siiiick!!

Things are getting going now... Yellow said my engine will be here tomorrow. I had planned for Wednesday but I may be able to make tomorrow work, thats if the shop owner where I'm delivering it to is back from vacation. Sound good redneck?

Then NICO, I'll drop it in, put the coils on, and get it fired up over the weekend, drive and let you know how the coils are right out of the box

i think its already in place. my dad has a friend that does pass stickers for 60 bucks. but the cars must be a 1995 or lower.

i realize this is a tad delayed but if ur goin 2 run the cat ont he new engine/exhaust this info will probably help u out. when u get the car running w/ the exhaust i can probably ask my dad to get u a sticker. whens the inspection due?

My 3 months is up Aug. 1st, then I have a free re-inspection which will be good til November 1st, which is beyond the ODB suspected removal time... thanks though

got my engine today!!!! I ordered it from Tiger Japanese on July 4th and got it today, the 8th!!! 4 Day shipping! Engine looks amazing overall, a couple little things like the cover that says "turbo intercooler" is missing and the belts can use a change but other than that I'm in awe. The harness and ECU is all hooked up so it should be an amazingly easy install.

I'm ordering my downpipe soon on eBay from the same seller as my intercooler... "just-intercoolers" despite their name they sell other things

anyone have a BOV for $100 or so? I'll pay shipping, or a cheap downpipe? Again, I'll pay for shipping, but if your local then I can meet you somewhere.

Pics soon to come, but like I said, it looks awesome... now lets hope it cranks over

Yes, it is, and no, it wont

Oh yea, I forgot... the harness came attached to the ECU, all plugged to the engine! I unwrap the beast and was like !!!! that saves sooo much time!

looked around on craigslist and found a knockoff turbo-xs RFL BOV for $40 so I went and picked that up last night, I was going to buy a real one but the kid didnt call me back until after I had bought the fake oh well, my original plan was to get a knockoff anyways right

I'm going to order me downpipe soon from the same seller as my intercooler (just-intercoolers) since their customer service was so awesome, and they have the cheapest dp.

Once the dp comes in it should be up and running and if the engine goes in today the coils will be on sunday.

Engine went in with little problems on thursday, pics later today, up tomorrow. The only trouble was lining up the mounts, but it went well

This week i'm getting the fmic on, having the BOV welded today on lunch, putting the coilovers on and by then the downpipe should be in and I can drive it home, I just need a MAF, mine didnt come with one and I dont think I can wait for shipping... will the KA one work?

Just go to the junkyard(or someplace) after you drop your BOV to get welded during lunch and try and find a Z32 MAF:) your gonna want one eventually anyways, right?

I can't do the whole harness bullsht, I dont want to cut n mess it up, it's been to long without a car to further delay life so on August 4th the car is going to Enhanced Street Performance ( http://www.enhancedstreetperfo....html ) to be harnessed up and ready to drive

me too

The bad thing is I can't even put the coilovers on until after the engine is done because AAA won't tow it because they dont want to damage it... I already only have like 1/4" before the exhaust scrapes when it gets pulled on the flatbed... oh well
