Actually the Mirage/EVO took about 6 months to complete. It'll take about the same amount of time if not more for the S14/RB26DETT project.

 

my guess would be minimum 1 year

 

It's funny how they sandblast the car out in the open. Also I know the roads in Taiwan are not the best but the car is sitting a bit high.

 

Derek888.... my guess for you to have a fully built 2.4/GT35R would be...

This Mirage obviously sits a bit high. I'll get that fixed when I redo the body kit, headlights, along with a new exhaust, etc.

Yeah, roads here sucks really bad... and garages have like steep 60 degree angles that most cars can't clear...

A little story about my conflict with Taiwan Road.
6 months ago when I drove my benz with 18" Brabus 6 spoke brand new rims... I hit a pothole... cracked 2 of my rims.(These cost an arm and a leg here, just for reference, a set of BBS RSGT 18" with tires would cost $7000 here) I thought it was because of my hard suspension + big rims that caused my rims to crack at 40mph. But, while waiting for the tow truck, a stock Virage with 15" hubcaps got a flat/bent rim at the same pothole... Guess that tells me it doesn't really matter if you're on 15" or 18". Shxt happens, so instead I just got 19" for my C-class, and just drive like a turtle.

 

Thanks for your opinion, I'll try to get that changed when I have time. racerhead2

 

damn nice hatchback!! Great Job!! Hat's off to you..

 

thats is pretty awsome cant wait to see the outcome on the next build.

 

that thing is fricken awsome!

 

Very nice work!

 

Nice hatch but I'm more interested about the S14 with RB26DETT project you're working now.

I'm very familiar with 240s (s13, s14) and have owned s13 with redtop SR20 (sold!) and s14 with s14 with RB25 (still in my garage) It would be REALLY interesting if you can make your S14 AWD. I would love to see that!!

 

I like your radiator. which kind are they?

 

Well, my last project car was a S14. It dynoed 433rwhp on 91 octane pump gas with a SR20DET running at safe low boost. Car is located in California with legal plates and I know the owner wants to sell it. I hope we can do RB26DETT AWD since it's been done on a 240Z before.
