This is a really clean example of a Aus-delivered 1997 S14a Sports. The car is manual and turbo charged. It is located in the eastern side of Melbourne (Kew East, Melway P45), approx 15mins from city.

It has been well looked after and in excellent condition. The engine never gets boosted and still runs the standard turbo. It doesn't get raced or thrashed. It comes with road worthy and 12 month registration, basically drive away. Never receives attention from the police and is driven sensibly.

The engine is reliable and responsive with only 112,000km. It starts without hesitation. Like the engine, the manual gearbox is also smooth and gear selection simple. Steering is light and tires have lots of life left.

The exterior is in especially good condition. The car was originally red but has been professionally re-sprayed in championship white. The detail of the job means it is impossible to tell the car has been re-prayed during normal day driving (only the engine bay has been left red). The color is sharp and clean.

The body kit comes from ings+1 (famous Japanese brand) and features a vertex style front bar with its quality and craftsmanship proven through its rigidity and strength.

Interior is clean and fabric is still soft and fresh. Previous owner didn't smoke. No rips or burn marks present.

Overall it's a pleasure to drive.

Main Modifications include:

Genuine HKS intercooler

Turbo back 3" Mandrel bent exhaust

Genuine Ings+1 body kit w/t vertex style front bumper (http://www.ings-net.com/top.html)

17" Advanti wheels

K&N air filter

Interior leather detailing and sports steering wheel

Inspection is welcome for genuine buyers only. Email me at [email protected] or PM is fine. Not interested in swaps.

Regards Patrick

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
