My 14...

[Tard Of War]

I've been in the car scene for about 6 months but always "whoring"...........now i have my license as of today (y) and i finally have a respectable car........so thought i would put up a showcase on it....

It is a 97 s14 series 2 coupe
-Pearl white paint
-vertex body kit
-Sitting on impul 17's, not the best rim just have good offset....i got what i payed for.
-Tein superstreets coilovers (aus spec i think -_-)
-FMIC
-Standard sr with what i suspect china 6 boost lookalike manifold -_-
-3 inch turbo back exhaust
-All the fruit stereo wise....
-Dished steering wheel
Few little bits and bobs added since last update.

Still loving the car.


Heres some pictures for your enjoyment...New pictures.

that car right?

[Jmoore]

kids these days and their cars.

looks good, just dont put it into a tree or similar object

[TJ]

Dont p plater it into a tree. Some tough jap rims, on its hole = win

[Ryan]

any full car photo's ?

[MikeS14]

looks good man, you'll love it.
cranking your hours up and learning in it is the way to go.

[adrenalin]

Agree rims gotta go they are shit.

Looks pretty clean and yea dont go Tokyo drifting out of leach and smash it

[Lonewolf]

nice pickup, you'll be a cop magnet in that on P's, but enjoy it without being a hero.

[Tard Of War]

cheers guys and yes i will be trying to avoid trees and similar objects and hopefully the rims are selling tomorrow....then to jpc for a set of bronze works i have my eyes on.....then in time with the magic money i'd like to add some mild mods and ill get more pictures when i start driving it...

[Lonewolf]

also, recommend you start doing some AHG driver training days on the skidpan so you can learn how the car will behave when driving it hard.

[phwoar]

Its hilarious people recommending driver training just cause they are a little older with weak as piss pulsars

[ecent]

I've never had any trouble with my gtr and being a p plater, so hopefully you don't. Nice car also

Yes, hilarious is him wrapping it around a power pole when the back end steps out.

Fucktard.

[phwoar]

FWD for the win?

Fucktard? you're the fucktard for trying to imply he cannot drive.

Keep to your little pulsar and dirty NOR.

[Tard Of War]

lonewolf does raise a good point i did plenty of on road training in my old car........but in this i plan to enter as many ahg and no limits events as i can becuase the fact is im young and stupid so i may aswell be able to control my car through nearly anything.......

[phwoar]

dont stress dude, lonewolf hasnt done fuckall but still seams to think hes superior cause you are younger then he is.

[Lonewolf]

I recommend anyone making a big change in cars goes and does it, much rather people spin out/understeer on a skidpan than into another persons car on a cruise, let alone someone just getting their licence.

LOL @ attempted insults.

Keyboard warrior at its best.
Shut the fuck up.

Linguini: Nice car mate just piss the rims off and enjoy it.

[Tard Of War]

i don't want my showcase turning into a shitfight and i've seen loanwolf at no limits a few times, and hes right young p platers should do madotory driving training to increase there driving skills..........i don't see it as a personal targeting on myself.....

[phwoar]

sorry mate, lonewolfs comment was not deserved

as rucker says, lose the rims

no keyboard warrior here

[Kye]

dont stress dude, lonewolf hasnt done fuckall but still seams to think hes superior cause you are younger then he is.

And who the fuck are you hero??

6 posts rite.
post 7 should read as follows:
I'm a fuck tard

I'm fuckin off to another forum with like minded camel fuckers.

Yer good point, because your s14 is alot different the the diesel 4wd navara you " learnt in "

[Tard Of War]

yea its true, i'd like to try and host an ahg day for as many young drivers that want to come....can never learn your car and skills enough

[evil.e30]

nice car dude, whats with p platers with the expensive cars lol

i guess if you work hard, you deserve it :)

[Halle Terry]

I had my Chaser since I was on my P's so I'll share some wisdom man, take it easy, love and respect your car and it will show you the same back, I've had few close calls in my car solely because of my own stupidity, I hope nothing bad comes to you and your car.

