ok zilvia members,
some of you have been asking me through email and AIM about my car. so to answer all your question, i might as well give an update.
Well as many know, i through a rod bearing and caused the motor to be almost trash because of the nickel running through the oil system and killing anything that moved. also the head and block was cracked. so i started with a fresh block and head. i got the jwt cams resmoothed so the journals match up.
But there is great news now, the motor is finally done and ready to be dropped in the car, after many problems i ran into, its on its way to being alive again. i also changed some other things in the process. i had the I/C pipes chromed and the intake and valve cover polished. i also change the turbine housing to a .82a/r. i also added an Apexi S-AFC to fine tune the JWT ECU.
I also finally put in the LSD rear end and subframe spacers and change the exhaust to an Apexi N1. as for the exterior, i still have the cheezy VIS R33 front for now but as for my winter project, I will be going with the INGS Type-r Kit and repainting the car a different color.

For suspension, i finally put in the sportlines, but will be getting Tein Basics when they get released. I am also currently putting in the Z32 brakes.

As for the interior, i just finished with Sparco seats and redoing my glove box with gauges. i will have pics by this weekend to post.

BUT YAY ITS ON ITS WAY!!!! FINALLY

thanks for your time

Jeff

Ouch, no wonder it's been this long. That gives new meaning to the term "catastrophic engine failure" :D

Great job and getting it back up and running.
