That does seem to be becoming the norm for a lot of people although quite were the money comes from to buy them I have no idea?!

 

I certainly don't earn enough to buy one.

I always said that my next car would be R35, but I can't afford one + buying a house this year.

Does anyone know if import OEM suspension is same as UK suspension? For a 2005/2006 car

And may be someone has a set they want to get rid of?

Thanks, but looking for the cheapest option.

Amazing work uncle K! Looks superb!

Thanks all That car is now sold anyway...so may be its a sign haha

I did. Bit more math and if I carry on saving till about August - I should be ok for a deposit without selling Zed lol

But because I was thinking about changing so much, I kinda do want something else now lol but I will wait till end of summer, will enjoy it in good weather (if we get any) and then will see

You can all relax for now haha

Answer: not very

How much do you put in?: 1 bottle

Yea, they really didn't think it's through for Zeds as the angle blower is mounted it's pretty much impossible to take it out.

Last year, when I did my 1 fluid change, I thought "I'll put same amount as I drain". I drained about 1.5 bottles (if comparing to the small bottles that fluid comes in), but then done research and found that 1 bottle is enough.

Also, Stephen/Chuby ninja, put a bit more in his and it pushed seals out when he was on track. And then he said that 1 bottle is enough.

Thanks all for tips and advise.

Will surely take a note of all!

Hey?

Vlad I know nothing about the S14's so can't comment on there worthyness etc, ...but I was in a similar situation to you last year and as you know I sold my Zed in order to increase my "free cash" available to me whilst I bought our house/moved/furnished it etc.

 

It's a difficult decision getting rid of a car you've spent so much time, money & love on so only you can make the decision whether it's right or wrong to get rid of it but imo if you're doing it for the reasons I think you are then you need really to get a downgrade car for a year or two. Not a 400bhp+ modified car that in your own words you know little about so could go wrong so fast & end up costing you big money to repair.

 

It doesn't have to be a 1.2 litre sh*t box downgrade car though Vlad as there are plenty of quick cars (hot hatches/saloons/coupes etc) out there which would still put a smile on your face during a spirited drive and be reliable enough not to cost you much cash whilst you moved house & saved for a better car.

Just my 2 pence mate.

Yea, I see exactly what you mean, mate.

Reason I like that S14 - next year I wanted to fully strip Zed and make it into drift car...but then didn't really want to do it at same time as its pretty much immaculate. So thought it would be ideal for a drift car at some point

As I want a little luxury car next year as well (depending on finances)...something like an Audi.

So that would be perfect...

Sell Zed

Buy S14

Spare cash towards deposit for the house

A new daily next year.

But then I just got back home (Mrs was driving) and we pulled up on the drive and I saw my Zed and it just put such a big smile on my face lol

I want to be 17 again!

Seeing the prices of s bodies recently and obviously its just personal opinion, i dont think they are worth it, whats this up for?

 

+ Its old, respectively speaking, its tuned to the limit, i honestly dont think Ben is too far removed with his comment, it will break at some point, whether its a minor or major cost is another matter.

 

Stick to breathing mods/map on any car this age and its a safer bet and will probably more desirable when you come to flog it

Yea that's only thing that slightly puts me off - the age. As its 20 years old now and has 40k extra miles than zed. But then - if it's been looked after, it should be ok.

My mate who owns one - loves his and his is quite modified as well. Just advised to do a compression test on the engine and take it for a drive with someone following to see if any smoke comes out while it's on full boost.

That's definitely 2 good tips there to check for.

Guys seems more than happy to take pics for me.

Already asked him for pics of seals etc and he already sent me pict of top mounts and arches and will send more pics of seals and whole underneath tomorrow.

Rebuild/reforge is one of those questions where the answer is 'how long is a piece of string?' depends how far you went, what brands etc etc

 

200's arent unreliable, my WILL break comment was more tongue in cheek

 

Sign up to SXOC.com/vbb and have a browse/ask on there

Haha thought it might be the case.

Will have to have a very good think. It's Shane that it's 3hrs away for me as I could've gone today to have a look it and that could've been deciding point, as it could be a shed close up...even tho he said it's very clean.

Hey cossack, I've been an admirer of the S bodies styling but not enough to own one. This car looks like a good one but I think you will be mad to swap your zed for it! The man maths you are preempting will not work. Just do extra time to raise the cash you need.

Hey man. Long time...

I know what you mean, but that man math will work. I do loads of overtime as it is, so I physically can't do any more lol

Decisions decisions decisions!

Spec of the engine looks fine, its not cheap ebay parts, but that power is at the limit for stock internals imo

 

Its a 200sx so it WILL break. Its wjat they do lol

Oh lol what usually goes on them then?

And may be you know how much is to re-build/forge one of them engines?

Looks properly modded to me, S14a's are gettibg harder to find a non rusty one, though they do exist if looked after.

 

Ask for photos of sills, rear arches and strut tops for tell tale signs of rot

 

Cheers mate, will ask for that!

What about them engines and upgrades listed? Are they good? As I literally have no idea lol

 

Want it to be as good as possible, so at later date I don't feel like I've done a massive mistake by selling Zed lol

He is MOTing it tomorrow, so will get pics of underneath and the rest mentioned "hot spots" lol

Anybody wants my Zed?

I believe Docwra is the S body guru.

Hopefully he sees this then

A car that heavily modified is never going to be cheap easy ride

Well i understand that. that's why im asking if somebody know it to see if its been looked after as much as he says.

Mileage is 108k, but if its been looked after - that not gonna put me off.

I can say my Zed is quite modified - but its been looked after very well and it works perfectly, without any issues any and every time.
