drifty norwegian S14 build: the saga begins (potential modem killer thread) - Drifting forum

smokey · 30-03-2007, 14:39

hi good folks, and welcome to my garage.

in december i came across NTCjay's s14 for sale, so after a few emails, i got on a plane and went to england to pick the car up.

sales pics

when i bought the car, it already had the following:

Engine:
SR20 2.0 turbo,
Rebuilt 10,000 miles ago including "new oil pump, rings, bearings, gaskets, honed bores etc. (hand-honed, just took the head of by the looks of things)

4000 mile old Garrett Gt28r (actually a gt25...)
HKS Induction Kit with a fresh element
HKS SSQV
HKS EVC4 boost controller
Straight through exhaust (single box at back with removable bung)
Walbro fuel pump
Denso plugs
HKS boost gauge
Autometer Oil temp and pressure Gauges
Mocal 19 row Oil cooler

Suspension:

Nearly new Apex coilovers with adjustable top mounts
Tein tie rods
Tein tie rod ends
Whiteline rear Anti roll bar
Pineapple bushes set to drift position
Adjustable rear camber arms with rose joints.

Driveline:

Exedy clutch
BARA 600% uprated lsd

Interior:

Corbeau Pro Series Bucket seat on DW super low subframe (sold, due to wide arse)
S13 passenger seat
Snap off suede steering wheel
”Homer” gear knob
Drift button on the handbrake
Not much else!

EXTERIOR....
Vertex style front bumper and skirts

Wheels:

16” Panasport c7 split rims
7” fronts 8” rear

after a loooooooooooooooooooong drive in a corbau seat that was about 1" too small for me, my hips hated me, and i had gotten to newcastle. here's a pic from outside my moms cousin' house.

the day after, i went on the boat and across to stavanger.
well.. driving a car set up for drifting, on partially worn summer tires from stavanger to oslo late december is what one could call tempting fate, but then again, it's a roadtrip

it took me about 11 hours to get home due to bad roads here and there. but, it was safely home and put in the garage. after ordering a heap of parts, both from

and a friend, the work started.

we started by having it dyno'ed.
result: 240rwhp at max, 214rwhp average.

then we took it back to the garage to get started.
first, we test fitted the turbo, and that looked cool.

turbo test fitting

after test fitting, the engine and gearbox came out, so the engine could get new internal parts.

87mm JEpiston.

other than that, i've ordered

-dta P8PRO fuel management system
-eagle rods
-dw rockerarm stoppers
-new cams
-fuel pressure reg
-adjustable camsprockets
-3" stainless race exhaust, with 4" exit
-hydro handbrake
-uprated sump for sr20
-uprated diff backplate
-superwide carbon wing from dw
-front and rear strutbrace
-front swaybar
-dw 4-arm kit
-nismo gear- and enginemounts
-poly steeringrack bushes
-subframe bushes
-front innerarm bushes
-other reararm bushes
-2 semi-bucket seats
-2 new 4-point harnesses
-original size, slotted brakediscs
-other misc. parts

feel lucky? (sorry for ruining the picture

)

the work so far:

-the engine is out, and at my builder. (therefore not many pics of that)
-all bushes are changed
-subframe and reararms painted

a sorry sight

but looking better now

before

after (paint still wet)

had to testfit the new rear arms

nismo gearbox mount

nismo enginemounts and steeringrack bushes

my "to-do" list:

-getting the hydro handbrake fitted
-make seatmounts
-paint rear diff and other small parts (while waiting for other parts)
-mount engine and gearbox (when that's ready)
-mount the fmic and piping
-relocate battery to boot
-fit kill-swithces inside and out
-get rear subframe mounted

after the car is ready:
-get the engine dialed in
-adjust suspension and controlarms
-send the car off to have the rollcage mounted

i'll be spending a lot more time at the workshop from now, and i've got a cameraphone, so pic's will be added every few days.

i love comments, so say what you think

and regarding the paintwork and rims, i can't afford that at the moment, so that has to wait for next winter before i do anything with that.
besides, this year is only a test-year, so next year i'll be trying for some good results.

cheers

onother mad car in norway! man does the government gives you guys money to start drifting or something?

slidewaysdrifter · 30-03-2007, 14:55

remember when this was for sale good to see someone putting it to good use good luck keep pics coming

**SteveDunn** · 30-03-2007, 14:55

Nice

smokey · 30-03-2007, 14:57

pmsl!!!

the goverment here hates cars, with a passion,

but it's free to have a non-registered car, so all the money that would have been used to have it on the road, can go towards getting it on the track instead

SimonB · 30-03-2007, 16:19

thats pretty sweet indeed :P.. dex when are we moving ? :P...

loved the car when it was for sale and now loving it even more

..
keep it going

here's a few new pics of what was done last night.

i think it's coming on great. what do you guys think?

here the front arms are all poly'd up and ready to go

a few hours later, the front arms where done, the dw castorarms on and the whiteline swaybar was on. front end sorted

so moving backwards, i've started putting the subframe back together.
look kind of porn if you ask me (but the again, i'll be biast

)

that's just a quick overview of last night.
it'll be more pics later tonight.

cheers

Dex · 02-04-2007, 11:43

this is true, if you arse is as wide as snakes shoulders, but if your like me and have a little extra, all over, and strap in with a 4-pointer, it's no problem.
there is a little support there, but not enought to dislocate my hips like the seat that was in when i bought it.

smokey · 02-04-2007, 21:48

well, today seems like a total waste. used the whole day making the brackets and mounting the fmic.

here i've just started making the brackets

halfway there. not too happy with the first one, but it still does the job

and a load of sigarettebrakes, coffe and half a pizza later

it ended up looking like this

it's homemade, so i'm kinda proud...

this is my airfilter

so that was todays work, went a little slow, but hey, it's monday.

LEVIN'A'REVIN' · 02-04-2007, 22:43