Hope to see you out and about sometime :)

[kurbn]

also, recommend you start doing some AHG driver training days on the skidpan so you can learn how the car will behave when driving it hard.

I would have to agree very strongly with Lonewolf, I had quick FWD cars for quite some time & purchased a decently powered R32 3 years ago.. I had little experience when it came to respecting my 32's ease of popping the tail out.. Coming home one night over a bridge on the hwy in the wet I literally mildly accelerated to pass someone on the slightest bend, boost came up, back end came out and threw me into the wall at 80 ks. It happened Fast!

a rather expensive lesson

I would recommend you do some driving days also so you can understand your cars limits alot better and learn how to get out of things quicker.

not saying your a bad driver, I just think it would be beneficial

[Alt_F4]

QFT!

[mitcho]

Nice 14, nice and clean. OT - Is your name Daniel by any chance?

[ben351]

this looks like BBK's mates old car ?

[R3N]

Just some preemptive advice, check if your front pipe has a flex pipe in it, if it doesn't, I recommend you get one that has. If you have a china s/s manifold and no flexy front pipe, engine movement (on probably worn engine mounts) will make your manifold crack. Cheaper and easier to change the front pipe than a cracked mani. Enjoy

[Tard Of War]

cheers once again guys and once again i agree with the suggestions of ahg course....i know how to handle a car just i can never turn down a day of fun and good education at ahg course so if anyone organises a day im definately keen....and ren i don't believe it has the flexi pipe you speak of sounds like a worthy investment.....only had a quick look under on the hoist at work and is quite clean.....and another update 19's are now gone and the hunt for a nice set of 17's or 18's begins going to jpc tomorrow to see what i can pick up for a good price :-)

[Halle Terry]

Good fitment gets bitches mate, make sure you hunt around for a nice set :)

[Tard Of War]

thats the aim man looking at a few sets from there thinking in black or bronze and about 17x9 and 17x9.5 with decent offset or equivelent in 18's just pending on design but hopefully the guys a jpc fix me up with a good set and price tomorrow..will update pictures if i get them

[ttomred4000]

good work lingrat!
no fence ramming in this

[Tard Of War]

haha :-D ill text you what tools ill need tomorrow from work dard for the wheels, camber arm and pads.

[Torquen]

Nice 14 mate, as others have said fuck off the rims for some nice jap wheels and just enjoy her :)

[Tard Of War]

yea man sold the 19's to a camry owner today haha going to jpc tomorrow to get some new jap style rims so hopefully shes looking gigity tomorrow....

[Tocchi]

JPC have a good range, but given your WTB thread, you "may" find $1k or lower Jap rims in a style you really want.

saying that, there are some well priced non-name brands on the JPC site :)

[Tard Of War]

yea man theres a couple of rims there for around 1k ill just have to see were negotiating gets me haha

[AndrZeJ]

ah me ghost car memories

[PABS]

[Tard Of War]

[PABS]

[Silencio]

OMG GRATZ ON THE NEW CAR.....hang on......little late yeh. i think we all know where little lingers got the appetite to get a 14 yeh :)

[Tard Of War]

cmon rad behave your self, my car inspired you to put power in your 14 :)

[TJ]

This thread should inspire you both to make it official.

[Tard Of War]

im only in it for his mums cooking nom nom :)

[Silencio]

oh yeh.....my car has mods... the cool kids update their showcases with mods....hmmmmm

[Tard Of War]

mods require money rad and we all know i live on my fortnights pay :)

[mitchy]

lol.. buying a nissan when you can barely afford to live is a bad recipe.

[Tard Of War]

Thought i'd do an update on the car

Mod list hasn't changed since my last update

-Changed coilovers to custom made pedders (coilovers) they go much lower and car handles the roads much better with them.

-Got bored on saturday so stripped most of my interior and painted centre console gloss black and roof lining black, in my opinion it looks alot better then the factory grey....

