[WPN-X7]

heya guys.


**edit/sidenote, seems literally none of these pics hyperlinks work from facebook, apologies for it and you'll have to bare with me while i fix it when i have more than 5 minutes to fix it**

so long story short did a super long winded write up the other day on my super old account that i never activated... and it came up with some retarded error when i went to post it. so yeah. new account.

anywhom thought id chuck up a build thread on my current s1 s14. and then when im bored ill chuck some stuff up about a couple of my other cars/older cars.


https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/10389178_10153039799508025_1866512766922443682_n.j pg?oh=f062cd4850737071d95f9c85b09055ad&oe=58E74BF7

so this all began with my s14 SR20DE+T missle/practice car. many a good time, drove a heap of events until i did a HG on it. then decided to tidy it up with a new motor and reshell into one with rego.

wound up like this... had an interesting motor set up (SR20DETT with twin greddy td05s, made 310kw on 16psi, but popped the motor after not long) did some more events, street drove it, had fun with it. then realised im to old for street cars and was going to widebody + full cage it to compete in some more competitions (mainly drift challenge australia) . lo and behold a mate was parting his s14 out, and a deal was struck on his shell... fast forward two months.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13062394_10153792866123025_8129095961949364715_n.j pg?oh=95734e32104d159571064459d2fe1b87&oe=58AE367B


so long story short swapped all the good stuff from my old "street" car on over. im at the point now where i just need to mount the ASD hydro up and run fresh braided lines to the duel calipers and its ready for its first event/shakedown mid month in my home town of mount gambier. ill slap a mod list up and some more pics. then in following posts/when boredom strikes go through some more of the interesting stories involving a few of these cars haha

+ more ive likely forgotten. all the good bits to have a reliable fun car basicly.

anyways any questions or whatever shoot away. ill update with some more on various cars when i get the chance and some driving footage from some events to.

[WPN-X7]

ill begin on the beige rig.

yet another long story short. i purchased this as a practice car for me to still drive while my 1JZ FC was being built (which in the end i parted as i had so much fun with the s14)

this car had been through a fair few local guys as a prac car, and i basically bought it. did one lap in it around the block, put my wheels on it then trailered it to the other side of the country for DCA matsuri.

was a rad event. shinji minowa was flown other and chucked a car, i got a good few sessions with him over the weekend and learnt a heap.

fast forward 6 months of events every couple weeks, getting pretty decent in the car, me and 12 odd mates had a private day at tailem bend raceway before it was shutting down for renovations. did the majority of the day before popping a headgasket in the late afternoon.

car was looking fair haggard.. and now had a popped motor. i had a couple months before my next big event to get the car ready for (DCA round 2, adn then QLD matsuri) i chased up a new (stupid) motor.. and wound up actually finding a new shell with rego to swap everything into (worked out cheaper than trying to straighten this battle rig out) more on that in the next post/when im bored enough.

[WPN-X7]

So as far as "building" this thing, its all done

Wrapped up the hydro install and a bunch of little things over the past couple days. Had the usual sr20 dramas of snapping a mani stud while giving everything a spanmer check. Sorted that plus some last minute wiring and its ready to load on the trailer tomorrow to head down to Mt Gambier for shake down

http://secretdrift.invisionzone.com/uploads/monthly_06_2016/post-13705-0-25167400-1466066988.jpg

Footage/driving pics to come.

