Well,

I got rid of this knock off BOV and installed a TurboXS Type-S RFL
Much better response, the old knock off had to be leaking...

I also unistalled the ISIS Blast Pipes and installed an ISIS GT Spec, non resonated, Catback exhaust

I like the sound better, it's definitely more quiet, even without the silencer(which makes it ridiculously soft). The Full ISIS Blast pipe setup is now for sale!!!

ALSO, I need to identify this rear diff.

I have an OEM VLSD sitting here and I am trying to figure out what I will need to install it.

I though at first it was a J30 diff, but it has no ABS ring. It came from JSPEC in VA, and Im starting to think it was an S14 OEM VLSD from a Japanese Silvia. It does have the 5 Bolt output flanges on it, so I need to either swap axles or I need to swap the output shafts?

Is it possible for me to just swap the output shafts from my stock open diff (6 bolt flange) to this diff?

It doesn't look like this one has a longer snout for the ABS so my driveshaft should be good, correct?

Sleepy_Steve · 10-06-2014, 08:11 AM

I don't think those stub shafts on the diff swap over. I can't remember for sure. I might be able to pull my 5 bolt shafts and bring them down with me in a few weeks. I think I have to go back to an open diff for next year as i want to go to a 1.5 way diff, so the VLSD axles are useless to me.

As for your organization of a local meet... CCVT car show is on the 25th... I'm planning on being there. Don't think I'll have my S14 with me, but I'll buy those blast pipes off you there if you still have them.

*e1_griego* · 10-06-2014, 09:11 AM

Probably non-abs R33 GTS-T.

It'll be a 37:9 ratio rather than 49:12 (so 4.11 vs 4.08).

I have one sitting in my garage that I actually pulled apart this weekend that came out of a friend's r33.

I used to know a lot of the ccvt guys, I graduated from vt in 11. I had Virginia tech Subaru while I was there. I imagine I'll be around for that .

Non vlsd output shafts won't fit, but other vlsd shafts will I believe

Sleepy_Steve · 10-06-2014, 10:06 AM

True, I've always had better luck swapping axles... Mostly because they seem to be easier to find than different stub shafts.

Interesting, I wonder if I've met you before. I finished in winter 2009 and was living there working in town for about a year and a half till the end of 2013.

Maybe so, at the time I would have had my 2004 Aspen White STI... When I lived in Blacksburg it would have been on gold, 17x9's but later it was on gloss black wheels. Stephen Holzer, Brock C, Markus, etc.. were all in VT Subaru with me...

brianglawson · 10-06-2014, 05:04 PM

Im about to order a Boost gauge and a Wideband A/F gauge for the car tomorrow. Most likely go with a mechanical boost. Im also going to order a little Hallman or something to pacify me for a while...

My car is running rich, I already know this. Im on Wastegate pressure, with the stock s15 480cc injectors and a Walbro 255 fuel pump. I have a full exhaust, intake and z32 maf.. Im wondering what I can run safely in terms of boost until I can run it down to 42 Autosports and have a proper tune

brianglawson · 10-09-2014, 07:09 AM

Boost gauge, Boost Controller, New OEM Console bits, super cool nismo oil cap and 300zx Rear 2 piston brake setup ordered!

FEAL is waiting on a few long travel shock rods to complete my Suspension build. I can't wait to get my hands on that stuff

brianglawson · 10-09-2014, 04:50 PM

Im looking for a good MBC, Boost Gauge and BOV vacuum diagram. I want to ensure this BOV is routed correctly, and I also want to make sure I throw this Hallman and a mechanical boost gauge inline correctly

brianglawson · 10-12-2014, 08:49 AM

Autometer Ultra Lite II boost gauge and a Hallman are installed. Running at a steady 14-15 psi right now. The mbc really made the car feel a bit better. even with the boost dialed out to stock level, it feels more responsive.

fun stuff.

Still waiting on my Feal Coilovers. I can't wait to have it up a few inches, sorted out and thrown on some scales!

brianglawson · 10-20-2014, 04:07 PM

FEAL coilovers are here!

Car is tore apart
Installing z32 rear brakes
Stainless lines
FEAL coilovers

I'm also doing a little refinishing on the calipers. I have 30mm aluminum front 4pots and the rear 2pots. Pretty excited to get that all sewn up

I also ordered some Voodoo13 tension rods and some Voodoo13 rear toe rods. I currently have Isis toe and traction rods, and cusco camber rods... one heim on the rear toe rods was bad, so I figured I would start upgrading everything slowly to something that has standard threaded heims.

