nice, but you're missing 4 cylinders and 2.5 litres.

[newbissan-tech]

you have a very good point, but i think it will have the cajones to pull the 450sx to import alliance this year! if i get around to rebuilding my spare vh ill throw it in there! should be fun either way!

[LEMHEAD16]

truck looks good, although I am partial to it because my dd is the exact same. minus the essssrrrrrrrr.

How does the truck feel with that motor?

[Carl H]

probably like a truck, less the 127hp ka-e that was in it lol.

[LEMHEAD16]

127 is generous

[newbissan-tech]

well as of right now it doesn't feel good at all with the rod knockin but that will be fixed soon, it came with an extra engine that was torn down and i just ordered forged internals, and am currently in the process of building it up! so should be fun with about 350-400 ponies out of a fully built sr! ( i hope) and as for the 450 it's currently at my buddy stu's getting a custom dual 3" exhaust built from all 304 stainless, i chose to do away with the pypes x pipe that i purchased cause it was cheap stainless, so cheap that a magnet would stick to it! stu is a bad@$$ fabricator and tig welds all of his work and prefers to only work with stainless! so the exhaust should be pretty sick! he is also fabbing up a low mount alt bracket for me! when he is done ill post up his work! i can't wait you guys will flip over his work, puts alot of well known fabricators work to shame! update pics to come soon!

[newbissan-tech]

update kids the exhaust is done! pics

[swade]

Stewart Metalworks FTW

Gosh I love his work

swade

[LEMHEAD16]

WOWZERS!!

[1sxy240]

I have been following gsracer's build and your build and they are amazing. I plan on getting a daily soon and doing this swap in my s14. I love the exhaust and all the work you two do, it is simply amazing.

[newbissan-tech]

hey 1sxy240 you live in dallas? i was just there for training last week, when i get the car done i'll bring it down there, you'll have to show me around! thanks for the kind words everyone!

[1sxy240]

Yes I do, I actually worked at Trophy Nissan for awhile, but I managed to f*** that deal up that was my first job doing hand-on with cars, the rest of them have been service advisor jobs. But I learned my lesson, NEVER EVER work on 2 cars at once...

[newbissan-tech]

gotta learn to multi task that will come with experience! !

[Carl H]

looks like some awesome fab work on the exhaust there.

[newbissan-tech]

too bad it's not my own work but i have no problem with saying that because this guy's work is so legit. stu or stewart metalworks. He's about an hour from where i live and the drive was worth it for the quality of work he performed! props to stu!

[merve0o0]

Love that exaust. im 80% decided to put a VH41 into my S15 Silvia.

bought the car planning to put a VQ35 in it (after hearing SGMotorsports headers), but i think the VH will be easier. also here in NZ the VH gets used in stock car racing so there is lots of knowledge about them.

will be following this thread. also loving the Truck, what are they called over there. they are navara's over here.

[newbissan-tech]

the trucks state side are called hardbody's and in 98' they changed the name to frontier! thanks for the kind words!

[newbissan-tech]

ok here's a short video clip, please don't pay any attention to the grab a**!

so i ordered my throttle cable from infiniti and it was backordered and had to come from the motherland (japan), it just came in last week and i installed it a couple nights ago. so now when i rev it up i don't have to get out of the car! and i just finished plumbing my brake lines to fit the 300z master cylinder. now i just have to plumb the power steering and mount the radiator to get it road ready. update old pics but just forgot to load them up.




here's the alternator bracket!


and the exhaust mounted on the car!

[tmorgan4]

Nice!! I was keeping an eye out for a throttle cable since I know how frustrating it is not being able to find simple parts. Glad you found one.

I've been meaning to ask if you were still planning on making the oil filter tree adapters....I'm definitely going to need one when I do my dry sump if you can make another.

[newbissan-tech]

i am sir i just purchased 2 cnc milling centers and we finished setting them up and getting them under power last weekend. just waiting on the odds and ends like tooling and a vices for the machines!

[newbissan-tech]

update i finally got my core support out to the guy that did my exhaust and he customized it an made mounts for the radiator and the oil and p.s. coolers! not my work but just in a hurry for import alliance. the car is at sandblasting and going to the body shop this week for paint!

[Carl H]

good choice on mocal units, great gear even tho its a bit pricy.
looking good thus far man.
