as you can see it did look nice i got bored one night and decided to do some body repair and was going to seal up the popups with nothing underneath then decided to do 300zx headlights then primered the car.

it came with some apexi gt cams and some valve train what im not sure though. its running lower compression than the other rb i stuck in the s14 the other day so i took the oil pan off and it has aftermarket rods.. i got lucky. the first sign it was messed with was when i got it the bolts holding the turbo to exhaust manifold and manifold to turbo were all loose. so i poped the valve cover off and WALA cams imagine the smile on my face. i was so mad i thought it had bad compression cause it was a bit lower than the other engine then after dchecking them all and them being the same and it running fine I was back to smiling again. anyway, this should be a quick car its completely gutted down to the floor pans and all just sheetmetal. anyway let me know what you think. btw im running a t3/t4 57trim with a 48 exhaust and 50 compressor. all i need is my turbo back on it and some injectors and a power fc.

I made it. I offered to sell some if anyone wanted one but no one wanted to buy one so i just left the one on my car and didnt make anymore. Its not hard to make, I use to make the ka ones all the time but I dont know anyone who wants to buy them. anyway, btw I couldn't get it to let me post more than one pic at a time I dont know why.

with the ka on 125shot in every gear I could only get a 11.9 best with some mt slicks. im hoping since the rb is pretty stout and already modded and I have a decent setup and the car is lighter now it should be considerably faster. I have a rb26 in a 95 s14 with a powerglide sitting in my home town at my buddies house I need to get over here and finish up but dont have time right now i'll post some pics of that up one of these days. i got the 26 from flashoptions and it took 17 months before I saw anything and that was after lots of b.s. I got it wired up in the car and running but it wont stay on the ecu kept going into limp mode and shutting off dont know why but when I get it up here i'll start working on it and post pics and info.

nice car, really nice.

so you would make that ka intake mani for $225? hmm....you should start thinkin about makin'em again cause it seems like people want'em now.(i might have to think about 1 of those also, when i get my turbo)

another thing, i also have an S13 and was thinkin of takin off the popup hl and puttin some like yours, so the 300zx fit? there any mods you should do like cuttin & welding?

the 300zx dont fit by far, i chopped my rad support c/f hood, etc... it took alot to make it fit and honestly even though it does look nice i wouldnt do it again. unless of course i was getting paid for it. =) anyway, the intakes yes I can make them if anyone wants one let me know i'll get pics of the rb one so that people can see it better. the ka one i made before wasn't as good as the ones i make now that was a hmm lets try this idea. worked but wasn't as nice looking as what i wanted. as far as th e intakes from thailand those are crappy talk about leaning out some cylinders..lol. I was thinking about it and started researching and found a guy from australia who had done one and burned up his #6 cylinder so after that i was like no way.. the ones i make bolt right up no problem no modification needed.

i take it that you have to take out all the EGR crap if you put that intake mani, right?(i still have to pass emissions, tho i could probably find somebody to pass'em for me)

rci 12gal fuel cell, msd external fuel pump good for 600hp, and I had rubber specialties do my lines. I cut out the whole rear area and put a 16guage diamond plate aluminum sheet there talk about a weight difference.

should be good for close to 800hp if pushed that far it has a 4" inside diameter. I have talked to several gear heads about it and its a fairly safe design.
