My RB26DETT 240SX is featured in 01/05 HCI Mag! Pics inside!

[umsports]

Hey All,

Well we made the 01/05 issue of HCI mag. I just went this morning to Barnes and Noble, and picked up a few copies...

I scanned the article in for ya'll who don't have HCI in your local bookstores to check out...

Take care!

Chris

sweeeeet ride! and congrats

[SilviaNinja240]

arn't you selling this car?

[umsports]

Yes, that's correct. It goes on Ebay on Monday, Nov 22....

[MakotoS13]

is that what you meant by "much more to come"? its nice but i think your painter forgot to paint, oh, about 50% of the car.

[HyperTek]

cool for the fact u didnt even build it....

[ss045]

paint or not, that 14 still rules yu0 like Jimmy King.

Mckinney motorsports was the only other person that touched the car, and they used my car to design their RB26 installation parts... downpipes, mounts, etc..Obviously that meant they had to install the motor in order to do the fabrication, etc...

Everything else was wrenched by yours truly..

Chris

[umsports]

And if everything goes well.. I will have a R33 Pearl Blue GTR toward the middle of January..

[AceInHole]

is it me or is the boost controller not hooked up??

[ThatGuy]

Just My Opinion:

I personally don't care for all the Carbon Fiber myself. I'd say if your happy with it then all is well, but obviously you aren't happy with it. If you were I doubt you would sell it. Now if it was a demo-vehicle, I completely understand. Mission Accomplished: You built the car, got it featured in a mag, good job. Good luck with R33, but please don't do to it what you did to this S14. Build it for yourself, not for a Magazine.

-Barry

[suhster85]

I think it was a demo vehicle for that company

off topic but whats the car on the cover?

[ThatGuy]

Text below cover appears to be editors notes:
"...did you guys notice this months cover car? Alex Asfura's chromed-out Civic coupe..."

[Pudula]

is it me or is the boost controller not hooked up??
Yea, what a horrible picture to put in a magazine.

[Pudula]

off topic but whats the car on the cover?
I would say that is the "one-of-a-kind chromalicious civic" listed on the cover

[Ian]

may i call to attention a quote out of the article?


"...,A'PEXi supplied dual super-flow intake pods, which allow the air to make its way though a custom McKinney downpipe. Spent exhaust then makes its way through an A'PEXi 3-75-inch Ex Mag exhaust..."



ok a few things

1. isnt it APEX'i for apex integration?
2. the super-flow dual intake filters will put air through the downpipe?
3. Dosen't RSR make the Ex Mag exhaust? Apex'i makes the N1 and the GT right?

[Salty_X]

"...,A'PEXi supplied dual super-flow intake pods, which allow the air to make its way though a custom McKinney downpipe. Spent exhaust then makes its way through an A'PEXi 3-75-inch Ex Mag exhaust..."

3. Dosen't RSR make the Ex Mag exhaust? Apex'i makes the N1 and the GT right?
1. It's A'Pexi, or A'Pex Integration as it says on their site.

2. I guess it's technically correct. The air from the filters will get to the downpipes... eventually.
After that sentence you quoted, the rest of that paragraph is basically retardation. If they had hired someone besides the photographer to write the article, it might have been better.
Here's my lame-o interpretation of how someone more skilled would write it:

To better increase the airflow through the RB26, A'Pexi supplied the dual super-flow intake pods(pods?), which allow the air to quickly make its way through the twin T2x turbines and on to the Hybrid Power FMIC. To keep compressor surge in check, an A'Pexi Racing Max Power (where do they come up with these names?!) BOV has been encorporated in the hot/coldpipe. Spent exhaust makes its way through a custom McKinney downpipe, connected to an A'Pexi GT Spec exhaust to keep their heads ringin' [ring, ding, dong].

Hey, at least I got the order right.

3. Yeah, RS*R makes the Ex Mag. From the description (3.75") it sounds like an Apexi GT Spec.


I think it can all be explained this way: It's Hot Compacts & Imports Magazine.

