S14 With Neo Rb25 Drift Car.


Recommended Posts

with Bens and mine we have an extra gasket due to the adapter plate. we spent heaps of time cleaning all the gasket and carbon ect off the things. they are very time consuming. i have also pulled the complete intake off a GTR in the car chasing a leak. that is not a fun job.

who flocked your dash in the end?

i was reading in HPI that you can buy cheap flocking kits off the net. no one does it in norther tas as some of the rally teams used to send there dashes to the mainland to be done.

just noticed you dont run a hydro. never felt the need?

i had a hydro in the car when i bought the shell... did 1 track day with it before i ripped it out.. im not a fan of the hydro interfering with the footbrake assy. due to the way i drive with lots of braking/handbrake at the same time i just dont like it on the same circuit. In my KE i had twein callipers on the rear with an duel separate circuits.. that works brilliantly. Will be doing the same on the s14 soon. But really the cable handbrake with good pads works faultlessly

as for the flocking kits.. i got a local mate to do it for me.. he used an Ebay kit.

i got the link out of HPI then i checked on ebay. there is a company in the UK that was the company listed in HPI and its easier and cheaper to buy off ebay.

nice progress on the wiring.

new stuff looks awse, does the haltech 1000 have map sensor? i want to rewire my car cant wait to start fresh with a haltech 1000 and race dash in the future & fresh wiring. im a bit overwhelemed to attempt it now with butchered harnesses.

Loving the build, mate.

I have an S14 I'm building up atm as well, and the dash is cracked in a few places. How well does flocking cover tthe cracks? Or is a whole new dash a better option? It will be a street car, so quality and looks are quite high on the agender for me.

my dash was cracked before.. now i cant even notice it... it seems to have covered it pretty well! pretty happy with the outcome but i highly doubt the flock material is going to stand the test of time.

RBish: yeah the haltech has a inbuilt mapsensor, you can run up to 22psi before needing an external map sensor. as for the rewire.. its not for the faint hearted haha, im actually writing an article for drift battle atm on this very topic.

manifold is underway... should be finished very soon. its a work of art and a Garage 7 speciality item. it features a laser cut collector, equal length runners, a flange that bolts to either RB20/25 and Rb26 bolt pattern along with some other tricks..should work well!

well found the cause of death and overheating on the old set up... i went to wire up the fuel pumps in the boot and thought i would prime the surge tank so it was full before i attempt to start it. manually powered up the lift pump in the tank with 12v direct from a battery and nothing happens... turns out its dead as it can be.. so last few events it has been running off the twin 044's alone and the suction from those pumps draws fuel into the surge. crazy, no wonder it melted pistons!

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
