Well...It all started a few years back. My son kept talking about these "drift" cars and these cool little motors that put out all kinds of HP. To make a long story short, We decided to search the land for the perfect little car to play with. He kinda had his heart set on a 240SX. S13 would be nice, but the S14 would be better. We looked on the usual car "for sale" posts.
NOT really what we were looking for. I can turn wrenches, but don't really need a "body man".
We finally came across what we were lookin for. Body had a few dents and dings, but NO RUST. 96 S14!Kid was OK with it!!!!The next thing was to get everything working. Had to fix drivers window not working, all the back lighting not working, pictured here is the fender off. We had to access the hinges to adjust the passenger door. We got the drivers side OK without taking the fender off. The bolts were too tight. We also got the windshield wiper motor and tubing fixed. Adjusted trunk latch. About another 100 or so little things here and there. And finally...Everything is working! Now time to tear it apart. Actually Cam is not old enought to drive by himself yet. So we did a little driving around while we looked for a good motor.
***Hey everybody. I could not have even started to think about doing this without all the great info posted on this board! Right down to the replacement of light bulds in the dash. Your guys are awsome.***
Found the engine for the swap.A few little things here and there I was not too pleased with on the harness but overall "so far so good"The beast. SR20DET S14.
We started yesterday on removal, pulled the hood and seats. Cam is draining all the fluids.Yea I know, I tried to tell him, but he has to find out things on his own. Kinda reminds me of somebody. Hmmmmmm.
I will keep everybody posted as we go.Gord