[MakotoS13]

yeah, it ain't exactly motortrend. the only mag i can take reading is SCC cause they don't usually promote rice-ism.

well, other than the fact that this years ultimate street car challenge has NO exotics (undoubtedly becuase all previous competitions were won by a ferrari and OWNED by a viper).

[HyperTek]

just realised theres no rear view mirrors!! stealth mode!

[SilviaDriver]

just realised theres no rear view mirrors!! stealth mode!

its just gonna sit there so it doesnt need mirrors

[S14DB]

I thought that the cams were "top secret" custom cams till I saw the article on wed. Did you ever get this thing to idle corectly?

[TokyoNights]

I think if all the blue was black it would look alot better.

[kuruptR]

yikes, that thing is awesome :ugh:

[nismo2491]

yeah I noticed the boost controller too. what's with that? and yeah paint the carbon fibre. how much weight are you savin by not having painted fenders and bumpers. the wing and the hood are ok not painted but thats about it.
though I did plan on doing fenders, bumpers, doors, hood keeping them unpainted. but the car was at least going to be painted black.
KEvin

[RBS14]

what an ugly show car. I'd try to say something nice, but I can't think of anything. Paint that damn cf, it looks like ass.

glad you are selling it.

[blu808]

I like the picture of the dissconected soloniod.

[nightwalker]

This car if done well would compete great against a regular skyline.

Like you guys, I don't get why they took a picture of the disconnected solenoid like it was hot shit.

[blu808]

In what way would this compete angainst a regular skyline?

[nightwalker]

I'm thinking top speed, and drag race.

[meatish]

Motegi wheels? They sell those at pep boys pbtt..
But overall your car is dead sexy and hardcore. Paint it and peel off all the stickers and it will be a suitable mate. At least you resisted the urge to put a huge cessna wing on the back. Congrats.

[MakotoS13]

wait you guys don't like the car either? you must just be jealous like me.

if only we had a very torquey 400lb N/A solution for a motor....

[tah]

You would think that a car with a goddamn skyline engine, an rb26, would have better equipment. It seems to me that it has a bunch ricer mods (ie. hybrid intercooler, autometer, motegi);and not that it's bad stuff, just expected more quality shit. If I were to buy this car I would take off those bullshit stickers, paint it black, get a greddy fmic, some hks or blitz gauges, and some deep ssr proffessors and get some suspension done too... then it'd be the ill shit.

[tah]

Oh and p.s.: The starting bid was said to start at 25k, there's no way anyone in their right mind that would pay 25k for that car. I would rather get a Z or a Supra, or a TT SC300 for thousands less.

[boro240]

haha, zilvia is soo ruthless. i love it.

[umsports]

I dont mind, I appreciate the feedback whether I disagree or not...

I like the two-tone, many don't...but many do...

Obviously it got mag attention, so it must not be too hideous...

I didn't want the plain look that I know many on here prefer, as I guess I'm not trendy.. I wanted something different and that stands out, whether others don't like or not.. I don't care...

At NOPI, we were asked about shooting the car from both Super Street, Import Tuner, Import Racer, C16, and Nopi mag...

Neil, from HCI, is a good guy and I have known him for two years... So, it was no question of loyalty when he asked me early on Saturday morning to shoot it.. I turned down SS and Importer, and the rest tuner later that day...

As the car sits, and I will post some pics...the graphics were installed at NOPI and pulled off when we got home...

The car was taken straight from McKinney's shop in CA and brough to NOPI. McKinney finished the car four days before NOPI...

Obviously, it was being used for advertisement, so we weren't really concerned about the boost controller, etc as it wasn't going to be driven for another week.. We barely made it there like it sat..but yes, I wish they could have taken a picture of something else in its place..

I had to laugh when I got the article..

The boost controller is now hooked up...and the car is set to 15 PSI...

The exhaust is the Apexi GT Spec 3.75" exhaust...

If there is anything else I can answer, let me know...

[RBS14]

why didn't you put your awesome MR coilovers on it, if they're so good and all?....

