That car is a rat trap

OBEEWON 05-24-2006 07:16 PM

The work looks quality, no seriouse gaps or anything. But...

That car is begging for fender flairs and 12 inch wide wheels with ubber low offset(-12!!). R33 parts are too muscular for a S14.

Shouldnt there be an RB in there...?

he said he didnt want the weight of the RB... the body work was all done by him. 100% custom. No kits for this conversion are made. And he is working on the susp. soon i hope.

OBEEWON 05-25-2006 09:28 AM

RB isnt that heavy. For the weight it adds sufficient power. And most of the weight is in the tranny = to the middle of the car and low to the ground. So thats good. Im seeing that its 60-80 pounds heavier but im not sure. Ill do more searching later...

He did do a quality job, Ive seen it up close in person, but I must say I see why they dont make kits for that particular conversion. But thats just my opinion.

Yea a kit would consist of every body panel being replaced. Or custom cut which he did. But yea,the rb26dett is i think close to 200 pounds more.

ehh who cares about weight when u got looks. :cool:

did the s14 have chrome hub caps?

starkos14 05-26-2006 01:15 AM

hell no i dont have chrome hub caps... weird thats my first post on this thread... thanks for the comments everyone... and ask matt at import intelligence... for drag, rb25det... for drift or all around he says sr... 200lbs makes a difference in terms of balance ratio... he talked me out of an rb in the next one.... if anyone wants my car, $17k.... for sale next month... i know its a lot, but if you were the one putting in those effen tail lights, you would probable want more. besides, you have a car that looks like a skyline, quick, and handles/drifts like a 240... not a "rwd maxima with balls"

also, this is a mid-low 13 second car with basically no heavy mods

Buster 05-26-2006 02:50 AM

no i was asking if the red s14 has hubbies, i know what your car looks like

lol..

I am a pretty much un-biased opinion at this point so:

Drag: RB25DET > SR20DET
Drift: RB25DET < SR20DET
AutoX: RB SR < CA18DET

starkos14 05-26-2006 11:20 AM

starkos14 05-26-2006 11:21 AM
