After trying to sell, I decided to keep it and put some work into it. As of now this is how it sits.

RB25DET Swap Runs PerfectMcKinney Motor and transmission MountsMcKinney DownpipeMcKinney Steel One Piece Driveshaft3" Testpipe and CatbackMcKinney IntercoolerGreddy type RS BOVRB Gauge Cluster



Parts just order:Z32 MAFIntake ManifoldJim Wolf Clutch/FlywheelJim Wolf Tuned ECUJim Wolf 55 lb MSD InjectorsQ45 Throttle BodySAFCMcKinney RadiatorGarrett GT3076R TurboBuddy Club Spec II ExhaustKAAZ 2 Way LSDStance GR+ Coilovers38mm Tial Wastegate

Getting ready to pull the motor again, paint the motor and do a wire tuck. Then all the parts should go on.

Now, I know I am going with the Kouki front end conversion but I'm debating on which body kit to go with. Sooo, any ideas would be appreciated on that. Also, I want to get some wheels with a nasty lip on them, but don't require widebody. ( Not a widebody fan). Sooo, again... any help from you guys would be helpful.

When I pull the motor and start on my stuff I will post pictures of progress.

**EDIT**: After seeing a few pictures of verts with the kouki front, it looks as if they all are widebody some.. and they didn't look that bad (at least the ones that weren't crazy wide). So I may consider it, but not sure on how wide to go.

Nice looking car. that interior looks really good. Not stock, but looks like it could be. Nice clean swap too.

I'm shocked you haven't heard of them.

Probably the biggest supplier of RB engine mounting hardware, etc.

I've never been interested in RB anything for myself, so none of my searching or browsing has ever run me into McKinney before. I may have skimmed over the name and not remembered from reading a magazine mod list or something...

I checked them out after searching and finding them. They've got some SWEET looking hardware for doing RB swaps, but it seems a bit pricey. I'm sure it's worth it if you don't have the tools and skills to make the parts yourself, but for someone like me (I have access to both) it might save some time, but not sure if it's worth the money.

Regardless, props on a very fine vert. As always, more pictures would be great!

I'll get more pictures up soon as parts start coming in. And when I pull the motor to start on some work.
