The pedal spacing was my only gripe with the car as well. However I fixed it in 17min & $70 with this

Hahah yea, was looking at something similar too! Next on the list would be to make the drive by wire more responsive.

I would LOVE a properly built Silvia replica with an SR20DET, the KA24DE was really the only low point of the car.

Jeez $50K on the S14? You've got me curious... what was done to it? I continue to piss away money playing with it, but I don't think I'm at 50k there yet. It's pretty much a KA25DET now. I went through three motors before finally building the bottom end and going to an AEM Series II. People said the headgaskets were the weakest points on the car... well boosting 25PSI on a pretty stock motor for almost a year, my factory headgasket had no issues. Piston #4 eventually had an issue though, the ringlands blew on it. I still drove around for a good year with 3 cylinders boosting, and these LS FD guys said my car felt just as quick as theirs. Pretty funny stuff Now that I look back, I had the option to RB26 it... I think that would have saved me a bunch more money if I did that back then.