I'm stoked to get them in, Voodoo13 stuff looks soooo nice, plus that nice "made in America" factor

My Nardi Gara Sport and a new e brake knob arrived also.
New boots have been ordered, lost in shipping and reordered from topgaiters

Lastly, just before I took it apart this time I took a few hours and installed some Energy Suspension Poly Steering Rack bushings. .. that was my favorite mod so far. .. getting some nice feedback Out of my steering now and it's much tighter and more direct.

Oh yea. Picked up a new OTRE too...

Big things, Big things. ...

Oh yea. .. might have scored some vlsd 6 bolt output flanges so I can get this diff installed

brianglawson · 11-02-2014, 10:51 AM

My S14 and it had 30mm Z32 Aluminum calipers on the front already. Im in the middle of installing z32 rear brakes and decided I would take all four calipers and paint them.

Well, after painting them, I noticed this....

This is the fitting that screws into the back of the caliper, which then allows the Stainless brake lines to attach.

I know the threads going into the caliper are M10x1.0 and that end obviously has an inverted flare. Are the male threads on the other side (the side that im holding with my finger) also M10x1.0 or would they be -3AN or -4AN???

I haven't found anything like it at the local parts stores, it doesn't help that the employees there don't even know where to begin to look... idiots.. "who made a 300zx??"

Anyway.. I can't believe the previous owner tightened it so much that this happened...

brianglawson · 11-02-2014, 10:55 AM

Scored some SSR Competition Type C wheels for the S14 yesterday!!!

17x8.5 +42 Front and 17x9.5 +35 (i believe) rear

When I went to buy them, I was told they were +35 front and rear, but I noticed the front were actually+42. I planned on running spacers anyway, so no biggie. I like getting the higher offset and being able to fine tune how they sit.

Im thinking a 10-11mm spacer in the front and a 3-4mm spacer in the rear would be good.

I need to buy some new extended lugs for the rear since the z32 hubs I installed don't have extended studs like my old one... Need to find some good spacers also

brianglawson · 11-08-2014, 03:02 PM

Little Wheel and Interior Preview, excuse the mess!!!

I played with some vinyl wrap, not sure if I will continue it or not, but I do kind of like it!

Apex Eight · 11-08-2014, 03:04 PM

Mmmm, dat travel. Nice work man.

RalliartRsX · 11-08-2014, 04:03 PM

Pics of the wheels?? Also, how much did you pay for those badboys??

5280VertDET · 11-08-2014, 04:08 PM

What wrap did you use, looks better than most?

brianglawson · 11-08-2014, 04:50 PM

Ill upload some wheel pics shortly.

I got some 20mm hubcentric spacers for the front and 5mm hubcentric spacers for the rear. The edge of the rear wheel will be sitting out 5mm further from the hub than the edge of the front wheel. Sits good in the wheel wells I believe.

I have the car sitting on the ground, I have to trim some plastic in the rear passenger well to make room for those big tires.

My front is also sitting uneven, 1/4 higher on the passenger side with the coilovers both set equally to their lowest setting. I believe I am going to have FEAL make some custom brackets that will give me one more inch of low. I really only want about another 1/4 inch on the high side, but id like to have the flexibility. Plus, when I get new tires, I will get 255/40 and will want to close that gap a bit.

I also have to keep in mind that I will have some actual up travel!! doh!

For now, I have been playing with my vinyl plotter, Im going to make me an oil cap decal for this generic "nismo" ebay oil cap I got.

I also decided to go with some Smoothed Aluminum calipers front and rear. So I will be using decals for the logo on the caliper.

I have my calipers painted red, so im trying to decide what color vinyl to use. White, Silver, Gold, Green....

Im also trying to decide what to put on them....
"NISSAN", "SILVIA", "SUMITOMO", "NISMO", "STOP", "BREMBO" etc... probably wouldn't do Brembo... but you get the idea...

2muchboost · 11-09-2014, 06:20 AM

Brian....what tire size so you have on those? I have 17x8.5 +30 and 17x9.5 +35 on Gramlights 57ds, eager to see how your setup will sit when it's all done.

