Long time lurker 1st Post

Just wanted to say Hey.
I was reading Hijackers thread on the DIY: Rebuilding an SR20DET and joined to possibly pick his brain later.
Soon I'll have to put my build on hold and move it from Indiana to Virgina (2nd time moving while having the car apart).
Here are a couple pics of my ride.
Started here:


And have progressed to here


the Inside


I'm down to freshening up my SR20DET and installing it, and a couple loose ends.
What do you guys think?

[EnjoiNismo]

Loooks good, very clean!
Your car reminds me of mine
Welcome.

[Hijacker]

Looks good so far. You moving to Yorktown? When?

[DrFrankenstine]

Yeah... I've got an interview in Newport News this Friday, so if every thing goes as planned 2 weeks after that. REALLY looking forward to it!

[Morph]

Looks great. I would suggest freshining the engine before installing as well as getting a S14 Sr water neck and deleting the coolant line around the back of the engine while its out.

Otherwise great start.

If you're gonna be around Saturday, there's a nissan meet planned out at Mt Trashmore.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I'm planning on new gaskets, bearings, and rings. Is there a thread about rerouting the coolant lines? I'm a freeze baby so I'm not going to bypass the heater core...

[Morph]

Oh no you dont have to bypass the heater. I'll take a quick look and see if i can find it.

Thanks, I was looking at that earlier and was thinking it was going to be a HUGE pita

I won't be able to go on the cruise, but would like to meet you guys. Would it be better to meet up at the AMC 24 or Mount Trashmore?

[Hijacker]

We're caravaning to Trashmore from the AMC. So it's up to you.

[breadbox]

Mt. Trashmore at noon-1pm be there. Doesn't really matter if you cruise out with people or not.

And Pics of the 280z, plz.
