As you all know there was a huge meeting at Nikko circuit, Skip and i went there to check out the guys from the forum. The cars were really nice, we saw some great drifting too!
There was 11000rpm with his JZX100 drift car, Soju with his beautiful Supra, Bad.Compqny with his S13 missile, Mackay with a E46, Holeecrab with his sick VR38 swapped GT86 and more! Skip decided not to drift his 180 because it was a little beaten up from a Mobara drift session with Renaruto. One of the tires blew and we hit a wall, pretty scary moment but it was nothing major, we just changed the wheel and drove off to Nikko.

When we got back home, we started to work on my S14.
It has arrived a few days ago, and so did the RB26. Before swapping it in i needed some more parts to make everything work so me and Skip paid a visit to UpGarage again, he bought some stuff for his 180 too. We bought a Nismo LSD for the S14, and a custom driveshaft made for RB swapped S chassis. It works with a RB25 RWD transmission and my RB26 has it, so we chose the right part.


The engine mounts needed some adjustments to fit with the RB26 because of its oil pan, but after that it fit like a glove!


Fortunately there was enough space for the piping, intercooler and everything.


The engine was in place, then we installed the transmission, driveshaft and differential.


While shopping in UpGarage i also found this GP Sports exhaust system, i almost forgot my S14 didn't have one yet. First i took off the Top Secret diffuser cause the exhaust tip wouldn't fit there otherwise. The pipes didn't really fit with the headers and downpipe but Skip managed to fix that. Thanks mate!


Long story short, my S14 now runs and drives! I did a quick test down the street as you can see. Well the main part is done but there's a whole lot of wiring problems. Most of the electronics don't work at all, hopefully that will get sorted out asap.


Now Skip's 180 needs some repairs, it's about to get painted too so i'll have some work for the next few days, hope i'll have some time for the S14 though.
Stay tuned for more updates from Japan and the States!
