[cali240sxdrifter]

car is amazing and another reason to keep ur 240 wingless.

[FRpilot]

fno1rcs with polished lip and powdercoated black? i want to powdercoat some nismo lmgt4s black since they dont make the black ones anymore.. unless you can special order them?

[Ritz S14]

Holy shituglyheadlights batman!!!

Rims are hot tho. Don't know if I should do that to mine.

[kazuo]

WOW!

I love the gfx, love the rims, love the car! Very nice!

Sure, German headlights would look nice, but I can live with it as-is. :D

[iMAGE976]

Im diggin them Rims!

[Ian]

i thought for a minute that the cone was patrick from spongebob lol

[KOUKI KA-T]

Black w/ polished lip FN's are (supposedly) new for 2005. 5zigen had them at their booth at SEMA....

Where did you hear this from? If that's true that'd be awesome cuz those rims are blangin.

Check their site, may have been there... but they did have the black w/ polished lip at the SEMA booth this year and also full polished (metalcoat chrome style)
SPL also has pics on their site... but doesn't say whether they are coming out or not in 2005.

A buddy of mine has pics he took at SEMA as well, I'll see if I can get them from him.

[gonzoes14k]

Hot need to have the s13 and s14 share a shot.

[nightwalker]

seen better lookin s14s

[North240]

oooohhhh fully polished FN's. Although i think i would still prefer gram light pros in the Rays metal coat.

[Sil Beer S13]

Man that car is awesome.

[mrmephistopheles]

heh
i remember when that car had no engine (or front end - it was literally cut off the car).
It's come a long way in 6 months.

[240mph]

all i have to say is change the front to kouki then maybe it'll look better.no offense to zenki's :boink:

[Doriftomodachi]

all i have to say is change the front to kouki then maybe it'll look better.no offense to zenki's :boink:

Why would he do something dumb and downgrade the car like that? (No offense to koukis) :D

[The Riot Hero]

doesnt looks that good at all, looks like the bodywork leaves something to be desired, im sure its setup well tho.

its a good looking car, but i dont understand why youre all acting like you wanna blow a load over it. looks pretty cookie cutter tome.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Zenkis > kouki, especially with clean headlights

[Frappe]

What hood is that? It's different. I think I like it.

[Dousan_PG]

haha too funny
sam called me and said he was getting fn01rcs and i made fun of him hahaha but its not that bad, sam! NICE!

thanks for posting paul!

Why cause the kit is not molded?


FUNCTION
FORM

[SaintlyCharBoy]

wow, they built exactly what i want except for the engine...

[Brian]

not bad not bad.

reminds me of MASA hood.
i suppose it might just be a custom hood like the s13 had.

ok, the difference is that this car is a competition drift car. I perfer D1 and other actual drift cars to carpet queens that are not really driven hard at all. Its not easy keeping a car looking sweet and still beat on it and drift it around irwendale at 80+.

it may be a bit cookie cutter, but we don't have too many zenkis that look this good and drifted this well.

All the US "pro" sponsored 240sx are either s13s or 180s. This is different, and well done.

[psychedelicbeats]

diffuse the headlight discoloring with some spl orange corner lights!

[Brian]

yeah it would be neat if Sam could get the Tomei corner covers.

[Shin_Kudo]

Saw it on saturday. Had no bumper as of last sighting.

[wootwoot]

Patrick!


What the hell is Patrick doing on there?....

[s13irdie2]

will the two-tone fn's come in bronze too?

Thank you Paul, but you post up the link before we even had the chance to finish the page.
It's done now tho.
Simple explaination to everyone is that the car's budget is $12k to build(gone over already), it's not much for a D1 spec car.
People who have been to D1 in person would know that the cars go inches from the wall not feet(the closer you get to the walll the more points you score).
With the above 2 concern in mind we build the best possible s14 using our limited resources.

The kouki front end and tail lights was sold to pay for the suspension and misc items it's one of the main reason it's a zenki.
We could've bought the german headlights or new headlights, but the car was build to hit the wall in mind.
I'm sure you guys would think it would be a waste of nice headlights.

Like we state on site anyone can build a nice jgtc style widebody show/drift car all it takes is money, but when it come down to it you just have to ask yourself "is it worth it?".

For those of you coming to JGTC/D1 this weekend drop by our garage/pit arear and say Hi, please ask if you like a free jspec.com sticker.
Thank you and Happy Holidays,

Sam ;)

[mav1178]

The wheels on Sam's car was... kind of not in production yet. It is just a set of silver wheels repainted.

The actual "black polished lip" color will be available.... probably February or March.

[SilviaDriver]

what rear fenders are those? and how wide 30mm?

[Hondamatic]

cheers! good explanation. i like the cone character, very cool graphic instead of the usual sponsored up vinyl mobiles

[240mph]

kouuuuuuuuuki crisp please..........

[lcpljrm]

does anyone know what hood that is? that thing is awesome. just the kind of functional venting i want.... :hyper:

[The Riot Hero]

hahaha, my car is that without the body kit, wide fenders front and rear with 17x10 fnoircs, im not doggin the car but i dont think its anything to get a boner about. and no i dont think it should be molded. i dont think anything should be molded. obviously it wasnt a high budget car, it mimics mine only mine has alot of metal cut off of it lol. good stuff.

