The Official "i Beat The Shit Out Of This S14" Thread

[want_33]

after selling my RB26 S13 start of last year to fund my track car i have finally got it to the stage where i am happy to just drive it.

It has come a long way (no pun intended) since i shipped it over from JPC in Western Australia. Turning up with a dead clutch (which was replaced by the seller) and a fairly average body after finishing up second in the WA drift series last year i had a lot of maintenance to do to get it up to scratch.

Tidied it up a fair bit and took it to its first track day, was a success even tho i managed to shatter a cast rear hub got it replaced over night and finished somewhere in the top 10.

Did some more tidying up, picked up a few local sponsors, 8 new matching rims, some vinyl and decent tyre's and we were back at the track. The new grip was amazing but car was severely down on power which we couldn't work out track side (ended up being dead EBC) and still managed to smash a drive shaft. But got some more valuable seat time in the car.

Pulled the car apart one last time and removed the S15 front for good. Custom 180sx conversion guards, type X front bar and a S13 bonnet with projector headlights had the car looking alot meaner. replaced drive shaft with a reco unit and back to the track with Ferds and Project D guys for a prac day at WSID on the return road (video below)

The night before i stopped in to see Chea at Powertune and had a freshen up tune performed. Made 250kw keeping it ultra safe at my request.

Was a killer day at WSID the following day and got some more valuable seat time with some fast 3rd gear entries and learning alot about how the car handles with some pace behind it. Blew another drives haft, same side but luckily someone had a spare, some cash exchanged hands and we were back on the track.

After this day i managed to secure a few extra minor sponsors to help out, and the car has received a full CAMO vinyl wrap for the 2012 season. Just waiting for some room at the signwriters so i can take car back in for the sponsor decals to be fitted.

Would like to welcome to the team
