Ill be fine with a 2.5.

I know about the KA... I'm not telling anyone in my area I'm getting a CA18. They'll find out soon enough . Anyhow, it took a lot of work to do. Basically we had to take all the sheet metal from my 240 off, chop out the mounts for the headlights... actually take out most of the bumper support, make custom brackets and mounts, line everything up using shims and such, use rubber stops to keep the hood even, took 9 hours to install, we've done another 3 hours lining the front end up, and we're tucking the fenders in a little more... not too much, I have rear fender flares to match it. I went with the GTS because, 1) it's all I could find, 2) I have a RWD car, the GTS is RWD, and 3) there is no 3. I could probably just get a GTR grill and hood and I'd be fine, everything else is the same. Same fenders, head lights, etc. etc. I actually like the GTS corners more, they're clear with amber inserts, rather then just all amber. Anyhow, I'm not done with it yet, it's a slow project... lack of funds. If you guys want to donate to the Sky Eighty fund, you're more then welcome

How much?

[ride4lame]

the sky 80 looks ok, but you can really tell the lines just don't flow. The skyline was bigger and looks out of place on the smoother 180

The front end cost me around $500 and a fellow 240 owner helped me out and only charged me $150. He actually did most of the work, lol. But anyhow, I couldn't complain. After that he gave me a ride in his RB25 powered S13 coupe. Priceless, hehe. The lines don't match up well, I have to mold some and shave some here and there, but other then that it's not too shabby.

[jdmfreak]

Well he did say he was gonna get the rear fender flares to match it.

BTW what color are you gonna paint it.

[AkiraSkyEighty]

Black. I was originally going to keep it Cherry Red Pearl... but I decided that it would look a lot nicer in black. More aggressive.

[jdmfreak]

A lotta cars do.

[machinehead]

Yea that does look pretty good! How much custom work did it require? I think it would look cooler with the R32 GTR front grill/hood =)

BTW- pretty much impossible to have a 2.6L KA...you cant bore it out that much without hitting the coolant holes and/or other cylinders.

there is a 2.7L stroker kit for the ka, dunno who makes it though.

[aleph1]

I dont think the KA needs to be stroked anymore...

drifter sx: everything to you is rice, maybe your should do absolutely nothing to your car, then you have no chance of being rice.