[hotrodv]

Compliments!!
Like the car and like the Jspec philosophy too!!
Nice work guys!!
:rawk: :rawk:

[ruthlesstyper]

the car is kool, but i liked the s13 better...

[Id-]

Whats the big deal? Looks like a car with a bodykit, cage, suspension and wheels to me? Lookswise it sucks balls... seen plenty of other S14s that would knock it dead... several here in town in fact, I dont exactly live in a place where they are common either

[Shin_Kudo]

Those FNs are crazy hot. Please tell me 5Zigen will make them in some reasonable 4 lug offsets?

[Jeff240sx]

Not masa. However, I want the hood.

[SimpleSexy180]

i thought for a minute that the cone was patrick from spongebob lol


lmao i thought so too. That car is pretty sick... :yum:, but im not feelin yellow :squint:

now pat yourself on your back.

[pruto]

geez, people just don't understand. *sigh*

sucks to be them.

cars are meant to be driven, how many nicer looking s14s do you see that are actually driven? i'm not talking about your silly go fast on the freeway or stroll in the mountains.

how many show cars do you see with a nice cage and no need for it? how many carpet queens do you see sit so low that their suspension settling doesn't work too well on a track?

yeah, it may look like your car, your car may look better, how close have you gotten to the irwendale lucas wall? how fast have you drifted the irwendale bank?

how many s14 have said wheels, bodykit, cage, hood, suspension, paint and serious cash under the hood knowing that more likely than not, it'll probably get into some major accident going sideways into a wall/poll/D1 barrier.

The hottest cars are the ones where form follows function and ripping through action shots, either grip or drift, doing what the car was friggen meant to do, driven to the limit without worrying about "breaking a nail". driven by someone who knows how to drive.

We got too many posers who make their cars look like they should belong on the track, owners who drop 20-30gs on a car and not willing to flog it, reserving it for cruising down sunset, or the streets of industry, is that hot? or just lame?

some hot s14s look like a drifter
we KNOW this hot s14 IS a drifter.

[Ian]

i LOVE the yellow personally...being that i daily drive a yellow car, i feel the connection...it really grows on you, being that there arent as many yellow cars on the road.

[justinhustle]

the fact is

if anyone of us has a car that nice, only like 18% will drive it as hard as that car will get driven

my car isnt that nice imo and after the paint is done, im going to tear it up im sure

but dudes like the guy in NJ with the white s14.5 and gt-7's are going to pussyfoot around.

so imagine that car slamming into a wall and being rebuilt days later....its hot shit and more respect should be shown

[01SaturnL200]

sweet ride one of the cleanest driven hard, s14's ive ever seen :)

[JaeTea]

:werd:

At least SOMEONE here gets it!!!

[RBS14]

I definately respect the work put into the car.

However, just because it's going to get driven to hell and back doesn't automatically make it Uber Hot. It's a bright yellow S14 with a ton of suspension and a great engine. Nothing more, nothing less.

I was hoping you'd chime in and confirm i wasn't just spreading a rumor. Same ETA on the super polished style ones as well?

[SilviaDriver]

if anybody is gonna visit the car in person..can somebody take pics of the rear fender up close for me

thanks

[RBS14]

what's so hard about getting wide fenders and molding them in? It's not rocket science.

[SilviaDriver]

umm...who ever said i was going to mold them in? if you looked a lot closer you would see the fenders arent molded in. in fact they are juss from what Sam said "screwed in" and id like to see the pics of it

I'm really like the taillights :drool:

props on the car sam... checked it out today at the track

this is nam from dynamic btw

[S14DriftR]

Car looks dope. Cant wait to see it run. And for everyone saying they know of S14's just as cool, if they dont do what this car will do at the track then they are kinda pointless. But the guys making these comments dont really get it anyway. But props on the car, I think that I may like it even better after a couple minor battle scars, just dont smash her up too bad.

[supportTHEezln]

Ok, this might sound dumb, but just picture it for a second. Get the corners to get that dirty well-used headlight look. It looks almost gunmetalish. I think if all the lights were like that, it'd be kind of stealth looking.

the center panel has been painted black and he redded out the orange at the sides. sick. i'd do this over 400usd kouki tails anyday. That plus its either a jdm trunk lid or they filled in the third brakelight which is cool too.

[Ian]

gah, i donno what i was thinking...that is definately different lol...


but why didnt he just go through the 2 seconds to fill in those holes while he was as it?


very cool anyhow. i wanna do the same to my tails :-)

I'm interested to hear about how this car did at GT Live too...seems like there aren't any topics on an event that was HUGE imo. I was there for the weekend, great stuff.

[dct223]

sweet car, was hella digging it when it was in the D1 comp cus it was a zenki, u never really see those in a comp. s14 kouki front end is overraited imo...

[NI_YON_Zenki]

Sam, I see you've received enough graditute toward the car, now all I want to see is how long richard wil be able to handle the car w/o a wall interveining in the performance. . . . Good luck, and congrats! I'll be seeing you soon.

Richard? Conrad Grunewald is driving this car. If you're referring to Richard Tang, I think he's got enough D1-capable cars to drive for himself...

Richard... Richard Parise.

Richard Tang doesn't drive/care for D1.

he's like...well i've never tried drifting, i guess i'll take a shot at D1...
