Yes, that and the easy addition of an anti-roll bar, and that it's all billet aluminum.

I like that you still have the camber plates to adjust in front, so you can mess with camber/caster more.

I also plan on doing the occasional track day, which I'll probably install anti-roll bars for, so having the hole already there is nice.

I do plan on getting the Wisefab rear kit though, that thing is beautiful, and makes a lot of sense to me. I really like the way Illyuk's car looks when it drifts now.

Just started a new job, so I haven't had much time to work on the car unfortunately. Started on the wiring today though.

Mock up:

Different routing and marking how things need to be shortened.

It's hard to capture how much flake is in the intake manifold.

I see more big things coming. Good Luck!

irritatedmax 05-04-2013 05:37 PM

The old setup was super crazy and awesome from a build standpoint, but I see this VQ setup being no headaches and fun fun fun!

1jzjoey 05-04-2013 09:42 PM

Yessir, that's what the build section is for. There are only a few in here that are actually complete.

Tank_4g63 05-05-2013 09:48 AM

Yeah but the rules, and I didnt know this myself seeing as it is a bit unique, is that your not supposed to post up a build unless your finished. I posted mine up having skimmed through the rules.

Your swap is coming together nicely.

Thanks guys. I'll probably throw the harness in after work and see if everything reaches :wiggle:

Can't wait for Friday! Until then I'm looking around for seats.

Man that 4G compound set-up was nasty! What option were you going with for motor mounts?

racso_dor 05-26-2013 04:41 PM

any updates so far ?

They were custom mounts I made.

Yessir. I got my seat in. Procar Drifter (cheesy name), It's nice and stiff and wide enough for me. Padding seems comfy so far and the vinyl has a nice texture to it. Plus it was dirt cheap. It'll do for now.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...pscbfd9dd9.jpg

Got some of the fittings in for my cooling system.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ps34a64d7f.jpg

I also got my shifter, Wilwood superlite w/350z rotor brackets in, as well as some hardware and my fuel return fitting.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ps00f29d4f.jpg

There have been a few delays with my TDP kit, all of which have been understandable and have been communicated promptly. The owners father died :(, and then the CNC machine broke when machining my S13 spindles (they normally come with S14/15 sized ones). So the kit is supposed to ship out tomorrow via 2-day air, so I'll have it Friday at the latest.

DJPimpFlex 05-31-2013 05:19 PM

Yeah kind of. It's something like $2440 shipped two day air from Ireland. It fluctuates depending on how much your bank wants to screw you with the exchange rate :eek3d:

The adjust-ability and massive roll center correction got me ;)

DJPimpFlex 05-31-2013 05:53 PM

Good lord there's a fire! Yea that set up is super geek..Love it.

Right on man, are you Levi with the red S14? If so your KA is still going strong in my old coupe!


Wow! Those are some nice pieces :eek3:

Haha yeah, it's hard to find fault with this kit. Anything you want your car to do this setup can do.

My ECU just got back from Z1 yesterday with the NATS removed, and my Stance subframe risers are coming in tomorrow.

Some wiring and fuel lines and this thing should fire up!

PoorMans180SX 06-03-2013 06:19 PM

More billet aluminum to add to the stockpile.

Damn those are some nice shiney suspension pieces! Too rich for my blood. Everything looks good, lets get it on the car already...

jesteratc 06-04-2013 01:38 PM

What Transmission were you going to use with the 4g63 swap? The one from the Mighty Max?

PoorMans180SX 06-04-2013 03:21 PM

I was going to use a Bill's Auto Fab bellhousing and T56 trans from a LT1 Camaro.

mad-ass 06-04-2013 03:57 PM

your thread title is very misleading. LOL!

looks promising so far!
