Go back to Z32 diff. Axles and output shafts are much stronger.

Future_gohan · 09-28-2010, 03:41 PM

sorry dude but no can do. i need a welded differential in this car. ive been running an s14 diff for over two years and had 0 problems with it.

Future_gohan · 09-30-2010, 06:23 PM

Completely on the ground except I need a ball joint. lol

ZilviaKid · 09-30-2010, 06:32 PM

wtf

this is so cool.

the very idea shit on my brain

shiftdrift · 09-30-2010, 06:53 PM

nice man, maybe i'll get up there to see it with the 2j sometime

Darkvillin · 09-30-2010, 10:08 PM

still loving this.

Future_gohan · 09-30-2010, 10:38 PM

The car will be lower, its still on the lift a little. haha

Future_gohan · 10-02-2010, 06:45 PM

Well, finished everything, i hurried to get it done today, because i wanted to drive it home realllyyyyyy bad. But I ended up only getting to drive down the street, because I never had it off the lift, i didn't know how low it really was, and the rear fenders were lower than the wheel lip. So i'm in the process of pulling the rear coils and raising them an inch so i can drive it correctly. lol

Other than that, the ride was bouncy, i think because my front coilovers were blown, and the fact i've never drove a car on the road with coilovers, only in drifting so i wasn't used to it.

Ka pulls great, had no problems with the motor itself and all my gauges and stuff works on the cluster. Only thing is the car is really loud, it has an extreme tone to it. lol I'm sure i'll have some video and pictures when i actually bring it home.

Weedm · 10-02-2010, 08:11 PM

sweeet. save up some money to get a bigger turbo yes? T25 seems quite small for that size car.

Probably won't, like I said before this isn't a race car(yet) haha

IF I do anything, I'll sell my s14, cage this 300zx and throw my built ka-t into it.

Weedm · 10-03-2010, 02:28 PM

hmm. interested in seeing some videos if thats possible. inside pulls yada yada yada yada. you cool.

JZ33 · 10-03-2010, 06:21 PM

cant wait to see finished product and vids!

Future_gohan · 10-04-2010, 12:26 PM

Okay, got it home! it's so awesome, though it doesn't like the rain. haha

The front wheels are bald, and arn't balanced, so i couldn't do over 55 but whatevs, that's the only problem i had.

Future_gohan · 10-11-2010, 07:57 PM

The car is running great, suspension is great, feels just like my 240. haha

The car is quick too, its so much faster than my na vg, or atleast feels like it. it gets up and goes quicker.

The clutch is slipping, so this past event was horrible. But i'm still driving it, i just can't punch it(which sucks btw!) I'm going to replace it this winter, because my rear main seal likes aswell. But for now i'm working on getting all my interior situated (its mostly missing) and getting my wheels painted this weekend, you'll have to wait to see the color though

Sergio180sx · 10-11-2010, 08:29 PM

eh not a fan of ka's especially in a heavy ass z32 but good luck with the build

97240TB · 10-11-2010, 09:09 PM

This is pretty rad, I'd like to see you build the block and upgrade your turbo and make 400 comfortably I'm sure it would feel loads better. Have fun with it and enjoy it! =]

I'd like that too, but as my daily I like how it feels, it honestly has enough power for me, once i replace all the gaskets and put a new clutch in it i'm going to turn up the boost to a nice 11 or 12 psi, right now on stock.

But I can't put much money into this at the moment i'm building my vg30dett for my s14 haha

s14unimog · 10-15-2010, 07:48 PM

Corbic · 10-18-2010, 04:21 PM

Looks great, keep up the work.

Walperstyle · 10-18-2010, 04:37 PM

A few years back I came across a SR and v8 TT 300zx. Nothing is new anymore.

Just as long as you are having fun and realize you won't get the cash you put into it lol. Cheers!

haha, i have about 400.00 into it including buying the car, because i had every part for this thing already.

Maybe tomorrow i'll show some updates and a video of how it runs.

itwillboost · 10-24-2010, 08:31 PM

Dude nice build, I love the ka. My friend just traded his old truck for a 300, you should bring this to the Northeast Year End meet lol.

Well, i'm normally all for that, but when i got this swap i was told it had an aftermarket clutch in it, and they swore it was, but then after I've been driving it the clutch is now slipping whenever i hit boost hard, so I'd rather not test it till next year.

But i'm bringing this car hard 2011, fresh paint, new kicks, and a freshly rebuilt motor.

fyneyoungstunna · 10-24-2010, 09:49 PM

well i have it set to 10psi at the moment, but my tunes good for 13psi.

at 10 i'm probably looking around 230hp at the wheels possibly? Not sure, I just know its quick.

Future_gohan · 10-25-2010, 04:10 PM

The Drive side sits a tad higher than the passenger side, i need to fix that, but it rides great, I plan on getting a new paint job, and wider rims front and back(thinking 18x10 front 18x11 rear?)

I'll have pictures of the swap today hopefully, its raining nicely.

This is a big no no. I hate cars with ANY type of wing, i'm not a fan of the turbo wing never have.

Future_gohan · 10-25-2010, 06:44 PM

it's dirty, I daily it what do you expect. but it's there, I try to keep everything clean and up to date.

I have a lot of cleaning and fixing to do this winter on this car, to make it EXTREMELY Proper.

Paint, reroute the exhaust so i can lower the car a tad, more aggressive wheels. and gaskets and a new clutch on the ka-t. Then we'll be set for awile!!

go hard 2011.
