Its always relative I guess....now they both sure beat walking for sure!

Cant believe no one said it yet, but if its an L20 there is no mistaking it for an L28 powerwise. Its night and day....L20s are dog slow...ask me how I know...hehe. My Hakosuka has one..... Terry

Happy Birthday Ron!

Wow am I good...I estimated a 19 in the quarter with the Hakosuka and I ran a 18:72 at 70 MPH. 2.64 60, 11:50 at 58 eighth...I am now offically the slowest street car in San Angelo hahahahaha. Been getting tons of comments on the car..anything from "Is that a RAMBLER? to Nice strectched B510 (hahahah) to "Sweet Nova Chevy II" oh and yesterday a guy said sweet buick!!! Alot of people do know what it is though, I had alot of fun driving if it werent for the 102 HP thing....hehe. Engine: L20 2 liter 102 HP Header and Holley 600 with AZ intake 4 speed and R200 Just needed a start to compare the gains when I get started. I already got a 5 speed tranny in the storage waiting. NOw to find a nice 3 liter L28 or a 3.1 Decided to keep it NISSAN instead of cutting it up. Terry

lol....

Out a couple of pics from the dragway in the album. Looks cool... Terry

Theres some pics in my picture trail album below. Ill upload the time slip when I get back to Japan. I noticed that the torque felt like it went down when I added the header. Probably better to not have a header on the two liter stock engine without any head work. Ahhhh its getting pulled anyways....who cares....hehehehe.

ONe place wouldnt do the state inspection because he said right side driving was illegal...WTF? That was the HOnda place at Lynn Alexander Ford on Sherwood way....dont go there they are fricken idiots!!! I guess all the mail truck drivers are doomed to be jailed soon!!!! Noooooo!!! IDIUTS!!! Hahahahahahaha.... TErry

Car is finally picked up and will be delivered Sunday a day after I get in. Im glad this is almost over. How do you guys do it shipping vehicles over and over...this was fricken stressful!!! lol. terry

HEHEHEHE. I like the wing!!

JEsus Christ!!! My Hakosuka is still in San Pedro. Says cant find a truck coming to Texas...WTF? Its been there now almost three weeks at NIK and associates. Any advice anyone...I leave for Texas this Saturday....dammit I may have to fly there and tow it back...Im a little pissed....any suggestions anyone??? Terry

Hey guys chiming in. Hi Mike. Mine was $3200 for shipping plus $400 Jap customs fee to get it to Cali. Its on its way to Texas now for another $2500. Once it hit Cali, American customs and transpo fees add up. So Mike was right a little over $5000 to Texas for the Hakosuka. American President LInes is the one I used to ship. Prices are up due to fuel prices Im sure. used to be about $1200 for a 20 foot container a few years back. Terry

Wholly Molly!!! Id say thats a great deal! If only I can get so lucky when it comes time. That will be one sweet swap! Im still in the gym but starting to have those damn joints problems from all the years of heavy lifting...oh well adapt and over come I guess...hehe. Terry

How much did you get your engine for? Im planning on the same thing... Terry

Search and you shall be set free my brother! CZ

WooHoo! Car cleared customs today and is undergoing the XRay scan (makes sure no weapons of mass destruction have been added to the container). Should be on the truck to Texas by next week!! Im stoked! Terry

I was planning on this for the engine bay. Paint black first then chrome and fianlly clear. Probably under hood as well but dont know if itll hold up to heat very well. Comments?

If I rememebr correctly at a minmum youll need a 14MM socket (front cross member and bolt that connects the front of the diff to the cross member), two 12mm wrenches (drive shaft bolts front and nut side, and axle nuts/bolts) these maybe 14mm but I believe they are 12mm. The nuts on the rear of the diff that holds them into the mustache bar is a 21 or 22mm socket if I remember correctly. Now I dont know what type of axles are on the diff your getting but just make sure you have the usual 10-22MM sockets and a couple of 12,14mm wrenches and maybe a 17mm wrench, a screw driver and youll be fine. All of this is meant for a S30 so S130 or above Im not sure. Terry

I was watching that....24K rediculous....
