wowie wow wow, I want an update lol

[Scott Buwalda]

Hey guys:

Figure end of June/early July for the goods to be exposed in full. Till then, we'll continue wrking on her, and can't be revealed until every last detail has been covered.

This will be the first place I post pics though, so stay tuned.

Thanx for everyone's compliments. A hella lot of work you're looking at here...

Scott

[gawdzilla]

got those hoses, scott? please see a few posts back. thanks.

[Scott Buwalda]

Ooops, sorry man. Nope, I don't have the OEM hoses anymore...

Scott

[unstable240]

I have pics I have been sitting on of this since the install. I have been wanting to post them so badly but Scott said we had to wait. This car is so rediculous I pissed myself when I saw it...

[Scott Buwalda]

Hey unstable...things have progressed solidly since the engine install. I have spent the last two days wiring up the accessory power functions and testing everything. I figure we'll begin final asembly of the interior later this month. We have a get-together with a bunch of guys on June 24-26 to finish up any and all final details. By then, all that I figure will need to be done will be final details and engine tuning. Keeping fingers crossed for a debut in early to mid July.

How do you think people will react to the back window? LOL

Scott

[unstable240]

Sweet deal mang. I want to see that thing run. I can't imagine the amount of wiring that has to go into that thing. As for the back window I still watch the video I have of it, and it never gets old. I think when they see it they will say you are a mad scientists bent on destroying the world...

[Scott Buwalda]

Mad scientist! I like that!

It's maddening alright!!

Scott

[BomexS13]

that thing is beautiful..

[BomexS13]

is your RB from an R33? HOw much total did it cost your for just the install, no turbo upgrades or anything..

[Scott Buwalda]

I honestly have no idea. If I did, I'd be divorced and be on Prozac.

Scott

[Ramius83]

Scott, isn't it from an R32? I think I remember you saying something like that.

Tomorrow, I am starting up my RB26 for the first time. I will probably be scared as hell and puckering the ole' bung hole lol, hoping to GOD that it starts.

If I get it running, I'll bring it to you and let you see anything else that you need to look at that you said you needed from me.

[Audi180]

that thing is beautifull!i also have that timing cover...where can i get those hoses from?

this engine bay is the most amazing thing i have ever seen

[gawdzilla]

scott or anyone else who knows:

where did you get the r34 spark plug emblem ornament cover? mine got shredded when i pulled it off.

[Scott Buwalda]

Got mine straight from Japland. 7,000 Yen plus shipping...

Scott

[gawdzilla]

thanks scott. price seems about right to what i'm getting on my searches

[Ramius83]

Do one of you guys want to hook a brotha' up with one of those R34 ornament covers? I don't have the connections to get one from JapLand, nor can I speak Japanese.....

[Ramius83]

Nevermind. I found one at RBMotoring for $65.00 plus shipping.

[Florida240sx]

That is just pure hotness.

[gawdzilla]

yup sorry for the late reply, that was where i was gonna order from.

[JonPowell]

Guys, I have a "hook up" in Japan if you need anything.

[PantherRacer]

I want a S13 Silvia and an R32 RB28DETT(nope not a typo:D)...

I'll pay you back when I get the money

ok, how about just a reasonable S13? ummm under $2156US ? lol

[BomexS13]

from that pic it looks like you had alot polished and replaced your hoses with stainless braid lines...do you have any other shots of you engine? I need an inspiration pic...

[JonPowell]

I have a hook up for part, thats it. Not importing engines or cars yet

[Scott Buwalda]

Jon:

Help a brotha out. The last cossmetic thing I need for my engine is the "Twin Turbo" logo on the turbo hot pipe. New or used (used that can be cleaned up to the same level as the engine). None of my Jap contacts want to deal with something as small and unimportant as a logo, and the New Zealanders and Australians at skylinesdownunder.com are just plain ignoring me.

OK guys, let me get the loose ends tied up on the MAFS and MAFS adapters, and I will post more pics soon. Hang tight.

Oh, and on another, unrelated note, the Z32 HKS metal MAFS adapters turned out to be a massive, and expensive joke. Yes, they bolt up to the Z32 MAFS, all right, but I didn't realize you'd need a 4" coupler and a 4" filter to make 'em work. Ridiculous....these things are more than 1/2" thick. I have had to resort to eBay-level MAFS adapters. Anyone need HKS Z32 MAFS adapters and a pair of Vibrant 3" to 3.5" couplers? I paid $165 for the set. Make me an offer!

Scott

[Ramius83]

Scott, do you still need that starter looked at? Call me at (404) 372-4730.......

[gawdzilla]

FYI - rb motoring's all out of the ornaments said try back in 1-2 weeks

scott i can get you the p/n for the TWIN TURBO thingie if you don't already have it. that way its easier to hook up w/ whoever to order the part.

edit- part number is 13291-05u10

SICK looks like a show car pic out of some Jap mag

[Scott Buwalda]

Hey mang:

Thanx for the offer...and sorry I haven't called. I am being pulled every which way with this car. We are finishing off the interior build *next weekend*. So, around June 28th or 29th, I'll be getting with you. In the meanwhile, when are you driving that thing 15 miles north for me to see it?
