hahah I got one too man Great to hear you got ur problems solved. How else did you think she'd run with a z32 maf and no retune? Sounds like what happened to me to run my first swap. Keegan came through with a hella cheap safc2 for my n60 maf because my swap didn't come with the OE maf.n60 can't read as much as the z32, but the housing is the same and for under 325hp, i have plenty of expansion room.

LOL the good jews.

It's hard to typenon this thing compared to my vu lol but I took off of work today so I can replace my driveshaft bolts, fix my hood fitment, figure out how to mount the bumper, fix my headlight switch, and some more

I'll try R&D factory thanks

I used VHT, and I know alot of guys don't like that but when you do it right with some clear it turns out really well.

I got pulled over last night: plate light is out, illegal muffler, no front turn signals, no insurance, no front plate- got lucky and was nice to him and let me go with a ticket for not having insurance card on me. Required court date in October

Facepalm dude. You know better than that to drive around without insurance. Among other things with a flashy car like that what made you think you weren't going to get caught LOL.

ok i'm done sorry.

Glad to see it is a reliable ride for you (at least for the most part) and you got it sorted out before you have to leave!

ahh i see, you're post made it sound otherwise. why'd you say he could have ticketed you for not having insurance if you do have insurance?

Lucky for you man. I got pulled over about 2 years ago when I first bought my 240 in Carol Stream. Had no insurance, they screwed me over badly.

I almost didn't get my last job because my DL was suspended for all that time without me even knowing. I applied for a job and it was refused because of that (I'm a mechanic) I had to get SR22 which was 1,200.

HE ticketed me for not having insurance because I didn't have proof on me, all I need to do is show the court that I DO have insurance and I am good to go!

Sorry to hear that tek, I've donated way too much money to the court as well over the past 4years.

Tatat housing on the way from R&D, thanks for the hads up WC. Attempt #2 to fix the driveshaft and attempt #464818474836 to fix the gas tank support starts tomorrow into Saturday and hopefully I can get my friends D18T running so he'll drive with us to Cali.

To inform You all as well...I'm in the market for a Jim wolf tune as well as 550cc injectors and a Z32 MAF for my next additions to the car...then coupe time
