At least the "240" in 240sx is still accurate with the k24 😅
Ka24 k24 close enough for me 👍
i see you have a big brain as well
they should name it the k240
And .... now you’re back! More of this.
Pete: "Watch this!"
Also Pete: Slides off the track
Wow a grip focused 240 that also looks good? Hell has frozen over
goals for my s13 currently lol
There is another K swap S14 that is focused on grip driving. The one I saw has a turbo, but isn't quite as clean because of stickers.
@@bigdfitness5020 also @reggiecmah on Instagram has a turbo k swap S15 that’s for the track too, he just finished it
Really like that car. Nice to see an s chassis doing something other than just drifting.
MrBobjacobson too bad if you want to road race it, still have to pay the drift tax.
@@chomin3025
I just want one to daily, and leave it as bone stock as possible.
@@Slow._.EJ8 that's what I did. I bought a s13. Gonna fix it up to daily. It has original motor and trans 175k miles.
@@asianboyyy117
Hatch or Coupe? And are you going to record the process? Id watch that all day. If i enlist in the Military, i planed on purchasing an imported Skyline and or an S13 coupe with a Ca18 preferably. Then daily it, maybe take it to the track every other weekend.
@@Slow._.EJ8 idk im not really a youtuber. also i dont have friends or resources rn to help me lol. i am trying to find a new job within the next couple months, i have to have wrist surgery so its holding me back a bit. i guess i could upload a video of it if you want. first thing im saving up for is rust repair rn. when i get my new job ill start uploading. ill upload a vid rn if u wanna hear it.
Could you do a little info sheet pop up on the track videos:
Power
Torque
Tyres and size
Weight
Would be cool to see like how they do on hot version and a reminder before you lap
Totally agree
Great idea
Awesome idea
Yes
Yes!!!
I would love to get some seat time on a track. You guys actually testing your vehicles is the ultimate finishing touches.
i think it was good you guys took a pause and regrouped a bit. already seeing the improvements in the vids. nice one
The way this car behaves is impressive.
I freaking love your channel the 2 of you guys do. I think it's a hark back to the Sport Compact Car magazine days of technical details, track and aggressive driving focused builds, interesting cars and great personalities. Always excited to see a new episode drop.
Do some mods/fixes/upgrades, show how those changes affect the car on track driving/lapping, I'm a happy guy. These are my favorite types of videos you guys do.
I had the exact same issue with the brake booster to master cylinder push rod. I had a real soft pedal and it wasn't very reactivate. After adjusting it totally transformed the car. It's a step that is easily overlooked, but one that is crucial.
I've been following you guys for 2+ years easily, since i saw the Celica project and my dad fell inlove with you channel.
I was waiting to see both of your happy faces all those smiles driving this project on the track and finally the whole community is able to do it.
This probably make my week a lot better.
Best regards from Chile!.
I felt how fun that car is through the video.
Great job guys! A Kouki S14 is my attainable dream car right now.
So glad to see more video’s of this car, keep them coming!
i had a chassis mounted shifter in my e36 rally car with rubber engine and trans mounts and when you tried to shift in a corner the shifter would go out of alignment with the gearbox and miss gears, so i went to a z3 shifter which is short but mounted completely to the gearbox to solve that issue
Sounds like the 90s Honda shifters - metal linkages suspended from the chassis by a rubber bushing so it moves around with the gearbox as the transmission mounts flex. Never had trouble shifting mid corner with them.
Yea yea I know some of these words 🧐
I guess this is similar to my e60 5 series, renewing everything fresh helped a lot, but I have the e60 530/545 factory quite short shifter. Z3m/ a few others I understand to he shorter but can point the location out. Maybe good for LHD?
The cars looks (SOUNDS) super good out there. I mean, you may have literally fallen into the "super hero" zone with Fun/Performance/Maint. at this point with the car.
Love the upgrade on the helmet cam to a better go pro. It makes watching the track videos very enjoyable. It’s crazy how good the Honda K engines perform so consistently on the track. I had my doubts but it’s a great combo with that S chassis. Love your guys’ hustle ❤️
Actually really liking the new direction of the channel, keep up the great job!
great looking car, also that new outside camera angle inserted to track fottage is looking very good, great work guys !
Amazing video guys! so exciting! The car now behaves as good as it looks. It's so good to see you happy and achieving this goals. Keep it up, the best is yet to come.
I love seeing the cars more. The shots of the shifter prior to the drive. All of it!!!!
Buzzing out how the scenery in America can go from green, to desert , really love it, love your content dude! love from New Zealand!
