i notice that rust spot you got there in the bay..seems to be a very common problem with this cars. just curious about how you went along fixing that ? I was planning on grinding my down really good and using por-15 over it, then paint.

which spot are you referring to? The rust near the frame rail was patched by the shop, no idea how they fixed it...

mr_eh · 05-27-2011, 10:20 PM

sticky icky

no, really

this saved me a lot of headaches

manual and auto brake boosters, the auto was what I had and the 35r was hitting the bmc, aka, bad. manual one gave me enough clearance for a blanket... the more you know

let's get wacky

no, seriously... why not

brakes should match the valve cover..

front wheel

oh, hey project kics(sp) no idea how to spell em!

dat ass

I like how your car looks.

DustinSixOh9 · 05-27-2011, 10:43 PM

I'm going to crash my car into yours.
If I can somehow catch up to it.

mr_eh · 05-27-2011, 10:48 PM

it'll be in my driveway every night.

Om1kron what are you not a fan of? The wheels? I just wanted to try something wacky with them... do you hate the the oem skirts/lip/rear valances that are sitting in my room waiting to be painted with the rest of the car? or the carbon creations hood/trunk or the origin 20mm front and 30mm rear fenders that I haven't bought yet because I don't care about how it looks until it runs perfect? I want to impress you so please let me know what to change.

only people with gold cars understand.

KingFresh22 · 05-28-2011, 07:06 AM

From one gold member to another, this will be sexy once completed.

blueshark123 · 05-28-2011, 07:51 AM

gold doesn't go with teal and it never will. Also im sure alot of people on here think fnor1c are played out, but its your car have fun with it. It is a nice build besides that.

k0013 · 05-28-2011, 08:53 AM

A classic five spoke wheel will NEVERbe played out.

gist864 · 06-02-2011, 09:08 PM

idk what they are talkin about i like how the car looks the teal with the gold is diff but flows with the car

are you kidding me? of course these wheels are played out, but who gives a fuck.. if the owner wants them, more power to him. i cant say i like much about the looks. to each his own.

just remember, fn01rc = circa 2000 stock 240sx wheels

BoostSlideWayz · 06-02-2011, 11:15 PM

No matter what anyone says i see nothing wrong with this car or his decisions... Kind of annoying how some people dont like others JUST because its not their own taste.....

DustinSixOh9 · 06-02-2011, 11:26 PM

There's no such thing as a wheel that isn't "played out."

Finish this thing pas

It's ok, I just wanted to have a little fun and do something wacky with something that is not permanently affixed to the car. I knew people weren't going to like it - hell, I'm not even sure if I like it - I'd just like to drive the car and get it tuned and see what kind of power it makes, a 400$ color choice on wheels that people don't like doesn't affect my affinity for attempting a 500whp sr20 build cause it's something I felt like doing one day

out of my hands! It's almost done-ish, at least mechanically...

mr_eh · 06-12-2011, 11:24 PM

minor update but adding to the gernal

mr_eh · 08-07-2011, 07:12 PM

so, updates... car made 315whp on 12lbs of boost, completely ran out of money so saving up for a full tune - car runs real dope - r/t tuning put a base tune on it in pa, gonna get back there asap and see what kinda power the car makes, then save up to make it pretty over winter

bladetech8 · 08-08-2011, 04:57 AM

Awesome! Pretty sleeper looking S14 there.. What is sitting under that engine bay is no joke! I like that SR you got there..
Regardless, the car is looking good, I'm glad you're approaching this build in your own way.. Oh and don't paint it.. Just waiting for that factory Aero to come on body colored..

Oh and rock those FN's.. I got a full set myself.. Lightweight wheel designed in japan, 100x better than all that knockoff ish floating around these days..

I know what you mean there, Everyone said I was crazy making a 2 piece wheel 1 color, as if it would cause the earth to spin against itself and everything would combust and blow up. =/

Peoples say they look like shit in pictures, other people ask me if they're ever going up for sale when they see them in person.

To each his own, quite frankly I'm not a fan of those wheels but it's your car so my opinion doesn't matter.

I don't believe I said I hate anything on your car, but thanks for giving me an excuse for why your car looks the way it does. The other guy here that built an engine bay and a nice motor has a pretty ugly zenki too, but you know what it's his car. Same for the other guy who has the flat black s14 with the strawberry face and advan wheels. The car is ugly as shit, but the motor and fuel setup is on point.

We're not a rich community by far, I'll be the first to tell you. People who start up these track car, whatever car build threads never finish the car, sell it off or get trade happy for something more half complete than what their working with and eventually will trade their way into a complete car.

My car is far from being finished, and I just so happened to get lucky with the aesthetics portion of it. I wish I was where you're at in the engine department but I'm still a good year off before my motor is anything more than a stock 200hp daily drivable machine.

You have a great thing going on under the hood, but again your car isn't finished so I can't really say I hate anything until you say your car is done.

Then you can really work on pleasing me bud!

thanks, I have black skirts white valance unpainted front lip unfortunately

trying to work it out so I get the car repainted champagne gold and match the aero - eventually I'll consider wrapping it but it needs a freshening up first!

thanks, I do too - kinda slowed my rush to get the exterior on point, probably gonna wait till winter hits to get it going

mr_eh · 08-13-2011, 09:12 AM

took her out on the break in tune for some 1/4 passes for kicks... [email protected] with a 2.1 60 foot, 12lbs of boost, I was happy with this run...
MVI_5607.MOV - YouTube

the second run, not so happy with
Pas 2nd - YouTube

5000k clutch slip shattered something in the drivetrain, didn't leak anything or drop any parts, engine seems fine, car rolls in first but it feels like first gear is gone... but whatever, will update when I find out what happened

mr_eh · 12-19-2011, 01:48 PM

update as promised; snapped an axle =V clutch was fine and the seals on the diff were warped... replacing all the synchros in the trans that were worn upon dissasembly of the trans... replacing with oem axles, never launching the car again. trying to get it back and body work/painted before spring gets in full swing... not in any particular rush... gotta get the full tune on as well...

mr_eh · 07-09-2012, 08:44 PM

Still looks the same; sorry guys... but did get a tune

463whp on 26lbs on a dyno dynamics... the 3 bar map sensor for the pfc wasnt liking it, getting a 5bar and going back to it
