Yes, you have seen this car on Autosalon and now J-Spec Group is featuring this Pure Snow White S14.5. This car’s life started as a pre-facelift, automatic non- turbo black S14 until it went into Clinton’s ownership. Since S14 it’s used as a popular drift car, everybody has the mind of having dished mags, pretty bodykits and try lowering the car as low as they can be whereas Clinton wants it to be a bit more “COOL”. In doing so, he converted the sad looking pre-facelift front look to a S15 look and painting the car snow white to look “COOL”. He did not just stop there, adding a full “URAS” bodykit with wide front guards and 80mm wide back panels making it “COOLER”. Chrome WORK EMOTIONS, M3 style aftermarket mirrors, carbon bonnet and black crystal clear lights were placed at the back to finish off the “COOL”JDM drift look.
Having such a nice shell with a sad automatic SR20DE engine in it makes it “UNCOOL”. Clinton was feeling guilty and ripped out the dirty old engine and replaced it with a full SR20DET manual conversion kit along with a few modification parts. Apexi airfilter, HKS down pipe, HKS front pipe, HKS exhaust system, aftermarket manifold, Torque Damper and CUSCO oil catch can were added for the basic modification but he did not stop. Upgrading the turbo to a
KKR 380 TURBO along with a Greddy front mount intercooler kit and Greedy boost controller, this car will be a Pure alright. Clinton needed a whole lot of petrol to keep this Pure Snow White going, therefore a SARD fuel pressure regulator, Walbro fuel pump along with NISMO 740cc injectors installed, she cannot be thirsty running high boost. Apexi Power FC is used to tune and make things running properly. Blitz Blow of valve is used to release some pressure, 40mm external waste gate to make it breathe better and Greddy Cam Gears, HKS oil cap/ Trust radiator cap to spice up the engine bay.
Clinton has done all the basics that’s ever needed on a SR20DET. He also wants this Pure Snow White to handle good. It has CUSCO front and rear strut brace, CUSCO 2-way LSD to make it do DORI’s and sitting on CUSCO suspension. JDM camber arms and toe arms were added to handle better than factory settings.
Moving onto the interior, Nardi steering is installed for drifting comfortably, NISMO gearknob to shift properly and RECARO seats to seat comfortably. SIGNAL boost, oil pressure, water temperature, oil temperature, exhaust temperature is also installed to keep on eye on the snow white. Since it’s so plain inside, Clinton added CUSCO seven point blue rollcage to make it “COOL” blue.
Pure Snow White S14.5 is born and now ready for testing. It made 210kw at wheels at the moment.(300hp) at Autosalon but Clintons will be re-dynoing and should be making close to 260KW at the wheels. After all, Clinton has done a “COOL” project and he will be continuing to make this Pure Snow White faster and “COOLER”
