Though there are not many, you are not the only one. I have seen pics or mentions of at least a dozen SR 'verts. They show up on ebay with some frequency.

There have been a few threads on them on this forum a while back. I just don't see a lot of them here.. so it's cool to have the two of you here. Hope to see more of ya!

xxxh28,it kinda sound like a mix between the HSK SSQV and a blitz. Or a better explaination would be, that it sounds like a crack of a whip or a screaming something or other.Personally, I think i'm the only one that doesn't like the whistle from the SSQV or the Greddy, I just don't think the whistle sound is fierce at all. I like the sound like brakes on a big rig. But that's just me!If you want more of an rushing air sound, go with the HKS Super BOV, aka the round one.

Oh, by the way!This is the HKS Super BOV (not Seqential)

Hey hey. Yeah it has been a while since I have been here. My poor car just sits outside under a cover. I had it out last weekend just to start it up since it was nice out. She is still for sale. Someone buy it.

Might make my vert an SR at the end of this summer.Going to help my friend with his swap first then decide.

I did my 5-speed swap almost a year ago.... along with the SR20DET. I LOVE this car, although I haven't been driving it as much during the winter... now that the sun is out, WATCH OUT!

HELP PLEASE.. i'm trying to do a srswap on my convertible.. how did you guys do the heater hoses? i don't want to buy the kit from heavythrottle for $35+shipping.. that's a rip off!!!

Post by **spinout180** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 5:37 pm

I just went down to the local auto parts store and bought some pre-formed hoses that were the right angles then cut them down to work.

And Jason, you want to compare smoke? Hehe... this is from last weekend's drift practice at our local speedway.

How's it a ripoff?

Hell, I'd pay $40 to have a pre-made kit that works.

Post by **Eikon** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 4:35 am

yeah... I'm trying to figure out how you are spending $3000+ on an SR swap and you are complaining about $35 to make your heater work.

I would complain if they were charging $35 for a nut or bolt... but for custom hoses that doesn't seem out of line.

I am working on doing my swap this summer. I found this motor & will be getting it tommorow.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... Q%3AUS%3A1 Only problem is no ECU or wiring harness. I found a couple ECU on ebay but nothing on a wirirng harness. Anyone know where I can find one or both

Rick James says:DAMN, bishez!

Now that's a smoke cloud.I did one a couple of weeks ago, but all the cameras I had screwed up and I waisted a perfectly good set of Coopers for no good reason.Send me a copy of that pic in a big format so I can make it my desktop![email protected]

It sucks because the moment that photo was taken I had the wheels straight, although I was in full drift... it looks like I am not moving. One MOMENT after the shutter clicked one of my rear tires exploded.

Had it a few months so it's still under construction. It will be turbo KA.

Post by **Zadok** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 5:20 am

Hey Kyle,I see you don't have the stupid seatbelts.Did you just take them off with the door panel swap, or did you mount them somewhere?

Thats got to be the best vert I've ever seen. The Silvia front definitely does the trick.

Hey Jason

I drive by your doughnut markings you left over here on Wolf's Church road everyday on my way to work. I still don't see how! Its way too small onf an intersection. It sucks my car is still broke. Some night you need to drive by my work in a big blazing drift, that'll wake me up!!LOL