Im running 255/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear.
with the spacers, I'm running 17x8.5 +22 (originally +42) front and 17x9.5 +30 rear (originally +35)

I personally love how they sit. A little bit of camber front and rear and I think they are the definition of how a flush Wheel Tire combo should sit. I despise flush wheels only with stretched tires. I like tires that are at least square with the wheel.

You will likely want 5-8mm spacers for the front so you can clear your suspension with the inside of the tire/wheel

The rear will sit good as is, but I chose to get an extra 5mm for the rear for a little more aggressive fitment. At 17x8.5+22 and 17x9.5+35 the space between the hub and the outer edge of the wheels are equal, so with the extra 5mm in the back, it gives it that good little stagger

brianglawson · 11-09-2014, 07:08 AM

Hopefully today I'll get to pull it out of the garage and get a few profile shots. Oh yea, and I have to trim plastics in the rear passenger wheel well... the inside of the tire is rubbing on

2muchboost · 11-09-2014, 08:37 AM

Yeah I agree, the stretched tire thing isn't for me. Especially not with a slow 5.3 turbo build....need as much tire as I can.

I haven't dropped the setup on the car yet but currently I am on 225/40 front and 275/50 rears. Getting the fender work done for the 275 setup then dropping to a 255/40 while I stay NA. The. 275s will go back on once my out of state move is complete.

Will be using a 10mm spacer up front and 5mm rear.....slip on just like yours. Switch over to CTSV front calipers so I will need a little more room due to the size of these big calipers. Can't wait to see your car in its final stance. Keep up he good work bud.

Nice! im sure you will be happy with how they sit.

Do you have a build thread or any pics? I'd love to follow along.

My spacers were cheap, they are aluminum, hub centric, and included (though i didnt need them, it is nice to have spacers) Extended lug studs with them. They were $53. The rear are also hubcentric aluminum, they were $18 from a different seller. I guess at least I will have a bunch of spare extended studs. Those are always a pain to find in singles when you have one mess up

2muchboost · 11-09-2014, 10:35 AM

No build thread....its pathetic how little time I get to spend at the shop so its not even worthy of a build thread. I will put a brief thread together when its all done to help anyone that may need info.

I have ARP extended studs on there now so I should go with slip on but if you can PM me the info about where you got them. I have some H&R 20mm sitting in my garage which I am planning to sell at some point.

brianglawson · 11-19-2014, 06:59 AM

I got some 20mm hubcentric spacers for the front and 5mm hubcentric spacers for the rear. The edge of the rear wheel will be sitting out 5mm further from the hub than the edge of the front wheel. Sits good in the wheel wells I believe. I have the car sitting on the ground, I have to trim some plastic in the rear passenger well to make room for those big tires. My front is also sitting uneven, 1/4 higher on the passenger side with the coilovers both set equally to their lowest setting. I believe I am going to have FEAL make some custom brackets that will give me one more inch of low. I really only want about another 1/4 inch on the high side, but id like to have the flexibility. Plus, when I get new tires, I will get 255/40 and will want to close that gap a bit. I also have to keep in mind that I will have some actual up travel!! doh! For now, I have been playing with my vinyl plotter, Im going to make me an oil cap decal for this generic "nismo" ebay oil cap I got. I also decided to go with some Smoothed Aluminum calipers front and rear. So I will be using decals for the logo on the caliper. I have my calipers painted red, so im trying to decide what color vinyl to use. White, Silver, Gold, Green.... Im also trying to decide what to put on them.... "NISSAN", "SILVIA", "SUMITOMO", "NISMO", "STOP", "BREMBO" etc... probably wouldn't do Brembo... but you get the idea... __________________ S15 SR20DET Powered, Kouki S14 http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=578575

Especially not with a slow 5.3 turbo build....need as much tire as I can. I haven't dropped the setup on the car yet but currently I am on 225/40 front and 275/50 rears. Getting the fender work done for the 275 setup then dropping to a 255/40 while I stay NA. The. 275s will go back on once my out of state move is complete. Will be using a 10mm spacer up front and 5mm rear.....slip on just like yours. Switch over to CTSV front calipers so I will need a little more room due to the size of these big calipers. Can't wait to see your car in its final stance. Keep up he good work bud.

I will put a brief thread together when its all done to help anyone that may need info. I have ARP extended studs on there now so I should go with slip on but if you can PM me the info about where you got them. I have some H&R 20mm sitting in my garage which I am planning to sell at some point.
