I hope that was 702 shipped. RHDJapan has them for $640.38+ shipping. I bought my Tomei 270 RB20 cams from them and it was a great deal at the time. The shipping wasn't much but it wasn't fed ex or anything.

Whoa, thats a low price! Thats by far the best price I have seen online. I think when I was looking at them a while ago they were at that $727 price.

I got my pair in a big parts order from Ricky at rawbrokerage.com. I preferred to keep money in the nico rb community since they help sponsor events and such for us (tail of the dragon anyone?). :bigthumb:

It doesn't seem I will be done with it in 2 months. I am trying to squeeze in time to get it done though, but lately it seems there is no time available. Machine shop still has my block/head etc and I still need to put sleeves into the frame rails and weld plates at the mounting points. After that it's tower swaps and rear diff/suspension/subframe mixing and matching. What kind of work you doing to land yourself in Gulfport, MS?

I'm dredging the Gulfport shipping channel. I've already completeld the whole awd/front multi-link swap myself, so if want any insight, let me know. I may also have my car down here eventually as well.

You have a build thread of it? Pictures and methods help with the ideas on the easiest yet proper ways to do some of it. Right now in my head, I know what I am going to do, but sometimes the plans change once you crawl under the car and try to execute that mental image. I haven't even placed the front subframe underneath the car yet to see if it has any 'guide' holes that may help line the sucker up. After I get it bolted up, I should be fine the rest of the way since I did weld up an alignment apparatus for the strut towers. The rest is just laborous drilling and welding (easy part). I plan on keeping the S14 rear subframe. I am just going to swap off the whole spindles and diffs/rear cover, replace hicas ball joint with a non-hicas z32 bushing, etc. Then go clean off the surface rust and spray everything down under the car after I swap the floor pans for the transfer case (if needed). The rest is just wiring and dropping in the motor + welding a transmission mount bracket. I basically just "wing it" as I go to be honest.

No build thread yet. I will some day, but I didn't even really take a lot of pictures of the whole undertaking. It was a lot of work, I can tell you that. Gulf Coast Cruise ftw btw!
