carbon looks great simon, show us more!!!

well not a lot has happened to the s14 lately but i finally have parts and the next 3-4 weeks are going to be FULL ON. so here goes the updates!

Got the motor back from machinist... hot washed the block, hone, new welsh plugs, decked the block, grubscrewed the crank, linished crank, skimmed the head, hardness tested and pressure tested the head. new valve stem seals and general clean up. all going back together this weekend with total seal rings, ACL race bearings for mains and big ends (new ones again) full nissan gasket kit and deciding to go back to OEM head gasket instead of the MLS gasket i was using.

finally painted the engine bay and inside... tho i ran out of paint and didnt fully finish some parts of the inside.. makes it very difficult with full windows in to paint the inside of a car lol. Will have to finish the rest later on cause im all out of time/paint etc to do the rest. All in all.. looks shit loads better

what rods/pistons are you going to run?

[Simon-S14]

RB26 rods with APR studs and ACL race bearings. stock pistons with JE total seal rings.

no point in going forgies... stock pistons are not the weak link IMO

[Simon-S14]

got my mate Hayden at All Type Crash to paint my engine covers for the new motor... shit looks unreal. Its a Candy apple metallic orange... pretty cool! Heres some pics.. some of the pics are of it before the clear was applied.

Obviously missed the post where you were going 26 head, had to go searching.

Awesome work as usual.

Can't wait for vids of it doin' its thang.

[On Edge]

awesome simon love the covers!!!

Many modifications needed to fit the 26 head?

Isn't missing VCT going to be a bit of a killer?

[Simon-S14]

not really when it sees over 4000 rpm most of the time.

only mods needed is to block VCT oil feed off and thats about it

[Simon-S14]

and another update.

And this is the cluster mount for my haltech IQ3 dash.. more pics once i get it

[N1GTR]

Wow - not wasting any time!

[Simon-S14]

nah i just want to finish this thing.... sick of working so many late nights on it... thats the down side of doing 90% of shit yourself i guess

The joys of doing everything yourself! It takes time!

Good work mate!

[Simon-S14]

too true.. i just dont have the budget to afford to pay someone else to do everything else for me. plus im a qualified mechanic so i'd be stupid to palm it off anyway haha.

another day done... more work done.. not as much progress as i'd like as i spent more time scraping gaskets off the rb26 intake gear then actually achiving stuff... man those gaskets are a fkn PAIN to remove!!

[Simon-S14]

Flocked dash in...

We run 3 bond on ours now. the standard ones are expensive, and a pain to remove. stands upto 23 psi fine

[Simon-S14]

nice tip... i prob would have done the same but i bought a complete engine gasket kit from the states... but yeah full PITA to remove
