Project : Daily S14

Post by fuzz123 »

Howzit guys,

I decided to start this thread so that everyone can see and enjoy the S14 I got from phoenix (Mark).

I now have the blue s14 and this green s14, but this one will remain my "daily" and the other one will be used for track/drag days.

Here are some pics after I gave it it's the first wash:

So first things to do is to install a new center bearing and there after do some repairs on the front bumper.

Ok so I have a small update:

I managed to find door panel clips for the back door panels at Pro Auto rubber in Boksburg. They have a great shop with clips and rubbers for almost any automotive need out there, you guys can really give them a shot!

Then I also managed to source a new center bearing from Nissan of Cheasapeake, they came in 1.3k lower in price than any local Nissan. So hopefully within the next week or so I can put this in, and start working on the front bumper.... :D

A couple of updates :D

So since my Blue SX's clutch went I haven't driven 1 with a proper clutch again. If I shifted from 1st to 2nd like a madman trying to show a DSG gearbox that we don't need them fancy electronics the clutch slipped badly you get all the noise but non of the power :( . So I bought the ACT organic clutch and put it in today... Wow this feels awesome again!! I haven't enjoyed driving the car as much in a long time! 8)

So at the moment the center bearing is in. New clutch fitted.

I have to replace the shocks this week aswell as the back shocks are really bad.

For interest sake here is the prices I could get:
Nissan SA : FrontR4500 excl. per shock Back R2300excl. per shock
Supa quick: All Round R5400 fitted and alignment (KYD Shocks)
Coilies: Ranges from R6000 to R12000 depending on your taste(or pocket)
Midas: KYD Shocks R2850incl. for all around.

So in the spirit of keeping it a daily and affordable(lol) im gonna go with the KYD from midas and just fit them myself... will take it for alignment afterwards.

Front bumper work has to wait a little. Oh and the radio/dash clock went dead thus my aerial not going back in, probably just a fuse will look tomorrow.
