We had the idea of running an oval exhaust a few months back when we were still in the I wish mode. Just so happens that luke made that exhaust and gave us more inspiration...lol. Plan right now are to use the headers he has now, adapt v-band, and run full ovals to maybe a trust dd exhaust. What do you guys think?

Again we are going to run this car basically on the ground with a bunch of suspension mods to correct geometry.

Precisely. If I had the cash flow I would have bought their headers and got them cut up to fit right...I will just go for the shorties right now so I can spend the money where I need it - to get the car running!

I am still torn between using the Trust DD or not...I have feeling the muffler is going to hang down a whole lot more then I need it to. If someone REALLY wants a turbo Trust DD for an S14 PM me as I may be willing to come off of it, haha.

Sick build so far man, can't wait to see the end of this. My favorite builds are ones that involve a motor that isn't supposed to be in that chassis. Anticipating updates soon!

VAs13 · 12-01-2009, 06:14 PM

knoop and danny, you have both suprised the hell out of me.

the car looks like its coming along nicely. keep that shit up

ballinnmiami240sx · 12-06-2009, 06:08 PM

Sikky kit is by far the best one out there. All parts are top notch.

Razmus car is almost complete. I had to share this picture of the white engine bays next to each other.

I will have a ton more pictures of the susppension mods that will be going on this car. Im pretty sure a handful off people are doing what we are about to do.

Subframe with PBM solid yanks

Royal_T · 12-06-2009, 06:39 PM

Can't wait,,, love this thread

95KA-Turbo · 12-06-2009, 07:12 PM

I am exhausted! I just got back home from working on the car. I didn't bring my camera because I wanted to try and focus on 100% business.

The rest of my crap came in for my roll center adjusters, so Danny will be getting those welded up this week.

The door bars are completed and look sick as hell - I'm sure Danny will snap a picture of those this week too.

I got my 300ZX uprights on the rear, and they definitely weigh a good 7lbs less then the stock ones.

The front subframe is back on the car as well.

This shit should be getting put back together here shortly. The rest of my motor stuff should be wrapped up in a month or so. I ended up picking up an LS6 intake manifold, and should be getting my wiring harness/ecu in the next week or so.

epics13 · 12-06-2009, 07:27 PM

awsome thread cant wait to see more.

thatdrifterguy · 12-07-2009, 07:38 AM

damn, i should do my subframe too. i just brought my car to the shop to begin the ls1 swap today

ballinnmiami240sx · 12-09-2009, 07:57 PM

SUSPENSION:

Got the lower control arms done. They received a momo ball housing, boxing in, and notching. We are hoping for more than 55* off angle at full lock. Right now with my knuckles we are at 51* at full steering lock.

jrhgolf23 · 12-09-2009, 08:14 PM

thats a shit ton of angle!
definately cant wait to see that.

We plan to go in BACKWARDS!!!!

95KA-Turbo · 12-09-2009, 08:46 PM

Yeah...it should be interesting to see how the first event goes, since I am going from stock knuckles to beyond retarded angle knuckles.

Yeah. The craziest part is, while even though he did it the best that day, there is a video of the whole event on youtube and to be competitive you had to enter that turn like that!

95KA-Turbo · 12-14-2009, 07:56 PM

WoolyS14DET · 12-15-2009, 06:29 PM

And semen... If it ain't white it ain't right... Seriously.. Go see a doctor. lol

ballinnmiami240sx · 12-15-2009, 09:19 PM

modded s14 RE_spec super angle knuckles with modded lower control arms to hopefully correct the suspension geometry of a lowered 240.

Everything on this picture is not fully bolted down and missing a few bushings and spacers for the GM ball joint. We will get the car on the ground this weekend.....

We still need to mod the tierod pick up. We plan to use another spherical bearing with a bolt to lower the tierod parallel to the lower control arm.

BBS SHOTS. Nothing has been bolted down yet. I took these pics to see what other mods need to be done to pull this off. These are picks at full lock. Well not really beacause these wheel are gianourmous. I still had about another 3/4's on the tie rod to steering rack travel.

HouseElf · 12-15-2009, 10:16 PM

damn that is going to be a monster... subscribed

93nismo · 12-15-2009, 10:18 PM
