Raw Brokerage - S14 RB26 Build Thread

[Coolwhip]

Hey Ricky do you by any chance still have the engine harness and what not for that ka?? I might need!

I'll see what condition it's in as I obviously needed some plugs like the wiper motor, wiper amp, dash interface, etc. Shoot me an email so I can follow back up with you.

A little Birthday present to myself...

Fantastic choice, I'm happier than a pig in mud with the ps1000 that has been running my sr for the last 2 years.

heater hoses ran...



the downpipe and rear dump tube now reaches under the car...



Trunk bulkhead fittings installed for the anti-surge tank...



Pretty much all the fabrication, cut, weld, bang, test fit, etc. is finished... time to tear everything back out...

[alms24sebring]

Good idea just dropping the craddle. Doing it right always pays off.

[RB26]

Thanks for the response. Sent you another PM.

[Coolwhip]

replacements are on...

[kouki munster]

Nice, those look like the work vs-xx. What are the specs?

Separated the engine from the cross member and front suspension to clean everything up and do some slight modifications to the engine.



Now that the engine is out and the engine bay was stripped back down. Took her outside to get scrubbed and cleaned, AGAIN.



Now begins the process in making the car look pretty… first comes the paint… a low gloss white was applied to the engine bay alone (as the rest of the car isn’t ready for such awesomeness and attention).



With the car making more power only mean one thing… more heat. So some gold heat foil was applied to the firewall (decided to do the whole firewall for aesthetics) and the driver side frame rail where dump tubes and exhaust transmit off heat.





Had a hell of a time applying the foil as it didn’t like the paint’s surface… but oh well, car must go on!

Love it, great job. You've inspired me lol

[BAGLEY]

What were your offsets on the CCW's?

[Coolwhip]

Some grinding on the oil pan to clear the steering rack...



Carbonetic Twin Plate Carbon Clutch to transfer everything through the RB25DET transmission...

air hose started to leak so we used a vice to clamp it off between use.

[SBC 240Z]

I suspected that's what it was but I had to be sure lol

[Coolwhip]

Awesome build so far man, how much does that gold foil go for?

[alms24sebring]

[SBC 240Z]

Awesome build so far man, how much does that gold foil go for?

I wanna know too, I don't need it I just want to make my engine bay look like the space shuttle, badass

Cost about $120 to do the firewall with the gold foil. Let me know if anyone is looking to buy some.
