S14a Project Rebuild

[deanrobbo]

wow i wasnt sure about the kit when you mentioned it earlier on in the build....but seing it out in day light in them pics with the 326 wing and wheels on as its taking shape realy does change the whole look of it. liking the look of it...drifty lokin.

Cheers Dude, I like an aggressive look. Hopefully it'll look even better all the one colour haha!

So were mounting the intercooler in front of the rad but behind the lights bars for neatness and also shorter intercooler piping so less chance of lag...



It did require a little trim behind the headlights themselves, but its very neat and hidden compared to your usual front mount holes which would be located in front of the tubs.




I also invested in a hks filter as its shorter so should be easier tuck in neatly around or under the intercooler piping, and making a custom stainless pipe for the intake also.



Only a mock up as of now, but hopefully welded together in the next day or two

Few more goodies to add to the list...

Full custom intercoolerpiping finally done, soon to finish custom intake piping in the next couple of days.


Brakes finally done, dimpled and grooved discs all round and new pads. Brand new driftworks lines and wilwood bleed nipples.




Got a custom switch panel made up, and mounts to hold it in place in replacement of the air con unit...



New HKS Hybrid Oil Filter


Got my hands on an Owen Developments adjustable actuator


Picked up a HKS fuel pressure regulator, some Torques AN fittings, and also a Torques fuel filter and some shiny braided hose, and a Sytec gauge from Driftworks to top it off


Brand new slave cylinder, and a full braided clutch line to finish that off..




Pretty well set up and all looking good for wiring and mapping etc next week. Huge thanks to Tom at Mad Racing for the last couple of weeks work, with the tubbing, custom piping, brakes etc. Super work. Hopefully next update will have some rubber burning in celebration

Car finally gone away for custom wiring and mapping in MDTuning.

Here's the more or less finished engine bay ...






Odyssey dry cell battery relocated to boot, with custom mounting brackets made up.



Lot of people prefer to remove sound deadening, but I got some nice light stuff for the boot, seeing as it is a road car... I'd like to be able to listen to the radio haha



Custom switch panel mounted in place, with the AC Control unit relocated to glove box just to be awkward and different.

Endless amount of goodies bought... Can never have enough really...







Rear view from the new broadway don't look too bad!






Nothing like lots of gauges with flashy lights and beeps, cant wait to see these light up the dash!



And finally in for a quick track before goes on the dyno.

All going according to plan, should be back in 2-3 weeks. And straight to paint, final few finishing touches and job almost done
