they told us already what parts we could use, and where to get them, what more do you want? I'd much rather save the "$33", and shop around myself, its not that hard.

Karim also sold me my SR16ve, all i can say is that it was extremely clean, and in perfect condition. i reccomend.

man those hakosukas are so sweet... I know i'm gonna end up spending way to much money someday to get one.

it also looks like the clip is installed backwards, [but on the right side this time] meaning that that tab on the end shouldn't be on the inside resting against the main part of the clip. It should be facing out like how you had it first. This is how all my clips looked when i was disassembling the brake lines. Maybe thats preventing it from being installed all the way, and thus holding it tightly.

just so you know...the wategate location seems to be less than ideal. i know its too late since you already did it [but i read about it in maximum boost by corky bell] i dont have the book with me at the moment be he said something about it not venting equally or something. the best loaction being with the turbo mounted in symetrical Y formation... i'll scan the page when i get the chance later this week if you'd like.. looks great though.

ive got a gt2871r. i got it with a T3 turbine housing for use with an external gate, and a 4" compressor inlet. depending on how you clock it, its basically a 9x9x9 cube...[its a little smaller than that actually] ive heard they're good for around 400hp... idk the exact amount... hopefully mine can make a bit more because it'll be able to flow more, the basic gt2871 is like a t28. pics price was 1145 shipped iirc from himni racing.com

So my techno toy tuning camber plates came, and they are very pretty, and it appears they may have changed their design from a weld in to a bolt in. Unless I recieved the wrong ones. I sent him [Gabe] an email a couple days ago, but havent gotten a reply back yet, so i figured I'd ask you guys about it. My concern is that they dont really allow for much negative camber adjustment, because whent he plate is lined up with the 1st hole, it looks like it puts the strut in the same place. I can weld up the hole and drill a new one however [or slot it]... and I do have adj. LCAs , so i'm thinking I should be able to get a good amount of adjustment. my other concern is that they dont sit flush because the front of the strut housing bends down. im thinking i should cut that out and weld in a piece so its one flat plane, instead of bashing it flat with a hammer, would I be correct in my assumption? anyways here's some pics, tell me what you think. i think it'd be better if they had 2 holes in the front spread out so that it can slide over more how far over it sits pushed inboard. how they'd sit in the stock bolt hole slotted hole. look like enough adjustment? hope this isnt too much of a thread jack...

engine bay looks awesome!

btw...R.I.P...

theres a process called explosion welding that can do it....but no feasable way for the average hobby welder...IIRC

NEO-VVL Nissan Ecology Oriented Variable Valve Lift [Nissan's version of vtec.]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

same thing happened to me only it was with a turbo......they thought i would notice a new box, amoung the many others...

would MS really be an upgrade? maybe a TEC3 would....

if you do end up making rear brakets it'd be nice to see some with provisions for wilwood spots so we can have parking brakes with big brakes.

i was just looking at those, and one disadvantage i noticed is that they dont really come wide enough to use with vented rotors, at least the ones they use in these big brake kits

i make 3.... i thougth it was an s130...some one should do that [lexan windows] for the quater windows on their s130, and extend them to get rid of the ugly trim in front. awesome pics...

when i was dissasembling the interior of my 240z, i found a hash pipe, they had cut a hole in the vinyl trim that goes under the door, and stashed it under there. now i've got to get new vinyl....unless i carpet it...

saw this thread and picked up that book and maximum boost. thanks guys

bump, lets get this project rolling! anyone else interested?

interested. anodized. if youre making rear brakets too, and if they'd be usable with rear brakes that somehow have a parking brake...i'll be down for two..

so the caps are just a solid circle, replacements for the stock thin ones?
