Yes meister r's the ride was surprisingly good not back breaking!
Thats my cousins s14, our evening/weekend projects :).

Will have a look at AEM. See what they do, lots of them look around the 300-400 mark which is a fair bit for an induction kit!

Yeah that's crazy money. You could consider a BMC CDA. They're about £150, but do some custom tubing.

Nice. Although not a fan of those wheels on that car, personally.

Another question guys, want to get the 5th gear crunch problem sorted soon. Now i've heard its usually a syncro? Do you know if any gearbox parts are interchangeable or if its all different?

@wurlycorner that's nuts, I love the wheels on this car. I have the originals too so may refurbish those and have a look. What wheels would you suggest?

Before you get too involved have you tried simply using this?...

This has been known to eradicate a lot of 5th gear crunches in the past. I've sorted 2 gearboxes out just by using this in the past. Obviously if it's too far gone then sure, it won't cut it, but you'll be surprised as to how bad a crunch it will remove :)

No I haven't tried it yet, it grinds every time I go into 5th in vtec. Worth a try though.
If it does come down to replacing the syncro any suggestions?

Additionally I also need left hand side door actuator/motor anyone know the cross compatability on these?
