My S14.5

[jackson]

I bought this CS14 late last year. I wanted a black kouki, with no rust issues and lightly modified.

I spent ages trying to find one in Ireland but failed, I found this purple one in Galway which was 2/3 and had no trace of vvt rattle which was a complete headwreck on my last s14.

Spent the last few months tidying it up and trying to get rid of tackiness.

I got some Apex comfies for it to replace some teins as I thought they were knocking, turned out to be a subframe bushing but the coilovers are really nice. Otherwise its mainly been fixing little things to pass the NCT.

It has some bits and pieces, all the engine work was done in Japan so its not really clear but what I know of:

-Nismo injectors
-Tubular manifold
-HKS induction, Z32 maf, metal suction pipe
-BB turbo
-A/M high lift cams
-Sports cat, HKS cat-back
-Cusco 2-way
-2x Stich Mesh 17" and 2x I don't know what
-Greddy front mount
-Apex Gen 2 Comfortable coilovers
-Origin Kit
-Poly bushed subframe
-Nardi dished wheel
-Bride drivers recliner
-Greddy Profec b
-Greddy boost gauge
-oil and water temp and oil pressure gauges
-Hicas lockout

It's got a little printout sticker on the dash from Autobacs saying 231.1ps, I don't know how that equates to what it is now but it feels fairly quick, faster than my old s15 anyway

The wheels really let it down so I've got a full set of Volk GT-C face 2's on the way from Japan, 17x10 +13, 17x9 +19

Nice car my man! What u think of the 2 way diff??

[jackson]

Cheers! I'm not a fan of the diff. My driving is all on the road, I think the only impact the 2-way has for me is having to explain that my car's not broken to everyone who sits in it... If I come across an s15 one handy I think I'll swap it out

[gaswizards]

Lol I know what ya mean! Thanks for the feedback on the diff!

[NismoNut]

Well wear on the new 14, best of luck with it
Its a cool looking colour.

[jackson]

Thanks man, just looking through your build thread there, your car looks really well. Those wheels are class! I don't know what it is about the front wings on mine, just doesn't look right

[NismoNut]

Thanks man,
it could be the position of the side repeaters, theyre usualy placed behind the wheel.
Most new conversion wings are vented aswell, older S15 conversion kits used an s14 and and s15 wing slapped together and some of them
were badly done and wouldnt sit right.

I finally got my new wheels on:
