After leaving Japan in 2003, I rolled in an...Astro Van, then a WRX Wagon that was setup quite well. I'm back in Japan now, and back in a Nissan. I miss the Subaru...but for what I paid for this I couldn't pass it up....
She needs a little work. Headlights are busted at the mounting points. Friggin Kouki projectors are about $300 - $500 for a pair. Zip ties are holding in the left one for now. But you can see how they don't sit quite right.
Other than that, she is sweet.
Got an overhaul planned for march 08. Using S15 pistons (slight bore up) and a GT-RS Turbine. Gonna run $6000 for the whole deal. She get's up and goes, but with a 130,000 kilometers on the engine...she shows her age. She's kinda like a MILF...
Mods to date:Exhaust,M's IntakeCusco Zero 1 coiloversCusco Tension rodsCusco Front Tower barCusco Oil Catch CanSard R2-D2 Blow off ValveGrounding wiresOil Pressure, Volts and Boost gauge (Nissan option package)Advan TC-II Wheels Alpine Deck (with i-pod integration)Alpine and JVC speakers
Biggest job I have done so far was the stereo and the removal of almost all the crappy red DIY interior mods. Almost stock inside now
Well that's my new toy.

I hate how I had to act like a dog tilting my head back and forth just to see the pictures...
But, very nice S14!

Hello kind sir do you think you can hook me up with some JDM parts? JK, JK.
Nice car man. You got pics of the cars you previously owned? The Cefiro, 180sx, etc.
One thing you gotta understand about us is that we LOVE pics of the homeland! So if you've got some pics of where you're at or have been, please do share!

Re: (BOOMSHAKALAKA)
thanks for the kind words, sorry if I made some of you seasick....
to answer your questions:
The Advans have some curb damage, mostly paint. BUT they were only $1000 for the set. Friend hooked me up.
The R2-D2's not bad. Makes for nice back fires
Previous Cars: (all were in Japan except the WRX)
