Havnt driven the S14 yet without ABS, But on S13 I didnt feel any differance, ABS only works when you lock the wheels, so might make a differance on a wet road, helping to avoid lockup.

Fitted the propshaft. Cost about R350 to have the bigger yoke fitted and they shortened the shaft by about 20mm.

Had the accelerator cable shortened by 230mm to fit the linkage wich is closer to the firewall than on the SR20.

RBSX, I do all the work myself, in our earthmoving machine workshop. Have my own space in the back of the shop. Now with all the rain in CT, I have enough free time.

Anyway, fitted the air filters, 2 x 75mm inlet Simota filters. Made some stainless pipes to place the filters in the left front corner.

All these stainless pipes wil be polished.

Got the engine covers back from polishing. A bit more work before we can start the engine. Fitting new cam belt and then the engine management system can be wired up. hope to have it started by end of the month.

ljS14, I think your car with the mod. RB25 will be faster and more power than the std RB26. RB26's only make more power once the turbo's are upgraded, so I will follow you down the straight !! :lol: :lol:

I still have to learn how to drive properly :lol: ,By that time you will have 2x GT 28 on the motor :wink: What are your plans with the turbos? What power does the stock RB26 make?

Rather do one big turbo in the RB26.

It will most prolly be more reliable. Or if you wanna do twin turbos, do it sequential, thus the small gt28 or t25g boosting a bigger turbo canceling lag. Just a thought! :wink:
