S14b23 no more, now S50us.

How it looked when I parked it.




And then in June 2014 the car stopped running. I was on my way to work, stopped to pick up lunch. Came back to start the car, and it voila, no spark. Hooray.

I waited three hours for a tow truck to show up, but luckily there was a bar across the street. Lack of pics from this point till now, as I haven't really done anything with the car.


7/2015
Tossed a rebuilt DME in the car (was not triggering the ground for the IGN Coil), fired right up. Drove it home, but then the car sat again this season while I was out driving my s13. Listed the s14b23 driveline for sale. Sold the ESM OZ reps to my brother.





9/15

Sold the s14b23 driveline to a user on here, full turn key swap including the recent cooling system. Car is meant to be my daily, and I figured a 24v swap would be nice and stress free. I was overly paranoid that I'd blow up the s14b23 that I could never really just enjoy the car.

My business partner acquired an e36 M, Daytona Voilet over Grey. Car had a the original (US) S50b30 in it, and he said I could have the driveline since he intends to swap the car. There was a catch, however. The cyl head was off the bottom end for the better part of 9 years. Engine condition unknown. Still had coolant in the jackets and oil in the pan. I have pics somewhere, showing the patina and how far disassembled the car was.

Blast from the past! January of 2014 I retrofitted the e30 M3 cooling system into the car. had to fab and weld in the tabs for the coolant tank, as well as the stays for the lower rad support. Used all new stuff, and even did some maintenance (water pump, thermostat, temp sensor, etc). Also had to move the battery to the trunk. Fixed some rust back there while we were at it.

It all takes time and as long as its reliable, its better than most. Thanks again dude! Tell J to hurry up and get one, I'm getting the itch to build something.

Ok so Black Friday happened..

Ordered 205/45/16 Falken Ziex-912 to wrap 16x8, et 20 wheels.

Ordered up a PS return line, new banjo bolt and crush washers. Mine decided to start spraying shit everywhere.

Trans started to develop a nasty leak, Doesnt seem to be coming out of the output shaft seal area though.. I'm thinking there's a bolt or plug missing from the rear of the trans. Going to replace the selector rod seal and output shaft seals for good measure.
