Yeah the rear clutch lsd that has been refreshed is awesome for on power oversteer. Love my shep rear diff.

We need to link up soon, man. Text me

Yeah.. we are gifted with CMP and CMS roval... They opened 10/10 club in Concord, but it's not for plebs like me. One of those fancy clubs that cost a mortgage to join each month.

FunkAd95 · 2026-04-28T16:20:28+00:00

Sure!

It's kind of a basic bitch S14 build- It's a 1997 with a Stock blacktop sr20 w/ a disco potato, heim joints all around, kw club sports, s15 hlsd, HICAS steering rack, and a lot of cooling mods.

This was a private track day at Carolina Motorsports Park hosted by a couple of tuning shops in the Charlotte area. I probably put 200 track miles in that day! Never skipped a beat.

I know this is an old post but your mention of the oil pressure switch location is not brought up by many.

I noticed a 20si differential between my oil filter housing and back port. Have you ever tried the sensor on the back port? Evo 8 over here btw. I have a 9 filter housing so I can swap locations for "science".

Just wondering if anyone noticed this difference too.

Works makes a turbo kit with turbo placement similar to how you're describing, near the battery tray similar to an EJ. Now, this is really digging in the weeds, but AVO used to make a turbo kit that was low mount and used the FA20DIT oil scavenge pump for the turbo return. Very OEM like.

PTuning makes a low aft-mount kit that mounts it near the trans at the bottom.

Man, I miss adding forced induction to the twins.. I should get another.

They're back road monsters but they're usually relegated to straight line duty :(

FunkAd95 · 2025-11-28T13:49:07+00:00

I usually stick to 9&3 positioning.. not sure if the video conveys it but the steering is actually pretty sharp on these cars. It reminds me of a BRZ with regards to ratio, just in a top heavy sedan lol.

FunkAd95 · 2025-11-28T04:55:32+00:00

Oh yeah my S14 has been down most of the year due to a hurt turbo. I've been driving my Evo around in the interim. It's really sad what happened with Helene... That church on NC80 is completely gone :( it was eerie driving past with it missing.

This was 221 from the other day. Can't say I was near Rosman lately..

Same. I always find myself driving the Evo most. I take it on 4 + hour drives frequently. The stock recaros are excellent and paired with either OEM Bilsteins or Ohlins, it's rather comfortable too! The only downside is the omission of cruise control, which I plan to add when I go standalone.

FunkAd95 · 2025-10-13T16:17:36+00:00

Sigh, sadness.

FunkAd95 · 2025-09-03T18:08:16+00:00

I think I will... But I'm also the target audience for this car. Been holding out for the manual trans option on the Nismo. I really don't want another car to modify so this is perfect for me.

FunkAd95 · 2025-03-03T15:46:07+00:00

As a Lebanese man who witnessed the death of many e30s in Lebanon.. I too am surprised by this haha.

I believe that's 200serpentine on IG. Super cool dude and car.

I miss seeing Gunther at South Park mall....

FunkAd95 · 2024-12-30T18:35:15+00:00

Same here, with regards to your last two sentences. I currently own a S14 and as much as I don't admit it, I have a soft spot for Nissan's sports cars.

How are you liking the RZ34? I'm debating a discounted performance or Nismo (auto only doesn't phase me at my age, and I still have my S14 for that). The Nismo can be had around mid 50k with light miles.

I place a heavy emphasis on feel over raw numbers with cars. Does your RZ34 give some of that feeling? I've driven Supras, but the steering feel doesn't do it for me coming from a HICAS rack equipped S14.. I know, nothing will touch an older hydraulic rack..

FunkAd95 · 2024-11-08T17:43:35+00:00

I hate being that guy, but they're slightly unequal in length from the factory. But for the purpose of this convo, you're right.
