Just though I would say hello. I have been messing around with Nissan's for some time now I bought an S14a about 5 years ago which is now undergoing a bit of an insane refurbishment. These pics were taken before I stripped it





I then bought this S13 which I had for 12 months



After I sold it I missed it that much that I bought another and rebuilt it





My S14a rebuild is a bit insane though Think I have "lost the plot" a bit but hopefully there will be some info, hints and tips to help others refurbing

Neons I don't like rice It's a reflection from the flash gun

I made a video of the S14 24Mb. Right click, save target as.

Pete, your video KICKS ***!!! The footage and editing rock, very well done sir!

I have a formal request though. Detailed pictures of your brake master cylinder brace. You can email em to [email protected] if it's not too much trouble

Again, very well done sir!
