yeah but some people with fancy ass wheels (te's clear everything) that are O-disk and shit won't even clear z32 brakes

Assuming he's an s14 5 lug assembly this should work for him too.

Ksport sells 6piston front as well as 4piston rear kits for the s13. You can check it out at enjukuracing.com. It's not cheap but you scoop them up. i'm sure i've seen kits sold by willwood and im sure they wouldn't be as expensive as ksport. If all else fails kits can be custom fitted to the s13 as well.

Hey Greg. I don't know if you have one of these, but they're going for cheap on ebay right now. I picked up one for myself.

So for almost 5000 dollars anyone can have huge brakes and a non functioning ebrake. Or add one of their hydro e brakes that I've read stellar reviews about on the forum

and hope someone fabs a locking system for it to hold the car in place?

Bad suggestion, bolt on isn't always better my friend. Especially K-SPORT

I never said that it was the best route just an option. For function he should be fine with z32's but if it's for looks nothing beats 6 and 4 pistons hiding behind those TE's. As long as he isn't beating on the car, he should be fine. GReddy had a setup like this before. I know enjuku sold these a few years back but I guess they are discontinued. Personally I wouldn't run ksport but thats because I track my car and can't trust their brakes durability through a full track day.

In the end I still love you, and I love s13's so I will vicariously build one through Damon!

so apparently you love you some grams. i must say that was probibly...no no, the most baller solara on the planet. hard to say baller and solara next to each other..

<3 moar updates on your blog sir

. I forgot to mention stillin has alot of kits from AP racing that are much cheaper then and light years better then ksport. This is the route I hope to go after my wife kicks me out of the house for planning on spending over $4k in brakes alone.

aKaFlipSide · 08-26-2011, 02:20 AM

I just read through the whole thread... all 56 pages.

Your car is fucking sick. Period.

And I've come to realize that I now regret getting a s14 instead of a s13. That is all.

Thanks man- I would, but I don't think I have any use for one! I had a GReddy filter relocation for a little while, but it looks cleaner with the filter in the stock location, haha.

Correct. Thankfully, there is no fast blink on this car. That drives me crazy, haha.

Not sure what I'll do with the brakes, if anything. Like I said, they have plenty of stopping power for the street right now, so it's just something that might be fun to mess with down the road. I wouldn't go with K-Sport, though- you can get Stoptechs for the price of those things.

I'm sort of iffy on the Brembos from other cars thing, but I am not sure why. It's not out of the questions I guess- we'll see what happens!

Drift_This · 08-26-2011, 09:32 AM

Wilwood does not directly make a 4 piston caliper kit for the rear on a s chassis. It's another company that takes the Wilwood calipers and makes an adapter kit.

But back on subject Damon you car is very well put together and you have an amazing eye for detail on your cars. Keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work, drive her 'til she implodes in a cloud of awesome, love life.

CamryOnBronze · 09-10-2011, 08:37 PM

Whew, it's been a while since I worked on this thing.

I spent most of the day today dinking around with the car. The Zeta III and the kouki 180SX rear seat have both been sold in favor of the new setup. The passenger side 180SX seat is up for grabs as well, but hasn't sold yet. I won't say what the new setup is yet, but I am pretty stoked about it. Part of the new setup is here, but the new seats are still on the way:

I started out by removing the Koyo radiator I was running and selling it earlier this week. The new GReddy radiator is ready to drop in. I was going to install my GReddy alternator pulley as well, but I don't have the collar/spacer required to use the pulley. Hopefully I can score one soon to get that installed.

Here is how the bay sits at the moment. Unfortunately, I had to move the fuse boxes back into the bay for reliability back in July. Hoping to clean this thing up a bit if I can this winter:

I then moved on to installing the new diff. I got a crazy deal on an S15 helical and decided to sell my Tomei 2 way in favor of this diff. I loved the Tomei unit, but it was overkill for a street car.

Someone thought it would be a neat idea to paint the diff housing red. Not cool. I decided to spray bomb it black before tossing it in the car:

Upon inspection of the car, I realized that the CV boot on my passenger side axle is torn and was spraying grease all over the underside of the car. I'll pick up another axle this week and toss it in to complete the install.

Next, I moved on to the suspension. I have had Cusco tension rods, traction rods, and RUCAs sitting around for a couple months now and decided to install them. I didn't have any issues with my SPC parts, but the deal on the Cusco stuff was too hard to pass up.

I don't have any replacement toe rods yet, but will probably end up ordering a set of Cusco ones to complete the set. The new seats should be here towards the end of the week, so I'll be sure to post an update when the car is back on the road!

A seat is one of those things that I will rock race car status, even though I have no use for it. lol. I love S15s, but not illegal cars for me. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night!

Transmission jack from Harbor Freight, lol. I didn't actually use it to install the diff though. I think it might be too tall, but I dunno. it works nice as a stand to roll it around on if nothing else.

Casperjay · 09-11-2011, 08:54 AM

Oh, I thought you said I should build an S15. I guess I was confused by your comment, lol. No S15 seats for me though dude.

Hey man, its Rory, saw the seats for sale and read your thread, you're not getting the Origin CF seat delete from Touge Factory are you? I ordered one through Otaku Garage last week cuz he knows them. Should be in Tuesday. I'd be über bummed if we rocked the same setup next season