-Car is sitting on stockies as my rims are hopefully selling asap and i'm looking at some work Meshie style rims hopefully will sit nice..

In the future i want power but with my apprentice wages and poor ability to save money tell me that it will take along time to build up.....

-Would start with the general bolt on's but a 190XXX km old motor won't last so over longterm i'd like to build my own motor up.....
Figure i'd love to see from it one day would be around the 350- 400hp mark...

[Tard Of War]

Small update on friday the 26th i decided the car deserved a service......so went to repco ended up leaving with a brand new mig welder and a fair few other bits

Got home
-Bonnet off
-Jacked car up onto stands
-The usual oil and filter off
-went to bottle shop to purchase becks :D
-Then Pulled sump off, oil pickup off and checked timing chain tension and bearing conditions looked mint to me cleaned up and put everything back resealed sump....
-Then i removed the Rocker cover for a clean up and look then decided i wanted to get rid off the nissan and other emblems on cover, so i went at them with a grinder got them off gave it 3 or so coats of high temp primer and then applied some wrinkle black, decided i'd go black as my motors stock and doesn't really need bright pink to attract attention to it.....and loved the affect of wrinkle black....
-Also i rewelded my exhaust learnt im terrable at welding but only practise can improve that, changed my spark plugs gapped them at 0.08mm and car sounds cammed up now :P
-Then i refitted everything gave it a clean up were possible and that occupied my friday night and most of today but im happy with the service :-D

Heres some pics for you to ponder on..

[Lonewolf]

rocker cover looks tops mate

[Tard Of War]

cheers man much prefer the black over bright blue and the texture is bombed

[Silencio]

still rolling with a stocker turbo - even a flash rocker cover wont 'cover' that up

[Tard Of War]

if you give me money rad ill upgrade it but until then i'd rather spend money on ink

[RS_Gav]

That cover does look tops. Love me wrinkle paint. Plenum would look great with it on too mate.

Your to-do list is very similar to mine... but beer is the first important step!

[Tard Of War]

i was thinking of doing the plenum with the left over paint and primer, just to busy this weekend maybe soon, yea as is i'd rather spend money elsewere and can't afford major mods so just keep it running mint..

[PAGZ]

Big fan of a nice simple s14a, is this running the ballbearing t28?

[Tard Of War]

yeaa just need some nice wheels for it and a better diff then ill be happy, and sure is running the ever handy t28. and finnaly may have a sourced a new drivers guard to sort the dent out... :)

[PAGZ]

Power fc! dooooo it, needs a tune before anything else ;)

[Tard Of War]

yea considered it a cheap one went up last night but for series 1 didn't know the looms were different so that sorta ruined my day but o well one day its copping a PFC.

[Lonewolf]

yeaa just need some nice wheels for it and a better diff then ill be happy, and sure is running the ever handy t28. and finnaly may have a sourced a new drivers guard to sort the dent out... :)

Wont be a ballbearing one if its std :)


Power fc! dooooo it, needs a tune before anything else ;)

Nah man, Nistune has pretty much killed off the powerFC, but agreed a tune will really wake things up.

[Tard Of War]

hmmm turbo sounds ballbearing so may not be standard and hasn't popped under 16+ psi boost so im happy :P

Yea thinking PFC or nistune and diff then taking it to track....one day

[sam5709]

looks tough on dumped on stockies :boink:

[Silencio]

got a power fc , squirters, z32 afm all sitting here.....

[Tard Of War]

cheers fellas and yea stockies at 16'' means cheap tyres :)

and rad you could give me all your parts in a swap for my stock parts ;)

[grogers]

love your car dude coming along nicely :D

[Tard Of War]

cheers man one day it will sit on some nice wheels and hopefully make some nice figures but only time and saving cash will make it how i want it.
Upside is i won't have to pay for installing of parts as i know my sr's quite well :D

[AndrZeJ]

yeah legally bought a s14a at auction when i was 19, was stolen recovered with vin number hanging out of the firewall inches from being removed

lol. serious ?
