This is one of the builds i am excited for!! Curious to see how the RHD swap goes! There's a guy out my way that converted his (Look up "Glowshift") s14 back to LHD. The car is LS swapped. i think there was clearance issues of some sort if i remember correct, that was in 2015/16

Great build

Thanks to you bro!

Thanks man, yours is coming along so nicely I gotta keep up with the bar! I have seen that one before, it’s nuts. There’s a lot of stuff that is more kind to the LHD platform on the LS but nothing out of reach. I’ll be using Sikky RHD headers that just came out so excited about that, in combination with a MSD shorty starter. I’ll have more updates real soon, just purchased materials to get the ball rolling body wise.

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words.

Have you done the RHD wiring yet? I pm'd you on what I did for turn signal wiring when I converted my s13 like 10 years ago. It's super easy and there's no need to extend any turn signal plug wiring.

Raul,

Thanks for the assistance so far, will be using this in the very near future.

While the 240 is with JP, the Altezza will be getting some much overdue love. Maybe ill toss a photo of it every now and then in here. Just got these Ganadors wrapped to match. Maybe its cliche but I just love the way Ganadors look over any other aftermarket mirrors.

https://i.imgur.com/yqzTNrLl.jpg

GANADOR FOREVER!

Excited for the progress dude! It's going to be gooood.

Update 11/25/19

Glass is out...finally time for the fun! Cant wait to show you guys more!

https://i.imgur.com/s143zOSl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/bwqBRtGl.jpg

Also got the Altezza V2 look done, saucy.

https://i.imgur.com/oZ8tl4ml.jpg

you like advan ver.2 wheels?

Depends, on the 3 spoke I prefer forged 1 piece over the 2/3 piece. The S14 will be getting some new johnnies very soon! More to come on those, keeping it quiet for now.

Update 11/30/19

https://i.imgur.com/RtGyYyIl.jpg

RHD firewall trimmed to whats needed. More updates from my boy JP at J&V Auto body here in socal! Cant wait to get started on this thing!

https://i.imgur.com/DSvBOA0l.jpg

Getting sooooo good.

Altezza update....

https://i.imgur.com/eju2T7pl.jpg?1

Got the 165mm pulley..shooting for 200hp haha.

welp, thats the point of no return cut right there! gonna be awesome when finished for sure! i'm sure you have plans to re-paint the bay, but what about the the body, even though "its not a show car"? haha.

Lol yea man! When I saw it a tear shed honestly lol. The “relax, irs not a show car” simply implied I have plans to drive it. I am not cutting corners but I wanna enjoy the car and not solely for shows. It’s getting the S15 front face lift, tons of JDM S14 interior goodies like full green light package, S14 HUD, and other stuff. Full engine bay paint, interior paint, outer paint with new moldings and what have you. Oh and finish supercharging the LS. Going RHD brings some adversities to the LS platform.

However...thank you Black Friday, full Sikky kit will be here this week!

Howre you sourcing the door mouldings and other mouldings for the S14?

Nissanparts on Instagram has most of the moldings. They go in/out of stock a lot, I purchased a while back and have been stock piling knowing I’ll need it later.

Update 12/8/19

Removed the sound deadening with dry ice yesterday.

https://i.imgur.com/22FXK72l.jpg

Car is getting inside and bay sanded down for paint and the new sheet metal.

pm'd about the bracket!! still excited to see this come to life!!

Update 12/30/19

So much good stuff so far, firewall is tack welded in just touching up final fitment.

https://i.imgur.com/L1CTjtbl.jpg

Same for core support and hood fitment. I was not aware the differences in the S15 and S14 hood hinges, I tried to space it up but decided to buy the correct hinges so now I have to wait. For now heres some more fun stuff...

https://i.imgur.com/nL0WhQZl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/PHG36JEl.jpg

Also some fun with the Altezza, hit a local cars and kegs event at a brewery in Anaheim.

https://i.imgur.com/rmfbcA9l.jpg

Gonna slap this new one on and then a retune!

https://i.imgur.com/UmEM1QLl.jpg

Yea man should fit perfect, I’m staying 100% oem body parts with factory metals.

