s14 hubs

s14 stubaxles

r33 rotors

r33 calipers

cefiro lower control arms with r33 balljoints pressed in (r33/s14 same balljoint taper/assembly and stub axle/hub)

dont use s14 or r33 lower control arms... extra 10mm in track can play with camber adjustment and be abitch thus i opted to use stock arms

pedders suspension charged 100 bucks for brand new balljoints to be pressed into my arms

40 a balljoint and 10 per side to press

one thing which im wondering about your setup konect is r33 dont use normal front coilovers like the silvia range... due to being irs they mount like a rear set dont they? makes me think you cant use r33 lower control arms and/or stub axle... would need to swap for s14 items

supposedly can use r32 front hubs slotted into standard stub axles also... thats what i did with my rear atleast - used z32 rear hubs slotted straight into my factory stub axle using factory drum handbrake setup... then slotted the brakes over

back on track

update on my car

5 stud completed yesterday as above... front section brand new coilovers come out of the gfs s15 and into my car tomorrow so i can have my full set back

exhaust was cancelled this morning as my guy called in sick to work so couldnt do it... rebooked for tuesday

got some interior bits i was missing today and installed - airvent surrounds etc

copped some gutter rash on my drivers side rear rim tonite at this ridiculously tight roundabout

attempted the white dial mod to dash cluster last nite

took 2 smokes straight and i had it done with all the green caps removed and reinstalled (did it in carpark whilst eating hj's as i always carry 3 toolboxes with me full of tools (just incase!))

only problem... they were a yellow tinge... so today took cluster out again and installed phillips ultravission hyperwhite/blue globes...

the cluster is now super bright - i love it... however it now has a green tinge due to the factory dials green coating... so im wondering how to fix this? it has been mentioned to use thinners on the dials to remove the green?

front rimsys should arrive this week also - already got new front tyres to stretch on when they arrive

also added some stickers today to rear quarters... pics up shortly!

Yeh I have all the parts off the R33 but was planning to use the S14 front hubs and lower control arms. But it seems you say that I can use the standard lower control arms if I get the new ball joint. Correct? So then I would only need the S14 hubs for the fronts.

R33 rears bolt on apparently. Mmmm drum handbrake.

its height man dont worry... now 5 stud is on it looks a lil better... slammed at front too just needs to come down at the rear

respray is on the cards... already lined up... but unsure when... its either going to be turbo conversion or respray... i know which is cheaper (respray) but am really hanging for some power to actually use the car

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
