Hey guys, name is Brad. Just picked up my first S14 with kouki front. Its a bare shell that i'm going to be building for drifting. Completely new to the S-Chassis, so bear with me! (If i seem retarded, its because I have zero knowledge of these cars, and today is the first time i've had to free time to hop online and do some research)

-Stitch welded, Rust free, tubbed front bay
-B-Magic fenders all around
-ISIS 3 inch to dual 4 inch blast pipes catback
-PBM alu. subframe bushings
-300zx brakes up front
-Brand new BC coils
-kouki front end
-painless chassis wiring kit installed
-fuel cell
-chase bays brake lines

I bought it last week. Completely stripped interior, stripped engine bay, no aero. Came with those square wheels from Enjuku.

I'm undecided if i'm going to keep this paint or not... If I do, what aero kit do you guys think would look good? Im leaning towards the instant gentleman kit.

On the weekend, i picked this up:

5 speed Transmission
Garret GT2871R .64ar
TurboHKS SQV Blow off vlave
Brian Crower Cams (264)
Tomei Exhaust Manifold

Wow, just wow, thats awesome that you were able to acquire a swap plus upgrades all in one weekend, and im sitting here trying to figure out how im going to tune mine lol, EMS or SAFC (obviously $$ is a factor here)

BUT, if youre going to be drifting, enjuku recently started selling a nice cheap aero kit i was looking to get myself, cause why shell out so much for something you might end up ripping apart ya know?

Version Select Aerokit: S14 Kouki Version III - Enjuku Racing Parts, LLC (http://www.enjukuracing.com/products/Version-Select-Aerokit%3A-S14-Kouki-Version-III.html) - version 3

Version Select Aerokit: S14 Kouki Version I - Enjuku Racing Parts, LLC (http://www.enjukuracing.com/products/Version-Select-Aerokit%3A-S14-Kouki-Version-I.html) - version 1

Well, it was only two different transactions... I bought the shell last monday, then on saturday i drove three hours and picked up the swap (it came with everything listed)

I also picked up:

Aeromotive fuel pump
Aeromotove fuel pressure regulator
AEM Wideband
Autometer Cobalt Boost gauge
A massive Mishimoto RX7 radiator and slim fans, gunna try to make it fit.

Also, while I was doing the three hour drive to Calgary to pick up my motor, i delivered some parts for a guy and he gave me this for helping him out:

A carbon fiber Rocket Bunny replica spoiler

As for aero, there is a local guy here who sells replica kits for $600 all in. I've helped him out a bit and said he'd do 500 for me... This includes the supermade instant gentleman kit, Uras 4 kit, W9 kit, or the Vertex kit. He said $800 for the full blister widebody kit...

That enjuku version 3 kit looks nice though...

Stuff that i know i need to get:
Engine Harness - thinking wiring specialties?
Intercooler/piping kit - thinking either the isis kit or pbm kit
Little stuff like find a coolant reservoir/etc

I bought these seats for shits and giggles a couple months ago... Not sure if im going to use them or not:
Bride replicas

No offense, bit of threadjack here, but you cant tune anything with an SAFC, so the answer is obvious. But if you dont know that, i fear you dont know anything about tuning, so you better find someone who knows how to tune cars and ask him what he works with, then buy what he works with, and let him do the job. Yes it is going to cost money, but whatever you do "cheap motorsport" is still costy.

Third option : programmable daughterboard in stock ECU ( aka nistune ).

@OP > get the aero you want, not the aero a bunch of internet warriors will tell you to get. Is it your car or not ?

I am full on well aware on what the SAFC does and other various methods of tuning. I'm using it for my z32 maf, but i am buying an EMS later on when I do a turbo upgrade and the like, but thanks.

and OP, i have a wiring specialties harness and i LOVE IT. it is so nice and well worth the money. I was too looking at the version 3 kit on enjuku, its rather nice but i like the less aggressive look of the verison 1 ya know, i'm not running a crazy offset/width with my wheels, so subtle would be my best choice!

also, I really want that rocket bunny spoiler and you are awesome that you got it. put it on man, it looks baller!
