Badass. I love those 57max's too. Overall sweet track car. What kind of exterior plans do you have?

MrBojangles · 01-14-2007, 01:35 AM

truly beautiful and inspiring. Great job on the car.

EF8kid · 01-14-2007, 03:43 AM

One of the best build threads ive seen, you do really good work!

dirtdiggler666 · 01-14-2007, 11:51 AM

240sx2jz · 01-14-2007, 03:32 PM

i know this might seem to be a stupid question for some but here goes. Gavster do you think with altering the firewall the heater core and fan assembly would still fit?? i am planning on modifying my firewall to tuck my motor/trans (2jz, v161) back a lil bit but i live in ct so i still want my heat.
thanks Dane

Gavster · 01-14-2007, 03:56 PM

I was never intending to keep my heater core/blower assy, etc....So no heat by those means...I was considering inserting electric seat warmers into my recaro to keep my butt warm in the cold...I also might get an electric heater i.e. jeep style to keep warm, but initially, i wont have any heating/cooling/blower etc.

Staygold...Im looking into version select aero or OEM kouki aero + a trust lip...im not sure what ill go with, but I know from my last s14 I really loved the durability and fitment of OEM parts so...we shall see! Any one have any ideas?

MrBojangles · 01-14-2007, 04:09 PM

Provided you are keeping the Zenki front, GP Sports or OEM aero are prolly the only 2 "kits" I like.

Gavster · 01-14-2007, 06:36 PM

Im going down the kouki road as of last friday, brand new OEM:

los_inc · 01-14-2007, 06:48 PM

cheers on the good taste gavster.

PITCH · 01-14-2007, 07:35 PM

KOUKI LUV.

CKAMC · 01-14-2007, 10:56 PM

how much did you pay for them? I would have gone for the german kouki's....

ms!3 · 01-15-2007, 04:04 PM

lookin good, keep up the good work

autoxgti983 · 01-16-2007, 02:04 AM

+1 to the GP sports aero... Been watching this build for a while and I must say that you do real nice work.

Gavster · 01-16-2007, 12:43 PM

Thanks guys!! Quick update...I scored a clean set of kouki fenders locally for 200 bucks!! Now I can finish my front end welding (make headlight brackets, rad support etc) and get this thing painted. The first local Drift event is april 1, and i dont know if ill hit it, but im sure going to try my hardest!!

byhi · 01-16-2007, 12:46 PM

how much were hte kouki lights?

Gavster · 01-16-2007, 01:31 PM

Got em for about 165/side + s&h from performance nissan!! Cant beat the price for brand new OEM stuff IMO

OWTKAST cpt · 01-16-2007, 05:18 PM

You can have my car next..

The USDM kouki headlights are glass too if thats where you're trying to get at.

sepulchral · 01-17-2007, 08:25 PM

more car pics please

Doctor Murdock2 · 01-17-2007, 09:05 PM

Awesome build, I feel inspired.

s14kouki44 · 01-17-2007, 09:10 PM

i love your wheels

santacruisin · 01-17-2007, 10:35 PM

I can't believe you are doing this all yourself!! Every step of the way this car reminds me of the Weld demo car. Are you planning on moving the seating position back, too? This thing will be a BEAST when its done!

iHeartTheTouge · 01-17-2007, 11:11 PM

cant wait to see this thing done. when do you expect to have it all finished? sounds bad ass so far, good luck.

EF8kid · 01-18-2007, 09:12 AM

more pics!

sepulchral · 01-18-2007, 10:03 AM

More Pics Nowwwwwwww!!!

*kognition* · 01-18-2007, 10:36 AM

Coming along nicely Gavster

You know to come to us for lightweight exciting track carbon to improve the F=MxA formula.

Gavster · 01-18-2007, 11:37 PM

Hey guys! More pics will be up this weekend...im going to complete the sealing/welding on the firewall and construct the upper front brace so stay tuned! Kognition...PM sent

Santacruisin...The seat position will stay the same, reason being this: The RB bolted up in normal position, the shifter is about 1.5" forward of the stock SR/KA shifter position. WHen I moved it back, it was then about 1.5-2" behind stock, which i found actually more comfortable and better than stock, so I opted to leave the seating. Also, I dont have to fuss with the pedals that way!

jonuhhthinn · 01-19-2007, 12:21 AM

those are nice welds

Where are you putting the gas pedal?

the mouting spot for it has been mostly cutoff and you made the space by your feet a bit smaller, goin to be a tight squeez.
