Figure it's about time I get this posted.
It's been a year of slow work, mostly done in the past few weeks, but finally running and nearly ready to go. Just needs some tuning.
This is really just our test mule for now. We both will be leaving Okinawa in the next few months. Once in the states, Matt will be rebuilding this engine for a Z and I'll be building another for something else.

The story behind the car...
Sometime around September '09, Jerome and I decided to go in on a track car so we didn't have to beat on our daily drivers... rather, he refused to slide his GT-R and I was selling my 14... and all the cool kids were teaming up and buying s14 track cars, so we had to do it too. So, he found this 14 and I bought it to get started.

It's a 97 Silvia, auto, 4 lug... completely stock, aside from the chopped up Mitsubishi grill someone put on it. The dude was getting ready to junk it so we picked it up for $600. (food for thought for all you fanboys selling your stock pos for 3-5k just saying.)






Originally started throwing all my spare parts on it.
5lug rear, r33 rear brakes, shimmed diff, rear adjustable links, suspension (rears ended up being blown and the front pillow balls were bad, so I put the Teins from my white 14 on it.







Running hella flush the end of the first day.


Next few days, got the front suspension on and the 5 speed swap done.










FGK header from my white 14


the rest of the exhaust


That was it for the initial setup for the track. Took it up and had a few rounds with it.
Matt joined in on the fun just after we got it to the track. Then he broke the header due to some ripped exhaust hangers, so we had had JP weld it back together.




and slid some more.




not necessarily in a fancy way, but we slid nonetheless. lol





After a few more track sessions, some cones getting wrapped up in the wheel well, and some fresh tires, we burned through the fender harness the third time which left us dead in the water.


Luckily, Matt and I had been talking about finishing the RB setup that was going to go into my old 13. The time was right, so he picked up another 25 to get started.