[old_s13]

97-98 s14 with s15 front end? cant seem to understand the benefit in going from projector to projector, and going with a front end that really doesnt ADD to the look of the S14. imo, the 97-98 looks perfect.. and that s15 *IS* trendy, which you say you arent, but... i disagree.

if you werent trendy, you'de try to make this a drivers car and not such a "carbon-fiber-is-it-real-or-is-it-fake-but-hey-still-look-at-me" car. I'm not a big fan of fiberglas with cf vaneer.. that word, vaneer.. bothers me. unless its dry cf, it doesnt do much for me.

the boost controller cought my eye, i laughed and thought to myself "what is that thing for?"

okay, best of luck to you bro.. enjoy your big toy model and have fun parking it in your garage, must make cool noises when you turn it on and move it in and out of your garage. :)

hehe

[lilredstiffy]

No sir I don't like it.

spoken in the true words of an old saucy bastard :)

seriously though, you do claim to not be trendy. you're not trendy if you are talking about people that build cars to be functional. ie those on here.
but we are a small minority. most kids build cars to be showoffs, and you have their trendy mods on there it seems. and with all those mods you're only running 15 psi?

Yea Cool Whatever

[killjoy]

At least he takes criticism well. Chris, I don't know you but after your stock went down IMHO from a few things you are back up to even with me after I read your reply. Hope you get what you want for it when you sell it. I saw that one Enkei silvia on ebay like 6 times and that 410 hp ugly orange s14 on ebay about 3 times. I don't think either sold as they wanted more than 20K. Good luck!

[umsports]

Yes, they are stock turbos... I know you don't know much about this motor Nismo2491, but you don't wanna take ceramic GTR turbos past 1 bar...

unless you want them in your motor.. .

RBS14, the car has Apexi N1 coils, since we are sponsored by Apexi...which is why I have lots of their parts on the car... going with Megan probably wouldn't be the brightest move when trying to keep sponsors...

[MakotoS13]

real men paint their carbon fiber :)

[nismo2491]

you're right I don't know much about that motor.
but its still a motor and a nissan one at that, so I do know general stuff about it. I'm just wondering why you spent all that money on those internals but never upgraded the turbos? I understand where you are coming from only running 1 bar if they will grenade themselves like that, but why not upgrade to bigger ones?
KEvin

[S14DB]

If you're sponsered by Apexi You could have gotten the "ISAMU" TURBO RX6B KIT for RB26DETT
TCW76L/TCW77L TWIN HIGH-POWER VERSION.

[mellojoe]

Wow. I love this place. So rutheless.

I've seen this car in person, and you really have to see it to believe it. It is incredible. I watched it run at only, what, 7 or 8 pounds of boost. And, oh yeah, this keeps the twin turbos. Sure, they'll get ditched soon for more power, but not many 240-RB conversions can keep the twins. The car is really nice.

Chris, I've said it before and I'll say it again. Excellent work with the car. I don't like the two-tone myself, but that's your perogative. The car looks so much better in person, though. I wanted to see it run at full boost, though, before you sold it. Oh well.

In any event, the project was a complete success. It showcased all the things that Underground Motorsports can do. Any way you look at it, its one helluva shop car.

And, sure, I may be a little biased. But, damn, I'd drive the HELL out of that car, no matter who built it, even if it DID come from ARKANSAS! :coold: :w00t:

[focused]

is it me or is the boost controller not hooked up??

I noticed that too..

You could sell that photo to retailers for catalog use

[old_s13]

doesnt matter where something is built or who builds it, what matters is the end product. marco vargas has built some of the nicest cars i've seen, i'de take one of his creations any day.

- mike

[MisfitFlesh]

Damn if the guy wanted to build a showcar then let him be. Sure theres the people that build them and will drive them across country for a show, obviously he's not one of them big deal. Im not feeling the 2-tone but you like it so more power to you. I give you a lot of props on the build, the s15 front end looks really good on there also. Good luck with the r33.

[95zilvia]

So is it fast?

