Full Circle // S14 Content

[KyrinBingaman]

Howdy hello! I've always been a fan of S Chassis, finally got around to buying one! Below is a brief history of past vehicles and current, which lead me to this S14.

(Note: I'm also bringing this thread over from StanceWorks so there will be like 3 posts in a row )

Polarizing Filter Test by kyrinbingaman, on Flickr

So I had this hoopty for a hot minute, this was my first manual, first coupe, had the opportunity to take it to my senior prom. Made a lot of friends and learned a lot about cars through it. Blew two VQs in it and wanted to swap in an LS.

During the process of ripping the engine and wiring out.

This is how far I got with the car. I ended up selling the Z to move to Philadelphia.

Brought this jawn to the city of brotherly love.

But, to take it back five years. When I first got my T3i to film scooter videos, I was taking photos too! They weren't that good, but I continued to post them on my Facebook.

So! A Facebook friend had messaged me asking me if I could take photos of his car, I said hell yea! This was the car.

It was RB20 swapped, on coilovers and Square G8 wheels. I uploaded the album to Facebook, of course, and one of his friends asked me to come to a private track and take photos of his car drifting.

ANOTHER Zenki S14!

In case you're curious, this is what his car looks like now.

So that brings me to why I'm making a build thread titled FULL CIRCLE.

240SX Build Thread by Kyrin Bingaman, on Flickr

Came across a 240 that was in the budget of what I wanted to spend. Frame is clean, it needs some love, but this model of car is what has brought me on a journey in a hobby that has given me so many life-long friends and great experiences that I will never forget.

Its a stock KA24DE, minus a five speed swap. Full interior, uncracked dash. 300,000 miles.

One thing I learned with the Z is that I need to go enjoy the car! That poor thing sat in my parents driveway for a year and I missed the hell out of just going out for a drive in it!

Even though it has 300,000 miles, the buyer was in Cincinnati. I met him in Pittsburgh then drove it back from there. No hiccups on a 8 hour total trip for the old girl!

I've since moved back in with my parents as I start to save for a house and started working at my old gig making better money again.

Within the first two days of me moving back I was out hanging with all my old car friends! This car is owned by the same guy who had the black Zenki in the original post.

Went to the local track to shoot some skid racers.

Oh look! Another Nissan on jackstands in my parent's driveway!

You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about. My friend with the S13 was kind enough to gift me a welded diff for taking photos of his car. I had to swap diff covers because he wants the J30 cover back.

Some friends came over to help

Painted my rear cover, not sure if you'll be able to see it or not.

Picked up this ISR header for $100 never mounted, score! I also painted the valve cover wrinkle black and tossed in some new spark plugs, along with wires.

To match the header, I also picked up the ISR MBSE Type-E exhaust, relatively quiet until you get until about 4000 rpm at WOT. Super nice for cruising!

Replaced the old, worn bushings while I was at it.

First piece in

Mid pipe attached as well

Final piece of the puzzle: ISR test pipe that I also ordered at the same time I got the catback.

Picked up a new helmet too!

As well as coilovers. It seems I'm going full ISR everything on this car. My friend with the silver S13 has these along with their control arms and his car rides great.

Rears on. Wheels are SVE Cobra R replicas. 17x10.5 +20 with a Federal 235/40r17 square
Note: the fender is not a bad hack job by me, rust, unfortunately!

IMG_9343 by Kyrin Bingaman, on Flickr

Bit of a fitment issue with the front! The wheels would not clear the coilovers, so I borrowed a friends 25mm spacers that were collecting dust. After some measurements I found out I can run a 15mm spacer instead.

On the drivers side, I gave the fenders a pretty aggressive roll and pull. Had an issue with the one section not wanting to pull out as far, I'll have to figure it out another day.

How the car currently sits.
