Ps.... can i haz your lip? lol If not, how did you get it to attach to your bumper? Email me about it...... Stevenpiper84@yahoo.com

well, I get up at 6 or 7 am and I work until I have to go into work at 9 am and then when I get out at 7pm I work until 10 or 11 pm... As for the cash aspect, I have had most of the parts for a few years from a few different builds and got great deals on most parts.... as for the lip  but I just attached w/ zipties to the lower bolt holes on the sides of the bumper and to the under side of the bumper where the "skid plate" goes...

Okay, so I've been prepping the SR and rebuilding it... here it is so far:Apexi Headgasket (you can see the tag sticking out)
ARP Headstuds & Exhaust manifold studs
Nismo Motor Mounts
Moroso Oil Pan
Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold
Garrett GT28RS Turbo
Split Fire Coil Packs
Custom Painted Pulleys and Valve Cover
Carbon Fiber Cover
Also today, I dropped off the door panels and rear seats down to Fly Boyz Custom Upholstery to have them covered in fabric to match the R34 Seats. Next I plan on taking the front end of the vert off along w/ the doors to make way for the coupe doors (pillarless), along w/ some cleaning up of the fenderwells, and then hopefully prepping the car for the manual swap, and possibly the engine swap (not sure if I want to attempt this before winter, as I would like to take this car to DROPTOBERFEST in Nanticoke, PA on October 17th)

Updates:I took the coupe trunk (spoilerless) and painted it black and put the Origin Lip Spoiler on... it looks descent. Am working on the coupe door swap at the moment, and still have to get the front fenders off before the doors come off...

Yeah, so I started it... the motor is pretty much ready to come out, just have to take out 1 motor mount bolt, and 4 tranny mount bolts and she's ready to pull. :twisted:

Alright, so today: I got the turbo all bolted on and all the lines run for that. I did find out that I need some clocking adapters for the intake/outlet on the turbo to put them in the right spot. 
I also mounted up my Greddy FMIC, and it fit beautifully.
Also started welding in the patch panel over the old battery tray, and that is :? 
also a pic from a couple weeks ago...

The filter relocation I took off the s14 which I had to mount on the opposite side by the exhaust manifold b/c I had too much stuff on the intake mani side, and I also plan on cutting it about half way for an oil cooler setup I have lying around...
I'm eager to get it back toget too, but I haven't touched it in a month 
I'm contemplating tubbing out the front wheel wells, and I am trying to cut the new carpet to fit etc... so It'll be coming along eventually...
