I undercoated the whole underneath the car and fender wells you can sorta see it in the pic. I recomend it on every car super easy and cheap and it helps with dirt not getting in your eyes when your working under the car. it also helps if u clean every part with a tooth brush like me then paint it but i dont recomend that if you ever plan on drifting soon.

Then you know what happens when you buy a used motor from japan and drive the crap outa it... ROD KNOCK :wtc:

YES i cried myself to sleep for weeks. But i sucked it up and decided to sell the motor and start over with an s14 sr. Why u ask? I have no idea so just dont ask.

Starting all over. heres this mess of metal. it came with 555 cc injectors tuned eliminated maf with a map sensor. i soon found out buying a tuned motor on ebay is a terrible idea.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_6553.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_4764.jpg

I did my usual damn thing with the motor.
Gaskets, clean up, thermostat, water pump, tune up

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_3776.jpg

Jascoed the absolute shit outa this hideous valve cover. such a pain

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_3537.jpg

Heres me and my buddy Garrett (the one with the justin beiber hair) with his new dual car trailer that our friend Albert tagged on. Did up a Garebear and a turbo. Alberts a damn artist.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_4962.jpg

Everything was coming together i finally got it fired up and has some issues with the whole tuned ECU deal tho. It came with the Map sensor but didnt come with an air intake sensor so i went crazy trying to figure it all out, so i finally bought my own intake air temp sensor and wired it in to where the other one looked it was wired. lol i also bought an AEM true boost, terrible choice but its cool. i accidently boosted it to 30 pounds a couple times while testing it. finally ran it at 16 pounds and it ran the best there. such a terrible unorthadox way to do it ill never buy an already tuned motor again. it was fast tho

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_3834.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_5381.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_8326.jpg

It was pretty fast. another teaser filmed through a potato. (And yes these were filmed on closed roads under professional supervision)

Ended up buying an apexi because i still couldnt get it running perfect

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_8730.jpg

So I signed up for a track day at Thunderhill and i had two weeks to get my motor tuned and all ready to go. I plugged in the apexi and wired everything in then brought it down. They pulled 300 Hp and 295 Tq out of it and finally got it running smooth.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...56640890_n.jpg

The weekend of the event came and i Got all my tires together and bought some spare rims. Picked up my trailer and i wanted to take it out for one last run up and down the street before i put it on the trailer. Then BOOM! I lose all my power and smoke starts dumping out the tailpipe. Motors toast oil all over my engine bay. The night before the track day.

Hole in the Piston, cylinder 1. Tell me what you think this looks like it has no signs of detonation or running lean. it literally looks like the piston flakes off.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_8757.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_5198.jpg

So time to rebuild. Safe to say ive learned my lesson, no more buying used motors from across the world where some japanese man has already drifted the sh*t out of it. Any used motor i buy im just going to rebuild from the get go. So i just got some sleaves and ARP studs and im going to get send it off to the machine shop to get started. hopefully it will be done before next season.

Well in the meantime i need something to satisfy my vice so i picked up this s14 for $1000 from by buddy nick. hooked it up. it needs some work but the important part is the motor runs decent. im going to clean everything and make it a good running daily that i can get a little silly in the rain.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56...l/IMG_3256.jpg

So i didnt plan on doing that much work i just wanted to do the 5 speed swap and maybe paint it but then my OCD kicked in and i started going crazy.

I bought all the stuff for the 5 speed swap. Bought coilovers and Energy bushings and the engine gasket rebuild kit.

Thanks a lot man I appreciate it!

finally all done puting the S One Four engine together. Replaced all the gaskets and seals, water pump, thermostat, and all the hoses. Replaced some sensors. Ported the intake manifold and fixed some serious coolant leaks because all my ports were rusting off. Everythings solid now hopefully ill have a good running motor that wont blow up any time soon. It was originally an automatic and it was shifting at like 5 grand at full throttle so this motor couldnt have been beaten on too bad but i think its been overheated a couple times. ohh wellll. Now hopefully ill have everything ready to drop it in next week. i want to put the body harness back in and get all the pedals mounted in because the car was originally an auto. so thats all project for next weekend

I'm a fan of how clean you're keeping everything, and man you rocked the hell out of that black valve cover. Clean and classy.

Thank U! ya i actually really like the blue emerald color, but mine is so faded now it looks like its green. I think im going to paint it gunmetal grey

sorry for such a small update i havent had a chance to work on the car but this weekend im going to get a lot done on it. today i just spent a couple minutes getting the peddles ready to put in. had to weld a spacer on the clutch pedal where the studs go through the fire wall because i bought an s13 clutch pedal and s14 clutch pedals are almost the exact same but they have a 30mm spacer over both studs, where is on the s13 the spacer is on the fire wall .
i had some spacers lying around so i just tacked it on real quick then cleaned up the pedals. i guess u could just stack up washers but i just cant get myself to stack washers

I also wanted to say RIP Paul Walker. My passion for cars began the minute i sat down in the movie theatres at the age of 10 and watched the first Fast and The Furious. I wouldnt be the way i am today if it wasnt for that first spark at 10 years old. Pah i think i originally wanted an automatic mustang before that... So Thank God for Paul Walker and Fast and The Furious 1, otherwise id probably be driving a piece of crap mustang right now.

Dumb question, but where did you get your axles from for your s13? Did you refinish your old ones or buy new ones?

I just cleaned mine up. you can buy better axles on frsport.com but they are pretty expensive. or you can buy new oem ones on ebay for cheap but idk how good the quality is.

i bought remanned axles from oreilly's for about $120 a pair. and here's a catch, LIFE TIME FUCKING WARRANTY.

yeah..you got me good there Oreilly, got me real good.

clean man I have OCD myself lol good stuff car looks sick
