We are not done yet! We still have to finish gauges and exhaust. Maybe a video or two of Cam learning to use a clutch and trying to get up the driveway

I will post as soon as I get some new stuff!

Oh man, i remeber when i was 13 and my dad still had his old 911 turbo saab, and he would let me drive once in a while. I thought i was so good at driving then he told me to go up the driveway and that thing was steep lmao Long story short i stepped on the gas to hard and almost drove through the wall

[bentvalves]

did you end up upgrading the turbo or did you replace it with something aftermarket but close in size to an sr t25, Im sorry I misses something?

Im not saying he is I'm saying i hope he doesn't pull one.Not with the build but when he drives the car himself. I like the build though.Theres no fathers like that around as much.

i highly doubt that's the son lol...probably an imposter

[nzmoman]

This is a great thread...

Kudos to the father. I can only imagine the amount of strength it takes to trust a young kid and allow him to make mistakes and become better for it.

Cameron, don't be tempted by people who WILL ask you to do ridiculous things when they see your car. Laugh at them and tell them its slow, or ONLY on the track. It actually is much more fun to wait for track days to come up and make a big deal about going to those with friends than it is to rip and slide through corners on public roads...but you know this already from the dirt bike days.

Good Luck and respect that car. 200+ whp isn't a lot but it will put you in a bad situation really quick if you are not careful

Hey mac, I was wondering did you guys ever come to a resolution on what to do with the ac on the car? I know someone here made brackets but ended up falling through on their endeavor.

Just curious what you did to make it work?

[Rudelude22]

I think its great you and your son are into cars like that. Take him to the track maybe he will end up like that 15yr old justin mondaut who started drifting his moms AE86 now had a fully sponsored S14 at the age of 17....

[Nismo24zero]

any updates

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^ Geez you guys, do you expect daily updates? This guy updates this thread at least once a week and you guys are complaining?!? Work on your own projects and take the time to snap pictures on every little thing, upload the pics, host them, and post them in your own thread.

C'mon now.

[Nismo24zero]

wasn't complaining was just bored and havent checked the tread in a while

I ended up making my own lines and swaging the SR ends on the hoses and using the SR compressor.

Time for a recap??????



different compressors.



This hose will not fit!



Start with this



cut



insert and swage end



Ends up like this. This was first the attempt. I had no way of servicing the low side, so I had to cut and insert a service connection.



Here is the hose with the service connection and some heat protection wrap.

Hrmn I read this earlier in the build but I guess I just didn't soak it in, as far as the service connection, that's the inlet where the freon goes in. I was trying to avoid doing custom lines, plus my system is charged with freon so draining that is a little worrysome for me. Since it's HAZARDOUS materials and what not.

It sucks that the old compressor will not work. It is easy to fab the hoses, and you can find somebody to recover the R134. You gotta have AC.A few pages back I had the pages with the AC lines you need (OEM). They would be for the S14 with L/H drive. My engine was for R/H drive and the AC evaporator would have been on the L/H side of the car so my hoses were too short (they were also cut). I bet a certain "white comet "could provide the P/N?!?!?

did you get your exhaust manifold through your local speed shop or off a website. i live near about 10 minutes outside youngstown ohio and was looking for a good place to get one from without having to pay an arm and a leg for shipping. so please let me know thanks. O and the car is looking greeeeaat. you are one heck of a dad

[evisceratrix]

impressive build. its great to see a father/son build every once in a while... got one goin myself with a '90 hatch 240, albeit out of commission

The exhaust was supposed to come in on Friday. That was pushed back until Monday. That was today...They sent one for non turbo...2 1/2... I was supposed to get 3"

Long story - short... My new exhaust will be here Wednesday morning.

I am not paying an arm and a leg for shipping! I am not paying for any of it! I guess this is why you should purchase from local distributor and they can argue with the vendor about that sort of thing. If I had to do it again I would purchase from another source.

Update



We installed the aero stuff. This was left off for the first couple of miles while we checked for leaks. Everything was checked again and looked over closely. I am sure that Nissan spent millions to make sure that the air flowed to all the right places, so I guess I will put it back in place.



Cam T'd into the Vacuum / boost hose that goes to the wastgate actuator. This should give us a good source for the vacuum / boost gauge. We fed the line back to the gauge in the pillar via the wire harness - feed through on the driver side.

Hey... I was wondering...I had one of these lying around...do ya think?!?!?



Naaaaaaaaa

So, we will wait until Wednesday to get the exhaust together. I will update.