No aftermarket aero here, just not my style in these cars.

Update 1/4/2020

Happy New Years Everyone!

The car is finally back home!!!!!! So awesome to see the RHD firewall completed and the S15 core support. My buddy JP at J&V Auto Body absolutely killed it! I couldn't be happier with it and it's not even painted yet.

https://i.imgur.com/TWQwtQIl.jpg?1

https://i.imgur.com/YBuCIv5l.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/gaZVGmXl.jpg

Now it's time to install the motor on the Sikky mounts, put the super charger on and the other random odds and bits to get it ready for the fab work. Still waiting on some parts to arrive from New Zealand and Russia for the remainder of sheet metal pieces.

Update 1/8/20

Nothing new on the chassis yet, however parts to make this as clean and oem as possible keep showing up.

https://i.imgur.com/UtX0olAl.jpg

The Altezza has been keeping me busy, the new S/C setup was engineered for a VW bug so the alignment of the belts is off. Have to modify the custom hub.

https://i.imgur.com/UECNR6El.jpg

Cut the outer housing off the snout for the S/C since now going to a fixed pulley setup. Waiting for my machinist to give me back the hub that will be moved inward.

https://i.imgur.com/EBiivyTl.jpg

This going to be a s14.5?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, but full metal conversion. The thought of fiberglass makes me itch...

Update 1/16/20

Received the last pieces of the RHD metal that I needed to make this as OEM as possible. My buddy from NZ mailed me the RHD dash bar and RHD E-brake lever mount for the trans tunnel.

https://i.imgur.com/DBDZ2RFl.jpg

Drilled the spot welds out of the bracket and removed the bracket from the cut section he mailed me. Also sanded down the dash bar as it was rusty probably from its time in a junkyard. Primed it with rust protector and then some black paint. Should have some progress on this thing over the weekend.

Altezza Update (if anyone is even following this part haha)

Got the new S/C on the car, took some modifications of the pulley for belt alignment but its working great. Dyno is this weekend, I also decided to replace all the ignition coils with OEM goodness. Installed an IS300 Koyo radiator in with no issues, just some new holes on the radiator mounting straps up top. Aiming for over 200BHP.

https://i.imgur.com/qdr9w0rl.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/BaPdevAl.jpg

Update 1/29/20

Got the RHD dash bar painted finally and was able to test fit.

OEM RHD E-Brake bracket

https://i.imgur.com/AiwuGEml.jpg

New S15 bumper retainer going to use along with my SF bash bar to make the retainer still functional.

https://i.imgur.com/B6UqjD5l.jpg

Test fitted the Chasebay tucked rad, going to wait till motor is in on the Sikky mounts before I cut to ensure I know how far in is needed.

https://i.imgur.com/4SQvZIhl.jpg

Slapped on the new Quiktime Bellhousing to make those clutch changes far easier.

https://i.imgur.com/JfEMcf2l.jpg

Unfortunately this is how the car sits currently, plan to get back on it very soon.

https://i.imgur.com/CULP1S5l.jpg

New steps are:
-Motor/trans mated just for mockup and then installed into chassis.
-Install intercooler
-Install Supercharger

Then off to fab work for piping and other odd bits and ends.

Update 2/5/20

So back to the "cheapest swap to do" :picardfp:

Cut the core support to make it removable for future use, will be using rivnuts and welding some tabs on the cut portion to make sure I can secure it down correctly.

https://i.imgur.com/vwER7P1l.jpg

Money Shot :snoop:

https://i.imgur.com/hkFmn6Il.jpg

Gotta finish the bag install on the Altezza, then I am going to drop the Sikky oil pan on and mount it in the car for fab work. Should be in for paint very soon!

Yo this dope! I like the removable core support idea. Clean work no doubt. Looking forward to more progress.

Thanks man, finally over being sick so I should have some good updates soon. I need to get this to fab work ASAP so I can get it back to my buddy JP for paint.

Saw ur post n said woot, UPDATES......clicked n i cried lol excited to see progress on this build

Lol my fault man. Had to post the pic just to show all my shit parts and how cheap my build is bro. I’m gonna be tinkering again this weekend on the s14.

