s14 by nissan sss

Post by nissan sss »

ok so i have been searching long and wide for a s14 as we all know they are quite rare to find one and even more rare to find a good one.
so was looking at a few 1st one was stock but dash was cracked and interior wasted.
2nd was one from the club the rb25det awesome car good price but would like to have bought it and keep my gxi.
3rd was sly gxi s14 sweet car lots of extras and good price for what you get was getting ready to buy it had a little issue to get all the funds as i will have to sell my gxi first.

so after a while my brother spotted a s14 on for me and i went to have a look and yeah that is the one i bought.

so this is the car it is a 1997 s14 with only 141000 km's on the clock, so it was looked after but the owner was not so clued up and the car still needs some love,
interior overall good condition everything works but needs the pod at left door handle and fuse box cover.
everything else is working, but seats is hard and needs att.
body they did touch up the bumpers and hood with pearl white and the paint is poor so will get a respray along the line.
motor turbo is screwed so needs to be replaced, the motor is also a s13 sr20det and not s14 was pissed about this but it is one of those things, was done good and every thing is in working condition including the ac.

the owner did replace exhaust and filter only but exhaust is a 50mm so it will be redone again.
its got 17'' wheels and that is that