[CleanS14]

Won't comment on the car... since it seems everyone else has... but I agree with mike... what matters is the end product... odd that HCI would focus on the disconnected solenoid hahahaha

[umsports]

Tonight I had the opportunity to race a Noble M12....We were both at a car show today in Florida and after the event, he pulled up to me at a stoplight..

It was a good run, and I am so impressed with the Nobles..They are lightning fast, 0-60 mph in 3.8 secs, absolutely sick...

I was running 15 PSI and he beat me by a car length... We only ran up through the top of my second gear as we were in Destin, FL (heavily populated tourist town) and traffic was bad...

But for a quick sprint, it was a good run...

I am really impressed with the 240SX, but I am constantly fighting traction issues.. I am trying to work out my wheel spin problem..so we shall see..

[SilviaDriver]

yay for street racing.

[240silvia]

pat on the back man..... looks really good. Did you make any money off of the shoot?

[umsports]

yay for street racing.
I know, I should be setting a better example...

But, coming from Arkansas, we don't get to see anything of this caliber...

It was too tempting to resist...

[umsports]

pat on the back man..... looks really good. Did you make any money off of the shoot?

I wish, lol..

It's a big honor for me to get magazine shoot offers, and I would never expect any pay...

[old_s13]

I am really impressed with the 240SX, but I am constantly fighting traction issues.. I am trying to work out my wheel spin problem..so we shall see..

maybe if you ditched the 18s you'd get less wheel hop and more traction? which BFG tire is it? personally, i am not a fan of their tires.. i'm into yokohama, dunlop, and bridgestone.. but i cant comment since it doesnt say which BFG tire is on there.

hehe 18s for off the line racing, comedy.

[umsports]

I am running 285/30/18's... 24.73 overall diameter

275/40/17's, which are the size that I see most on here with turobed S14's running measure 25.66.... This is larger than my 18's...

The 18's are fine when sized with a proper tire...as they are smaller overall diameter than probably 95% of people running 17's with tires on this forum..

[umsports]

245/40/17's measure 24.72, so I'd say Motegi and BFG did a good job sizing these up for my car..

[S14DB]

I think it has more to do with the amount of sidewall/sidewall stiffness to hook off the line. The 18's are going to have a lower profile and a stiffer sidewall. The tires are not going to flex under load and transfer the shock to the tread and break the tire loose. Great for Drifting, horible for drag racing.

[umsports]

The K/D's are very soft, and I believe are a step ahead of most other tires on the market in terms of tread design, etc..

It has been raining here in North Florida for the past two days.. So, this is what probably contributed most to the tire spin..

I hate to blame it all on the tires, as I'm sure the roads aren't 100% dry yet..

[old_s13]

dude, cars-101....

large wheels = bad for off the line racing. everything from weight, to the thickness of the tire and its inability to grip the road because it'll wheel-hop easier. only benefit is that you can fit big brake kits, but even then you chose to go with Z32 calipers which arent the greatest.. but i like the supra rotors.. interesting.

anyway, best of luck to you........... brah

[old_s13]

funny quote....

"Besides this, the only other thing is the car does not have speedo, as we never needed it.. McKinney Motorsports makes an adapter that you can have for about $300 that will make the speedo read. At 3000 RPM, in 5th gear, is 70 MPH. I don't need the speedo, because if I'm going over that, I'm breaking the law and It doesn't matter how fast I am going at that point."

hehe fuckit huh?

[PSI240SX]

I definately appreciate the work that went into the car. I want an rb powered 240 next. I as with most on here dont like the two tone look but again, it's yours not mine. As for the Noble... I have no doubt it was JT's since you were in Destin, he has 2 of them, He came to our first local drift event and was impressed with my driving enough to let me take it out for a spin, first on the street, then on the track. All I could say was wow.... the car is so damn fast and so torquey in every gear. Its sucks for drifting though, no weight in the front, and no steering angle whatsoever. Here is a few pics of me driving it: http://www.planb-attack.com/jay/DDay/IMG_4534.jpg

I like that RB26DETT powered S13 w/ the S2000 powered AE86 on the cover of IR more than your S14.

I don't know how to reply to that.... Thanks, I guess, lol...

