So I was feeling nostalic, plus it was 50 degrees in miami for the first time all year. Took it out to have some fun, then on the last run, well watch. Its been a fun ride....

Maybe ill go back to SR... NOT!

SicBastard · 02-20-2015, 11:06 AM

Were you still running only 8psi, or did you ever up it to 14?

Was that rod knock at the end?

Sad day...

2muchboost · 02-20-2015, 11:33 AM

@GS....jeez dude that puppy moves! BTW I was the one that bought your Tick T56, thanks again.

simmode1 · 02-20-2015, 11:43 AM

Well, it was fun while it lasted, I'm sure. This car was a treasure trove of of info for the S-Chassis community. I'm crossing my fingers for a part 3 that's even bigger and better! That Porsche manifold retrofit was a gamechanger to me, honestly. Bravo, sir.

ka-titties · 02-20-2015, 11:57 AM

awwwwwwwww man. you gonna come back bigger and better?

ferrariowner123 · 02-20-2015, 12:09 PM

Stay VH! Please! Sorry to see it go!

4-20sx · 02-20-2015, 12:30 PM

turbo2nr · 02-20-2015, 12:36 PM

Yes sir, i think a few of those 7500 rpm downshifts didnt do me any favor, but it aint no worse than the other abuse the car has taken.

I dont know if i have the energy for this stuff anymore. I want to just sell all this stuff and my Lexus and buy a porsche gt2 slam it with some deep dish work meisters lol. Or maybe go LS on the s14, Or maybe finally throw the built motor with the built heads and cams sitting on the engine stand.

Dont know yet.

simmode1 · 02-20-2015, 02:05 PM

^^^ Well damn. As much as I wanna see your vh s14 rise again, I can't argue with buying something you can be happy with right out of the box without needing an engine swap.

I just feel like I'd miss being part of such a passionate diy community of car enthusiasts if I did that. Tough decision.

ferrariowner123 · 02-20-2015, 02:52 PM

Agreed. But like many others, your build has inspired me to go VH and I can't even begin to think how you would do it over again!

Post up what you decide to do.

-Kyle

2muchboost · 02-20-2015, 02:56 PM

Do I foresee an RWB building in the making? Yeah anything you do will be gold so keep us posted.

future · 02-20-2015, 03:17 PM

Did you have the built heads on the engine already?

simmode1 · 02-20-2015, 05:59 PM

I was just thinking.. Porsche GT2 is a super nice car. Personally, I don't know if I could bring myself to beat on one like a rented mule. But 240's? Slap 'em around & they just keep coming back for more abuse. The fact that they're almost disposable is part of their charm. That's what keeps me from going to a nicer/newer & more expensive toy car. C'mon man... Fix that VH!

gsracer · 02-20-2015, 09:17 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys...

Ill leave this here..
I spy.
A fully built short block blue printed and balanced for 8000rpm. With arp rod bolts and clevite connecting rod and main bearings. Also in boxes are a pair of new heads with custom 272 cams double valve springs and titanium retainers.

Lol. Really on the fence about it though.

future · 02-20-2015, 10:00 PM

Do it

postooshort

simmode1 · 02-20-2015, 11:11 PM

Goddamn. What a manly looking engine bay that is.

onehundredoctane · 02-21-2015, 06:04 AM

Keep it up man, car is so bad ass!

1wheelwonder · 02-21-2015, 08:34 AM

What psi were you running in that video, car was getting it!!

gsracer · 02-21-2015, 09:56 AM

8 psi.....

ferrariowner123 · 02-21-2015, 10:10 AM

Do it jerry! Come on, the Internet is behind you on this one. That rarely happens! Lol.

I forgot to say in my other post, that besides being the reason I want to go VH, your build is amazing. One of the best completed builds out there. So I say thank you for taking the time to actually photograph your builds (the zenki and this kouki) both were awesome to read through and to be inspired by!

-Kyle

*kingkilburn* · 02-21-2015, 12:30 PM

That block and built heads have waited a long time for this. I think it's time to really show people what a VH can do!

This car has always been tied for my favorite S chassis with Broadfield's car being the other.

Salvarath · 02-24-2015, 02:36 PM

Come on Jerry, how could you let a gem like this die in a pile of shit that is the Florida "drift" "scene". You have an iconic ride and its ready for those parts you've been storing away for all these years. How long have those cams been sitting on a shelf for?? lol

I couldn't agree more with all of this.

simmode1 · 02-24-2015, 05:03 PM

Hey, can anyone explain to me why we don't see any VH45's running the 350Z's 6spd CD009 trans?

*kingkilburn* · 02-24-2015, 09:06 PM

No one has done the work to mate them together or shared the information if they have.

killer240 · 02-26-2015, 04:32 AM

Vh to cd009 has been done with either that ^^ bracket or some people fab their own. I think the reason for not a lot of people go with Cd009 is because 300zx trans is so much cheaper and they are good enough.
