What's up guys, it's been quite some time since I've posted about my S13. There hasn't been much hooning around since the start of the Christmas season into the new year because I was pretty busy with hanging out,and then some work. However,I managed to pick up a Christmas gift for the S13- a used set of 17x8.5 Racing Hart CP8 wheels. I also got the engine timing fixed and changed the oil. Hopefully I'm sending it off to paint before February comes around. I'm just going to finish up some body work and decide a colour and it'll be painted in no time. Sadly enough I'm considering selling her off. Either that,or a part out so I can scrape up some cash to put forward to my new project car. I'm not sure on what I'm picking up but I know for sure it'll be a newer model vehicle that probably WON'T be a beater like my S13.
There she is,looking pretty much the same except for the wheels. |

Alright, here's the long anticipated project thread for my drift build R33 GTS25t 2JZ.
The car now looks like this, and turns heads everywhere I take it: Hope you enjoyed reading! This post was edited by Harrison15 (2015-01-11 02:51, ago) |

2 months have passed and I have installed a new suspension on the Golf. The stock one was shot to hell and not quite enough for a motor that has 100HP more. The convertible also sports the 278mm Brembos that I got from stonedmonster; We had quite some fun
The BMW got the 330mm Endless brakes on the front: I also have stripped the Golf and it will be sanded. There is quite some rust on that thing It still has its original paint (Called Lemonyellow) and I'll try to get that color mixed. |

I sold the FD guys... I got a cool 25k for it. I went out and bought an Evo 6. It's got a 370z engine bizarrely. Who swaps out such a good 4 cylinder? Anywho, its N/A currently, and AWD, but its got roughly 300 bhp, and boy, does it fly! Sittin on some Gemballa Turbosports, chromed out, and the previous owner also managed to stick a Supra spoiler onto it. Too bad they couldn't put the engine from the Supra into it too

So, I found some fitting lip & sideskirts for my S14. The bucket seat I had in before was too small for me, so I bought 2 Recaro seats, they're very good. Here is the list of parts I installed/changed recently after my last post:
Everything I did cost me 2430 $. Next thing I am going to do is to work on the engine. First, I am going to add TURBO! This post was edited by Coprone (2015-01-11 15:07, ago) |

# 2jzCookie : @Harrison15 Loving that skyline! Do you have a link for it maybe? I know this aint the place to ask but whateverIt's his WIP Added 7 minutes later: I found a great intercooler with TWIN turbos for sale, immediately bought it. I couldn't say it was cheap, but it was worth it. Installing it was pretty easy. I only had to cut the bumper guard a little, not 2/3 of it like I usually have to. Of course I had to cut the bumper, but you couldn't even notice that it's modded. As my engine is RB26DETT & runs the whole power in rear, it's crazy car for drifting (in good meaning).

@coprone that s14a is looking great!
I picked up my own s14 today. This is a 1995 Zenki model and came with the optional 5 lug hub standard. The owner was a 40ish year old lady who thinks she is still 20 . This is what I bought the 2jz from Facepalm for. the standard motor is almost done (246,00miles) so i'm gonna hoon in it till it pops. Also I got my wing back from the paint booth for the z32. it looks great all this baby needs is wheels |

Hooning caught up with the poor s14 as a burnout in the gas station parking lot with some friends turned into 2 broken conrods and a seized engine. Smoked filled the air and as we waited for the tow truck we threw icepacks on the motor to cool it down looks like tomorrow I can drop the 2jz in and start building it to the former glory of its older brother the LS-onevia

So I decided to try to find the Mega I4 pack to put an I4 into my Evo (which pics are coming soon) because some people didn't like it that I tried to use something decent, and almost believeable, not a quad turbo fucking V8... Too fucking bad. But I couldn't find any reliable download for the pack. Just the standalone pack. That actually works for 2.2.1 mwm. All the blocks just don't even appear.

