Hi all, I have recently bought a 300zx after an extensive search for an s14 for cheap failed badly, I currently own a bmw 325 which I use for drifting but it's not powerful enough for me anymore hence looking for the common s14, but when this popped up for sale is just had to have it!!

 

I have spoken to someone from this forum about the car and apparently he knows quite a bit about the car as it's been on this site before, the plate is g232 fbl, it's a yellow fairlady.

 

I bought with the strong intention to drift it as the power output is more than what I need, but after speaking to different people and looking into it further, apparently they are very difficult and very costly to become reliable drift cars, any input on this matter would be very helpful

Hello & welcome.

 

They make very fine drift cars :)

Do they take a lot of modding to make reliable?? I have been told they are know for blowing engine, overheating etc. was told I'm going to need updated fans, baffled sump and other mods

Welcome Thomas :thumbup1:

There's a member from Boro here who is stripping down an NA car to turn into a drift car.

I think he's hoping to have it at the autodrome next month.

 

Like any car they are reliable if they are looked after.

Did you get a TT or NA?

 

The fan is a viscous coupling fan and will do the job fine if it is in good order.

 

Start with a full service, probably do the cambelt and water pump etc (unless you have history of it being done recently). Take it to the autodrome, see how you get on with it, then go from there.

Thanks for the input lexx, it a tt yeah they are first in y list when I get it on the road, I was speaking to the lad who has stripped his na and he was the one who told me they are expensive to mod to make in to drift cars requires a baffled sump etc

 

And thanks Gary!!
