"Koukimonster" s14 build thread

[driftwhat]

Well Ive been cruising this forum for about 5 years now and always wanted an s14.... One day that all came true!!

Now im sitting on my couch waiting for the snow to fly tonite as predicted and cruizing along I thought to myself why dont I make a build thread for my car....... So here it is!!

I got my car on a trade for a crotch rocket I had. Needless to say I added a lil bit of cash on top of the deal so it was a sure thing!

The car when I got her was a bone sotck 98 usdm s14, only exception was that it had a sr20 swap with a greddy front mount and an alluminum no name rad and also came with a white jdm bumper. The thing about the car was that it didnt run right, the kid that had it before me beat the shit out of it and therefore the turbo was f*cked spilling oil into the ic pipes etc etc...

Here are some pics of the car when I first got it. Please excuse the TERRIBLE ride height.

I then ordered a set of Megan Track coilovers and picked up a set of 19x9.5 +24 19x10.5 +27 Work meisters

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/17157_472005635226_682445226_11017537_400127_n.jpg

The Coilovers took a while to show up seeing on how we live up in the great white north, so the wheels and bumper went on first.

After getting sick of looking at it and getting no where with the turbo problems I took it to a friends house and we started tinkering with it, meanwhile his brother was planning on building his rusty zenki s14 into a 1jz powered drift car... One night after a couple beers and swear words on how my turbo was shit the brother piped up and offered a strait swap for the 1jz with a r154 trans and mounts that he already ordered, for my sr...... I must say god was smiling down on me that night, I hummed and hawed about it cause I didn't know much about them and after my friend nudging me to do it, the handshake was consumed and the deal was done... so the swap began!!

After starting the swap the coilovers finally showed up so we put them in as well, this next pic is before any pulling was done in the rear.

After losing my job the car sat for a couple moths with wiring that needed to be done etc etc, after getting back to work and having flow coming in the work started up again on the car, next was finishing up the wiring...

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/44285_10150254232900142_864990141_14432801_8110217 _n.jpg

Thanks to my buddy Mike and Steve and me soaking up there knowledge
the wiring was finished up!!

I had the car out for a month or 2 befoire going away again but it was nice to have for a lil while, I put it into one of the last car shows before the summer was over and got alot of good hype from it, of course there were the haters that commented on the zip ties and shit but what can I say.... It was a work in progress!!

Here are some of the show pics

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/75632_10150308896385142_864990141_15616889_3469856 _n.jpg

I used 94 integra turn signals flipped upside down for turn signals mostly cause the jdm lights were a lil hard to find... but I do have some now!!

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/150057_10150308896680142_864990141_15616896_611328 _n.jpg

So another winter came and I thought I wanted to try out the drifting side of things so I put the Works up for sale, they sold pretty quick and I picked up a set of 18x9 +10 18x10 +8 AME's. I dont remember what kind they were and needless to say I could careless...... They were cracked when I got them.... Heres a pic of the wheels.

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/183091_10150412434215142_864990141_17387529_639790 0_n.jpg

I was not impressed with the wheels when I got them from a contact from Japan so I setteled until spring when the cracks were noticed, The contact I dealt with was very apoligetic and after a couple of months we finally worked out a deal, heres a pic of the car how it was run untill the deal was met. Lucky for me my friend Steve had a set of gramlights kickin around that he wasnt using...

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/227447_10150607782430142_864990141_18723856_355532 6_n.jpg

I sold my jdm bumper and usdm skirts and ordered a body kit but once again tradegy struck!! The tsunami hit japan and parts were getting hard to get a hold of again... Finally somthing went right and my wheel contact came through I ended up paying an extra couple bucks givng him back my AME'S and picked up a set of 19x8 19x10 +8 Allgeron Oltega wheels, and WOW did it ever change up the apperance!!

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/248815_10150631321540142_864990141_18986837_476419 2_n.jpg

I also installed a knock off roof wing, hate the way it fits but what can you ask for with knock off junk, LOOKING for a dmax one if anyone is interestred in shipping one to Canada LEMME KNOW!!!!

http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/306448_10150754305770142_864990141_20345392_803060 3_n.jpg

Heres fittment with the new wheels and a lil bit of pull in the rear

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/268565_10150675572030142_864990141_19356900_261034 5_n.jpg

I got a hold of some gauges and did a lil bit of custom install I think it looks pretty good! I removed the heater controls and mounted them below the cd player and mounter the 3 gauges in the stock heater control location... seems to be working well!

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/251100_10150626920690142_864990141_18930007_314865 2_n.jpg

I waited all summer for my kit, and it never showed I drove the car out to Kelowna BC to meet up with some friends and check out a drift event. I ended up leaving the car out there instead of driving back there to park it for winter to get painted....... Of course the day I left the Vertex kit showed up!!!

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/296721_10150285529622815_505207814_7843126_3176537 20_n.jpg

[shevinkool]

[dontxploitme]

if you're not tucking 19's you're doing it wrong

[harangatang]

Are you running a stock rear end?
I know the 4.083 is pretty high for a 1j lol. Been trying to find out what others are using.. cause I want a 1j too :)

[ManoNegra]

car peaked, downhill since

[oki2001]

The car looks clean man, keep up the good work. Love the rims. You never said anything about regretting the SR/1J swap, but then again your friend made a good decision for you. What are your power goals? I have a Single PT-67 turbo on my 2j and it has a “Seat of the pants” tune putting down around 550. [email protected] is fun, good luck.

