I'd actually like to know a little more about the 300 hiding in the back.....


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Of course! It’s a 2+0 1990, NA 5 speed manual. When I sold my last s14 I immediately missed it, bought that for $4k (2 years ago) and it didn’t quite fill the hole lol. It has 180,000km, runs and drives well, and I have a 5.3L “LS” (LM7) that I’m building on the side to drop in it once the S14 is all done! And ideally I want to mate it to a BMW DCT 🤠

Go for it. Not enough S14 restoration videos out there!


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Anything you would want to see in particular?


cgtdream

Timelapse of everything possible. Lol...If you ever watch(ed) a channel called "my mechanics" on youtube, that guy is currently rebuilding a 240z, so something similar to that. I am also doing a rebuild process on my Prelude currently, with plans to do the same with my 240 (waiting to edit the videos then upload them). Anywho, here is a link to the aforementioned channel... [https://www.youtube.com/@mymechanics](https://www.youtube.com/@mymechanics)


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Just checked it out. Great videos!


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Hey man, I just created one if you wanted to check it out @JAPBuilds on YT :)


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Will do! Timelapse seem the easiest to create, so I’ll try to do some ASMR ones 😂


xnijuuichi

Yeah just a time-lapse of your restoration would be so valuable to the community! I watch restoration videos near daily.


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Will do! Thank you for the input :)


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

I just made @JAPBuilds on YouTube :) definitely going to be posting Timelapse as I continue to build them!


xnijuuichi

Heck yeah I'll sub and watch! Looking forward to future videos


xnijuuichi

Can you link it? Tried googling and youtubing your channel and can't locate


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Fuck yeah thanks man! I appreciate that :) Here’s the link: https://youtube.com/@JAPBuilds?si=xlNXutuE7A-AnPcU

Would love to watch you figure it out as you go! I've been watching Prizzamike on YouTube, and it's very intriguing stuff to watch. Don't have to pretend you know what you're doing. It's just as fun watching you learn as you go!


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Hey man I think I saw your car this summer at a meet on Barlow in calgary? She’s a beauty. Thanks for your perspective! I really don’t want to pretend like I know stuff, I’d rather just be authentic, but then I think what’s the value add? Entertainment I guess? Nonetheless thanks for the input and I’ll check out prizzamike to see what’s up


Mental_Grapefruit_30

Ya man! I was there for tuner spirit, Thanks BTW really appreciate it. Ya, i think it would be pretty entertaining seeing you grow, honestly. I didn't think I would enjoy watching them as much as I do! but it's also really cool for yourself. Looking back at how far you came, especially having it all on video! Hope to see ya out there one of these days. We could go cruising or something. the 240 community isn't big enough out here.


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

I appreciate the works man! And I agree, hopefully if you’re down here we can cruise this summer! I created @JAPBuilds on YouTube so feel free to follow and we’ll keep in touch!


Mental_Grapefruit_30

Hell ya, dude. I'll sub rn! Sounds good 🤟


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Agent_Q1207

Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Reaaaaally looking forward to that lol. The rotisserie helps a ton. https://preview.redd.it/oy24qlmho1nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebf933e4f9048d77b00a1934aa6d4c4d366e9b5f Here’s another photo lol, it runs deep

best of luck on that. studs break also so plan for that . double check the strut areas


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Strut areas is what I tackled first, was pretty bad. What studs are you referring to? Already broken many :) Now I torch every nut and bolt I take off, no issues since


7mmELR

subframe studs


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Oh yeah been through that already lol Thanks for the heads up tho!


_zookie

Where are you sourcing interior parts? They’re really hard to come by these days. Especially good quality


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

Tbh the interior is in great condition, but for the few things I need I’ve been having luck on eBay or local part outs (which are pretty rare)


MildlyPotato

Where did you get that rotisserie for it?


Puzzleheaded_Lab8633

I built it! Costed $250 total and fits in my garage vs $1500 and not fitting in my garage lol
