kevins kouki build !!!

Well to sum to sum it up i built this car to replace my old zenki i crashed in to a side of mountain playing around with my friends lol. its been almost done for 2 years now but its defently changed over the years!!

Back story crashed my car and i was super desperate for a s14 shell i checked every where. Not having a truck or tow was a pain in the ass. but after a month of looking i found a shell. Here is ugly... picked up in union city from some Jamaican dude clamming it was running and the best car in the world lol.. far from it..

i then got it home to strip it and toss in my sr from my old s14. Heres my motor coming out of my old

motor pull from old zenki by Aallmighty, on Flickr

was out. this build is so complecated because my s14 i modded already was kinda built the engine mods are gt2860rs, tomei 256 cams tomei ras random manifold. blitz dp greddy pulleys blah blah blah no one cares lol.

so i rented a uhaul and a tow bed .. million dollars btw from them drove about 25 miles from my house to union city to pick up the so called best car ever lol. i dont have any picks but the next day got it home and started to strip it. And use all the good stuff from my old shell.

i then got a half assed beat kouki hood and and some cheap frp fenders. i fogured the zenki front was all beat might as well commit and go kouki.. plus i had the parts so it would be cheap LOL.. so wrong was i. I seriously have this thing with attention to detail.. this is how it all came out with all the shit parts

now i know its looking bad but just keep reading

coming together by Aallmighty, on Flickr

so i put the car together decide to work with what i have keep the fenders and hood and score a jdm bumper retainer and greddy lip. this is the first day after it gets out of paint and where the build kinda starts.

at this point i figured the car needed to be one color and i needed a few up grades I've. to tell you guys the truth.. I've had this car dynoed making 330 whp with 300 pounds of torque. and I've been running on a busted to fuck vlsd that just doesn't allow me to do any thing... so i picked up this

Then i decided i wasn't really happy with the 300zx brake's wound up buying some wilwoods forged superlite kit with 13 inch rotors.

so before i even purchased this stuff about 3 months ago i wound up replacing my all my rear subframe bushings with pbm solid subframe risers and spl solid diff bushings. it makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE. Although its very loud lol its worth it for the diff I'm dropping in. i did it all by my self took me about 3 days because i had the shop press the bushings in to the subframe.. lol and then i decided to paint the subframe orange lol rattle can.

i lied i can't stop lol i should be doing my home work but ill start that after this post. So me being crazy i really wanted a bad ass strut brace set up so my friend sold me a rare newer nismo s tune strut bar and i ordered nagisa shakiito plates from rhdjp. i really like the set up although it makes it a pain in the ass to change you're clutch and brake fluid lolz. i also wound up doing spl outer tie rods and 300zx inners really nice. its worth the money.

So after a few days of figuring out all the little things I needed. I put in my tomei LSD. Broke it in last night. Going to do a few more figure 8s then drain the diff fluid


I also got around installing my wilwood brake kit. Took me 3 attempts to get the right sized fittings lol but I got them. Speed shop kept selling me the wrong ones.
