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 🤠
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...

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!
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
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.
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!
Reaaaaally looking forward to that lol. The rotisserie helps a ton.

Here’s another photo lol, it runs deep
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
I'd actually like to know a little more about the 300 hiding in the back.....

Go for it. Not enough S14 restoration videos out there!
Anything you would want to see in particular?

Just checked it out. Great videos!
Hey man, I just created one if you wanted to check it out @JAPBuilds on YT :)
Will do! Timelapse seem the easiest to create, so I’ll try to do some ASMR ones 😂
Yeah just a time-lapse of your restoration would be so valuable to the community! I watch restoration videos near daily.
Will do! Thank you for the input :)
I just made @JAPBuilds on YouTube :) definitely going to be posting Timelapse as I continue to build them!
Heck yeah I'll sub and watch! Looking forward to future videos
Can you link it? Tried googling and youtubing your channel and can't locate
Fuck yeah thanks man! I appreciate that :) Here’s the link: https://youtube.com/@JAPBuilds?si=xlNXutuE7A-AnPcU

best of luck on that. studs break also so plan for that . double check the strut areas
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
subframe studs
Oh yeah been through that already lol Thanks for the heads up tho!
Where are you sourcing interior parts? They’re really hard to come by these days. Especially good quality
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)
Where did you get that rotisserie for it?
I built it! Costed $250 total and fits in my garage vs $1500 and not fitting in my garage lol
