho, tastefully done, and its got way more than enough power to back it up

hellaz props to ya

i think i might sell my s13 and go s14 sometime...

IMHO, a Vertex bodykit would be too much for your wheels. If you do get the kit, get lower offset wheels, or just use some spacers on those... I would do a cheaper more durable option though...

get an OEM kouki S14 (jdm) front bumper and optional uerethane lip. Keep the sideskirts, and ditch the wing. That would look the sexiness.

if u get the oem front bumper, you definately need the rear. without it just looks a$$ funky.

yeah offset would be cooler if lower. sunken in too would be sweet
but you got a good deal, so no worries.
looks good. :) what tire size you go with btw?

If you're looking for a spoiler, get the Kouki S14 one. They're so clllleeean and nice looking....

BTW, your car is my dream car. :bowdown:

If anything they look more like 16s than 18s. 18s are big and you can tell.

Nice car, very clean, and ya those Skyline bumper look alikes are getting a little played out, Vertex would look nice, Go for it!.

Good luck with the car and the store

Thats real nice, score another one for the kouki club. I like the bumper style, but the VIS one is not as fat and includes the grille too, should have bought that one. Instead of getting a kit I would just put the oem bumper back on and get the front lip, thats what I did and I LOVE it. Like they said above too, get the kouki spec K wing. I ordered mine from silviaparts.com - the guy was real nice and has great service, $249 shipped from hong kong.

No, to copy me now, you'd need double sticky tape all over the rear lid of your car. I really do gota get that off and put the GP stuff on! I might copy your wheels. Gota love the TE's.

Maybe it is just me, but I would like to see the intercooler in ebony myself.

I am certain it would not make any real difference in air temp being black.

Other than that, It is a beautiful car. Makes me want to get a 97 or 98...love the shape of the hood to headlights..looks like godzilla.


Great job on engine...you clear coat it?

well last motor went 11.89

this motor with the Super 60 turbo should make little over 450rwhp and i should get the times down to mid 11's. But this car has been nothing but headaches for the past two years I have had it. if it runs 12's all day long i really dont care. i am more happy it is drivable right now than anything. Although it does leave a puff of blue smoke upon startup:( But o well.

I am not running coilovers right now. I have a set of Tein ready to go in but just havent had time to deal with the suspension now. I am always tinkering with the motor.

I have the Eibach sportlines to get my by for now

Ya i saw that one under the Falken tent. I was talking to the owner, he was a dick. He was talking out of his *** like i didnt know anything. He was like "ya this was a special edition 240 in the states that came with an SR20 so ya i got lucky,"!!
I was like WHAT!!!! do you need to get punched in the face?!!??

Has anyone had problems with the fitment or cracking?

I assume it uses the stock holes correct?

SR240SXT
07-12-2003, 05:50 AM
the fitment was perfect on stock SE/LE wing holes. You only will use two holes. There will be 3 holes left over that need plugging. It uses and outside hole on each side and for some reason the right side has 2 holes leftover. I just stuck ducktape on the underside of the trunk until I get time to fill it in. The single screws are very strong but I got some very sticky double sided tape and did the whole footprint of the spoiler, its on real solid that way. But yeah everything looks and fits perfect.
