not bad, is that an extra brake light by the muffler? also digging the enkei wheels. i almost thought that the nissan had the limited edition nismo/rays wheels, but then on the close up shot saw they were rotas, but they still look good on that car.

Its a fog light, legal requirement.

He just got the Rota GTRs last week. The perfect wheel for Nissans, other then the Nismo set if you can get your hands on them.

ahhh, i see. kinda like how the mercedes has the rear fog incorporated into the tail lights. your car looks pretty clean. what kind of muffler is that?

With a bit of loom modification, you can move the fog into the reversing light area in the offside cluster with a red LED bulb.

Nice pair of motors by the way

>

thats what my car has had done, a new switch on dash for the rear fog which is now in one of the reverse lights. and passed the mot test with it too

>
Pretty much all European cars have it in the tail light but not JDM. It was a requirement in England were i bought the car but i dont even need it in Ireland.

damn good looking...

Loud, thats how it sounds ha . A bit much on the roads, especially with the kakimoto decat but on a track she would sing. With the silencer removed its ridiculously load, the muffler is completely empty, no baffles or material. Its like a gaint can of coke

nice pics

Yes R

Tony from monaghan/donegal here. Was that BEAMS on pistonheads a while ago??

Looks sweet by the way

Engine shots of both cars or ban.

Beautiful SS-III!

im guessin your buddy with the s14 goes sideways every so often?? not too often you see guys running diff coolers on street cars.

But nice cars.

Also assuming it has an SR20 under the hood, hence the 200SX badge on the 240

>
SR20DET running at 1.0 bar

It was. I went over and bought it.

The diff oil cooler came standard on UKDM versions. But yes it goes sideways very easy as they came standard with a L.S.D as well. The standard diff isnt great but it does the job, especially in the wet.

I knew it looked familiar!!

Me and the brother were looking at it and he was thinking of buying it.

How are you finding the beams engine?

>
I'd prefer if it revved higher. It limits at 7k. My old Levin limited at 8k as does the blacktop beams.

i find the gears are a bit long but i might just be too use to six speed.

Other then that it doesnt burn a drop of oil and is pretty bullet proof.

Also i'd prefer if the power was lower as its right up at the limit and with the long gears its hard to be on the power all the time.

man i loved having a 8k limt and 6 gears to play with.

This was my Levin:

Well I can easily source you a nice 5S if you want power down low my friend - we'll trade even swap ok [J/p obviously]
Damn! that Levin was nice too. What happened to her?

>
I sold the Levin to move up the insurance ladder (from 1.6 to 2.0). Next will be 2.0 Turbo. lots of different 2ltr Turbos to choose from. I dont think i'll ever go past 2ltr. Always trying to move to bigger and better things. insurance is a joke in Ireland.

Nice - what'd it put down?
I'm glad insurance doesn't go by displacement here - my friend would be in trouble with his 6.0l.

>
if i told my insurance company that i wanted to insure a 6ltr they'd just hang up the phone

Toyota say they're 165bhp standard but thats a well none exaggeration. plus they're ment to be run on japanese 100 octane.
on Irish 95 octane they're only about 145-150bhp standard. Mine made 158.5bhp and 127ftlbs

>
comes with a viscous diff, if im not mistaken (their only good for 100,000km)
and the diff cooler is justfins (air cooling)
what kind of boost & boost control is he using?
we're just installing the new HKS EVC v5 in my brothers KS S14

>
Viscous are fine for a few minutes but once the oil heats up and the pressure drops they perform just like an open diff.
I know they're air cooled but what i was saying is the air cools the oil.

He is running at 1.0bar with a simple bleed valve for the time being
