S14 Silvia 200sx Optional Parts Catalogue & Fitment

Been building on quite a number of optional parts for the S14, just installed the S15 Silvia Blue Seats. They are bolt on fitment on an S14. They look & feel really classy, has a suede-ish finish to them- will post pics soon. Installed the rear back rest from an S15 as well, again bolt on fitment but a bit of a misjudgement here not ordering in the bottom piece. Opted to stay with the stock leather one & it just doesn't look right. So order from Japan in the works. Which is really annoying & frustrating since when they were purchased originally the seat was paid for but due to shipping constraints I waived the set. So a few months then to sort out this imperfection. Will have to add it to my nismo supper copper mix clutch shipment, cant wait for that!! ...to complete the drive train & replace that torturous subframe.

To start off I hunted down most of the optional parts catalogues from Japan which include the Nismo, Autech & Navan brochures amongst many:


Wierdly then lets start with the back interior of the car & couple of items I would like to see go in soon:

S14 Silvia Kenwood Speaker Board - has bigger speaker cones & looks a bit beefier, coupled with an S15 interior brake light should be ultra unique. Will need to maybe respray the cones.

S14 Silvia Rear Window Sun Shade - wasn't  in very good nick when it landed had to polish it up a bit which used up alot of elbow grease. Looks worth while for the half day effort I put into this. All it needs now is a Navan decal at the top center & an Autech one bottom center ;)


 

S14 SILVIA 200SX - INTAKE UPGRADE


INTAKE UPGRADE S14 SILVIA - 200SX

Partially documenting my S14 build would be great for the sake of the cars memoirs, so lets get straight to it. Had these parts sitting for ages. Time to complete Silvia project...

The ingredients :
S14 Silvia Trust Greddy Intake Plenum
N15 Pulsar SR16ve 70mm throttle body with TPS sensor
Tomei Adaptors
S15 Fuel Rail Nismo 555cc Injectors
SAMCO hoses

Yeah those injectors are meant to support either an HKS GTss turbo or a Garrett Gt2871R. Problem with the existing nismo fuel pressure regulator leaking fuel. The S15 rail looks like it has an adequate FPR. So might just chuck the nismo one.
Going to replace the ignitor switch while this is in the mix &
see if that solves the jerking problem under boost. Though I suspect it might be the AFM. Which will soon be replaced by a Z32 MAF. Also looking to rid the greddy supplementary overflow tank - just no difference there. It was meant to make things run a little cooler. Also a complete replacement Samco silicone water piping kit for radiator & fan hoses in the works here. The car already has a Koyo radiator fitted and a cheapie eBay intercooler which will be replaced by a HPI one. Yes HPI the manufactures of that elusive nismo 6 speed gearbox (one day...).

Ok so some pics of the manifold which is meant to be flowed to port match the N15 throttle.


Tomei makes a quality adaptor for the Throttle - attached:
Out by about 2-3mm needs a bit of flowing...


Sent the Plenum to Cam Tech & got the inlet flowed to 70mm. Decent job!!  Outlet ports also smoothed out:

Ports Smoothed put - should add a couple watts :)

Next Step - maybe getting the injectors flow tested:
