Picked Up Another Project (RB S14)
Long Time Since Ive Been Around.
Anyways, Here is my RB S14. The guy before me drifted it pretty hard :/. and left me to clean it up. Which is 100% cool with me because i got it for a decent deal. It is pretty sketchy in the engine bay, Needs a lot of body work, and just needs some tlc. Im going to paint it flat white with black wheels, and im cleaning it up overall more and more everyday.

It's running good. But I have to finish the exhaust from the downpipe. And the rear differential bushings were out. But I replaced them already. And yeah. Those rims ARE getting switched/painted

Re: Picked Up Another Project (RB S14)

Re: Picked Up Another Project (RB S14)
I don't know if they did Awd rb25's, they were in most gts-t's, but believe in the r34, they started using the rb26 neo for rwd applications. Even 1989 R32's came with the rb26dett.

Looks like a fun project, how is driving a car with 2 more cylinders hanging off the front? I've always heard rb swaps make steering a little goofy, if the motor is not as far back in the car as possible. I'll be looking for an s13 coupe over this winter myself

Re: Picked Up Another Project (RB S14)
yeah the r34 did use the neo rb 26. but they made it work fot the 25. i donno ill have to dig for some numbers or codes on the transmission to be sure. but yeah a rwd project is fun in its own way from awd projects . and yeah i got the parts powder coated at all pro. a little spendy. but worth it considereing those parts are gonna the most banged up on. and i like it 100% more now with that/those colors. and i kind of like that front end.... after looking at prices to convert it to a kouki front end

FWIW, there a ton of good vinyl wraps available which could save mega time and money versus painting, especially if you're going to do a flat finish.
