# Soju : Nice find! and the R32 sedan looks really clean :)
# Nightkid : Boy oh boy , that R32 looks awesome ! Oh and congrats on the S14!
# Asahi : Oh man you're right about that decision.S14 is a great car for this kind of work, I wish you success. :thumbsup:
# marcus915 : that r32 sedan looks great! i love the coupe taillight conversion, looks like it was done quite well by the previous owner. I've always wanted to get into one but I'm never able to find one that I like. The S14 shows promise too, time will tell what direction you take with it!
# BigSmoke : Well indeed if you're going to go drfiting all-out, it's much safer to get a project car that you won't regret so much when you damage them and you're still free from the risk of taking a looooong walk home. (Well, says the guy who competitively races his daily and doesn't want to lose his current missile car :)) )

Nice choice as well! Not only it's an S-Chassis which means cheap mods are available and it's easy to tune, S14s can be found for cheap around the internet (at least in Japan and probably UK) so you can acquire another should this one (well god forbid) ended its life prematurely. And seeing that it might have been rear-ended, you might want to check the structures (panels?) behind the rear bumper. Or uh, might as well weld a bash bar on it.

Thanks for your nice comments!

I don't think chassis is damaged tho, it seems pretty straight.


ACTUALLY BUYS T28 LIKE A BOSS

turbo time




Since I bought the S14 I did a check on fluids and they seemed good enough so I decided to get straight to a turbo kit, an used one but it's a turbo kit after all. It incldes a crusty s15 manifold, a garret t28 in relatively good condition (no shaft play, no scratches on turbines etc.) dirty old hks filtrer, all blitz piping and intercooler. I aimed for good response and 250-300 ps with this kit since engine just isn't in the perfect condition. I also get apexi power fc and hks turbo timer with it.



As long as it works, it works! :DD I couldn't get the bumper back on becouse piping and intercooler was hitting the bumper, try to fix it somehow later.



Since car came with tein coilovers I lowered the car down a bit yet I couldn't assume how low it gets so it sits in a modest height right now. I might change it later tho...

Edit: forgot to mention I took of that boring a$$ badges too lol
