Few pics from Drift Day 44 this weekend at US Air.









Also a screen shot off the tv of some go pro footage. Was my first event to really get a chance to tandem. Will hopefully try to get somewhat of a short clip together sometime soon.

So a few weeks ago at ClubFR Drift Day 44 I was fortunate enough to get plenty of track time. Although I was quick to learn how in adequate my cooling fan setup was. After having to pull off the track every 3 or so runs to let my car cool down, I decided it was time to upgrade my fan setup.

So I did some research and decided the fan setup from a '97 Nissan Altima. Not bad for a $30 find.




Went ahead and purchased the needed relay's, wiring, fuses, and other miscelanious items I would need.

Here is my wiring setup for the fans in my s14. I have the 3 position switch tied into the on/start circuit so that the fans turn off if the key is turned off, because of having a turbo timer. Also since I never had overheating issues with daily driving the car with just the single fan, I set this one up to run a single fan on low, and dual on high.



Here is the fitment in the bay, needed to do plenty of triming to the outside edges of the shroud to get cleance for my oil cooler lines, intercooler piping, intake filter, and power steering lines. Pretty sure I will be having new intercooler piping made this winter, for better fitment.





Wiring setup accessible under the dash.

Haven't updated this much lately, haven't really done much with the car.

Drove it at MAP's Proving Grounds 2013.1 Car ran awesome and had no issues until about an hour before the competition.

So this is the small little issue I had that fucked me over on competing in the drift competition on Sunday at Proving Grounds 2.13.1. Kind of pissed it happened, but oh well.

Broke the clutch master bracket into three pieces.


Some other photos from Proving Grounds 2013.1



















Event was a lot of fun, can't wait for the next one, and for a few other friends to have their cars done or actually come to the event.

Guess I'll see if I can get some cool updates after Chicago next weekend.

Are you still running the stock oil pan and s13 oil pickup? A few guys I know got rod knock from broken pickups and there oil sloshing around. You havent had any issues with that so I was just wondering

Yes stock pickup, I still have the baffle in the pan also. I guess if all of a sudden I noticed I'd lost oil pressure on my gauge I would stop driving the car??

But yeah no issues

Sounds more like the people giving you shit don't know much about what they are talking about.

So at AutoMass my clutch went out after about the first hour of driving. I guess not resurfacing my flywheel before installing it a year and a half ago when didn't help. Shouldn't have rushed it I guess. Anyways event was a absolute blast and am looking forward to the next one.







Unfortunately I needed the car the next weekend for some fun at the Elko Demo. Luckily I had some friend that where able to help me get a clutch (ACT 6 puck unsprung) ordered and installed, resurfaced a flywheel, and got a stock s14 pressure plate in by Thursday night.

(Will add some photos of that when I get a chance, old disc was pretty destroyed)

Few go pro screen grabs from that night, might try to put a small edit together from it.

Cool an update, well kind of

So with the small amount of driving that I did at the last Proving Grounds this is what was going on inside my transmission. Clutch was brand new a week after Automass.

Should have this back up and running this weekend.

Just running a temporary clutch/pressure plate set up to finish out the season and should be upgrading this winter.

All that is left now is to put the trans back in and trim the master cylinder rod for proper length and should be good to go for Shawano. Party on!

Yeah, despite having issues most of the season I've still managed to make it to plenty of events and have at least a little fun.

Here is a clip from Proving Grounds 2013.2 Too bad a gopro makes things seem far away sometimes. Cars where pretty damn close on that first entry.

Just read your whole build and its really inspires me to spend lots of $$ on my drift car haha. I think you are one of the first builds I have been reading that started 2 years ago and still going... most people just sell their builds once they have completed it which baffles me. So thank you for continuing it.

I am looking to upgrade my suspension on my s13 and I haven't really seen one bad review about SPL's. How are they holding up?? I don't make the most $$ so I have to do my mods one at a time, What do you recommend to do first to my suspension? I am only on coilovers at the moment. So I have been thinking about modding the front suspension first then eventually dropping the subframe and installing better bushings, RUCAS...etc (same thing you did)

Thanks, yeah this hobby tends to make you spend plenty of money and I don't plan on quiting any time soon.

For your s13, I love my SPL and have pretty much nothing bad to say about them. I choose SPL for all of my suspension arms because they have great customer service, they actually have a buy back/ percent off when new products come out (I think they do that still), plus I only wanted to buy suspension parts ONCE.

Three thing right away to make sure you have are coils/diff/seat. But as for suspension I would say you have a good idea on what to do. Also maybe look in to some modified knuckles and new tie rod ends as well.

Thank you for the quick response.
I forgot to mention I have those 3 important things haha.
I just read about the SPL outer tie rods I was thinking about doing a 5 finger discount at a junk yard for the z32 inner tie rods however I read that if I was going to get modified knuckles I would need stock s14 inners. So I should just mod the knuckles right when I upgrade outer/inner tie rods.

Going through so many clutches this season has been lame, but as of right now I have fixed that issue so hopefully my current setup will last.



But right now I've got about 250 miles on a new ACT 6-puck Unsprung Clutch Disc along with a new Heavy Duty Pressure plate without really going into boost or putting any excessive driving on it.



CAN NOT WAIT FOR DD46, rain or shine its going to be a blast.
