Last and final turbo for the kit is in the mail.

However, since I'm going to be doing alot more bussiness then originally planned, custom kits and such, I'm investing in some new shop equipment. I'm purchasing my own hydraulic mandrel bender, laser aligned drill press, plasma welder and a ton of assorted goodies to go with.

So I have a full up speed shop here real soon. I had to talk the wife out of a Jacuzzi and 2 quads we had originally planned on buying. You have no idea how much indebt I am now...lol.

I'll have other items for sale before the kits actually come out. Ranging from Alcohol/water injection to top feed fuel rails. All of which should be well under the current market price.

Well ain't this some shiot right here, seems as if someone might be getting a little scared of some competition, our thread of our completed turbo kit was deleted by a mister WDRacing, due to the fact that we aren't a sponsor of the site. But the way to get some real biz, is to delete your sompetitions posts. I think everyone should know whats out on the market.

Well Mister WD, I don't see WDRacing as a sponsor on the side, wheres a link to your shops site? Here's ours link... http://www.nocommercialposting.comSo how is it that you can put post's up advertising your kit even though you're not a sponsor, you're a mod, not a sponsor!

Also where are some pics of your 240, or any of your work? I haven't ever seen any, do you even have one, or are you some F'N 15 year old MutherFuker who knows how to read and play around on a computer.

Come'on WD show us some of your stuff!

Listen you pompous a**. I'm not a 15 year old punk. I'm 30, have been in the USAF for 11 years, I'm a veteran of 3 foriegn wars and do car tuning on the side. When I came to NICO there was alot of talk by members looking for a cheap turbo kit, mostly guys wanting a DIY setup, but can't weld. Well I can weld and have a always been interested in making cars go faster.

Don't insult my charecter, you don't know me.

By the way, I am a paying sponsor. If you don't believe me, you can simply email Greg (AZHitman) the owner of the site. He can tell you whatever he pleases.

My turbo kit for the S14 is under construction, I have takin no ones money and have told no one any exact dates as to when they will be ready. Most people understand what its like to design somthing thats repeatable while maintaining a full time job and dealing with deployments to the darker places of society. So you should actually thank me for the right to post on this forum since I'm putting my a** on the line to provide you just such freedoms.

Another reason there's no link smart guy...is my website isn't done. I don't concentrate on a website when advertising somthing that isn't finished is futile. The main reason I make updates is because I get a ton of email traffic asking me how things are going and if I will post any new info.

As for you wondering about what I drive or have driven...plz. I feel no need to justify anything to you. I spent the last 6 years in Japan racing Skylines and Silvia's. I was one of the first pioneers on Okinawa to run an alcohol injected RB20.

I have no problem with other companys selling product. I never have. I don't bash other company's either. I will however present facts to members who request information. But that is all, I don't offer opinions that would reflect poorly on me or anyone else's bussiness.

You might want to consider somthing along the same lines.

If you would like to further this dispute, plz feel free to email me. And do check on my sponsor status.

Brian Falla, WD

Eric, I'm sorry you feel I deleted your thread in favor of advertising my own Kits. Although I already have several other threads existing about said kits. We on NICO have had several problems with members advertising as of late, whether it being members getting ripped off, or sponsorship deals falling through. None of which really concerns you I understand, but rules are rules.

If you are unbelieving, simply email Greg like I said in my earlier post.

I look forward to seeing your kits come out in the future. The public in general deserves plenty of choices. I also like some healthy competition between fellow speed shops. Since my personal goal involves having the fastest KA 240 in the world, I'm sure I'll run into someone from your shop eventually in some type of competition, friendly by my choice.

I have alot of friends out your way at Moody AFB, who might possibly need a shop to install or perform custom tuning. So burning bridges is never a good thing my friend.

If your going to the National 240SX meet in LV in August, I'd be more then happy to discuss any difference of opinion over a few beers. Or we can simply have it out on the race track.

This thread is getting off topic. Lets try to keep things straight. Its a simple update to whats going on with my shop and up and coming kits.