[umsports]

Hey man, Noble Drift, yeah that's the guy I raced....

That car is very quick.. I didn't think he would street race as he appeared to be an older guy.. But I egged it on, and I really appreciate him taking the bait...

That was the first time I've ever seen one in person, very nice...

[nigel1]

is motegi going to ever release those wheels? I like em alots.

[umsports]

Yeah, they were unveiled at SEMA 2004...

and will be released around christmas time I have been told...

nice car, but the videos i saw of it, sounds like crap.

I hope you guys tuned it better. BTW, yes, I'm not a fan of the paint scheme. Make it a complete car and you can probably get more money for it on ebay.

[3rD GeAr]

i dont see why people got to talk trash on someones car....well i think it was a great basis for Mckinney to get the RB26 setup kit out there and also a great way to get the Underground name out there... I commend u for your work...and hope whoever gets this car next can finish it up...and hope all goes well with the R33...good luck and congrats

[Walperstyle]

^i hope you dont think im trash talking. I would love to have that car... but in my personal opinion, it looks incomplete. Dont take things so out of context.

The work done to it awesome. Its one of the first I have seen.

[umsports]

The reason the car was idling bad was because it had a vacuum leak... Those vids were shot at McKinney's shop before it was completed..

The car drives like a champ, and everything is done from a mechanical standpoint...

Most of the posts contained opinionated critism. Not hatefull bashing. There is a fine line, but there is a difference.

Talk more about the car, and less about the comments. :-P

btw- Nice car, but as most here, I would have prefered it painted.

[Sliding_S14]

Think we all are in denile but then again we all knew this day was coming... the hype from drifting is making the 240 the perfect target for kids to drop their honda's and kill themselves on canyon roads trying to drift and make the 240 flashy.... I myself agree with everyone else the cars not my kind of touch, but knew this kind of flash and pozaz was gonna happen sooner or later with how fast the sport of drifting grew.

(edit) not sayin the owner dropped his honda to get into the craze but thats what the market is shooting for.

[umsports]

Obviously, I wanted a show stopper, sure...

I have owned my 240SX since 1999, back when people were just starting to look into the SR swaps here in the South Central USA...

The old 240sx guys are purely performance, and function... Whereas the new generation are, as you have said, previous Honda and Acura owners for the most part...

I wanted to build a car that would appeal to each market, as you obviously know I run a business that caters specifically to the 240SX market..

With the RB26DETT, we shot to appease the older crowd, my generation...

But, at the same time, we had to draw in the youger crowd with the wheels, body kit, paint, etc...

I hope that this car can be appreciated for the hardwork that has gone into, whether you like the pieces that were added or not...

[Red]

You have 18x10's on the back? with 285's?

So whats youre offset? How did you get coilovers in there?



Yeah and my 18x10's have some good wheel hop to...

They are +25 I believe... and my coils fit with about another inch of space in between them and the wheel...

[Red]

Well shit...

If I would have knowen I could get coilovers with my 18x10 I would not have done the cheep spring setup!

Are your front wheels also +25?

and what did you use to fix the rear camber?

[MakotoS13]

the ONLY reason i don't like the car is cause the carbon fiber panels aren't painted. if those were done up in that sexy blue it would all be kosher in my eyes.

oh yeah, and the fact that one one has posted what the sucker runs in a straght 1/4.

[nismo2491]

I understand the hard work thats gone into it. and I respect it for that, but it doesn't mean I have to like it..... I do like it per se, if it was painted it'd be 10x better. not a big fan of unpainted carbon fibre unless its on a black car. or just a hood

damn so many haters ... shiet if i was sponsered by any brand i would sport their stuff even though it wouldnt be top of the line. If i had those wheels i wouldnt mind because their cheap or free and they are better then stock, if i was sponsered by mr id use their coilovers because its cheap or free and its better then stock suspension, if i had sticker sponsors id probably put that on (lol j/k about that). But all in all the car has rb26dett and its clean.

btw what did you trade your car for?

[umsports]

Bump........................