[WPN-X7]

so did some driving in this thing. a mate in my hometown organised a driftkhana event at a decent sized carpark. nothing super crazy but was fun as hell and a good shakedown. i was expecting the car to be a bit of a pig to steer but everything worked sweet. the PBM drop knuckles in the rear improved the grip ten fold.

https://scontent.fmel1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13435566_1400283616652181_825522134663938021_n.jpg ?oh=77a48bc3c613a4039ab674c68968a175&oe=57CDB0D7

only issues i had was a leaky fuel regulator fitting, my rear bar falling off 4 times, and i kerbed one of my WEDS when i ran wide on one course.

only thing to really change is a new dump pipe as this one sits super low, and pull my dash out to clean up some wiring under there.

video below from the day with a little of my car, keep in mind this was the first time a drift event was down there ever, so its there first taste of what its all about/driving it. a lot of the cars were essentially beaters/rallycross type stuff.

g4mMPIK1PeA

[WPN-X7]

So long story short, I'm going to try sneak a flex thingy in when I try to sort this dump pipe business. Ordered some 3" v bands and going to try mod my other dump pipe higher with them. Current front pipe is maybe 20mm off the ground resultimg in me popping gaskets flat out

In other news. I got me some new skidders. And discovered I def bent/knocked my alignment out when I munched a gutter in mt gambier haha. So onto the list of shit to fix it goes

18x10 -30. Toe/cambers weird due to my opps lol

http://secretdrift.invisionzone.com/uploads/monthly_06_2016/post-13705-0-78881200-1467101737.jpg

[WPN-X7]

so did ye old mallala drift prac.

before hand slapped a fresh dash in and cleaned some wiring up, got another alignment. discovered this car has that whole retarded s14/15 issue with the rear subframe sitting retardedish (the RH wheel sits 10mm further over than the left) i did some reading around and apparently its more common than i thought. measured everything up and the cars straight, guards spaced the same etc, so not 100% sure what ill do to fix it.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13769401_10153994463133025_8656052114962216210_n.j pg?oh=3deaa554f3ce71582ddef17284f661fb&oe=58E6C415


anywho. got alignment done, got it home, then discovered that my wheels sit funky in the guards even more... traction arm on the RH must be tweaked a bit as the wheel sits further forward in the guard than on the left. pretty much went meh and headed to prac anywho.

got there late, got 4 laps in on the scrappies i had. upon going to swap wheels over for tires discovered i have to drop the knuckle off the coilover to get the wheel out from under the guard.... so thats retarded lol.

car went well over all, no real issues other than my retarded driving. had some issues with t1 entering waayyyyy to late mainly as couldnt see shit haha.


HS9xIfFOt14

MjkRKbyZ2Dg

*embedding seems to not wanna work but hit the links for some incar*

only casualty from the night was the front bar, had a momentatry loss of talent on t2 and got beached as fuck ripping it off, slapped it back on after getting pushed out. then two laps later clipped a ripple strip, wiped the bar out along with my cooler piping, had to do a full transit lap around mallala back to pits with the bar under the car... so that sucked.

but yeah, current plan is to slap traction arms in the back to sort that, finish cleaning up the dash situation, probably do some vinyl purely to hold the guards together/cover up the scratches, and paint my spare BN bar while this one gets repaired. then im good for DCA round 2 in mt gambier.

[Tempo]

jamjam's old shell right ? had an rb26 ?

[Green Arrow]

No stock ebrake? Just the hydro? I installed s14 rear calipers on my s13 (local parts store only carried s14) and have yet to figure it out

[WPN-X7]

jamjam's old shell right ? had an rb26 ?

Yeah mate jamjams old shell. Couldnt turn it down when it was offered to me

[WPN-X7]

No stock ebrake? Just the hydro? I installed s14 rear calipers on my s13 (local parts store only carried s14) and have yet to figure it out



Yeah just the hydro, this has pbm rear drop knuckles, so no provision for r33 drum handbrake which is what i had. So simplest solution was hydro only with duel calipers.

