Well...It was a gravel race which would imply that we ride it on gravel bikes, especially since there is another Cross Country Specific race on the same course.

@@fubar66if it ain’t a rule, it’s fair game 🤓

No dropper for me, it isn't super technical in my opinion, but then again I ride lots of mtb trails on my gravel bike so take that with a grain of salt. The trails can be quite bumpy out here and with all the rain we've had, there are definitely going to be some ruts. The hardest part for me is when it gets sandy. I broke my leg a few months ago and I won't be racing again this year unfortunately, but good luck and have fun out there. Feel free to ask any more questions if you have them.

Good thing this was a race...

It's a cross country course, so depending on how comfortable you are riding single track might make the difference. 650b wouldn't be a bad idea as it can be really bumpy out there. It is a little sandy in some parts and hardpack in others so personal preference on tread. The pathfinder pros weren't enough tread for me, but the Terrano wets were really good in the sand but slow on the true gravel.

It is definitely an amazing platform, that said I always will want more power. The handling is DIALED thanks to the Annex CSP Coilovers, and the new motor build should hopefully help in the HP department too. Can't wait to see your build out there!

@@fubar66 i will definitely look into setting my suspension up like yours real soon, gonna run it with the KA24DE for now but i do have a freshly built SR20DET waiting to go in also, just need to get a few more goodies for it

Glad you liked it!

The best advice I can give is to go out early and ride the trails as much as you can. It can be very hard packed and bumpy in spots, and extremely loose and sandy in others. The braking bumps can get really bad in spots. I was flirting with danger with my lower tire pressures to soak up some of the bumps without being too low to risk a flat or bent rim. Tire choice is also pretty crucial, the Terrano Wets worked great for me in the loose sand, but definitely felt slower on the hard pack and tarmac. In general, ride your gravel bike on mountain bike trails a lot to get comfortable descending down obstacles and maintaining speed. Go fast, take chances!

Thanks Rosy! I'd like to. I broke my leg pretty bad in August, so I don't think I will be competitive in time, so I might just go out and ride it at a casual pace in 2023.

But it's not slow like a 914 anymore either...on a course that is all about power, I'll take the V8 over the agility here.

@@fubar66 the description says “RPS13 chassis” which it is, but technically it’s an RMS13, the P stands for sr20det the M stands for ka24de. Just something I noticed the other week while looking around my engine bay for no reason

@@OPEK. the VIN Plate says RPS13

@@fubar66 that’s interesting because they never made LHD RPS13s, RPS13 = 1991-98 180SX w/ SR20DET KPS13 = 1991-93 Silvia w/ SR20DET & Super HICAS KRPS13 = 1991-98 180SX w/ SR20DET & Super HICAS HS13 = 1989-90 240SX Coupe w/ KA24E RHS13 = 1989-90 240SX FB w/ KA24E MS13 = 1991-93 240SX Coupe w/ KA24DE RMS13 = 1991-93 240SX FB w/ KA24DE Is all the relevant classic codes for 240s. My dual cam coupe has “MS13” stamped on the firewall above the intake

@@fubar66 that's dope. It says it was a KA car too on the plate?

Lots of elbow grease, rulers, jigsaws, dzus fasteners and a sheet of hdpe plastic

@@fubar66 dope man! A how too video would of been cool lol I’m gonna try to do something similar

@@2jzs13 good luck! The fun is figuring it out on your own to fit your personal needs. Would love to see it when you are done.

Thanks man! I'd checkout the Annex Suspension CSP coilovers if you want to chop off some serious lap time. My car was the test mule for that system so you will get similar results to my setup, hopefully :P

That is engine swap that should be done in a 914. Porsche built 2 prototype 914-8 but they never mass produced the design. You can see one of the 914-8 in the Porsche museum.

..or a Toyota UR 5.7 v8?😊

no, that's Checo

Thanks dude!

Stock except for an S14 hot cam swap. AEM intake and Megan Headers.

@@fubar66 nice. Love seeing a S13 setup for grip for once. Especially rocking the KA. Are you from the Fremont area? Only ask be of annex. I used to run SCCA a bunch back in 2006-2009ish. Haven’t done anything lately but me and a buddy are trying to get back into now.