Love hearing that engine roar along with how much fun Pete is having
Such a clean gorgeous car! I miss my ‘98!
Never let the Silvia go it’s one of your best cars. The shifter is all over the place lol
This channel has single-handedly made me a k24 fan
Please, please, please don't get rid of this car. It's been around forever, and is a signature car of the channel imo. I think you should hold on to it as a fun car to just hit the track for when you need a break from the other builds. Plus, I think it would be really cool to see it used for hot lapping as a replacement for the Miata (and maybe some mild updates along the way).
one of the few channels that mod & track more info on camber changes, spring changes, tyre pressure front & back. great stuff. i track a k24 ep3 which suffers from snap over steer bigger rubber 235x17 all around got rid of that.
Those rolling shots added in with the laps was mint.
Now THIS is what I subscribed for! I don't even like a K series lol. But I love the track and setup talk videos. Always trying to learn how to go faster. And how to make the car work better. I know it's hard to do in a place with winter but man it would be cool to see more content like this.
How does a person not like the K series? Sounds amazing exhaust ripping around the track as NA. K sounds as good as tuned B, and H cars. Honda is awesome
Man that is absolutely killer. We have a few K series projects on my channel we're building. Currently I'm about to start back working on the K24A2 AWD CRX Rally car, then this winter we're starting the 280Z K24 swap. Love the information you guys have given, definite trailblazers here!
I'm not surprised that you all are enjoying this car as an N/A platform. Congratulations and glad to see you've finished this. Now to see if this was sold or given away?
Brake booster/master tech = details that you guys cover and why I continue to appreciate what you do.
The "Pimp My Ride" coverage has its place, but I always enjoy the tech side that you guys built the channel on.
Peter , your car is a legend. Y'all are doing it right.
You Dashboard and Gauge Cluster is so clean and amazing it makes the car look fresh
Great video. I think this is what we all wanted. Take the project out and have some fun. We'll come along for the ride.
This was the best video since the Timeout!
You have a good Format here.
So great to see you guys on the track!
I love it! This combination is awesome! Love Honda engines. Nothing like hearing it sing to crazy redline as you rip it! Well done, gents!
The edit at 12:54 to include a shot from the camera car and fillingthe audio with hot lap sounds is so sweet. Keep it up!
your driving videos are my favorite. Especially when you both race
One of your better videos... keep it up lads.. supporting you all the way from 🇮🇪
Had and loved an S13 years and years ago before it was stolen off my driveway while moving, but getting the understeer out of the chassis was a massive effort. It really came together after corner balancing with spring rates, updating all the little bits and bushings, and the last piece (which I wish I had done much earlier) was a strut tower brace. Granted the nose was much heavier than this Honda-power rig as it still retained the US-spec iron block KA, but it was headed for 450whp on boost before some neighborhood kid totaled it into a Lexus as I later found out when the city called me about the impound fee that had, unbeknownst to me, racked up to 4x what the car was worth.
Anyway before you set sail to the old girl, you owe it to yourselves to get a strut brace and send it one more time.
Does anyone else want to see more track content with this car? I want it to get a fresh set of rubber, for the guys to mess with the set up a bit to see if they can beat their S2000 time around TMP. It’s a super grass roots style track car and I love that.
Hell, enter some time gridlife / time attack events too! Would be great to see you guys in full competition mode!
That was a total riot to watch, and I'm glad you guys are back!
Awesome to see the amount of fun you were having in this car!
Man those rolling shots are so good
Man, this thing carries some tremendous speed! Looks like an incredible driving experience!
You know whats wrong with that shifter, you guys raced a s2000. That shifter ruined all shifters 😆
Love this car though..she looks so good! Those action shots are sweet too! 😍
Man that in car track driving segment looked so damn fun! Gotta love the combination of a simple responsive n strong n/a motor in a somewhat lightweight well sorted rwd chassis! I like how this goes against the typical S14 builds seen over the last decade
So great seeing an S14 doing grip work around a track!!!
Excellent cliff hanger! Such a beautiful S, can't wait to see what happens to it next!
YESSS! One of the best videos I've seen in a while.
Yes! Nice job! I could listen to that car all day!
Such a great video and car. I would hate to see yall auction or sell this. From the sound of it Pete has had it forever.
So clean! Also I'm excited for when you turbo charge it! Or if its a give away, I would lose my mind!
This is Speed Academy people! This is it! Loved it.
That S14a looks sooo good! A supercharger on that k24 and thats a killer.