I just leave it in gear so it doesnt roll away haha

[vJilly]

I need to see this twin turbo SR.. deliver plz <3

[tricky_ab]

Yeah mate jamjams old shell. Couldnt turn it down when it was offered to me

I knew this looked familiar. Nice to see it's still kicking about!

unsure how well this vid will work on here, but heres a link to my IG of a driveby of it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/7629vkoTLQ/?taken-by=driftrx

i wish i kept this set up to slap on a VVL head, but i needed to recoup funds from popping the motor while i was between events in QLD last year. was fun while it lasted though haha

[WPN-X7]

Billet rocker arms? From who? Info on these?

honestly wish i had some more info for you man, i got them off a local bloke who had them made back in the day for SR he was building for a s14 drag car that eventually never happened.

i can hit him up for more details but im pretty sure they're a one off.


unrelated, some outside footage of this thing from a shakedown i did in mt gambier at a driftkhana event while i remember to chuck it up haha

Well if you feel like hitting him up just to see what he says that's be cool ^_^

haha was a rad bit of gear, sold it to a bloke i know in NZ and its going on a nice built 2.2L SR which will make it a lil less laggy.

im happy enough with my HKS GTRS these days hahaha

*double post*

[WPN-X7]

Small updates

Traction arms aqquired. Slapping them in over the weekend after i do some reading. Primarily going to use them just to centre my shit in the guard, hopefully gain some grip as a happy side effect

Trial fitted up this BN/Uras/whatever it is kit ive had laying around for a bit. My BNs off getting patched up so hoping to paint this, my origin and my BN all in one hit when im at it

http://secretdrift.invisionzone.com/uploads/monthly_07_2016/post-13705-0-99387500-1469178036.jpg

Organised to have some meat milled off the back of these euroline things so i can stand them up better (less camber)

After that going to retune so i can run decent boost again (last prac was on 12psi so turbo not even on song) and i should be good for mt gambier DCA round. Contemplating doing some vinyl to cover up the paints/kits shit spots. But budgets low atm.

[STR8 H8N]

sick build

looks like mine did

[WPN-X7]

sick build

haha, cheers dude. going to change up this thing a bit in the looks department once ive got it dialled driving wise/get through rounds 2/3 of DCA.

incidently. couple driving pics from the other weekend.

probably doing a basic livery to tidy it up a little before DCA r2 mainly to hide up the scraped up aero/guards. settling on what i want to do that wise is proving difficult however as its easy to completely balls it up.

[WPN-X7]

heya guys

been slack on the updates as ive been busy and shit. did DCA round 2 in my original hometown of mount gambier... was a interesting weekend. australias first street touge event ever. also had a cool car display down the main street on the thursday night.

https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14358982_10154166152723025_1623297592810933857_n.j pg?oh=edb22a585a26f20515bfe83e4a46abfb&oe=58630DFF

it was a three day event. open practice friday, qualifying saturday and comp and open track sunday.

https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14457482_10154168880878025_1743337419903569455_n.j pg?oh=b783eb1c24c4ab8fa37a2989f37d2242&oe=5862C8F6

made the trek down after making some changes to the car. got retuned and aligned and a nice tucked up exhaust done by E.T.

https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14370271_10154171408233025_979247365841253816_n.jp g?oh=83b247062d1364bd829b7c26c82069c0&oe=58AAFDDA

long story short friday i got maybe 15 laps in, and was fighting this issue with my 2 way diff single wheeling. (less than ideal on a track with no run off at all) originally thought it was wheel hitting top of my tub under squat causing it to lock up. so raised the car a bit. did more practice laps but the problem persisted... day ended not long after that.

wound up changing to a welded diff i grabbed off a mate saturday morning however the weather went from clear skies and dry track. to torrential down pour. i missed practice session in the morning due to diff swap so went out for qualifying. got one practice lap, nailed all my clipping zones and felt good. qualifier #1 i span on my transisiton in the gully so got scored a zero. session got delayed due to super heavy rain ( i didnt even have working wipers and semis up front which was less than ideal) after the session resumed got thrown in the deep end for qualifier two in which i did the same shit and span on transition trying to snap it hard to outer clip 3. so that sucked (first event i havent qualified at)

kicked back and watched the rest of the arvo. got well wasted at the after party. queue sunday. watched practice and battles through to top 4. got asked to go out and do a demo lap in between battles. promptly fucked up and binned it into the wall as i misjudged how much more speed/grip i was getting in the dry. amatuer hour hahah

bent lips on wheels. snapped a silkroad coilover. bent tie rod and LCA, snapped castor rod. that ended my day so on the trailer it went. stupid mistake but shit happens when your trying to push hard on a track with 0 run off.