I'm in San Luis Obispo! But the Annex guys are my homies!

@@fubar66 nice! Would love to hear more about the setup you got. Coilovers obviously, but any other suspension components? Brakes? I can tell you this. We run the same wheels lol. 17x9 for me.

@@HelpingHandAutoRepair Annex Suspension Clubspec Pro 9k/8k. I've got 4 pot willwoods up front with a custom unboosted master cylinder for feel. GKTech RUCA and Toe Arms, Z32 Rear knuckles. Whitleline front Sway bar. That's about it. Yeah, 17x9 +22 square on the wheels. Ask away if you have any more questions!

I'm using Annex Suspension ClubSpec Pro Coilovers. They are super helpful, you should consult them for what rates will work best with your setup. I can't give away all my secrets just yet ;)

@@fubar66 sure, I understand:) I've already ordered some coilovers. Are your RPF1s clear z32 brakes without spacers? They're +22 offset?

@@arturatayants1666 they cleared with +22. But I have Wildwoods now

@@fubar66 Got it, thank you!

@@arturatayants1666 I can tell you that my RPF1 don’t clear my brakes. Had to use a 5mm spacer. My wheels are +35 though.

I used a lot of energy getting up to the corkscrew. I wanted to be pretty close to the front for the single track as that is my strong point.

Stock KA with S14 hot cam, Megan Header, AEM CAI. That's it for the engine

And yeah, Stock pistons stock compression

you can ask me here!

@@fubar66 For sure man i just didn't want it to get too long winded. First question is what alignment do you usually run as a baseline. From the forums I see 0 toe all around with -3 deg camber in the front with around -2 in the rear is pretty common. Also what kind of sway bars do you run, I know having a stiff front and soft rear is pretty common. and lastly doi you run any geometry correction suspension pieces? like drop knuckles for example

@@penamena5238 A lot of that stuff you will just have to figure out on your own and what works for you. I change my setup for almost every track that I run at depending on what that track calls for. The best thing you can do is get a pyrometer and learn to read your tires and adjust your alignment from there. I have a whitelike front bar and stock rear. OE Front Knuckle and Z32 rear with some GKTech Roll center and Anti-Squat corrections.

@@fubar66 ah ok, thanks man. I appreciate the insight

Stock-ish

@@fubar66 so what mods have u done? Just intake?

Tires are everything and invest in a good bucket seat and harnesses. Ask me anything if you have specific questions.

@@fubar66 What tires would you recommend for a beginner? I'm looking at PS4S to serve as double duty (DD and HPDE), but would love to hear your thoughts!

@@Peterdinh3 I really like my Nexen SUR4Gs. Not sure how well they will do as dailys though

@@fubar66 awesome thanks for the heads up! How do you like them compared to your previous tires? Do you recommend any for DD and hpde? Or would you rather have a set of tires specifically for DD and another set for hpde? Do you think the Nexens might be too much tire for a beginner?

@@Peterdinh3 I drove them for a while on the street and they were fine. That said I burn through a set at the track about every 4 events, so they don't last super long. If you want something that will be ok for a long time, check the Hankook RS4's. I would highly recommend having a track set and a street set.

I have not dyno'd it yet, waiting for after I make headers. Probably 5 or 10 over stock.

It's all about keeping your momentum up in the corners. Corner exit is so important for us because we don't have the power to hide any mistakes mod corner. Smooth in, Fast out.

Nexen SUR4G's, I think they're 245/40/17's iirc. The rear toe was completely out so I was definitely fighting the car a bit here

For Nissan Challenge Class 4, yeah

@@fubar66 nice job man. Do you mind sharing how you overlay the timer on the video??

@@nfloresta86 of course! It is a timer animation I made in after effects. I exported the timer to match my frame rate and then overlay that on top of my various videos using premiere pro. I then stop the timer on my time that day and flash the result on screen.

@@fubar66 sweet thanks. I'm going to look into that.. btw did you get a chance to see if you caught that little drift I had into turn 3? I forgot my gopro case yesterday so have no media.. 😩

@@nfloresta86 oh yeah! I didn't know that was you. I'll clip that out and send it to you tonight. It looked pretty sweet.
