Hey guy just wanted to post a little progress. It took about 5 mins to drop Nate's motor back in and then we started on my clip. we got the monster 6 out and today started stripping the front of the s14 and might get the KA out tomorrow. Gotta paint the engine bay and a few other little things but I can't wait to see the RB sitting in there with that huge custom intake and TB. anyways heres what I got so far.

oh yeah and I had to roast the old tires on the stock 4 lug rims since they'll never touch the ground again, and accidently ripped up a little concrete lol but was wondering if anyone else had a smoke feast on there old tires before the 5 lug swap?

4 PICTURES WAIT TO LOAD

no fooling. I did the 4 jackstands and engine hoist method. Wasn't pretty.

Glad to see the progress. It's a hell of a fun ride when finished.

Yeah I got lucky as hell because I was going to pick up my clip on a friday and I got in touch with nate (who turns out to be RBTALLY with the s13 everybody is asking about on the engine bay pic thread) and he wanted to help me out so i was allllll for it. And he has the fork lift, and car lift. its a lot better then what I had planned to use (jack stand, engine hoist, and knee pains lol) He going to make me a custom intake like the one in his engine bay pic, custom mounts, intercooler piping and end tanks, and a few other goodies. If I get anywhere near the numbers he is putting down I'd be happy!

the valve covers and timing belt cover are probably going to be silver and the car is going to be silver from the windows downs and black from the windows up... Thats just an idea. and when i say silver it will probably be closer to gunmetal. not sure. but I'll post more pics as we get there. I could drop the motor in this week but I'm going to take the time to paint the engine bay and clean everything up.

p.s. anyone know where I can get some R33 GT-st upgraded rotors since they aren't the same size as the Z32 like i thought they were

Thanks for viewing

yeah hopefully no one steals my idea lol j/k but I think I'm going black and silver all over, so like i said the windows up would be black and windows down would be silver, and the rims will be black and the caliper the same silver. And the valve and timing covers silver with the ignitor cover still black. I think that would be pimptastic
