Okay, I think we're getting closer to seeing this baby run! Those BF's are meaty for a reason, GRIP!! So let's hope next update is finally some more than pretty JDM Diva pics.

Not a fan of chrome wheels on a sports car, but that's just my dos centavos.

The wastegate had to be moved to fit into the 240SX engine bay.

Ugh, I hate seeing fully built cars like yours that look like a magazine cover was there reason for creation. No offense to you, but that ride height would have me embaressed, all that work and the car looks like someone with too much money and not enough originality paid someone else to do. Nice car I suppose though.

with that budget you shouldve dropped some

it speaks volumes that you're selling it now.

hey i see that you have a ~10an oil drain on from the head to the sump. do you believe this is necessary on a street car? ive got the same setup on mine now and am removing it due to my belief that the head ran too try and caused the wearing out of my stock cams, which led to it breaking in half. not sure if thats exactly what happened. i do have an N1 oil pump. would it be ok to close this drain off completely?

thanks,John

For 25k that's pretty good. Definitely would cost an arm and a leg to reproduce.

It will be interesting to see what it ends at, and if the buyer actually comes through.

I'm curious as well, have had a ton of emails via Ebay about it, but who knows how many are in a position to truly buy.