my opps is right near the end of it. this video gives a good idea of how commited you had to be and how little room for error there was

cars currently in the shed looking busted up. good excuse to mix it up look wise and fix some shit up properly while theres no events on that im keen on.

also managed a work trip to new zealand last week. managed to check out a matsuri event at taupo whilst there. was mint!

properly jealous, and that twin turbo setup is super interesting. Specs on the manifold/turbine housings?

properly jealous, and that twin turbo setup is super interesting. Specs on the manifold/turbine housings?



was cool. since been moved on to recover some costs from popping motor. the little HKS GTRS has proven to be mint for me now haha

manifold was a custom steam pipe job with old TRUST 50mm wastegate, built by a fab shop up in sydney i believe.

turbos were both greddy TD05 16g from memory. id have to re-look up the exact inlet/outlet sizes. pity my motor was only still 2l. would be ideal on a 2.2/2.3l SR (which is what they're now going on from memory)

[WPN-X7]

so as mention i crashed the pearl car at DCA. while this sucks its given me a good excuse to fix some fab work/repair some stuff i was never happy with from the get go, as well as respray it a less dumb colour and give it a bit of a brithday.

literally not much of a rush to get this done (only event im keen on next year is QR matsuri in november) so in the mean time. i pieced this together over the past couple days.

took one grandpa spec s14.

definitely not on the same level looks wise as the pearl car. (still to play with heights and spacer/align) but with how police are here in Australia, i need it to fly under the radar as much as possible so im keeping it sedate.

[WPN-X7]

first half of pics dont work



well aware. all (should) be fixed now. good old facebook shuffling some of my pic folders haha

[WPN-X7]

so street cars all finished other than some small odds and ends (regassing aircon, installing gauges and some spacers/toe arms)

so back to the grind of saving some money so i can plonk a new setup into my "good" car thats on hiatus atm. tossing up between a 1j or a rb25. will basicly come down to what packages are for sale when im ready to buy.

[WPN-X7]

This thing looks so baller! Love the cerbs

thanks man!

looking far worse for wear atm. but keen to get stuck back into it later this year haha

[Malik]

the stance is strong

[WPN-X7]

small update on the daily.

finally slapped some adjustable arms into this thing... honestly unsure how i was doing what ive been doing in it with how unco shit was up back. but shes all minty now.

the guys that hook me up with tires let me slap the arms in at their workshop and align it. next on the cards is retuning the car back to 98 ron (from e85) due to it not being that availible here. its fine for track cars but dailying it on it sucks ass

https://scontent.fadl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17308842_10154721390283025_4863329986756725813_n.j pg?oh=130cb6b1c5af2d9e78e20e9cb3dd9681&oe=595AB254

not much left to do on this thing then. got a fixed back, some old omori gauges to slap in and a roof wing to go on when i respray the boot. then maybe my good car will get another look in ha

https://scontent.fadl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17098144_10154658497338025_4521501263863120435_n.j pg?oh=f3baebd4bf663333a8c687e669c6c426&oe=59598D14

just enjoying driving this thing to much atm

[WPN-X7]

for those interested. got me a retune back to 98 instead of 85. thing was drinking e85 more than an alcoholic stepfather with mummy issues.

https://scontent.fadl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17523693_10154737987618025_7243280597493322376_n.j pg?oh=f5ab5398b7e3a19c3f932ac11e0f8a95&oe=595C898F

98 tune left. e85 right.