All I see is $ on this build! I remember when my car was like that. almost there though!

Update 2/23/20!

Major progress :naughtyd:

Old pan was removed, cleaned out all the bolt holes with a bottom tap and prepped the bottom of the motor for the Sikky goodness.

https://i.imgur.com/TNoVkgbl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/PmVeiIUl.jpg

Just have to do a few more touches and it's finally off to fabwork. Getting stoked to see this thing finally come to life. Soon once its painted I will start retrofitting the HUD to the S14 dash and trying to start figuring out the wiring.

Its about god dam time for an update.... goooddd shittzzzz

Thanks man. It’s finally coming together just have so many things to do and never have enough time. Will be installing a few more random bits but otherwise it’s ready for the fab work.

Update 2/28/20

https://i.imgur.com/dptbTJNl.jpg

RHD ignition cylinder rekeyed to match my car.

https://i.imgur.com/sUrCKFJl.jpg

Little S15 mockup.

Super happy with the status of the car, got the mount kit all sorted with Sikky. Honestly just trying to get the odds and ends on the car before next weeks fabrication visit.

Have to buy oval exhaust materials and then get the car over to my buddy for full exhaust. I should have some more solid update on this guy very soon!

This is gonna be nice

What are you doing with the fenders and the body lines?

Thanks man!

In regards to the S15 front, we’re gonna graft a S14 fender and S15 fender to keep the body line of the S14 while also removing some items. Honestly the goal is no fiberglass! Can’t stand how wavy and shit aftermarket kits looks. In regards to body styling oem will always reign over aero.

Thats the right way todo it. Gonna be sweet.

What color u going with in the bay?

Following along. This build is so wrong it's right. Huge props for making a car for you and not caring what anyone else thinks.

Thanks man, gonna go with a grey engine bay/interior.

Hey thanks man, appreciate the kind words. Yea life’s too short to care what everyone thinks on the internet, especially about a car. Just got the final pieces of the exhaust in, gonna go over this week and put headers on and get it ready for transport. The rain is hindering my plans, I have so much exposed metal I’m afraid to tow it during rain. Either way I’ll have more photos by Wednesday.

Update 3/10/20

All of the exhaust/intercooler components have arrived finally.

https://i.imgur.com/lWqlaGKl.jpg

~Exhaust
Sikky RHD Headers 3" Vband
3" to 3.5" Oval Vibrant SS Pipe for Y Pipe
Vibrant Ti 3.5" In/Out Muffler with Titanium Vband

~Intercooler
3" polished tubing
Aluminum Transitions for Supercharger In/Out.


Hope to have the car to fabricator soon, Socal is being hit with a shit ton of rain so I don't want to move the car with so much exposed metal. Plans for tomorrow are getting the headers on, mounting the ignition cylinder so I can lock the column for towing, and capping off all the motor fluid ports.

you're gonna love that vibrant exhaust note.
i love mine. i'm slightly jealous of that burnt titanium tip....may have to change mine soon.

Thanks man! I listened to a few videos of them on LS swapped vehicles, loved the note from the Titanium. I figured since going all the way this time might as well get the extras haha.

Update 3/11/20

So much good stuff...

Finally installed the Sikky RHD V2 headers, absolutely love the fitment (although its tight) of header to chassis and also where steering shaft passes through is perfect.

S15 Hood dropped off by my boy JP at JV Auto body. Threw it on, I am going to have to hike it up or maybe vent the hood due to supercharger outlet location.

https://i.imgur.com/LjglTZEl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/9Y6EoEAl.jpg

I wont have much to do on this thing other than acquire more parts until its done with fab work. Hopefully that'll happen in the next few weeks.

Update 3/24/20

Decided to move to the Chase Bays remote PS reservoir setup, this required me to move to the Corvette pump. Pretty straight forward and the pulley is much more appealing visually so bonus.

https://i.imgur.com/wAAO5Tql.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/6Cstezhl.jpg

Loads of relief as the CAR IS FINALLY AT FAB SHOP!!!!

