Wow....i've been a member here for over a year and this is my first post....I started this project over a year ago. Progress has been slow until now.So, here we go.....

I have two goals in mind:

1st....it must appear to be as close to stock as possible on the outside.....no body kits, crazy paint or graphics...ect. The two reasons for this....1. the police here are A**holes to pretty much anyone with an "import".....and 2... i have always been more of a "function over form" type guy.

2nd.....Make at least 300whp, be my DD, and tear up the autox course on weekends ....should be easy enough with the setup i'm planning to use. Adjustable suspension will be a must.

These two goals are the reason i decided to name this project..."Sneak Attack"

Anyway....

Here is a list of the mods so far:

* bought but not installed yet** need to buy

Block .020 over....at machine shop right now.Wiseco 9.0 to 1 comp.Eagle rods…Polished head w/ new stainless valvesAll emissions removedT3/T4 turbo 50 trim A/R 60*JGS oil feed and return line*Recirc. Bov *Wastegate**24 x 12 x 3 intercooler*Aluminum under drive crank pulley

Transmission stock:

Stage 4 clutch**Fidanza 11 lbs. flywheelShaftmasters aluminum driveshaft 11 lbs.Stock v.l.s.d

Fuel system and electronics:

780cc injectors** from SLSOBDII to OBDI conversion harness....made it myself for $25S13 tuned ECU.....or maybe Nistune...haven't made up my mind yetWalbro pump**AEM wideband a/f gauge**SAFC II to fine tune ecu**

Suspension, Brakes, and Wheels:

KYB struts front and rearTenzo 2” springs…they suck…looking for something elseZ32 brake calipers front and rearDrilled and slotted rotorsR33 Skyline e-brake cablesZ32 TT 16” x 8.5” wheels225/50 R16 tires20mm H+R spacers

Inside Stuff:

R32 GT-R steering wheelAutometer boost, oil pressure gauges

And paint....someday

This is what i started with....What a mess!

After a year without the motor in the car, it started on the first try and everything on the car worked.

Finally found some headlights, put some drop springs on.

And some z32tt wheels with 20mm spacers.

And now...... on to the engine build.

I bought another KA, N62 maf, an s13 ecu and built my own OBDII to OBDI conversion harness.



It's ugly, but not for long....



Pulling off all emissions....



I still have to close off the holes....

I tapped and plugged the PCV ports.

And capped this as well....forgot what it is called (and too tired to look it up).

I also cleaned up the timing covers and gave them a fresh coat of Dupli-color Aluminum engine enamel.....turned out better than i expected.

Pretty much finished up my intake mani....at least as much as i can until i pick up some fuel line and some bigger injectors. Blocked off the egr, tapped the mani right behind the throttle body for a boost gauge line.





That's it for now, at least until the block is done.

Here is a look at the only vaccum lines i have left on the mani....one for the fpr and one for the brake booster line.I would have put the fuel lines on, but i somehow ended up with the wrong size



This is probably gonna be hard to hide...

I haven't really got alot done this week....i have been working alot and just didn't feel like working on it when i did get home. I did test fit the intercooler and it's gonna fit better than i thought...and it will be completely hidden once it is black..... It will need to be moved up about 2" and brackets fab'd up but that won't be too hard.





I also started working on another conversion harness cause i sold my other one.







Later....
