Justin Roger’s S14
Its not everyday you run into a car like Justin Roger’s 1995 Nissan 240sx. The first time I saw it was at the Lone Star Drift Round 5 tech day at Powerfab Automotive and it blew my mind on how clean of a car it was, mostly because I have grown so accustom to other 240’s with broken body panels and miss matched paint claiming the “missile car” title.

Justin is no stranger to 240’s as this is his third, previously owning S13 Hatch and 1997 S14. This new S14 was bought from a friend of his last october in Dallas since it already had a lot of nice parts on it similar to his last S14 build that was featured on Mayday Garage. One of the first things Justin did was put a set of Ganador mirrors on the car, its kinda like his signature thing he does to all his cars.
Some of the bigger items that Justin added after getting the car was the S14 Kouki Rear Valances, 17X9 18×9.5 Mercury silver TE37, and a new set of Stance XR pro comp coilovers with Swift springs 9k/7k
The vibe that Justin wanted from the car was a sleek street styled ride since he wanted ac and full interior, but at the same time he wanted it to be set up properly for drifting which is his favorite hobby of course. Personally I think he smashed his goal.
Nice up close view of the new TE37’s that Justin managed to get off Yahoo Japan, also showing off the bigger Z33 Brembo slotted rotors with the Z32 calipers to help in the braking department.
They see me rollin
They hatin
Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Just the way this car floats along on the highway is just really awesome to look at..
The power is sourced from a S15 SR20DET running very safe levels of boost for a nice number of around 280rwhp. Some other basic mod’s include ISIS front mount intercooler to keep AIT’s in check, ISIS 4″ dual straight pipe exhaust, Koyo N-Flow radiator and R32 clutch fan to keep all the water temperature in check, all important mods to keep the car very cool and reliable for constant abuse.
One of the last mods Justin has done to the car was the Bolt in 6 point cage so he go out and tandem with some of the local talent during practice at the Lone Star Drift events, with the added benefit of stiffen up the chassis a bit. Some other notable mods to the interior are the Sparco EVO2 Plus drivers seat, Nardi Classic 330mm steering wheel, and Tomei shift knob
At the last drift event there was a slight mishap, there was some bumper car action going on in some 5, 6, and 7 car tandem trains and Justin was on the losing end..
Thanks for the picture Alex
Stole this picture from Aaron Losey, but even though all this damage was caused spirits were still high and he is already planning his rebuild.