Dropped the car off yesterday at Speed Socal (formally known as Mckinney Motorsports) for I/C piping, exhaust, sheet metal and a few more things.

https://i.imgur.com/x31ptYYl.jpg

While the car is at the shop, I decided to pull out some parts and start trying to figure this S14 HUD shit out. So far I've gone through many threads years ago on here about some info but most photos links are dead.

I have acquired A S14 HUD projector (Kouki I belive) and one Kouki HUD cluster and one Zenki HUD cluster. The Zenki cluster is more complete in my eyes because it has the module mounted to the back with pigtails. I however don't have the subharness that goes between and sourcing one I'm sure will be almost impossible. I'm gonna start going through the JDM manuals to try and find anything.

https://i.imgur.com/Rd8cqTkl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/mh6dN0nl.jpg?1

Also need some help on this, I do not have the connection/pigtail that plugs into the projector. It's a flat 20 pin style, I am currently going through Nissan tech manual for connectors but no luck yet.

https://i.imgur.com/Et8kW7Ol.jpg

Once the car is back and all painted, can't wait to get the full JDM green lighting package in!

https://i.imgur.com/8HPn8Xwl.jpg

I should be getting the car back Thursday or Friday so I will have some real progress for anyone still following along.

FUCK THIS CORONA VIRUS SHIT.

3/24/20 Pt. 2

Just got these in tonight from the shop :wackit::wackit::wackit:

https://i.imgur.com/D8eQdETl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/cBXFpuul.jpg

Great progress so far.
Can't help you much with the HUD stuff, but i did find the plug housing for the projector.
It's a Yazaki 91 Connector A Type Housing 20P Female #7283-8601-40

Thanks man!! That does help a lot. I?m now looking to see where else it?s used. Most places that have it in stock want orders of ten or more.

Should have more updates on the car tonight as they are now working on the oval exhaust.

Another option is to find a Kouki Silvia dash harness. I'm pretty sure that all Koukis were prewired for HUD, but just taped up the unused plugs for unequipped cars. Just checked my Kouki harness and both the projector and cluster plugs were there.

That?s pretty neat, but I assume this would be JDM harnesses only correct?

Correct.

Also, I was incorrect. Its Yazaki part #7283-8600.

Update 3/28/20

Okay so Agamemnon was correct on the factory plugs!!!! I am not sure if the HUD unit for the S14 Kouki is all integrated but it appears so. The two missing connections are on the harness for the cluster and HUD projector.

https://i.imgur.com/iFTikNDl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/g7rBlUkl.jpg?1

https://i.imgur.com/POd7fN2l.jpg?1

Played around with just the light bulb to get it to display.

https://i.imgur.com/1v40MSml.jpg

Also the new Link ECU showed up with the plug and play adapter from Mark Panic. Absolutely love the Link platform I have it on the Altezza as well. This should pair nicely with my Chase Bays Milspec harness.

https://i.imgur.com/xnN39H6l.jpg

Car should be back from the fab shop this upcoming week, then I can really get moving on the progress towards painting. Looking to paint and do the full s15 fender conversion in June once the body shop is freed up.

Does anyone here have a JDM S14 Kouki combination meter wiring pinout? All the ones off Nicoforum advertise as S14A but show the Zenki cluster (can tell by connector type, number of connections, and the drawing of the clusters and gauge location).

Update 3/30/20

Updates from Speed Socal.

Intercooler mount and piping is all finished up, Vortech bypass valve is in place on the lower left bumper opening. Removable core support has been affixed, and holes in the chassis and RHD ebrake mount has been welded on.

https://i.imgur.com/lCjjpesl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/rMt2wdtl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/wsJeU6Tl.jpg

Exhaust is being finished up at the moment, hopefully I'll get it back it back Wednesday if all goes as planned (<---HAHA.)

Once its back, I will proceed with cutting the core support to fit the Chase Bay radiator setup.

Update 4/1/20

Car is back from Speed Socal!!!! :drama::drama::drama:
Cant thank Andy enough, they did a great job and went above and beyond for other stuff.

