Well, most of the Sheetmetal work is done and I have since ordered the Extrudabody Individual Throttle Body system for the Motor ! I have custom plenum plates being made and will build a custom plenum with a 90mm Air Flow Meter. Here are some photos of the Sheetmetal ( some of it still has the protective plastic film on it ) Ther is a GPS System fitted up and the Gauges will be installed next... The Dash id pulled out a bit on the left side while the steering was being worked on and fits up snug to the cage when all is completed. I also have a spot for the ipod in the center console behind the shifter that will be integrated with the Communications System and FM two way radio system.

Here are some more update Photos... Suspension is hung on the car and more interior fabrication is being completed. (35" BF Goodrich Baja T/A's on Beadlock BTR WHeels are mounted as well.) I just got the Extrudabody Injection in and will start fabricating the Plenum next week. Cams are next with the Q-45 Modified Computer and Headers next.-Kurt

Should be a couple months for 100% completion if all goes as planned. Still have a number of things to do ! I will be sure to post Video when it's done. Thanks for all of the compliments but a lot of credit is due to Ed Zimmerman at Pride Sand Designs in San Diego a good friend and awesome fabricator ! Clark Steppler ( another great friend ) at Jim Wolf Technology will be due a lot of credit when the Motor build is complete and Kevin Thornton at http://www.extrudabody.com has been very helpful with the Injection System setup as well ! I have been fortunate to have so many people help out with this project that are true Nissan Fans as well !

All of the Aluminum Work is done and I am busy designing the Fuel System, Plumbing Brakes, Wiring, ITB's, Exhaust, Air Cleaner System, etc... I will completely assemble the car, test it, tear it back down and Powder Coat, Paint, etc... Then re-assemble it. Hopefully all is complete by November. Will keep you posted.-Kurt

I will put Paddles on it occasionally and take it to Pismo, Gordons Well, etc but it is being built primarily for the hard pack Desert. I will take it to Superstition, Plaster City, ( East of San Diego ) If the out of control crime in Baja settles down I will take it down there as well.

Here are some updated photos... The Powder Coating is done, Interior sheetmetal and electronics pretty much done and I plumbed the brake system, clutch, welded about a hundred tabs on the chassis and have put the motor back in to get the Fuel Injection System, Intake Plenum and Exhaust fabricated. It's coming along slowly but I am doing it the way I want... I am going to leave the Chassis bare until I test it thoroughly then I will Powder Coat it.

I'd love to know the weight of this beast. This motor gets a 5000 lb Titan moving pretty good. This thing is gonna haul ***! I'm tempted to make you throw on some slicks and take it to the drag strip just for kicks...

The car will weigh about 2500-2600 lbs. The motor will put out around 450hp with the stock bottem end. Big Cams, a Q-45 Computer ( modified by JWT's Clark Steppler ) Extrudabody ITB Injection System with a hand made Plenum and hand made Headers... I may go for aftermarket Pistons next Desert Season depending on how it performs. I should be happy with the performance considering the H.P. to weight ratio... Slicks ? Maybe ! I would be curious what it would turn in the quarter - the Five Speed Sequential Geargox should help as well ! -Kurt

I'm betting you need wheelie bars, 450-500 whp + 2500lbs I'm guessing if you can keep it pointed straight mid 12's?

Why you trying to take out all the fun? Wheelies would be awesome. And who cares about staying striahgt. It's made to off-road. From the looks of it, it can probably go up the stands, jump off the top, return to the trrack and still pull off an 11 second run.  | Quote, originally posted by fastkid400 » | | this thing is sick!

X-Jared, I will get some photos of the Crank Trigger Wheel tomorrow and post them for you. I am still working on other parts of the car and will have a Cam Trigger designed soon. I can send you the CAD Drawing for the Crank Trigger Wheel as well but I dont know how I can post it here... Do I have to go to I Serve, store it there then attach it ?
