Hello

Well winter has come and its time to tear apart my ride and prep for next summer. My Goal with this project is to have a car i can take to the track, Road and drag strip wile having fun. Drifting we will see as much as i love it kind of hurts when yah smash up your ride after spending 4 months working on it maybe if i get a s13. Here is what i got so far i will keep updating this thread as **** gets on way. Just need to make a few more decisions on what motor to run Rb26dett am thinking . Enjoy ****ing Image Shack takes so long.

Before the Tear Down

Wrapped Up Like a Present haha

For the rims am not sure yet. I want to get a set of deep dish bbs but they cost a arm and a leg. Was a Vw Guy before i drove a 240 and had a change of heart. So bbs and Recardo seats are so nice to me but i was told that bbs wheels don't suit Nissan:(

8.5 in the front and 10in the back would look good i think :P but bbs just cost to much.http://www.bbs-usa-appguide.co...&WF=2

Ohh and Body kits to me really have no point i just like the front lip on cars and its all.

Well its been a long long time since i have updated . work life and lots of **** has got in the way oh and the snow haha canada cant do much work when its - 20 outside But the money is here so its time to start the show. The shell is off getting partical blasted.

Now its time to start buying parts I got the motor yesterday Rb26dett But for suspension am at a stand still so many options.

Coilovers i have gone with Stance GR+3 Now for the control arms upper/lower and all the other linkages involved. What manufacture makes a quality product? or should i just fab up my own at work? since they all appear to be simple to make.

Thanks will post up pics asap

Hey guys

I know its been a really long time since i have updated but i have been a busy busy man work life bars yah all know the same old story. But now has come the time where i cant stand looking at it any more sittin there all alone. Time to tear its guts haha.

Well here is the goal and track car not full but close 500-800hp and fully done every part touched.

The Plan

2009 - 2010 winter

Partical BlastedS15 front endRust gone for good "Sheet Metal Mechanic" Custom Fender Flairs And Side SkitsRoll Cage

Suspension Stance Brake upgrade Probably 300xz Brembo are just to much Wheels Workz Vx 18"Fuel CellPretty much a rolling Chassis

Winter 2010 Building the Rb26 dett or det depending yet still undecided more research to do.

Summer 2010PaintThe wiring and interior And i got a f***ing car haha

So Fare i have almost striped it Bear few things left-gas tank -Sun Roof -Trunk CablesAnd small do dads here and there

One Thing there are a hell of alot of parts to a car really surprised me at how much room i do not have.

And Here are some pics since yah all love them

Few Questions -Rb26 all wheel drive conversion i have only seen one company do it. But how difficult is it? Do i need to cut my chassis to fit the axes would love to talk to someone how has done a rb26 swap for some tips.

Custom fab is no problem Plasma table at work with a 300ton press 10 foot rolls and mig tig welders at free use got to love sheet metal somedays.