Need to mount Chase Bay radiator setup and grind down S/C bracket for hood clearance. Once that is completed, I'll tear it apart and its off to paint.

Update 4/7/20

Removed the upper bracket for the super charger mount and removed unneeded material for hood clearance.

https://i.imgur.com/L63tJBNl.jpg?1

Just waiting on a few parts in the mail for the hood bumpers to get the appropriate hood gap. I am going to have to space the hood up slightly to gain a little more clearance for the hood to super charger area.

I will be doing a few things here and there but now I will start removing engine and trans to start stripping back down for paint.

Update 4/12/20

FUCK COVID!!!!! Had my mom help me yesterday on the car...love the family bonding time.

Motor is back out, going in for engine bay and interior cabin paint tomorrow morning.

This is one of the best tools I've ever purchased. The one in the photo is the newest 3/8" with about 70ft of torque more than the previous. I own two, should definitely get one.

Extremely happy to be here at this step. The car will be going back in June for the final body work and S15 grafting on the fenders. Going to install some interior parts and motor back in and get as far as I can on this while I'm waiting for the paint.

Shout out to your mom for helping you work on the car. My mom would tell me to go fly a kite if I asked for help.

Very nice color choice on the engine compartment.

LOL!!! Yea she likes to come see whats going on sometimes, which ends up being "hey, can you grab that"? haha.

Update 4/17/20

After

https://i.imgur.com/mMk3d6Ol.jpg

Laid out some Fatmat on the front half of the car, put all the HVAC components in and the firewall insulation mat.

https://i.imgur.com/qwFGgZSl.jpg

Brake master and pedal installed, clutch slave and pedal installed along with the throttle cable.

https://i.imgur.com/IHLOcxul.jpg

In the process of setting up the Mcleod clutch and Tilton throwout bearing, should be getting motor and trans back into the car by end of weekend. Then its off to paint on tuesday.

https://i.imgur.com/iq2SP59l.jpg

Progress is moving fast on this thing, excited to get more done and have it back on the road.

Update 4/18/20

Got some more work done on the car tonight, routed the dash harness and started plugging in the HVAC components.

https://i.imgur.com/BHUrJmPl.jpg

I also did alot of research on the differences between the DEI Gold Vs. Silver. Found out that silver actually has better reflective heat properties that the gold does. The silver also flows much better with my engine bay. I also ran out, so I will need to get more and finish up the areas I want extra in.

https://i.imgur.com/wgu3aOzl.jpg

Had a slight delay with the clutch setup, didnt know I had the single disc set hardware, ordered the twin disc hardware from Mcleod but due to COVID I'm sure I wont see it till end of the week. This means to have the car to paint hopefully by weekend.

Update 4/23/20

Made a bunch of progress on the car with some time off I took at work.

https://i.imgur.com/vG8IEDQl.jpg

Got the PRW Hi-Flow water pump on, i welded a 20AN fitting to the inlet and put 12AN on the heater hose openings.

https://i.imgur.com/EqF7iGOl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/1Rfw9eYl.jpg

McLeod twin disc clutch mounted up, Quicktime bellhousing for easier removal and access. Also got the ZL1 3.5 Bar map sensor installed.

Once again mom came in for the win and helped me get it back in the car.

https://i.imgur.com/OF68T2Bl.jpg

Got all the bells and whistles on the car in order to get it in for paint. Started playing with the Chase Bays Milspec harness.

https://i.imgur.com/TNwjxTzl.jpg

Car is now at JV Auto with JP for exterior paint and final body work!!!!!!!

https://i.imgur.com/AdjAlPpl.jpg

Have a few issues to sort with the LS engine and RHD. One being the clutch master cylinder is extremely close to the RH head. I cant use the wilwood I had while LHD. I'm working with just over 2" of room. Right now the Chase Bays solution is still too far forward, Sikky has a solution in the works but no ETA and I have another route that I might look into for now. Ill keep this updated on that part incase anyone else runs into it.

I will have photos soon of the S14.5 metal fender conversion, that is next along with body panel alignment.

I think mother's day is coming up pretty soon, you better get your mom something nice! Haha

The car is coming along nicely. I'm looking forward to the S14.5 updates!