98 tune is on 14psi, e85 was 16 or so. little bit down on power but overall cars a lot more drivable (e85 tune was originally done by a place in qld after i popped last motor and was all round shit, then touched up breifly by my tuner cece when i got it back to SA to make that 235kw) could have wound the wick up to 20psi and let the GTRS sing but 200 is plentyyyy for streeties and its more fun having to work for it a bit haha

https://scontent.fadl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17458386_10154737986978025_8292628878634332337_n.j pg?oh=378cbfc48589ebb8ac415d6f9a2018d0&oe=59691C2D

next on the list is diff gears, respray my boot and stick these gauges in

[WPN-X7]

yeah so long story short. the street cars SR let go on me a week or so back when i was driving down to sleepy old mount gambier for round 2 of the drift challenge australia series. (only togue track comp in aus, also where i crashed my good s14 last year)

so ive parted it out.sold 90% of the stuff from this. shells had a deposit put on it, box sold etc. all i have left are the poncam/precision rockers and the nisstune/HPX combo.

so somehow managed to come out of all that with a decent pile of coin. on the hunt for a daily (probs a VX SS to get back in touch with my bogan side) and have a couple of engine packages for the pearl rig lined up to have a look over when i fly home next (a 1j, a ls package and a 25) honestly leaning towards the LS as thats the shit i know best, and im yet to have one just randomly let go for no apparent fucking reason (unlike previous 1js, and 25s... and sr20s)

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15622651_1224163300993970_6184243400608012215_n.jp g?oh=5a7d2629143a55fefffff173ef3a59c8&oe=598980B0

(pic to break up wall of text)


so ima drag pearl rig back outta the shed. get guards off and get a body work mate around to help me straighten up the rear (my opps + previous owners opps have made under the rear left over fender a fair mess haha) then ill be getting it on track to have a motor in, fresh paint and a new front.

all going well. back together and ready to party in the next few months.

[WPN-X7]

dragged this thing out of the shed after parting my street s14 and buying a shitty daily to commute with when im home

https://scontent.fadl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18057697_10154815787928025_5589162730752611630_n.j pg?oh=0059c8926dd9e8cbae461a1657af2d61&oe=59877805

test fitted this afternoon (fb rapes pic quality so my bad)

https://scontent.fadl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/18056564_10154816664718025_4389331984084260498_o.j pg?oh=413074eb44f20d6f6d0aadaddc83b7ec&oe=59920926

progress for the three dudes following this shit heap

slapped motor in after re-installing rack (minus the box)

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18157428_10154842039293025_4979404757424863240_n.j pg?oh=175d1257e6c71c11fb714bfc6c44d81f&oe=5974165B

dont mind the crookedness. things sitting skewy in the photos. the next thing was, while the motor fit.... the bellhousing and subsequently box did not.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18118571_10154818832263025_8863518994927056622_n.j pg?oh=fe7337a892a7f0f52c3ba7b5b4ae2d6d&oe=59799D93

one thing i hate with most LS swaps ive seen is how far forward the motor sits. the AB racing (or similar mounts) while they fit. it sat the motor super far forward which is gay as hell. so handballed them off to a mate doing a similar swap and some other mounts were whipped up. managing to get the front hump sump chilling back into the cross member and between the stock sway bar.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18221553_10154841591193025_6616525399605232125_n.j pg?oh=06b7952945e0534ad1a9537ab423e1eb&oe=59BF5CE3


so next up was this pesky "firewall" bullshit stopping the box now fitting. cue a angle grinder and me giving a minimal amount of fucks. (this is a rough cut) after doing that first section, putting motor/box back in. i realised that the motors that far back that the bolts that hold bellhousing to motor had about 5mm clearence each up top. so decided if im welding a new firewall section in, i may as well go all out.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18157915_10154844993688025_6956581957367482702_n.j pg?oh=c383a74584602c4bee594c29e70eddea&oe=5983939C

once again. rough cut. i actually need to trim a little more out of this and clean it all up before i weld a new section in. after that was done, and motor and box test fitted again. i sepnt some time doing a template for the new firewall section. this took longer than id like to admit haha

