my vh s14 project!

[Carl H]

eh, as have i...but i dont feel comfortable splitting apart the 4 pots...its easy enough to revbuild them assembled but to each his own i suppose.

[gs14racer]

yea i too have split apart the 4pots front and rear, as well as brembos no big deal really. Just on the nissans make sure you replace the orings, you can get them from mcmaster carr for like 10 bucks

ok guys got some updates got the new engine, trans mated up to it, and getting ready to install it! here's some pics! nismo pilot bearing! ftw basically all of the motor, trans,clutch and flywheel setup together! also started on my rear subframe and drivetrain! man's best friend!..... or is it? my dog jax and the other half (wifey taking pics) ipod jammin! ok that's it for tonight going back out to the garage and stabbing it all into the car! still waiting on the k-sport gt-pro's, hood, bumper, widebody front(+20mm) and rear(+30mm) fenders, jdm kouki front bumper, turn signals and grille, greddy oil filter relocation block, plumming, and earl's oil cooler! also my brother has my extra oil filter tree and we are fabbing up some blocks to remote mount the filter as i stated before. we will be selling these blocks once finalized! i'll post a pic once we finish mine!

[newbissan-tech]

ok so i lied about that being it for the nightjust a few more shots! got everything about ready and forgot to notch the crossmember for header clearance, also need a new steering shaft u joint, and last but not least my lug nuts! some more work goodies!

[newbissan-tech]

here is the greddy oil filter block that i'm gonna run, it should show up tomorrow!

[Carl H]

looks good thus far, and excelent choice on oil plate adaptor...I run one of the other greddy thermal plates and they work VERY well.and well made to boot, put the mocal unit i was using to shame.

[newbissan-tech]

hey carl, how fast are you at the wiring? i need this thing going by the 24th! that or i might need to get ahold of you for some technical advice! lmk thanks

[freedomm60]

Nice work!

[Steve Lloyd]

Forgive my stupidity, but what is it you trimmed in those last 2 pics before your lugnuts??

Also, please keep me in mind when you start selling the oil plates.

Steve

[newbissan-tech]

you have to notch that section of the block for the z starter to clear! and as for the oil plate i will definitely get at you when they're done!

[Carl H]

I proly could get your harness done in a week or less but best bet is to email me and we can discuss from there.

[newbissan-tech]

you've got mail!

[newbissan-tech]

ok well the bad news continues to get worse! i just got mail back from a certain company about my suspension! and i placed the order on the 25th of june for my k-sport gt pro's with custom z32 rear lower perches! i spoke with this company on the 25th and placed the order during the same phone call, they guarunteed them to be done in time for me to make it to import alliance! well the email i recieved just said it would take 5-10 business days from yesterday, the 15th, before they'll even be ready to ship! wtf!!!!!!!! i'm so pissed off! the whole reason i placed the order a month in adavance was so i could have them in time!!! so if anyone was looking forward to seeing the ride @ import alliance i seriously doubt it's gonna make it! oh well this just gives me more time to make sure there isn't anything rushed together! i would prefer to take my time and do things right the first time! im a perfectionist so probably better that way! enough rambling back to work!

[newbissan-tech]

ok more progress and parts! -10 fitting and hose returned in exchange for the -12 stuff as well as -12 fittings for the oil cooler! earls oil cooler trust/greddy oil filter block so here's the subframe all bolted up with the new progress 24mm rear sway bar, and the problem i face with z32 rearspindles! my custom k-sports are gonna solve but probably too late for ia09! exhaust bends agency power clutch line! cut out the old core support and got the new kouki core support mocked up!

[3SCustoms]

[newbissan-tech]

thanks alot was trying to get it done for ia09 but that's a no go! import alliance here i come! nicofest is here and i'm here also! just no car! had to drive one of my beater honda's! oh well i made it!

[garcia240]

Ha thats funny....I like how we took the car dollie for the del sol and everyone elses cars ended up crapin out lol....oh well I had a freakin blast at IA 2009....oh yeah hooch freakin liking where this build is going man

[newbissan-tech]

so import alliance was full of disasters for me and my crew, but all in all i had a good time finally met elwesso, repoman and azhitman! my buddy's car broke down, then my truck broke down towing his car on the car dollie and that cost me a $630 tow bill! took the danger ranger up to the dealer to have diagnosed but i already knew what it was, the upstream catalytic converter took a crap and clogged up the downstream cat! that cost me a $100 then another $60 at the exhaust shop! then on the way home my other friends steering rack went out and stripped out the worm gears in the rack, we limped it another 70 miles to a honda dealer and they wouldn't even look at it! pist me off! then went to goodyear and they were booked, then finally got to sears where they looked at it and by then we had no choice but to fix the first car that broke down and put the last car on the dollie! after that we manage to make it home but the 7-8 hr trip took 14 hrs! the things we do for cars!

[gs14racer]

looks great man, everything is coming together good.

quick question how much did that new radiator support cost you?

[Ptotherice]

Now I'm really mad I didn't get to go to Import Alliance. I live about 30 minutes from the super speedway, but I had to work both days. I'm glad to see that your car is taking leaps and strides toward being finished. I hope you don't have any more bulls*** car problems haha.

[newbissan-tech]

i got it for like $254 my cost at the dealer! and thanks guys! update; my coilovers come in on the 5th, and i just got my harness back from Carl H today, thanks again broseph! i got my jdm bumper from password waiting on jdm turnsignals and grill. just purchased a jdm rear bumper and rear valences! looking @ a set of jdm fogs and a rear wing! waiting on the del blow to sell! i'll keep you guys posted!

[Carl H]

les posty more worky!hope you didnt pay too much for that bumper...you can get all that stuff thru nissan motorsports.last one i bought was like 180$ or something silly cheap.

[newbissan-tech]

i got raped on the front one but the rear and other stuff i found cheap from west covina nissan in cali! back to work!

[newbissan-tech]

ok so i haven't posted i a while because my camera got destroyed, the lil mini me daughter version of myself decided to use it as some kind of bashing tool! idk but what ever she did it's totally useless! so got a new camera and shot some pics of recent progress. so that's the rear end completed and on the ground, coilovers are temporarily adjusted 2 inches shorter than the eibach sportlines that were on the car when i bought it. newest toy that i purchased to further my fabrication skills and to help keep my beast together. latest patch panels that i welded in, found a huge rust cavity in the dr side inner fender, so i had to cut that out and repair it. and another one on the pass side strut tower! shaved the battery tray and some other bracket on the dr side. removing the seam sealer so i can stitch weld the bay. here is my hybrid p/s pump, its the stock Q45 pump with a 93' maxima pulley and internals, i swapped the internals so that the smaller pulley wouldn't overturn the Q's pump! i also had to bore the pulley out to fit on the Q's pump shaft, interested to see how this works out. so here is the front xmember, notched for the headers, sandblasted, prepped, and undercoated. installed the rack with brand new z32 inner tierods and boots from spl, with stock oem outer tierods. modified heat shields on my stock spindles to accept the z32 front rotors. the rest of my frontend parts painted up. custom clutchline bracket i built out of some scrap parts, and that's it for tonight will hopefully post soon with more updates!

Hey man looking goood!!!

I like how your taking TONS of pictures. You can never take too many.

I like going back and looking at some of my old pictures from time to time. Really helps if you cant remember what you did.

What did you use to bore out that pump? You manage to put it on a lathe or mill somehow?