Good progress

Have you driven a RHD car before this conversion?

It will be quite a ride especially with the LS

Yea man she's already rubbing it in hard too haha!! Thank you, we're on the fender grafting portion now. The goal is to retain the factory s14 body line and delete the s15 marker light. I'm gonna have an update tonight on this thing.

Yes I have an Altezza that I drive about 2 days a week (or whenever I can really) so I won't say I'm an expert but very comfortable doing so. The power and handling of the 240 is way different than my sedan of course so it will take some adjusting.

Update 4/27/20

The car is at the body shop getting the metal fender conversion done at the moment. Sort of resembles a frankenstein...

Absolutely loving the front end look.

I cleaned up the RHD wiper motor and sprayed it.

Also moving forward with the tuning the car will be utilizing speed density over MAF so I purchased a thread in IAT sensor. I had the machinist at work whip me up a bung and got it welded into the hot pipe.

Spoke to a buddy overseas with a S15 LS2 and got my clutch master issue resolved. He utilized a Volkswagon European model vehicle's master and drilled new holes in the firewall to fit it. One other key feature of how compact the master is the factory remote reservoir which I may just plumb into my brake master. I took apart the Sikky Wilwood adapter plate and popped out the studs. I plan to make new holes when the new clutch master arrives from the UK and then weld the studs in place.

I hope to have more updates on the fender conversion soon!

I was at a car show years ago and saw some fiberglass s14.5 fenders that’s looked fantastic with some work

Any chance to go glass instead of metal?

Not a chance in hell...:coold:

Had to dig some parts out and stumbled upon this NOS Tomei brake master I will install once car is back.

Stumbled accross the media blaster we have at work, decided to use is on my RHD wiper arms that were super rusty and my valve covers that need some modifications.

Left is 1 pass, right is original.

2 passes.

Had the wiper arms powder coated in a satin black to match OE.

Valve cover will need 10AN bung welded on for the catch can setup, but also found this awesome oil filler adapter 10AN fitting for the other side.

I will have more photos of the car completed soon, but will not post a color photo of the switch until I have some decent pics of it. Follow along!

Nice! Already in primer! Excitebike

What is the plan for the hood?

Stock s15 ? Or scooped type?

Extremely! I?m trying not to bug my paint guy....lol

Yea man stock s15 hood. I?m not sure you noticed yet but I?m thriving to keep all oem stuff here. As long as engine temps permit me to keep running that hood I will. Even then if not I?d try small ducting or cuts in the hood before a scoop again.

This is going to be awesome once complete.

JV Auto doing some of his best work...:love::love::love:

I have so many updates parts wise on this but I cant post yet cause of the color reveal. I will have some updated photos soon!

Thank you, I am not sure when "complete" will actually be complete. My main goals for this year are to have it put back together from paint wise and running. I have many other interior things and wiring to sort through so that will be the biggest hurdle.

I like this

Thoughts about upgrading to the advan version 2 ?

I had yours at one point but found it was a pain to polish the lips

Oh yea man, I will forever love these rims and they?re not going anywhere.

With that being said...the car already has a new set of wheels I acquired almost a year ago in spark of this build. Once I get some photos of everything on I?ll post them. The car had been painted!!! Excited to have some new stuff to put on here!

Post it !!!

I?ll have photos of the rims up tonight :D

Car will be getting picked up this upcoming Saturday unless we run into any issues.

I love those wheels!!!!!!

My man. Delivering the goods. Those are some very handsome wheels

Major Update!!!! 5/12/2020

Finally, My Vision Is Surfacing. So many things I have to say on this project. It has been such a journey to start. There were so many changes in direction, setbacks, and unseen circumstances that caused this build to take time (Testing my impatience). Thank you to all of those who have helped push me and had their hands on this car.

Full OEM metal and plastic conversion. JP absolutely killed it. The S14.5 conversion fenders came out exactly as we wanted. The color is spot on from what I chose, so many options and going over it and over it again. The plan now is to start getting the smaller stuff on and interior back in before we have glass. Still have more updates soon!

Well done well done
