My Nissan 200sx S14a **Jap Crap Content**

[Daniel]

Please tell me you shouted ''WATCH THIS'' before it happened??

That makes crashing cool iirc.

 

[MaLicE]

lol watch this! i just laughed soooo hard!

 

[Gaz.]

Unfortunately not. The smoke and tyre rape made up for that, pre kerb contact.

 

[MaLicE]

the wheels dont look that bad... i would look at getting them fixed...

 

[Gaz.]

Drivers one is completely fucked. Passenger side might repair, but it's irrelevant seeing as the other is dead.

 

[SamP]

Drivers one is completely f**ked. Passenger side might repair, but it's irrelevant seeing as the other is dead.

Could always buy some Rota's?

 

[Gaz.]

Erm, No.

I remembered a pair of 17x10 Regas being up on SXOC. So I've PM'd the seller as it appears they didn't sell.

 

[SamP]

Erm, No.

Damn I was hoping you'd sell your soul...

 

[Gaz.]

Finally got a few days off (due to changing rotas), so cracked on with the car. Currently got standard wheels up front on some Uniroyal Rainsport 2 205/45/16s from the ZR, which were very close in diameter to the 215/40/17s of the Falkens. Rear wheels will be the front Regas with the 225/45s put on them, for the speedo.

So today I've ripped the rear anti roll bar off, the 2 toe arms and the 2 lower arms. Also filled the O/S CV joint up with some Shell Retinax LX2 and resecured the boot. Will need some new droplinks for the ARB come MOT time, so that's a nice excuse for some Whiteline ARBs

A few images, not took many today as I wanted to crack on...

Damaged vs Non Damaged lower arm

Broken bits off...

A quick flash of the straight lower arms

So I'm now waiting on Parcel Farce bringing my new Driftworks toe arms tomorrow. Next big hurdle then will be if it all aligns properly!

Also, a little something to perk the rear window up...

That's all for today.

 

[leeds_182]

Shame about the damage dude.

Im guessing its a little bit more challenging than the ZR.

 

[Gaz.]

It's too tempting to me to slide it around, that's problem. All I have is the voice saying "go for it", not the one saying "don't do it"!

Put your lass in the passenger seat - it works for me.

 

[Gaz.]

I'd rather not have her in the car, whining that when it comes on boost it upsets her lungs or whatever rubbish she comes out with.

 

[leeds_182]

I dont have those boost issues in the 106......

 

[Gaz.]

Get a supercharger on it!

Hero. Confesses and gets the f*ck on with it. Top man.

Poor Regas though... I was drooling over them last week. You b*stard.

No point bullshitting with the slippery road tales, it's so blatant it's unreal!

I know, still waiting for this guy to decide if he'll sell me his 17x10 Regas. Hope he will. Also enquired about some Autostrada Modenas last night but got a reply this morning saying they had sold

 

[Chrisjk]

Blimey that's some orange peel going on, glad you are sorting it and not giving in.

 

[Gaz.]

That's one of the worst areas for orange peel, although it doesn't get much better TBH.

 

[Chrisjk]

Planning on wetsanding it in the future? I want to do mine in a few areas on laquer run.

 

[Gaz.]

TBH, I can't be arsed. It'll probably go through the lacquer to sort the peel out, and it's full of scratches and chips. No point polishing a turd, all my cars have had paint that would make half of CS cry, so I can live with it.

 

[MikeB]

Good effort!

 

[Chrisjk]

Page 18, is the pic of the rear of your car with the HKS exhaust fitted? That backbox is huge, lust be pretty quiet, but i though they angled up?

 

[Christopher]

Silent Hi-Power?

 

[Gaz.]

Yup Silent Hi-Power. It's unbelievably quiet. It is angled up, just not massively like some cans.

These rocked up an hour ago...

Antiseized, fitted, on wheels...

Been for a test drive. No rumbling bearings is a positive. That bit of negative camber is good, but that's all I'll get on the O/S, so we'll see how much that is come alignment next week. Tracking is way out, steering wheel to the right, pulling hard to the left. Not sure why as I don't remember the front hitting anything.

I've got so much tuck that Honda owners would be ****ing themselves blind, but at least it's moving.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Good effort mate.

 

[Gaz.]

Ta Chris.

Something is clearly still out of true, as the OS camber arm is at it's shortest. When I fitted them before, they were extended out maybe 20mm and had -3.5deg of camber. There isn't that amount of neg there

 

[Christopher]

Fark. Can you not see anything else that's bent?

3.5 deg will give you Driftworks life expectancy for your tyres.

 

[Gaz.]

Nothing looks bent to the eye no. I don't want -3.5deg, but I'd like to know it can do it like it did before I had it aligned first time round. That's the proof all is as it was.

 

[Christopher]

There's a four-door R32 on DW that's begging me to buy it. lol.

 

[Gaz.]

RB20, Ex D1-SL? Being sold by Mitto? I want too!

 

[Gaz.]

Sigh, looks 900x worse now...

 

[Christopher]

RB20, Ex D1-SL? Being sold by Mitto? I want too!

That's the jobbie!

How mint?! Want.

 

[Gaz.]

That's the jobbie!

How mint?! Want.

I love how it's for sale whilst he keeps modifying it too!

 

[Gaz.]

Just paid for these babies, some Regas in 17x10...

Done a bit of driving the car, and there's still some niggles bar the obvious need for alignment.

CV boot is leaking still, don't think the zip tie is man enough to seal it up.
The horrible sound of a failing bearing, jacked it up this morning and there's play in both bearings, so they need replacing.

 

[Christopher]

Sigh.

On a positive note, those Desmonds are mint!

Are they... white?! Or is it the lighting?

 

[Gaz.]

They're Pearl White ones.

 

[Christopher]

Staying that colour and doing the front to match?

I think they'd look great in matte bronze.

 

[Gaz.]

Not sure yet. He's now told me they're actually 9s, FFS.

 

[Christopher]

Probably best TBH