[arty]

nice ride bro! really diggin those wheels keep up the good work.

[colombianbryan]

loved it from the beginning to middle... not crazy about the rest, maybe later! not judging on your taste keep it up

[7evil]

Fabulous project !!

[tricky_ab]

I'll be following this build for sure!!!

[driftwhat]

Apperciate the props, I know it may "peaked" at the stock (jdm) look and I was really diggin it at first... Untill I saw pictures like this,,,,

I wanna tuck my 19's!!!! lol Was gonna just pull but my drivers side rear quarter has be mashed at some point before ownership so im gonna go the overfender route.

Rear end wise im running a q45 diff with 3:69 gear set. Thinking or re gearing that diff to a 3:13 wanna get more highway wangan time in!!

The diff swap is pretty simple to do if you can find a Infinity q45 at the wrecker your set.

DIFF SWAP -

All Infiniti Q45's came with VSLD differentials, making this a great upgrade for those looking to upgrade to R230 durability without having to modify the S13/S14 subframe.

The 90-96 Q45 had a 3.54 final gear, and the 97-01 had a 3.69.

Then source out some rear r32 gtr axles. driver and passenger side

Believe it or not its pretty easy to swap if your doing it in an s14 you dont have to swap over your diff cover. Just bolt it all in

Swap your yoke off your stock diff and replace the q45 diff with your stock one. No drilling or anything needed!!

Make sure you keep the bolts for the axles, as they are a bigger axle they need the hardware they came with... as I found out by using my stock hardware from my car they came lose and lost a few and popped an axle out!!!:bite:


I definitly don't regret my swap from sr to 1jz I love it and should be pushin 400hp next spring, parts list is soon to follow of my turbo setup!!

Updates to follow!!

:werd:

It was looking awesome before you ditched the works and went with the no names

[tricky_ab]

The front bar look a lot more like Uras type 4 and less Vertex.

It works for me... :)

[driftwhat]

Well after some reserch and forum browsing I noticed the seller I bought my kit from had the rest of the uras kit and sent me the wrong rear and sides... After chatting with him and realizing the mistake I should have the proper uras type 4 rear and sides to match the front!!!

-Hx40 with pro 60mm inducer bulls eye performance .70 a/r turbo housing
-1jz manifold fully braced
-3" downpipe (v-band) with v band o2 sensor and egt bungs
-Tial 44mm wastegate
-4" k&n filter with slowboy vented catch can
-Greddy type s bov
-Custom 280 degree cams with shims and fresh arp head studs
-Turbo feed and drain lines with adapters

Still debating on managment, any ideas??

[Twinkies!]

car looks really good, the ssr's look good, but what happened to the 19's and tucking?

[driftwhat]

Not ssr's, new work meister s1r's Ill be in the game of tucking 18's when the 11.5's show up! Still wanna tuck!!

[240 sideways]

Whos S13.5 is that? any more pics of it for a fellow canadian?

[jdm_greg]

I think thats Cody from Drift Squad?

[240 sideways]

Yeah, i thought i recognized it from DUI, where you there by the way? seeing as it was pretty close to you? we need more events like that, so sick.

[driftwhat]

Yeah thats Cody from drift squad. I can get some more pics tonite of it! Don't think you saw him at the dui though...

[Brandon_240]

Love those Work Meisters! IMO more camber in the rear and slammed to the ground would be flawless! Are you gonna upload the wedding photos with the car? I think you should :)

[240 sideways]

Might not of, but there was a white S13.5 in the midst of all the havoc. hows the married life btw? haha

[driftwhat]

Couldnt get much of wedding pics with the car cause it decided to piss rain EVERYTIME we went to do car pics :( I would love to slam it to the ground but its not in the options right now with the new wheels being so wide up front. Looks like im going to be doing a tub over the winter up front!

[driftwhat]

Finally got around to re doing the exhaust after doing the single swap!

[jasonkmills]

Are you really leaving the exhaust like that?

[silviavert]

nice build

[driftwhat]

Leave the exhaust like what? It looks like its sticking out way further than it actually is.

[Mofuhcka]

Can no one respect this style? Hahah I love it man keep it up

[driftwhat]

Can no one respect this style? Hahah I love it man keep it up


Thanks man! I do appreciate the love, seem to be alot of hate for somethings I have done in the past with the car.... But you live and learn right! It's mine and I love the road ive gone down with it!:Ownedd:

[g_mac530]

Car looks great man! How is the clearance on your exhaust? Looks like it's tucked up pretty good, was just curious though because I haven't seen too many low 1j swapped cars.

[Junior x]

Baller status!! Hahah loving this build

Clearance is EXCELLENT now! I wanna go lower but need to do some mods this winter to fit the wheels, got some inner tire rub

[driftwhat]

Fall is here in Canada and the leaves are changing. Parking the car soon but gotta get some fall photos done first!

How is the turning with 10.5? and are you running 20mm over fender on the front?

[driftwhat]

Custom stock front fender built it out to prolly a 20mm. Rubs a bit on the inside when at full crank.
