what's so different?? more purple?

you can do it for 3500 if you can do things yourself like make mounts and exhaust work. i have under $2k into mine but i built my own mounts, built my own exhaust, and did all my own wiring.

mounts: 300 (McKinney replicas ebay)
Shifter bracket: 200 (ebay)
Driveshaft: 410 (raw brokerage)
Clutch n flywheel: 450 (competition stage 4 clutch and ultralight flywheel)

Sohc PS lines and resivor: 40 (junkyard)
FPR and gauge: 90 (Fuel labs n marshall)
Stainless fuel lines and AN's and rail adaptor: 270 (earls, jegs racing and ebay)
Headers and modification to fit: 500 (megan racing 350z headers then rebuilt to fit my s14 and clear everything via local fab shop)
