# Dr. Zoom :
S14 getting loved.




I found random online to find 2nd hand parts, so far I found and bought R34 Brembo brake kit, black bumpers and grill, and HKS exhaust system. Damn she getting really loved. I was replace parts, I refreshing brake fluid and I notice wets patch on master cylinder so I have removed carefully or brake fluid will kills paints work. I tries finding hard to replacement brake master cylinder, I found R34 master cylinder and I replace it then repeating brake fluid then I take her to test drive, damn jesus that brake want make your eyes leaping out your eye sockets. The SR20DET won't be long to using because this drift day will be last for S14 with SR20DET, after drift day the SR20 will taking out and replaced 1JZ-GE lump so that reason I use R34 Brembo. Exhaust give much better smoother sound and more evenly power then I'm doing drift practising at Ebisu and asking other experts drifter for tips. I learnt quickly and gains more confidently, it don't last longer I went back garage shorty so I don't made worst for SR20DET, which is I have told you it have oil problem also bad news for my daily Civic, which is it have clutch problem.

Here coupe photo!

Purple S14 now sold to new owner. It was quicky after I pin up on the window.

Recent done work -
Runner 1JZ-GE swapped.
Apexi air filter
Custom turbo back to cat exhaust.
HKS cat back exhaust.
R34 GTR brake kit.
Supra radiator swap.
Serviced and change all fluid.

Was adverting 18,000 V$ price but 15,000 V$ was good deal.

If you are nosy my wallet cost would be, 25,534 V$.

S13 are near finished to OEM spec restored class. She will off to auctions. Photo will be when she finished.

*SMACK Zoom face* That not ending man, Zoom! You sold drift car, why!

Ouch, okay. I losing hobbies about drift, I felt loving to Wangan. High speed, dodging traffic. Oh man that awesome. I could drive to Edwin or Mackey to sitting passenger seat and watch them how fast them. S13 will be OEM for more valuable meaning more chance get more fancy car.

Unfortunately no photo, blame my phone. The battery has died and it not to charged anymore, so I lost all S13 finished restored photos, I'm sorry but I need new phone. My phone are 10 years old. :facepalm:

The S13 has been carefully restored to fully OEM spec with rare parts, make look it never been modified. I was 2-3 nights no sleep because I booked auctions today and deadline was tight, I felt become panic but I made finished that project, just before deadline has end. The lorry has arrive to collect S13. I been spenting approved 10k to get correctly. Been asked to sent me the photo of S13 and waiting replied...

I saw on the paper about my S13.
Car: NISSAN 180SX
Engine: 2.0 TURBO (SR20DET S13 EDITION)
Grade: RESTORED & FULLY ORIGINAL
Extra: FEW RARE OEM WAS FITTED.
Price (approved): 20,000 V$.

I was happy about that details. so I watch the auctions. The price was started 10,000 V$, I thought df that low but the bidding become crazy till it stalls at 23,750 V$ then hammer fell at 24,500 V$. I was happy that the price. One guy who new owned my S13 was happy price and he handshaked it. He said: "That restored very careful, it was perfect for collector. I can't find any modified. I been search so long with that condition, it not many have same as your. Most them need "loved" or hidden chassis damaged because that easy to find." He was respected my hard work. I was smiled, then head to home. I was impressed that huge profited, also I sold Civic with brand new clutch, final price was 2,500 V$.

My wallet would be 52,534 V$.
I start looking Wangen project, don't have to I build to fastest car, I want like step by step.
Thinking buy R34 GTR but many was expensive. If I was lucky find cheap GTR (Use be bad problem). I think I found 40k NISSAN Skyline R34 GTR with blown headgasket and worned one turbo but the colour was very pretty, it was use be well loved but owner ran short cash and he need sold his broken GTR fast. Going to look that GTR at tomorrow.

So you fully restored a rusted S13 shell to such condition to be considered as a collector's car in just a week and worked on a S14 in the meantime?

Seriously though, don't rush so much! I didn't even see the prices of all the parts for that S13, and you mentioned no progress whatsoever.

TBH, your restart was quite nice tho! Don't mess it.
I also consider another car than a R34 GTR. So many great cars dude. With your money you could get a NSX Mk.1 which is a sick car! And none are around!

I don't want to drive anything engine that mid or rear fitted, it horrible memory from my dad which he killed from nasty accident. He drives his loved MR2 but he lost control in the rainy then spin out of control, flipped few time, sadly MR2 bust into fires and he was trapped. Every time when I sit inside any car that got mid engine or rear engine, it kept giving me flash back about dad accident and it made me crys bad. I need find something different than Mid or Rear engine.

I'm staying this RP for right now. Just bit too rushed.

Bad news, I check out R34 GTR it turn out dodgy chassis damaged and I seen owner was sweaty and lied to me so I have to walk off. I thinking get R32 GTR because that more affordable? Anyone got good car suggest for Wangan project.

Some supras N/A 5 speed are around 10 to 14k ,Try some FC or FD , Some R32 GTR or maybe an R33 GTR
But you need tons of cash if u want to build a wangan car (i wanted to build one , but my budget was very short and my car wasn't good for wangan), If u can afford it and take the risk , go for it dude!

Note: I'm very sorry I deleted one post yesterday about red S14, I made huge mistaken. I should NOT choosen this car. I'm very sorry about that.

New wangan motor are here!



Yes, I did bought Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX MR. AWD, turbocharger 4 cylinder perfect for Wangan thanks to clever AWD electrically controlled. I bought here was totally standard but not axle back exhaust system. I test her drive, god I fell love with this car, I can't find anything wrong with this motor. I change the wheel, Enkei RPF1 that have painted white with carbon style centre cap it came with common tyre brand all tyre depth are alright but need better rubber. She quiet good looking! I order new carbon bugs, they will arrive very soon. ;)






Enkei RPF1 - Second Hand - -1,500V$
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX MR - Second Hand - -30,000 V$
Total - 21,034 V$

@Wolf, I see.

Update: Tomorrow I'm putting big test on my Lancer. I going to travel to Tokyo because I collecting parts that I bought from shop call "Art Of Wheels" then come back in ONE day. It rough about 3 and half hour to get there. Which mean, I would leave about 9am, arrive about 12.30pm then have lunch leaving possible about 2pm then head to home about 5pm. That my planned driving and break.



Stroll up to see my recently bought Lancer Evo IX MR, if you haven't been see it.

Thanks, it does test for engine, suspension, etc to ensure they are good. Normally people just quick drive around less than hour but it going be Wangan so it need engine and suspension kept working at all time. That why I create to test.
