If you don't mind me asking about how much for materials did that cost? I was thinking of doing House of Kolor Platinum Pearl but just for everything needed it would be about $900 so I was looking for other options. If you don't to put a price up here my email is [email protected]. Thanks in advance.

[BrianHarte]

Materials aren't very expensive.

Probably like 500 or so.

[iandrew89]

ok thanks

[Didderson]

Idk man. I like cubes for what they are, I think they're cool because of how unique the styling is, but I'd never sell an s13 to get one. They're brand new too so you're going to pay out the a** in pricing.

It's up to you, but why not just get a tow vehicle so you can tow this s13 to the track and get the motor you really want for it, or move out of cali.

Anything's possible, seems like you're at a crossroads so I hope you figure out what u want and what makes u happy .

[ViolentRunning13]

Get an Xterra with me.

[pj]

BH, dude you are a wishy washy mofo.and say no to cube.rollerhockey sucks.

[Koshin]

I would have not a single desire to pull some kind of illegal / loophole crap like that.

To build up an entire S15 and them gamble with it everyday would be out of the question.

maybe when I was younger, but as I get older, I find it less interesting to pull shady stuff with cars. I value my dollar and license.

lol

old man

I still find it interesting, youre losing your edge BH

f***in with you buddy

[Kalypso]

you need one of these brian

[Koshin]

Im getting ready to put an RB26N1 in Gloria...BH, you can just buy my VG30det....

lol

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^^

[BrianHarte]

That's a HUGE RB26!

[spooled240]

look at how close the turbo is to the valve cover, that is some precision manifold work right there

[Didderson]

It's true though. You've had a near stock engine for so long, a new more powerful one will really help you get out of the slump. Just figure out how to legalize it. I'm sure you know tons of people who can help, even in cali.

impressive indeed. i wouldnt have seen that

[spooled240]

swap a VQ in the hatch, it will be all legit and faster than a sr20det

[Kalypso]

I dont think he wants to spend more on it... but BH if you did... that would be fierce.

if its a vq might as well do ls1...

[spooled240]

you can referee a vq as long as all the smog controls are hooked because the engine is the same make and newer than a s13. ls1 would be illegal =/

[Kalypso]

in cali? that sucks... vq is a great motor tho... do want

Not going to waste my time with that stuff.

I do like the pics of cool RBs though.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Just do a 302 (aka 5.0) swap. Loads cheaper, still legal, and more power STOCK than an esssarrr. It would be probably cheaper than an SR from start to finish as well with the contacts you must have.

WIN.

Looking at the RHD stuff, the rad, and rad core.... what is that R32?

[BrianHarte]

I am going to guess that is a 32 gTR

Got pulled over on the way to work yesterday. Cop popped my hood.

Him: Oh a ka24 huh?

Risky business.

He knew what motor you had? He asked you to pop the hood? Cali sounds like a terrible place.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I've NEVER heard of anyone popping hoods, ANYWHERE. In cali the cops? Don't they have better things to be doing?

I still want to live there though.

[ViolentRunning13]

This is what I am trying to prove. And why BH still has a ka in his street car. California is reckless. They know their stuff. Also there was a cop waiting in the parking lot of my work waiting for me to leave so he can get me. He eventually left after 45 minutes of waiting. I flipped him off as he was leaving.

from what i understand, you can swap any engine of the same make and year OR newer as long as the engine came in other USDM cars...so no rb's, lsX's or 5.0's unforntunately =/

A ref station is not too hard to find, there is one near my house at a community college...same as the smog checks, just come in with your paper work, they check all your smog controls and you're set. C'mon BH, you know you want a new 300hp VQ with a six speed

If the rule means just that, there should be no problem with a 5.0 or an LS series engine.

That's stupid. Cops shouldn't get paid for sitting around trying to give us vehicle tickets.

hm, i have a ka24 too

in order for an engine swap in a s13 to be legal it has to be a Nissan engine and it has to be out of another car that is the same year or newer.