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18194867_10154844993698025_9173445912292394579_n.j pg?oh=0ba58ef1e196a05a24f5813eef7c12f2&oe=597F051A


hand balled this to a buddy to fab up while i fly out for work for the next couple weeks.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18198574_10154844236773025_7025483518238673994_n.j pg?oh=8146c98f34a9b093727afa1eb7e34b55&oe=5985D5AF

test fitted the already modified for ground clearence AB racing gearbox mount, only to find it still sits a solid inch to low. so this will be pulled back out cut, and the bottom section redone when i fly home.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18157023_10154842039268025_6934804608624618442_n.j pg?oh=fb9dd86b06f9e6492bbe5756a5ca2813&oe=598F0AD6

other odds and ends included test fitting headers (factory holden HSV ones that dont fit) and sorting a clutch pedal solution up (went with a willwood reverse swing clutch pedal that ill adapt to the stock mount so its all under the dash) also ordered a core speed shop shifter and some had my textralia button clutch rock up.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18194593_10154835460813025_4512956287221045575_n.j pg?oh=ae6b8523bfeec7be4e3afca66da9b24b&oe=59B801C8

anywho thats where its all at. pretty boring mostly but progress is progress. ive had some other body stuff rock up but none of thats overly important until the motor setup is sorted.

[WPN-X7]

long time no update.

bought a e36 and slapped it together as a practice car.... but turns out e36s suck ass. so i sold it.

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20031760_10155090226768025_1915254726201255517_n.j pg?oh=b1b9d2cef34763f94e4de5cab74c114c&oe=59EB10CA

so that brings me to the good car. (haha "good") decided to not tinker on everyone elses stuff for a week while i was home from work and got cracking...

https://sr20.driftworks.com/forum/attachments/20229301_10155096521688025_8653217477353372739_n-jpg.260224/

slapped some fresh castor and camber arms in. and got it on the ground for the first time since i crashed it. fresh LCAs and BC coilovers etc to replace the stuff i bent/snapped.

https://sr20.driftworks.com/forum/attachments/20139644_10155103622358025_6556841156542420940_n-jpg.260225/

got it towed to a buddies workshop and got our keen faces on (ie he did, i just kinda kicked back and let the dude do his thing) and got my gearbox crossmember modded, and a fresh trans tunnel in... this made installing the motor a legit slap in within 5 minute job. stoked.

https://sr20.driftworks.com/forum/attachments/17021642_10155110790583025_8119622097733977854_n-jpg.260226/

gave the tunnel a quick hit of undersealer, slapped motor back in so i could have the headers/exhaust done... motor will be back out soon to do clutch + braided line for that. and give the bay some paint and heatshielding/run fuel lines away from manis etc.

https://sr20.driftworks.com/forum/attachments/19961611_10155093558703025_1097213764242985629_n-jpg.260229/

manifold on drivers side (keep in mind mines RHD) pre modding.

https://sr20.driftworks.com/forum/attachments/20258382_10155119871818025_4567245258648483676_n-jpg.260760/

and done. not the prettiest. but its super tucked. i have ground clearence (rails are still the lowest point on this) i dont know how US guys get long tubes to fit on these and still have clearence)

https://sr20.driftworks.com/forum/attachments/20245603_10155113746733025_445338031646819866_n-jpg.260758/

grabbed a astra electric power steering pump, so i can ditch the LS setup and simplify some stuff. not much to the install of this.

https://sr20.driftworks.com/forum/attachments/20292751_10155120092898025_1244052530062261096_n-jpg.260759/

and finally my reverse swing clutch pedal, willwood reverse swing, mounted to a modified stock mount with a tilton remote resi master. should do the job nicely!

so yeah. thats where this is at. stupid small stuff to sort but its not far off being mechanically sorted... then it'll be slapped together for a shakedown then off to get cleaned up body wise with new kit/paint/livery.

got a keen face on and car went from non rolling/stripped front end to motor in, exhaust all sorted, coils/front suspension in. basically ready for just wiring/cooling/fuel system and some fresh tie rods to go.
