strip the wheels back to metallic finish, and run vertex aero all around!

hypercrush · 02-17-2011, 09:27 AM

that would be going backwards, car doesnt need "aero". it looks good OEM style and slammed. im gonna steal it one day

s14pit · 02-17-2011, 09:39 AM

Yes I am a fan of no aero real factory look and slammed.

JohnnyDrfiter22 · 02-17-2011, 10:08 AM

S14pit, is there any other mods that need to be done to run S14 LCA's and what are the advantages is it because they are longer?

Also Great build, such a difference from beginning to end!!

s14pit · 02-17-2011, 10:48 AM

Ya running the s14 control arms are going to give you better camber. you have to press s13 ball joints into them unless you have s14 spindals.

redline240sx · 02-17-2011, 11:47 AM

Awesome build bro, You have a build thread like this on NICO as well right? I know I seen this thread somewhere else. Excellent work man!!!

s14pit · 02-17-2011, 01:52 PM

no, only here and my local board. I dont have a NICO acount.

s14pit · 02-17-2011, 03:53 PM

I hope to have all the parts I need by the end of the month so I can swap my other motor in. I am going to have the engine bay painted while the engine is out.

hypercrush · 02-18-2011, 12:21 AM

i will one day have painted every 240 engine bay in AZ. yours may be my next victim

s14pit · 02-18-2011, 09:31 AM

HA HA I can only hope

Zeal3 · 03-02-2011, 09:25 PM

Super clean.
What differential are you running?

s14pit · 03-03-2011, 07:43 AM

I am running a tomei 2.0 way with stock gears.

Zeal3 · 03-03-2011, 09:46 AM

Is the tomei 2.0 good for a 2JZGE NA-T setup?
Its going to be used for street and drift.

Thank you.

s14pit · 03-03-2011, 05:37 PM

I dont see why it would not v8 guys use them its a great diff.

SnakeKack · 03-30-2011, 11:01 PM

hypercrush · 03-31-2011, 03:43 AM

h815 240sx · 05-09-2011, 08:00 AM

regardless where the R154 trans comes from do you always have to swap in a 1jz bell housing?

Flicktitty · 05-13-2011, 12:02 PM

Any more pics,info on the car? updates?

s14pit · 06-09-2011, 04:31 PM

Have not been on here in a long time I have a few updates the car is feeling great.

I have a bunch of update pics and some clips I will post tonight.

As for the R154 you always have to put a 1jz bellhousing on it unless it comes with the 1j.

Flicktitty · 06-09-2011, 05:40 PM

s14pit · 06-22-2011, 07:30 PM

Here are a few pics of the car in action.
Here are a few pics from the car at the last two events.

s14pit · 06-22-2011, 07:31 PM

s14pit · 06-22-2011, 08:27 PM

I have been really trying to work on my driving skills I try and change at least one thing on my car for every event. One time I toyed with my alignment the next was more alignment like less camber in rear more caster up front. Next it was tire sizes and ride height and more alignment. This time it was dampening, this adjustment more effects than I could ever imagine. I started with both to full stiff this made out great out back Bad up front making me under steer bad. so I adjusted it all the way loose this made for real grippe feel with over steer so a little fine tune it felt better. the rear I adjusted a little softer maybe in the middle of adjustment felt great.

AceUp · 06-23-2011, 04:13 AM

proud of u gerald! keep kicking ass!

2muchboost · 06-23-2011, 04:22 AM

Congrats....I am sure the car is a gem and fun to drive. I myself am working on a 2jzge swap (72k miles on motor and clean) into an s14. I went a little bit crazy as I always do and instead of keeping the car stock for a while i started upgrading things here and there. So unfortunately the car wont be complete till the end of the summer. Thank you for the motivation, looking at these threads and watching the video assures me I made the right choice when I decided not to swap in my fully built SR20det and go with a more reliable and very stout 2jzge. Keep up the good work.
