My marmite s14a youl love it or hate it haha


so i bought this car back in june , soon as i seen it i got in the car and went and got it , i told none of my friends cos it was very strong money for a non turbo. Id had one before and knew they were reliable.

this is what it looked like the day i picked it up

after a couple of drift days i got brave and went for a flick i was never going to pull off and ended up making shit of the bumper.

i got a rough bumper for the time being but then i set about making the car my own . it looked like any other silvia and just wasnt for me. My first purchase was new coilovers , then some rota alicieas , spacers , jap plates and oem bumpers. My controversial choice for no skirts raises allot of eyebrows but i just like it without them f*ck the haters :D Got a load of bits fixed and a full buff and polish and this is how it turned out for japfest and im fucking delighted . still have allot to change on the car but loving my girly sbody <3

plans are to source a 4:9 ratio diff and weld that up cos an aussie dude contacted me and said they are great for drifting with an n/a engine. bride seat, dmax spoiler and few other bits and pieces . and while im makin a wishlist a respray in black but that wont happen any time soon :D

and for the donut haters

When I first seen it at Japfest I was a bit iffy - I think the Jap bumpers and no skirts, with the spoiler and in white is actually perfect for a kouki, but I wasn't sold on the wheels. But after seeing it again I think it actually looks class, real simple but definitely different. I actually wouldn't change a think on the exterior. There were some class cars on the Sakura Squad stand. The KP was one of my favs of the show.

real cherry blossoms are my dream wheels,
when these came up for sale knowing they were rotas i still was determined to make them work on the car. cambered and as low as the car will go helps them but i agree i wish they were 16inch but they dont exist . love them or hate them im finding it far easier to drift on the tiny wheels without the trouble of a turbo engine :D


also thank you for your kind comment on sakura squad , im on a mission to gain us ladys some respect in the car world freshfix and good luggage will be doing a feature on us so hopefully more ladys will come out of the woodwork and join us for the next event :D

You have done a brilliant job there. I actually really like it them wheels look ace and suit the fact there is no skirts. Keep it white :) im running an n/a aswell but this might change when i take it out to paint the bay. Keep up the good work looking forward to seeing the freshpix feature

Eeekkk so glad you said that ... that was my aim. After visiting japan I realised what irish people think is jdm is really not jdm at all .... lol


Also thanks for the sakura squad support its something id wanted to do for a long tine we came up with sakura slide squad years ago lol but it kinda just fell into place for japfest :-)

Fair play for going your own way and not following the herd.

At first i wasnt sure but the look of it has grown on me. It looks like twice the car it was so well done.

Would like to see it in person, it has a lot more character the way it is now!

Reliable ain't the word! Have my spec s 3 years and all that's gone on it is the starter motor!

i really want a n/a zenki s14. I don't usually like kouki's but this is savage! N/a sr's seem to be savage reliable kind of a no brainer to buy one and congrats on getting another one! Whats the car like on the small wheels? bet it's really easy on the car.
This vid also makes me want a n/a sr powered silvia. Looks like he's driving a cam with an s15 dash :p

Love my n/a aswell but pressure is making me go turbo though this might change. Video above is an autech which is 200 brake with 6 speed box. would love quad throttle bodies but they are shocking price. Love the picture of your car moving nikki. Saw one of these for 900 gbp over in england