WOW sounds like BigE is a little nervous. What is the big deal? You sure talk a big game, but when I checked out your site, I got about 400 pop-ups for NAMBLA. I am a good friend of WDRacing and I have been to some of the armpits of the world with him. We both had R32 Skylines in Japan. Both of which were runnning the hell out of the locals. So please just sit back and have your *** handed to you as we finish the cars under his logo. Stay tuned friends, its about to get really ugly.

to steer the thread back on track; so since ur waiting on the turbo, has the other prototypes of parts been made? or is that what the tools are for? any plans for a mild internally wastegated setup, or strictly external?

Internal wastegates lend themselves to poor mounting issues. Not to mention they are about the same price as the external. Which I can get in anything from 4 psi to 25 psi if you so desire.

The tools are for making my own tubular manifolds and IC/exhaust piping, fuel rails and assorted plumbing that goes with.

The only thing made right now is the fuel rail, 3/4's of the IC piping and IC placement is done. I need the turbo for the rest.

Here's an idea for you WD... Something that I always wished someone would do...

On you turbo kits you should have choices (like drop down selections) to choose if you want the uber manifold or the simple cast one... also things like chose to have an intercooler... or if they don’t select one it limits there purchase of waste gates to like 6psi and under...

Also things like... Offer a pre painted intercoolers... In a choice of colors or just black... and add a longer ship time to complete the work... Same with cold pipe and hot pipes...

You could also offer the kit with the option of a blow through MAF... Then be able to select the BOV that’s vents to air...

Its just an idea... I know this would add allot of overhead...

Eric and I have talked and have agreed that it was just a misunderstanding on both parts, So no further posts about any of the above need to be made. Eric is most likely going to become a sponsor real soon and will benefit the site alot with his experience in boosting the KA.

These are very good ideas my friend. Somthing I can easily accomodate. Being able to do custom work is somthing small bussiness's like my own will always have over Greddy and the like. If anyone wants a custom setup I'm quite sure I can accomodate.

Things like the MAF being run in a pull through fashion is somthing I will be doing to my own car, but am not sure everyone will want the same thing, since I can make a extended harness and easy DIY wiring diagram, the user will still have to solder the MAF plug in place. That scares alot of people, but I suppose I could make it an option.

The other stuff is easy, no IC or custom color size shouldn't be a problem.

I will only be offering log style at first, I haven't even started to design a tubular yet, but I will for sure, since I'll be making one for my own car at the very least.

I'm also looking into a new intake manifold, somthing very similar to the Veilside Mani for the Supra. ALthough with this mani you'll totally have to bypass any emissions and anthing other the throttle body. But thats also down the road. I need to get a base kit out first. Its so hard to stay focused and not get 12 projects going at once.

BigE - *I* moved your thread, as it is in violation of our policy on commercial posting. And apparently, you KNEW that. So what's your beef with WD?

If you have a problem with it, or if you'd like to promote your product here, feel free to email me.

Our members are VERY loyal to the advertisers who keep NICO up and running. So WD's right - Burning bridges is foolish (and has actually cost a few of our ex-advertisers their business) - We are a force to be reckoned with, it'd be wise to make friends here.

Brian has been a PAYING advertiser for almost 2 years. And he pays every month, without a link, a website or anything. I guarantee he's spent far more than he's made.

We didn't get to be the largest Nissan resource on the internet by not knowing how to run a forum.

Your personal attack on him and the name calling is the most chilish, classless thing I've seen in a LONG time. Not cool at all.

You owe WD an apology.

I'll expect it soon, or consider yourself no longer welcome here.

He emailed me already Greg, we have completely worked out our differences and plan to discuss future KA building over a few beers in LV if they can make it out.

No harm no foul in my eyes.

Well done.

If anyone EVER questions the integrity and maturity of our Moderator staff, they need look no further than this thread to see the truth. Good work Brian.

We're a pretty forgiving bunch.

Still, it must suck to get :owned like that, bet that foot tasted gross. Does he want us to clean up the thread?

I just wanna say my part.

Brian is a very cool guy. He's been working with me on turboing my S13 DE for a lil while I now, I know its been kinda rough with the whole turbo supplier issue (etc), but he sticks to his word and then some. His determination to get these kits going is indeed uncanny considering he has other, more important things to worry about.

Im glad things are starting to come together and that your wife is so...understanding ;)

BTW- I think we should clean up the thread. Seeing as they worked out their differences and are on good terms, it would be wise to delete bigEs posts pre-apology so other people don't jump to a bad first impression.
