theres no copying involved when you are one of two with it. id say its like "dual invention" cant wait to see this thing. you need nismo aero parts for that thing. those look awsome. and oldschool momo 2 piece meshies. or nismo wheels. that would work too.

Copying Nissan, they already did it, ZR200. They didn't have to jump through the hoops you guys did though so these two cars get tha luv. I am always impressed by the lengths people go to to get these swaps done. I wouldn't have the patience to deal with a niche motor like an RB in the states. I would likely go KA or VH just so I wouldn't have to wait for my replacement parts to make it across the ocean in the rectum of a chinese boat refugee and funneled from the port via hidden compartment in an unregistered car next to some mexican green to my nearest bodega for purchase in money without consecutive serial numbers.

yeah, but thats what makes it so appealing. i guess the "jdm" fad is all based on the smell of inside a small chinese mans bum.

i would like to see the people who "import" front clips. i guess out of work sumos can still make it, huh.

Its a 200ZR and they came only with a RB20DET, not a rb25det. So I dont think I copied Nissan at all.

Replacement parts are rather easy to come by anymore, and at about the same or less cost as the VG30DETT/Z32 parts. But I love your iteration of smuggling!

There are a couple of those in the current Goo magazine I picked up this after noon. A red one for about 450,000 and a black one for 300,000.

No I have never smuggled anything, I hate crossing the border though. They always search me. N1 water pumps are redily available for under $150. Clicky If you know Shae as well as I do he will give an even better price. Nismo shifters, they will take a little longer through him though. About 2-3 weeks. Why doesnt anyone know about http://www.nismoparts.com?

Dane that sux to hear about tuning factory, Light a fire under their butts. I am sure you want to drive it at least once this year!

With all those mods you should be well above 300whp. I have seen quite a few with just fmic and a few more psi (11-12psi) making those numbers.

i hope so. my only concern is that the intake manifold and the Q45 TB take away from a quick spool. no worries once i upgrade the turbo though.
