Ah, sorry for not getting back to you. Had a misshap on the freeway going 80. Had to get towed home.

5 Speed installed this weekend. Welding the diff soon. Also, the cage was put on the back burner until the next couple weeks. I will post asap on the cage info.

Nice work. Mine had an uh oh to the other day so it's in the shop getting a 5spd transmission in it. I think I am gonna go pignose to. My gf is in love with the pop up lights I like them if they are sleepy eyed but I really like the silvia front ends alot. But the pig nose will make a nice in between I think. Since I like it almost as much as the silvia front.

Same here. That the way to bust lower shifter bushing. You gotta have Cusco aluminum bushing for a long shift knob.

Fail. The whole car = fail. But that's my opinion.

if we're feeling the need to express opinions here... 4x4 ride heights and spaced out sentra wheels fail pretty spectacularly. I don't understand peoples needs to come in someones build thread just to hate, it truly boggles my mind.

I would just like to point out:



Nate, Keep it up. Your car is the only pignose I've even remotely been attracted to.

Haha! Just take a look at the lip when I was test fitting the wheels, you can see where I ziptied a crack back together.

Thank you very much for the compliments.

Plans: Turbo manifold, Injectors, Downpipe and exhaust, gauges, cage, turbo timer, safcII and Bride seat.

how did you dent you piping for your main hoop?????????? I've seen cages fail inspection for dents and dings man, it all depends on who is running tech that day.
