Man how this place has changed. Just a few years ago, most of this place would be losing their shit about how hot that is. Now all of the sudden, low and camber isn't cool? Come on. It would have been criticized for not having enough bass boat flake in the paint job.

Apart from the wing. I love it personally.

[SupaDoopa]

I want to hate it but I can't for some reason. Only thing I am certain on is I don't like how the rear overs end where the side skirt meets it behind the door. Something there looks a little off but the rest? I'm okay with it. I do feel like chrome would have been a better choice for the wheels. White on white is so tacky in my opinion.

Cambergang banner, BCL wing, and more rear camber than front has been DIW since like 1900bc

The sticker for me is the only issue. Yea the camber is a lot but its a stance build. Its like it is demon camber. This car is not for driving a lot. Its probably for shows, instagram pics.

Less camber, a hood, de sticker it and would be a decent kouki.

It has the right engine and mirrors. Otherwise, fuck it.

[SupaDoopa]

Some of these show cars that are 'booth cars' are required to sticker up for sponsorship reasoning. Not saying it's the case but it's possible due to placement. The car isn't that bad. I stated my case about the overfenders but as Future said, take some stickers off [and chrome the wheels] and go for a cruise on literally the smoothest, flattest pavement on earth.

[cdlong]

If "not my style but mostly well built" is the standard for getting in this thread, it should be a lot longer. Case in point, any other white car with a red engine bay would get shit for a half assed paint job, but it's clearly not so it gets a pass from every commenter so far.

There's plenty of bad decisions and poorly built shit out there to keep this alive as it is.

Ben Hur never ran that much camber for sure!

yeeeeeeeeeeeup... hes grounded LOL

jackass! *smh*

[dizzariot]

I don't know if cdlong will ever see this, but I do not sign off on that car from last year lol. People are so bored, dude. We are finding justification in content that's subpar.

I'm jaded, I get it, but these Japanese fads and things we think are cool...they are all birthed from a place of repression and a need to be 'different' here to justify one's existence. It's really quite depressing the longer I stay here. I foresee myself getting R33 wheels for all my cars, cashing out on my cool-spec wheels, and just driving the cars the way I think they should've looked from the factory: OEM aero, little lower, painted Nissan calipers, and R33 wheels lol.

I'm not sure why I keep coming back to this thread or this forum, but I'm still here.

I'm with you, I just can't tell if you're fucking with me or if it's just a coincidence.

Definitely not fucking around. That is precisely how I would rock an S14 if I had one and I'm thinking about painting my S15 with same brush, so to speak. Black calipers w/shaved letters and some refurbished R33 wheels. Beyond that, all stock aero.

I don't even understand once the wheels have broken loose how do you not take your foot off of the gas? he was still banging the rev limiter... and I thought those cars were 4wd

[BryanSayWhat]

Comments say the kid drives a Mustang, so that makes it pretty understandable.

I reverted back to a RSR/kyb suspension setup (and stock wheels) on my zenki, and i couldnt be happier with it. I much rather drive the s14 than my s13. We're getting old LOL.

This is exactly why I have always talked myself out of another s-chassis. I'll build something more comfortable and that takes away from driving the coupe.
Oh, And 240's are extra shitty in New England.

i was thinking the same thing! but for some odd reason, i vaguely remember the R35 being more RWD biased in most situations.

even still... i hope that kid got beat with a belt when he got home. like i get youth fueled arrogance, but the kid obviously had zero concept of cause and effect prior to putting the GTR into the side of the road. lol

[tuzzio]

It looks like in DJ's video, it was just being allowed leaving the show. Theres always 1...

+1 for getting old. This is basically what I've done with my 97. Basic Tien/KYB suspension, stock aero, and R33 wheels.

Might actually have enough to make a build thread, finally.

You can't see it in the picture, but that's exactly what I have for calipers on the car too (z32s). You sure you're not stalking me and just messing with my head?

No doubt. And that picture is about 10 years old. Though I don't have those wheels on it anymore, now RPF1s for weight and size reasons, though hardly a big styling change. The picture in my signature has R32 GTR wheels and was taken around 2006.

Farzams old S14 up for sale. Comical to say the least, although I'm sure with all the negative comments the owner is probably getting the offers he actually wants. I'm unsure whether to be happy or not with the ridiculous prices of these cars. I think it means mine becomes more valuable every day. even with no intentions of selling. I think the Price + ad is DIW.

[crash n' burn]

mmm, yesss..legendary 1 of 1 ls swapped s14.

Considering what it was listed for 9 years ago, it's not such a ridiculous jump.

While I understand your point, i'd say that was at the "height" of the LS swap trend, and when things were less readily available.

Also, Farzam had the car listed for $25K in March of 2020 on facebook.

On the current owners post, someone posted a video of the car basically being driven straight into a curb. Interesting stuff.

lol, you have to be a moron to buy in the current market. once this economic bubble burst they're gonna be left with a toy worth a third of the price they paid, all on a loan they still owe almost 100% xD
