[Lev_96_240sx]

Very nice car, I like where it's going. Stay with the saleen wheels imo

[k_c_b]

Nice car man, I just realized you live in OK. I live in the same area just more in Owasso and Tahlequah. I don't really know many people with 240s around here.

Thanks man. I've seen your car once i think. It's a gorgeous Kouki. Be sure to come talk to me if you see me around.

UPDATE!!!More parts are in. I got the RIGHT clutch this time. Haha, and my boost controller is here.

[k_c_b]

Thanks, will do

[White Comet]

noooo! not another freakin 350!! That engine is already over-used and over rated in the hot rod/muscle car world imo.

i disagree the 350 is an amazing motor.it may be overused but its not overrated

[2.4Loflove]

Super clean man, the lip and the fog lights kind of bring together the front end.

[Slammed95S14]

New pictures are up. I got the right clutch in, and got my boost controller in.

Check back for more updates. Hopefully I will be starting the swap this coming weekend.

I think I saw you driving this past Friday or Saturday night at 61st and memorial, I was in my girlfriends car though.

Thanks a lot man. She's got her ups and downs. But so does every car. I'm just glad that I have the opportunity to build the car. Even tho it's running me tight on cash. Oh well, it will be worth it in the end.

[Initial_R90]

bump nice car and ls1 for the win

[k_c_b]

Ya you're right, I would've chased you down but I was going the opposite direction lol. You should go to the humble meet in Owasso November 8th.

[Slammed95S14]

Yeah... That's not a good idea. I used/still kind of work at a performance shop called VDP Motorsports. I'm sure you've heard of our shop. All the Humble people don't really like me to much. It's not my fault we took all there business.

[k_c_b]

Oh lol, I'm sure nobody would care but it's up to you man. Ya I've been at VDP a few times for the dyno day and what not. I also sold a vafc to someone there off my old civic lol.

It's probably just a better idea for me not to go. I'm not one for drama. Besides I'll be to busy doing the swap in my car. Haha. But be sure and stop by sometime man.

[k_c_b]

Ya I understand, maybe I can stop by and check out your swap that weekend since I'll be in town and since I plan on doing an sr or ka-t eventually.

[stylepointzz]

dude i love the salleen wheels

[Slammed95S14]

I won't be there this weekend. But the weekend after that hopefully i'll be starting. I'm still waiting on stuff.

[l0nestar]

^ i see, well then like Adrian said-Finish up suspension and make the car ready for the rb25. I would recommend brakes as well to handle the added HP.

I have to say from my personal experience that 250rwhp on stock suspension is not very fun other than a straight line...just recently I have installed decent suspension mods like sway bars, and solid sway bar and TC rod bushings and I'm loving them so far

Agreed. Do basic suspension work first. Might be able to eek out with some aggressive pads + SS lines at first, but Z32 calipers would be ideal.

I wish I had an S14 because the stock R33 sway bars that I have will bolt up, along with the rear sub-frame.

RB25> SR20. But it is more work and more involved, yet has a better payout in the end. LSx >all though

More recently I have begun to wish I had not done my swap, simply because it places me in an 'Unlimited' class..

Your car looks slick. Now get out there and bash the hell out of it learning to drift!

Yeah, I had planned on doing the rest of the suspension set up after the swap. 300zx brakes and master cylinder, traction rods, ball joints, the usual suspension upgrades.

As for drifting, I've already been beating on the KA. Haha. I go out and practice as much as I can.

[Slammed95S14]

Well the KA went to **** last night. I was driving it fine and then all the sudden it wouldn't go past 2,500 RPM. So I was like alright, either something's wrong with the MAF or the ECU, because it was in limp mode. So I drove the car to a friends house where I had torn apart his car because of a blown motor, and swapped out the MAF's. Same thing.

So today I swapped out the ecu's and it did the same thing. But now ran like ****. Before it would run fine just not go over 2,500 rpm. Now it acts like the MAF isn't plugged in. Hardly idles and runs horrible. So i change the plugs, plug wires, and dizzy. Doing them all one at a time to see which it was. Still does the same thing. I have no idea what it is. But it doesn't really matter cause I'm doing the swap this weekend. But I have to put my motor in my friends car. So i guess we will see how that goes. I think the SAFC is what is messing it up. Whoever did the wiring for the SAFC did a crazy hack job and it's real bad. So that might be where the problem is.

I don't know. We will see I guess.

[k_c_b]

That sucks man, I would've guessed the MAF too. Hope you get it figured out.

[Slammed95S14]

Well it ended up being a bent valve on the KA.

But oh well.

Rest of my parts came in. Starting on the car here soon!I'll post picture when I get started.

[Slammed95S14]

New pictures are up of the project!!!

Look at the first post.

[240sk8]

sweet build man, so jealous that you got a s14 blacktop hopefully soon i'll have mine swapped as well, only thing is i have an awesome shop doin the swap for me. I just wish i had the time or the tool to do it myself, keep us posted and great job so far!!!

[slipnfall]

Just curious - what were you doing when the KA took a dive? Was it from valve float, guide failure?

[Slammed95S14]

I was just driving it when it started to act up. I think it was the MAF wiring. Because it was acting like the MAF wasn't responding.

Thanks for the comments guys!

[k_c_b]

Nice progress, did that greg kid you're putting your ka in his car for used to have a white 4dr civic?