# Bigg Boss93 : Got a set of SSR GT-F01(also known as GTFO!) for almost free, basically my mate Remco got them in his shop, he ordered them for a customer who then didnt buy them(luckily he got a deposit), so when he heard i was looking for a staggered setup(18" front and 19" rear) setup for my car shown me those rims and i seriously got inlove with them. I cant tell you the price since he made me pay exactly the amount he spent as retailer(who obvioulsy get a discount from SSR), but trust what i said before, they were so cheap i could say i got them for free. Tyres costed 350 including balancement and installation. Dont you love it? |

Damn, that looks good
I spent 4 days just de-rusting and welding that chassis up but now it is rust-free. Primering it took another 2 days. Now I'm waiting for the paint to arrive. |

@Bigg Boss93 beautiful Ferrari!
@Tom Diablo that VW is coming along really nice! Added 4 hours 17 minutes later: Hi People! Not much has happened to the s13 the past couple days. Im waiting for parts to come through the mail but since I ordered most of them from a company located in Japan it might take some time. The estimated time of delivery was 2 and a half weeks if I remember right. But I did get some parts that I bought from local companies. There is a parts store down in Southeast Valo that specialises in JDM parts so I've been there back and fourth looking for parts for the s13. I bought a brand new HKS waterpump while I was there. I noticed the 2jz was leaking so I took the daily to pick it up just so the 2jz wouldnt overheat or something dumb like that. I guess your waiting for pictures at this point so here they are! Here she is with some of the parts on her. I bought a pair of red and white taillights. To me they look better than the original ones. I also went ahead and bought a veilside trunkwing for it and put it on. I was debatting on keeping it wingless or just going crazy with a BCL wing or something like that but I kept it subtle and went for a more normal size wing. When it comes to the rear bumper I still havent decided if I want to roll without it or not. I like it how it sits now but I might buy a vertex bumper to see how it looks. If I dont like I could atleast have it as a spare if I decide to have a bumper. Since im out shredding tires all the time and scraping walls im almost thinking it would be better to go without one but we will see. I went out to the track the other day and someone snapped this pic of me getting really close to that wall. He came up to me when I was in the pits changing tires and showed me the picture. He told me he would send it to me when he got home and I ofcourse said sure. So I gave him my name and later that day I got it on facebook. Anyways, I dented some stuff while I was there xD Nothing much just the right sideskirt and chopped of a piece of the front bumper. It will be fixed in no time with some magical work at the shop back home. Im thinking about searching for a sponsorship regarding tyres. As I go through a couple of sets of them everytime im at the track it's now becoming a big expense of mine. There are some local tyreshops around where I live so i'll go talk to them once I got time.

@2jzCookie: Thanks!
I have changed my plans for the Golf a bit: Instad of leaving the body stock, I will install a RIEGER wide bodykit. It will also recieve some wheel spacers, too. Not sure if I will get some 17" or 16" wheels. I had 16" wheels in my Golf GTI. |

Mneh. The strut & shock were FiretrUCKED, spent whole night re-building the struts. The right lower control arm snapped, I didn't know any near place where I could get new struts (that I could drift with), I decided to fix them myself. They won't stay forever strong, but at least hopefully I find professional drifting struts. I welded the snapped part together, & built a "shield" around it so it won't go in half when it snaps at the same position again. But how whole night? Well, first I couldn't get the strut out & second was that I did the shield also to the left strut. Since I am a bit OCD they could NOT have been different. I doesn't look so mad problem on the picture, because that was the position of it where I could get my rim off. In the first place when strut snapped, wheel hit my quarterpanel & slammed the lower part of it quite in...
I bought 2 KSport slide control (or whatever it is lol) shocks for front. I still run with the stock cut springs doe'. I knew I had to lift my car higher a bit as was hugging the ground almost everywhere, which isn't good, especially if you're drifting. I built bought some sort of spacers for springs that the car would be higher then. New set of rims rolled on my S14a (well now they roll with the car). They're Fikse FM10 (19inch). I don't feel that yellow suits my current "PJ", but they were last set of FM10's in the shop (they're doing warehouse sale, most of stuff up to -20%! Go check it out at CC Jap shop, well it's in Arizona. Tell 'em that Caspar suggested, it's my brother's shop). I got the rims with nice Dunlop tyres (255/30). When I was back in the shop again I saw the funniest & maddest JDM steering wheel ever...
However, my favorite thing arrived, bodykit! It's bloody cool. That was one of the reasons also why I had to raise my car. I ordered it from Japan's UP Garage. I like these bumpers so much I take off them every time I drift lawl... Thanks for spending your time reading this part of my project, please leave a comment! |

