Just like it says in the title! The S14 blacktop has been installed and I love it! I've put 100 miles on it since I picked it up and I'm seriously beat. I'll give you guys the full low down when I wake up in the morning.

I just couldn't wait to post that I have it done!

I gotta get some pics, but I'm very pleased with the setup. It's got the Greddy front mount, dual flex a lite fans that sound like a jet waiting to take off. Last night on my first time taking it out was a lot of fun. I babied the clutch and the car was still really fast!

Here's the setup...nothing exotic, but a decent combo I think:

s14 blacktop w/ VTC workingwalbro 255 l/h fuel pumpGreddy VSPL front mount kitcustom hotpipeGreddy 3" downpipeBlitz DD blow off valveGreddy Profec B Spec 2 boost controller300zx fuel filternew plugsnew beltsresurfaced clutch

and some nice little features:working reverse lightsworking cruise control!custom toggle switch to eliminate speed limiter!!

and later this week:working A/C--waiting on compressorPowerSteering--waiting on belt

The wiring looks so good you don't even notice it. The boost controller matches the Eclipse head unit. And the toggle switch is so well placed that I didn't even see it when I was looking for it!

I'm very pleased with XAT Racing. Taylor and Shuan did an excellent job!!

How the hell did you get your cruise control to work?

Taylor and Shuan at XAT Racing rock dude! I didn't want to sacrifice anything and I told them that I wanted everything working. They hooked that up nicely along with the speed cut remover on a toggle switch. The cruise works very well. I can still accelerate using the buttons on the steering wheel and everything! :rockon

I highly recommend it man. I think I got a special hook up...so I won't disclose how much I spent. I know these guys are reasonably priced because they were $2000 less than the closest competition! The best thing you can do is contact Adam or Casey at http://www.xatracing.com and they'll hook you up! Look a the customer testimonials on their site.

Looks like that cruise control was more trouble than I knew. The guys got it to work, but it was a big hassle. So they have the skills to do it, but probably won't do it again. That makes my car even more unique!! :cool:

It's a wonderful thing to have! I talked to the mechanic today and told him again how much I love it. Imagine hearing your turbo spool just from pushing on the ACCEL button on the wheel, and then hearing the BOV when you hit the CANCEL button!

It was a huge pain in the butt to install though. They said they won't be putting it on another car any time soon. I would suggest you drive down though...what's the deal with no A/C??? Man, I want it all, and I pretty much got it. The only thing I'm missing is my stock fog lights and my windshield washer water tank. Anyone know how to get those back?

Nismo, why don't you just start on the SR now? If you want it so bad, get it. You better off selling the KA for a few extra bucks than throwing it away when you blow it...

you mean you don't have the tank at all? if thats the case you can have mine for whatever it costs to ship.

Well I still own the tank, but where am I supposed to put it? The intercooler piping is in the way. Does anyone else have a front mount with the washer tank installed?
