def go kouki, i love the look

+1 IMO Kouki is definitly the way to go when modding a S14...But you can always go S15

Good looking clean Zenki's are one in a million (or atleast that is what I have noticed on NICO Club)If you have a clean Zenki then people really take notice...But at the end of the day its your wallet and your decision

Otherwise people just think it's a camry. Nice car man, love the white paint.

I'm not to sure on all the parts he used... but it was ARP studs, 8.5:1 pistons, rods, mild cams and he ported his head and intake himself and slapped on a gt30 i beleive... got it tuned and it put down 530hp.. he said he has a little under 3gs in everything...

After looking at the Kouki thread I'm seriously thinking about converting it when i get my body kit.... they look so good..

a rebuilt ka with forged internals, cams with a gt30 for under 3G's!!!

[240-SRT-4]

The KA needs a little love but should be ok.... are the ebay gasket kits ok? i gotta try to find a stock flywheel and decent clutch soon.. after i change out some gaskets and get the clutch ima go ahead and put it in....

[LeeROBD]

Nice project I need to work on my 240too

[supreamS14]

Can yall tell what the custom lip is made from???

NO, But I must know!

[White Comet]

i actually mentioned in my post that its made from another s14 bumper

[240-SRT-4]

yeah.. the other bumper i had was the one with the molded in plate mount.. and it was a little busted so i cut the bottom off.. flipped it and now its a lip. im no genious so im sure it's been done before..

[95silviajake]

nice job, gl with it and keep on working.

[240-SRT-4]

thanks.. i got the motor a little cleaner today.. i got a few things I want to do to it before it goes in... gaskets mainly.



and the A/T parts.. anybody know if this stuff is worth anything? and that A/T pilot bushing was easy to get out with a punch and a hammer.. took about a minute

[Nismo24zero]

sweet progress looks good

[240-SRT-4]

just a little update.. got the KA in the car.. and converting the engine from auto to man. and bolting up the s13 transmission. should be in tomorrow.. my ? is will not having the crank position sensor on the s13 transmission hurt the performance or just throw a cell?

And i had some other ?'s but I done forgot... I got to find a MAF so i can try to crank the car one day this week...

then it'll be finishing some body work and paint and then some drifting down my drive way until i get her on the road...

[White Comet]

just to let you know, if you run an s13 trans you'll need an s14 speed sensor or your cluster wont read correctly

[maxxmoses]

i like how the engine bay came out

[240-SRT-4]

i have the s-14 speed sensor... but ima hold off on putting the crank position sensor in.. im so close to getting it running that ima hold off on things that aren't needed right now....

I picked up a s-13 KA24DE complete with 5spd transmission, kyb gr2 struts, a aerospeed strut brace, and the two amber bumper lights for 325.00...

And i got the kouki front for 100.00 plus my other 5spd parts out of my other s14 and my Zenki front end... I been so lucky with this car..

[White Comet]

ok, good stuff, just put the s14 speed sensor in the s13 trans and you'll be good

[spooled240]

kouki front for 100 bucks???!!!! whoa WHOA!!! <zomgwtfbbq!! eyes are popping out!!

[240-SRT-4]

yeap. like i said, i been lucky. I should have the front end on this weekend and hopefully i will finish getting it all painted. I was thinking of going with silver now though or charcoal gray. my mind is always changing.

but as soon as it's drivable I plan to lift it back up and start re-storing everything under the chassis and replacing bushings and recoating with undercoat.

I'll post pics this weekend.

[White Comet]

good stuff, im anxious to see this. your doing things backwards from me and undercoating and replacing bushings and everything under the car before i get it running. check out my build thread im working on the rear subframe currently

[MastaYu]

very nice job

[240-SRT-4]

I've run into some problems...

Some of the wiring was messed up by the previous owner. I have another harness and I've got the main stuff right.. And I put the starter in to try and turn the engine over but i get nothing. just a click. kinda like the battery is dead but it's not. So im trying to de-bug it and find a FSM online.

[240-SRT-4]

and using search i finally found one lol... maybe it's a ground problem

[95mexican240sx]

YEAH HE GOT LUCKY ON THAT FRONT END..LOL.. I HAD TO DO WHAT I HAD TO DO TO KEEP MY 240 RIGHT IM PLEASE WITH THE 95 FRONT END.. I HATE GIVEN THE OTHER ONE WAY BUT HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE THE NICEST 240S IN TOWN..

[240-SRT-4]

thats my homie.....

anybody know what could be wrong?

here's my issue... the stater selinoid clicks but it does'nt spin over. I tried a second starter and its the same way. I'm thinking maybe theres another fuse im over looking.

And the only thing that is not pluged in is the MAF because i dont have one.. could that be shutting the whole system down?

[White Comet]

nope, the car will still run without a mafs

[240-SRT-4]

well guys.. I still could'nt get the car to crank using the the key.. so I just run a hot wire to jump it and put that on a push button starter for now.. and i got it running today... runs good to my suprise. so it on to some small things now and It should be on the road in the next couple weeks...

I skimmed, did you take out the upper timing chain guard and replaced the tensioner?

[UndftdSole]

pretty good so far

[240-SRT-4]

NO why?

[Soravia]

Those are pretty weak and easily breaks off in old KA24DE engines with so many miles. When I took off mine the thing was rubbed off deep.