@Coprone, sick bodykit man! is that still thesame base chassis we both have?
Well the AE86 has been sitting there for some time but the parts i ordered finally came in!! i got so excited i started right away. I ordered a used 4A-GE 20V Blacktop with HKS Crankshaft,HKS Pistons, HKS Camshafts, a HKS Oil Cooler, a adjustable ECU and a new Supercharger! luckily i could use the rest of the parts from the 4A-GE i blew. then i went to test it out on the local track and it goes so rapid and aggressive. i love it! i also added a new spoiler and took the rims from the S14. now i'm kinda broke so i'm thinking of selling the S14 to fix up the AE86's body work. |

Coprone |
#1307 2015-01-12 21:07 |
@Snowfox - nice! I think it is same chassis, I haven't checked big differences between Zenki & Kouki. At least I could tell your S14 may have been in a crash, as it has Zenki front but kouki rrar lights. I'd suggest to check it out before selling S14. And about the 86 bodywork, you don't need to spend a lot on the bodywork as you will crash it sooner or later, especially if it's your first "missile"
And actually, I'm interested buying your S14, more likely just for spares & engine |

Haven't posted about my SC in a LONG time. Basically, not much progress has been made. I managed to find a decent 2JZ-GE from a Mark II on Ebay for a pretty good price. I got all the body parts primed and mounted up, but other than that, nothing has happened. My girlfriend was in a bad skiing accident and had broken her arm, and fractured her ankle, and a bunch more minor injuries, and had to be airlifted to the hospital and that costs alot of money. I think I have some pictures of putting the engine in, but if I don't I will go take the tarp off of her and get some pics and update you guys.

Just a quick update: I have picked up the RIEGER kit and will start installing it now. I will go for 17" wheels since the wide bodykit will create a bit more space for the wheels.

Hi guys. So im Kamil, im 21 live in Ireland and have a passion for one. So recently i did my full drivers licence and decided to buy myself a bigger car. After loads of searching i set out for a one car i always wanted. a 2004 Toyota Altezza. I found the mintest Altezza i could and went over and bought it. Engine is a 2.0 Yamaha Beams engine. Its sitting on a set of 18" Volk Racing alloys with Tein Coilovers all around and all of that included in a prize of 3,500 Euro. Don't have a picture of it when i bought it but here's a picture of a me and my best friend Hooning around a mountain road.
Next up is a hunt for a Mk2 Escort shell to work on with my friends. I'll keep you posted guys. This post was edited by kamil121 (2015-01-13 19:31, ago) |

@Coprone, i checked for any damages but it's just a simple front end swap, luckily. i'll sell you the S14(with a bit of pain in my hart) just swing by the garage and take it for a spin just to be sure
Well there isn't much left to do on the AE86 so i did some small stuff except for the hydrolic e-brake, that was a pain in the ass to fit. bought and installed a new Bride bucket seat with 4-point Takata harness, a new HKS pod filter and hood pins, also swapped out the close headlight with air opening. hated it from the beginning. I should consider buying a new trunk |

I am loving that altezza I had a black one back in the day (see page 1?)
Progress on the S14: Got the front end torn down and the old sr20det chucked in the trash. I had to scrub down the engine bay from all the oil spewing everywhere. I got a 2j-to-sr20 harness wiring and basically plug and played. The radiator support brackets had to be cut and repositioned so that was a pain. the whole system is hooked to a catless 3in straight pipe so u have room for upgrades. maybe this turbo system will actually come when I order it I couldn't be bothered to put the front end back on so for right no she is sitting lightless and bumperless |
