This is a really clean example of a Aus-delivered 1997 S14a Sports. The car is manual and turbo charged. It is located in the eastern side of Melbourne (Kew East, Melway P45), approx 15mins from city.

It has been well looked after and in excellent condition. The engine never gets boosted and still runs the standard turbo. It doesn't get raced or thrashed. It comes with road worthy and 12 month registration, basically drive away. Never receives attention from the police and is driven sensibly.

The engine is reliable and responsive with only 112,000km. It starts without hesitation. Like the engine, the manual gearbox is also smooth and gear selection simple. Steering is light and tires have lots of life left.

The exterior is in especially good condition. The car was originally red but has been professionally re-sprayed in championship white. The detail of the job means it is impossible to tell the car has been re-prayed during normal day driving (only the engine bay has been left red). The color is sharp and clean.

The body kit comes from ings+1 (famous Japanese brand) and features a vertex style front bar with its quality and craftsmanship proven through its rigidity and strength.

Interior is clean and fabric is still soft and fresh. Previous owner didn't smoke. No rips or burn marks present.

Overall it's a pleasure to drive.

Main Modifications include:

Genuine HKS intercooler

Turbo back 3" Mandrel bent exhaust

Genuine Ings+1 body kit w/t vertex style front bumper (http://www.ings-net.com/top.html)

17" Advanti wheels

K&N air filter

Interior leather detailing and sports steering wheel

Inspection is welcome for genuine buyers only. Email me at [email protected] or PM is fine. Not interested in swaps.

Regards Patrick

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
