|
|
hi guys,
i want to introduce my long lasting "i have no idea what i'm doing but still having fun" project - rotten daily beaten drift missile S13 with 1JZ and kouki type-x.
everything started from this: i bought it and welded some shit and painted it
It had ca18 engine with tubular exh manifold, T25g with braided hoses, 2.5"exhaust, fmic, apexi filter, etc:
then i heard some knocks:
then my friend kinda crashed it a little bit:
then i fixed some shit - 600hp looks, lol
i had a local drift training day so i thought fuck it and i gave it a shot. well it looked stupid but i didn't have any overheating problems that day lol
i have fixed that front a little bit more so i could put on all fenders, lamps, hood etc
i used 5kg hammer and steel cable attached to another car. main part of body was straight, just a front part was smashed so it drives straight, but the clean look is already gone
so after a while i've bought a rhd soarer, took the engine out, and sold the rhd chassis. it didn't have decent papers and i couldn't get parts for LHD swap so it was useless anyways. although it was mint condition.
it had manual swap, it used w58 box from mkiv 2jzge supra, everything was bolton as i was told.
i've sold my ca18det engine, turbo kit, exhaust, custom made fmic setup. everything was bolt-on so it went away really fast.

and then jz went in:
driveshaft finished. i just love the new tube. also the welding is incredible.
s15 throttle cable, modified and shortened by 32mm.
had to chop and weld water outlet pipe so i can use ca18 rad, because there is too little space to use stock jz intake manifold and sr radiator.
so i finished all bullshit with my water pump, everything was running again.
i fabricated some fmic piping, got it tig welded and leak tested:
got a massive 16 inch fan on my stock ca18 rad, mounted with my ghetto fabrication zip tie mounts:
its about ~1cm of area between cooling fan and the engine, so it's a tight fit.
and i got a local technical inspection sticker, something like uk MOT certificate that shows that car technical condition is acceptable. i had to drive 150km to my hometown to get that because i'm in some kind of blacklist so i had no chance to get tech inspection cert in a big city. my tach shows ~1,5x more rpms and speedo does not work, so after 120-140kmh cruise with a welded stock 45mm s13 exhaust my water temps went way up so i had to stop for a cool down. that's when my friends totally randomly stopped by and sourced some water for a rad refill. top chaps!
so now i'll have to cut the stock s13 exhaust off to help the engine breathe. it does not go on boost and hesitates when i hit wot. stock exhaust is SO restrictive, fuck that.
also previous owner used water instead of antifreeze, so engine is full of brown oxides and other crap. i need to clean in with running water or whatever. one of the main bugs is the prop shaft bearing. something got fucked up and i have slight vibrations when starting in 1st gear, hopefully i can solve this before it blows my tranny seals.
had to check if it can do a burnout. yeap, it works.
so i've made a proper exhaust so now i can use it as a daily.

so i had some problems with my engine getting hot after a few laps so i bought a 50mm 3core copper koyo radiator:
looks massive
stock vs koyo
measuring & shit
new lower rad mount points
it fits
i've found a present from a previous owner - aftermarket temp sensor just screwed fingertight into a wall in the rad and covered in some epoxy sealing shit. i've been using 1,1bar cap so it got blown really fast. had to get it soldered at a specialty shop. this is what we get for buying used parts...
some time ago i was invited to do few demo runs on a kart racing circuit on the roof of a shopping mall. we were told not to crash anywhere. yeah, right... i crashed at least 3 times? can't remember, but i've found few dents lol
it had a concrete runway and it ruined my tires on first few warm up laps, so i thrashed it till my tire exploded and then left my car in the circuit for the night.
and i had a crash in a drift practice, killed my 4th stock ca18 rad (before the koyo)
so basically i'm killing it slowly
i was participating in an matsuri type event, but due to organizing failure we did not have proper track lights so e had to stop runs before 22h. had a blast, engine held perfectly, just needed to do some pauses to cool the oil because im skint and cant afford an oil cooler.
shitty onboard of my shitty runs with a shitty cheap china camera

I got tired of hitting my legs to the doors and steering wheel, so i bought a ksport bucket seat.
3mm mounting plates, 30x30x3mm crossmembers, sandtler seat mounts, wurth cat12 hardware and ksport bucket seat.
boring stuff
i got rid of sound deadening some time earlier, so i saved few hours
drilling some spotwelds
cat bump was cut out for seat rails
using angle grinder to the limits
fresh stuff
can't get lower than this. couldn't fit my finger between the rail and floor, there's just enough space for mounting nuts and carpet
fully welded
carpet, crossmembers, seat mounts - oem look. i like to keep this car street legal. this is my daily ride before the snow.
ksport uses different bolt pattern so i had to redrill the mounts to fit the seat.
awesome mod, so much input from the car.
so everything works fine so i thought that its a perfect time to get my body smashed a little bit more
and then i got it somewhat fixed
well..
good as new!
my friend finally posted our local training day video so you can check it out
https://vimeo.com/80553272
So it's time for some steering lock modifications:
control arms lengthened by 25mm each, custom knuckles, adjustable tension rods, 25mm custom lhd offset spacers, s14 tie rods with tie rod ends.
cutting shit
welding shit
more welding
closeup
stuff
a little bit more wide
assembled for bump stop position testing, lock is not final
R17x9JJ et30, looks really nice. i'm tired of driftcars with shopping cart wheels up front
So i got my car assembled and it's rolling on its own wheels again. I've changed steering column (had to raise engine by 10cm because couldn't take the old shit out), new u-joint in steering rod, refurbished s14 brakes with goodridge armed hoses, new hard brake lines under the hood, bleeded brakes, custom fuel filter bracket, got my radiator tig welded to stop any leaks. lots of minor stuff took lots of time and effort. i have two weeks left for building my car, because first event at 04.19, and i need to test my car before that.
next step is to put 215/45/17 up front and adjust the camber/caster/toe. also raise the front a little, tires rub every-fuckin-thing.
My lovely kouki type-x bodykit. guess who's gonna be pretty this year
Also did some boring wires.
damn, it's getting hot _________________ www.teambeat.lt

viss skaisti, tik tā bundža jau tik sūdīga, ka pat tolmets pretī neņems

lots of japan tuners weld their knuckles, also australian/new zealand tuners likes c's garage do this to their cars and clients. all parts were fully prep'd before welding and welded by a professional welder so there's no way they will fail.
currently they are painted black, stealth mode - on!

I had something like 4 days left until the first drift event and figured out that its possible to put the s14 subframe in.
i've used custom two piece poly offset rising subframe bushings to do this. s14 subframe, s13 camber arms, s14 diff cover etc.
So the stock s13 rear end was dropped, s14 oem subframe bushings got drilled out, changed some bits like camber arms, s13 dustshields with s13 handbrake stuff. so i'm left with full s14 running gear + thicker s14 rear swaybar + 5lug + fully functioning s13 killer handbrake
Body had to be modified to fit the subframe because bushings did not sit flush with the body rails so i've hammered here and there. i got carried away with the hammer and made a mess, did not really need to hammer this hard, but oh well...
Bodykit got painted, my friends multitasked and put the body while i was busy with the subframe. Master brake cylinder failed and started pushing air to the front brake contour on the last night before the alignment, so had to change to random untested one. got my alignment done and now i have front camberio -2'30'', toe out 0'05'' per side, caster -7'12''. rear camber ~ -2', toe in 0'10'' per side.
i like this set up, does not understeer hard, front end feels grippy. heavier steering wheel but heavy engine and 9jj wheels does not help for this. rear end is grippy on power, informative traction and acceleration when sideways.
