drop top.. Welcome to NICO!

Great to have you on board. I'm drooling over your engine bay! One day maybe I'll ditch the RB20 and upgrade to it's big brother.

Everything looks fantastic so far.. Like it was designed to sit in that engine bay.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. We've got a fantastic RB forum as well.. so if you have any engine specific questions, check out that section.

Keep up the good work, and keep us updated on the project.

Bye the way.. you gotta bring that sucker to NOPI nationals in Atlanta this Sept.

to answer your questions i am running all of mckinney motorports mounts and downpipe. i also am using the rb25 transmission with a custom aluminum drive shaft from driveshaft shop. but the mackinney downpipe is actually notched out to clear the steering shaft. it might be a little restricted but for stock turbos and flow it should be fine i hope. and no i havent started the car yet i am waiting for a couple of parts

And just so you know, KTS is based in Taiwan. It even says so on your lower brackets (at least it does on mine).

lol, Joey, my name is Charles. I'm good friends with Jeff, Marshall, and Nick. I go to the events in MB all the time. Funny thing is, I was on the way to MB to look at the car the same day you bought it, lol. Anyway, I'll see you around man. Keep us posted on your car.
