Project S14.5 Spec R, Part II VE-T In the Making Page 26!!!

[TriniGT]

Got some better pics with my camera. I ain't no photographer. Only thing I am not pleased with is that the guys even though I told them not to fit the fenders shields did so without my knowing or my clips and used self thread screws and ran it through the apron and it now shows on the inside in the engine bay. I will have to remove the wheels in the front and remove the screws and red oxide the areas and repaint black and fit the shield with my clips. It's the little things that matter.

[TriniGT]

You can see the driver side bonnet to light to fender to bumper fitment is not the best. I am going to try and close that gap for sure as I am not pleased with that.

hey man it does really look sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeettt!!!

oh and btw Gerrad aka w2j on the forum should have the number plate holder, you should give him a call!

[dok_tec]

those gtr wheels really took well to the body... i was a bit speculative but seeing that pics always do injustice to dimensions i gotta admit it looks slamming in these pics.
so ummmm when is the public viewing

[TriniGT]

Thanks turbo_boy411, I will call Gerard and see what he says. Once I have that in possession and mount the plates and ge tthe engine and colour change sorted as well I will sort the insurance and inspection same time. As for public viewing, once the above is sorted she will be on the road. Honestly, I am broken right now so insurance will be sorted by month-end .

[Death-Row]

im speechless, seriously, you stuck with it. got it done and doing it right. congrats hoss.

14.5 >> GTT

[TriniGT]

When I watch the two of them parked side by side you can just see the difference in effort. Only when I know what is happening with the GTT then can I make a decision, I have everything here for the effort to be made on the GTT just need to decide what is staying and what is going.

14.5 >> GTT

14.5 >> GTT

HELL NO!

A GT-R = HELL NO! A GTT ain't nothing to slouch at in any case eh. I just like the 14.5. It's sweet. I guess seeing where it came from kinda make you appreciate it more.

The GTT with a GTR kit as someone mentioned = Yes

[speedaholic]

very nice build man... i kno u from comin by stonewall... i'm his neighbour with the black L200... car looks gud..

I understand fully where you come from. Anyone would have to acknowledge the effort put into the S14.5.

Any idea who you're carrying it by to re-do the moulding around the windscreen?

[TriniGT]

Well I bought the molding new from Nissan Japan, came in last week so once the car has had the engine and colour change and I somehow find money for the insurance I will take her to either Double Zee or Bobby's and have them strip and remove the front windscreen and then have them prep and fit the new molding and reapply it to the car and I should be good to go. After that then I can fit the cowl panel and the wipers and then the car will be pretty much complete. I have had a couple of PM's as to whether I am interested in selling, my thought is if someone is interested in it for a good price it can be sold, I have invested a lot into this project over the five years and I am not about to give it away knowing what I have. People can say it is only and S14 but I know what was involved in the transformation and I won't attempt this again on such an expensive vehicle.

Thing is I need to free up cash as I have another car that I am trying to fix as my new daily so I really don't need to have two weekend runners although I would prefer to keep them both. I love my Silvia and at the same time although it may not seem so I love my GTT, the GTT gets a lot of thrashing as it is a daily but if by end of month it does not sell more than likely I will be keeping her and doing the GTR exterior and interior conversion. Murple sounds nice but I may keep it simple with white on white combo as I have soem TE37's that need some love looking at me constantly.

[moti]

you are my hero

[Morpheus]

Hey TriniGT just a couple days ago I saw PBN 1349....that correct right?

It turn off the highway by SAGHS.

[TriniGT]

Yuh have meh blushing, thanks for the comments. Still thinking which of the two to keep, on one hand the Silvia is almost done and on the other hand I have a shitload of RB26 and GTR interior and exterior parts home collecting dust that more than likely I will get stuck with so wondering if after it all sell the Silvia and fix up the GTT and use all the RB parts and GTR parts same time. I will ultimately have to sell one as they are just not daily material although I thought the Silvia would be, the ride height is not acceptable for the roads I drive and clients I have to meet are everywhere plus the entrance/exit at work is not forgiving for my skyline so worse yet for the Silvia. Time will tell I guess as there are a couple of people interested in the GTT but by month end we will see who really is.

[cinco]

man for what u put into this s14.5
fack dat GTT you will never be happy how the next owner treats that silvia

[TriniGT]

Yeah from time to time I see steven driving it, still looks in half decent shape. Engine has since been swapped for a SR18 , but what can yuh do.

[TriniGT]

man for what u put into this s14.5

Understood just like my Spec R S15. But although hard to say if the buyer spending the money who am I to care, easier said than done. The next thing is what gonna happen to all the RB and GTR parts I have stacked at home. Getting buyers are few and far between and selling piece piece I will never see the money, at least if I build the car I can see the value somewhat. Only other option is to keep both and sell the daily I have at home fixing but then I will be stuck with two weekend cars and no dailies, oh what a predicament.

[Conrad]

Strip the suspension out of the S14.5 and sell it. R34 FTW!

[TriniGT]

Haha not even sure what kind of price I want for the car if I were to think about selling it. I am not going to give it away that's for sure and with the money spent it will be somewhere in the S15 price range no doubt as S14 koukis are going for over $100,000 now and then there is the full suspension and bodykit and whatnot. Argggg I don't wanna think about it now dammit.

[turbo_boy411]

man you between a rock and a hard place...

as tuners all we think of is wanting the absolute best for our cars, at the end when we're done and ready to move on to the next challenge, no one values it more than us... it's true you might not get back all you've invested, but damn yo, at least you got to see the fruit of your labour/time/money...

not many of us can say we stuck it through till the very end!

whatever yuh decide we dun know it comin out BEST!!!

[Bezman]

sell the gtt, keep the silvia, put the gtr engine in the silvia, sell me (or some lucky bugger) the s15 engine..

do i hear a AWD S14.5 GTR?
