OG Nissan S14 guy venturing into VIP realm.
Just a quick introduction, I've been an OG in the 240SX world. Been playing with my S14 since '97.
Circa '98:
Circa '01:
Circa '03:
Circa '04:
Circa '06:
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I went to China to find work from '06 till '09 so my S14 has been sitting like that since.
Circa '09:
Came back in '09, and brought with me a family, so I needed a family vehicle so I got this:
'94 G50. 89,xxx miles, 2 owner (last owner only had it for a year). Threw on my Nismo LM-GT2. Circa '09:
Then this morning, after wanting something newer and with less maintenance headaches, picked up this little fellow.
With willow interior.
With the new addition, the S14 and Y34 gets the garage, and the G50 now gets to sit on the driveway.
So, along with my '97 S14, and now this '04 Y34, I now owned two fairly rare (under 1,800 units in US for both the S14 and Y34) Nissans.
'04 Y34 with 87,200 miles, 1 owner.

Both the G50 and the Y34 got potential. What are your plans? You gonna build both? Being a nissan "OG" Im guessing you got stuff laying around that might fit. Curious what kind of probs you had with the G50, I got the same year. Well, welcome to VSC!!

Nothing crazy planned. The G50's riding on my good set of wheels, my so called fake rotas, Desmond Regamaster, giving it a muscle sedan look at the moment.
The issue is typical of old age. Dry rotted fuel lines down in the vee of the engine, requiring removal of intake manifold and couple of the runners just to R&R the fuel lines so that the fuel hoses can be replaced. While in there, discovered one of the radiator hoses had a pin hole leak that was causing other sorts of issues.
Then there's the crapped out bearing on the A/C fan motor. Still haven't pulled the front of the car apart to repair that.
Before that was a short in the driver seat control unit, causing a slow electrical leak. Plus the weakened shocks that needed replacing.
Most of the stuff that I can move about are brake stuff. But most of my focus is still on getting the S14 back to my original intention, the G50 will end up on the for sale block soon, and the Y34 would be more setup for sports sedan, albeit with a good set of sideskirts and front and rear lip if I could find a decent set for a not so insane price. Also keeping an eye on the PBM coilover system.
