Haha seriously on blocks eh? Couldn't find any jackstands? Looks like a KA24E in there, did you source that from a 240sx?

Welcome to NICO :wavey:
It most certainly is 1-ova-kind.
Cool paint! What did you do to the struts/springs to get a drop like that?

lol yea jackstands are all used on other cars in the shop so i had to be inventive. and im not sure where the motor was actually sourced from... hopefully a truck.. :p just so its that much worse.. suspension is s13 all around. and the front is all the way up hehe.

"she got that laffy taffy"

it's not hard to be differnt when building an S130, they are an underappreciated and underused chassis, not cliche like an Rb S30 ;)

Usually, when people haven't done something before, it's because it's a bad idea. Different isn't always good.

But I've never been a fan of 4 bangers in a Z. Especially not an underpowered truck motor. :P

:weak:

But I do like the "paint". Is that a wrap?