[s13Dr1ft]

i like the car for what it is. alot of work has gone into it, Though i'm no fan of the S15 conversion at all, it has alot of time and effort in it. I congradulate you in your hard efforts and time spent on making a fine car. Peformance wise the car is very nice. But then again i guess everyone will hate my cars as well since i make my own parts and do my own wrenching time...I love you guys ha ha

Zilvia keeps me youg.

[umsports]

Guys, it's been over two years now since the car came out in HCI Magazine, and it has spent the bulk of that time under a car cover....

The time has come to pull it off, and begin working on the motor buildup/interior.

We are working with Full Race and Ivan @AMS on the motor build, so only good things can come from this.

The carbon fiber front end and side skirts have been replaced with fiberglass pieces, and has been painted House of Kolor Tru Blue Pearl to match the rest of the car.

I'll update more details later, but I just wanted to update several members who have PM'd me about the car and it's status...

I'll post the latest pics of the car this weekend, when things slow down around here.

[Shift_Drift_S13]

I kno i'm a lil late to responding about the car being on ebay, but man, what i wouldn't do for an RB26DETT 240!

Yes, I had traded the 240SX for a 94 T78 6spd Supra and a 96 RB25DET 240SX, got both cars for the 26 240SX.

But was able to recently buy the RB26DETT 240SX back, after the owner only put 250 miles on it in two years. He had added different air filters, but no other mods.

So glad to have it back in my possession, and glad to take it to the next level.

So you got 2 awesome cars for that 240?

Damn.

Congrats on the new old car....and good look modifying.

The car isn't my personal favorite, but it does the job well and I respect it. Bashing it would be stupid.

Yes, probably the best trade I will ever make...The MKIV T78 6Spd Supra was a deal, but then he threw in his RB25DET S14 to sweeten the deal.

It was too good to pass up on, so I made the trade.

But time has passed, and I'm glad to have the car back in the garage.

I'm going to finish it off by building the motor, as we're looking right now at either a Garrett 4088 or 42R Single Setup with the new Full-Race RB26DETT Manifold with Twin Wastegates, 1000cc injectors, and 2.7L Forged Block with cams.

I'd really like to see this car in the 750-800whp range, and if my budget allows, it will be.

Dunno how you guys can respond negatively to a car that's probably faster than 90% of the 240s on this board. Nice car, hope it's going to be put to good use on the track.

[J.Silvia]

personally i like most everything about the car but i prefer to have carbon painted so it wouldnt attract so much attention to myself or car. o and i prefer kouki front on a car that comes with a kouki front instead of the s15 front but great choices non the less :bigok:

Thought you guys might be interested what those motors dyno on stock boost and 16 PSI (Nissan's max recommended boost pressure for the stock turbos)

Keep in mind, this is with no tuning. At that time, the ONLY mod was the simple addition of a boost controller.

Before we change to the single setup, I'm going to tune it out just to see how much power we can get at the same boost level on the stock units.

Here's the dyno graph of our car taken in 2004:

[vrooompssssht]

that car deserves a magazine feature? :rofl:

[aznpoopy]

congrats on buying her back. can't wait to see what you do with her man. good luck with the new project. :hs:

[fliprayzin240sx]

336rwhp on stock boost...this is the reason why ive been contemplating this shiet after i sold my SR 240. I'm shipping out to Kadena in April, wont prolly be back till 4 yrs from then. When i do, i will bring a RB26 engine swap back for sure and lots of S14 chassis goodies. Just dont see my self downgrading to a S13. =p

[JDMClifford]

i was justreading about the full race r14. now thats a rb26 swap. but good job! i dont like the purple but sik ride.

[umsports]

do you still have the supra???:aw:

No, Supra was sold a few months after I traded the 26 240SX.

that car deserves a magazine feature? :rofl:

It was in three magazines, so apparently many people felt it was deserving....

Any cars you currently own worth putting in a magazine?

[cwd240]

The carbon fiber front end and side skirts have been replaced with fiberglass pieces, and has been painted House of Kolor Tru Blue Pearl to match the rest of the car.



What did you ever do with the CF Front end?
