Sezio's Project 1UZ-FE S14 (400SX)
Hello guys I thought I'd share my little build with you guys. I've had my s14 for about 5 years now and have had several times
when I felt like selling it. I finally made up my mind and decided to keep it. It's a 1995 SE model that came automatic. I did a manual swap myself shortly after I got the car. Started getting upgrades here and there. blah blah blah not much of a typer so i'm just going to post up pictures and go from there... How it looked when I got it... Basic KA with Auto Transmission behind it Got some R33 Skyline Brakes Little shot of the interior Installed new Godspeed Coilovers Got the inner and outer tie rods from Wicked Tuning. Amazingly awesome! the have the spacer already machined into them. I added an extra tein spacer and modified my spindles for extra angle Took the engine apart and rebuilt it Re-did wiring and tucked it Initially on going KA-T but decided to keep it NA Job finished So I've been running this set up a while now and realized I need more power. Had a fee wheel changes and lots of street drifting (shhh) Picture taken by Mr. Mad Mike Changed wheels again and got me a oem front lip & Navan sideskirts And now currently 4/2013 I got this crazy idea to throw in a 1uzfe motor from a 1992 LS400. Purchased the motor with harness and ECU for $260! My plans are to run my KA transmission and later upgrade to a 350z transmission. Thanks to Brett Collins at Collinsadaptors.com this will be possible. Here's what I got done so far... When I found her Took her out and brought her home Started breaking her down and get her cleaned up and ready for a rebuild Hey look there I am lol Got new Oil Pump, Water Pump New Rings for the Pistons Unfortunately I can't find the pictures of the Crank and Rod Bearings install but I got those in there (ACL Race Series Bearings) Got the the Valve Covers Wrinkle Coated in Red (my S14 patiently waiting in the back) How she currently stands as of 4/3/13 Last edited by Sezio; 04-23-2013 at 11:25 AM.. |

Little update*
The last runner for driver side exhaust manifold hits my steering column so I had to cut it off. I'm gonna have to get a straight piece of piping to go around it and then go down to the Y-Pipe I'm gonna use. Also I noticed the oil pan may have some clearance issues with the sway bar. I'll post pictures later today. |

Sikky's sway bar works good with this swap. No need to mod oil pans or anything...

Here's a little update...
I said screw $100 for egr plates so I made my own haha. Not the best looking ones but they do the job. Got the KA transmission bolten up. And in she goes for good this time after the 8th time. Clearance for exhaust manifolds not so bad but I did have to Frankenstein the Driver side due to it hitting the Steering Shaft. It looks like crap but I'll get myself some Tundra headers later on and do it better. |

Thanks a lot for the compliments guys. I don't have much left to do but Wiring, Shorten Driveshaft 1-5/8", Wire up Electric Fans, KA Power steering hoses extended, and intake system.
I actually wired up the Starter last night and cranked it over. Sounded so smooth! |