@speedacademy I have loved this build and while I'm sad to see it end, I am glad you have gotten it sorted to were it is a fun driving experience.
This! I want more video like this! well done :)
Looks awesome. Sounds even better!
Great car lads, can we see more of M3 on track! !! like to see them get used after the builds.
Mannnn you guys should of parked this one! It is to nice and complete! One of thr cleanest 240sx I have seen.
This was my favorite build. You gotta turbo it, the S14 needs those sweet turbo sounds.
This channel really deserves way more views and a huge following. Great job dudes! Can't wait to see what happens to this really neat car!
a return to form! love seeing the project cars get developed on-track
Rippin’ ‘tec like the good ole days! I love it.
🥺 this channel deserves more views than they’re getting right now
You made me want to own of these cars and k24 swap it
Great stuff guys, it's really nice having the exterior views on track.
This is that car that made me a subscriber to your channel.
Such a freakin exciting episode fellas. Congrats on the PB!!! Just finished a track day a few days ago so this is reigniting the buzz!!! Big fan of this build and what you guys have done! Until the next one!
Glad to see you having so much fun PT!
I watched this build from the get go. I didnt think id like it "should gone with an rb or sr" but man that k does scream in there and you cant argue with the numbers.
Great vid guys! I really enjoyed the time on track.
That s14 kouki nose just makes the car look so good. That's definitely one of my favorite jdm cars. I don't know why Nissan sent us the ka with a truck motor and gear box.
Car looks awesome on track! Great job seeing this one through guys! 👍
"watch this" never ends well 😂
Once the travel ban is off you should have a show down with Ben from G&G and his civic.. just an idea
Nah, have a showdown with Ben's k20 RX7 instead ☺
Shout out to the Circuit Hero extension! Such a rad piece! My first sponsor in the mid 2000s
I am super impressed with this build. Well done fellas!
Didnt get any notifications for this channel glad I checked
Man you guys should do a winter beater rally car build. and go race it on a lake or on some snowy back roads. That would be a killer series with a bit less cost to it.
Another great episode guys, love seeing the track videos too. Nice to see some aditional exterior camera angles!
It was cool seeing you guys that day
Gotta put some aero and fine tune to chase that lap time, it's the fun part ! More track time !
Great video the S14 is sick. I had something to interject on your brake pedal. Try replacing the proportioning valve spring in master cylinder. On my Corvette they make a spring to direct more braking power to the rear brakes instead of the front. Helped my brake pedal feel and stopping power tremendously.
Such a pretty, well sorted car. It would be fun to tune it to be even better. But, I get that it is time to move on for you guys. Cannot wait for the EVO / STI showdown!!
Hi Guys!
Love your back and happy to work on your projects and test on the track. I was so depressed when you shut down.
Great video and great uprades on this car. Like to follow this project. I learn a lot.
This is what I have been waiting for.
Please sell it to me and i promise to take it to Nurburg Ring for some serios tarck driving.
This brings a smile to my face. Thank you.
I hope when you do your giveaway that a true track / car enthusiast gets this car because they would have an absolute blast and it would change their life
Its nice to see schassis doing grip racing. Great work guys! I would be willing to wait for whatever years to see it back on track. Hope it won't be sold :)
This is a new Speed Academy. I like it. Can we get some sweet drone shots from the race track?
1:20.1 around TMP is super impressive for this setup imo, gives me hope for my s14! Plus if I ever grenade the sr I think I know where to go next... I'm secretly hoping I can pinch some more parts from this build after already snagging the rad from this and turbo from the 930 haha
Fuck yeah more seat time! I love how you guys talk and drive, fucking sick
This car is sick. The k24 sounds so good.
Seems to be a blast to drive. Nice video. Well done 👌
A really fun looking video!
A suggestion though - if you could coordinate/synchronize some of what you're talking about with some outside shots showing the car taking some of those corners or accelerating on the straights - would bump it up more. I realize there maybe logistics issues such as track rules and it may take more time to edit the vids and stuff - but just food for thought!? (oh maybe camera's mounted outside on the car?!) Like at around 07:22 - hahaha power slide and the replay slow-mo shot was fun! but also an outside shot would of made it more awsome I think - like 12:35 and so - but u know, as I said, coordinate some of the sequences. Anyways - *hugs* thanks for taking us on your adventures!
I'm looking forward to pick me up a s14 next year been wanting one for a long time.
Really nice car i'm loving it! Please polish it, the hood has really bad haze from swirl., not hate.
