good points...but peak power usually comes at the cost of response.

response is key for drifting...and a twin turb'd v8 actually retains a little response, whereas the RB26 doesn't have AS much off boost torque

man, this build is what everybody dreams of.
its like, your living our fantasy sir. haha

SexPanda · 08-05-2008, 10:23 PM

Wow. Your doing all that stuff at the Auto Craft Shop over there across the sea right?

How about you come to Ft Leonard Wood and We'll show you what a real auto craft shop looks like! (sarcasm)

We have nothing. 8 Tool carts, 6 flat bays, 4 lifts, and an engine crane. Thats about it... Its a good job tho. Im not complaining lol (more sarcasm)

More pics coming later on as I have finally got most of the pieces for the dash cut out and sized. I will mock it all up today, make sure it fits together well and will see if one of my friends will let me borrow a tig welder, since the one at the shop is down. The dash is going to get powder coated in a wrinkle Black powder once it is done but there are a few more things that need to be done before I call it a finished product.

The wheels were delivered yesterday as well, and damn they are fucking cool, I got some pics of those.

YEs it does, if you are going to keep your interior, but when everything is going to be flat surfaced aluminum or Carbon Fiber I will go with the Aluminum dash. I had originally planned to go with a carbon S15 dash but making the mold and getting it correct was a pain in the ass plus it had to many meaningless curves and the AC vents would have needed to be removed which spelled more worthless work and the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze, F all that, the aluminum dash is much cooler in a project like this and I am liking this approach much much more.

DOOK · 08-08-2008, 06:19 PM

god damn it man... get the fuck on with finishing this bitch so we can all see it... I mean fuck, let's go

I wish it was that easy dude. I would have finished it already, but timing and money are the biggest factors of all right now.

JRas · 08-08-2008, 06:47 PM

awesome choice in wheels

this car is going to be ill

CursedGTR · 08-09-2008, 04:39 AM

Dash is mocked up and pretty much complete. It is time to weld it up in some areas and then I will cut for the shifter when I get the mission. I am most likely going with a sequential gearbox so I am looking to only cut the shifter slot when I get the mission itself. Hopefully, my orders from Summit and some wiring places will get here soon so I can run the rest of the harness.

Here are the pics:

liv2drift045 · 08-09-2008, 05:44 AM

jeebus those wheels are sick those are the biggest lips i've seen on those wheels

irritatedmax · 08-09-2008, 09:03 AM

the build is still going great
unlike in other build threads, when you say "i think i am going with a sequential gearbox," i believe it and know its going to happen

what are the specs on the wheels?
can't believe nobody asked yet

let's finishing

WoolyS14DET · 08-09-2008, 02:17 PM

sequential gearbox= Great Idea !!

*s13 @ fullboost* · 08-09-2008, 02:38 PM

those wheels are the sex ;]

ms!3 · 08-09-2008, 06:31 PM

Another reason Gunny's are gods. Nice build!

SuicidnS13 · 08-09-2008, 06:55 PM

Bump for wheel specs-

liv2drift045 · 08-09-2008, 07:28 PM

hey brian were you aware that you need to cover the dash for shakken?? supposed to be padded (my mechanic told me this so i believe it. but let me know if you find out otherwise. just wondering if you knew or had heard this or not)....................

i like the 15 dash better
can't wait to see it done

Yeah I knew that, but then again, I have not even decided if I am going to try to JCI it yet, if I do, I will just slop an S15 Dash in there since the aluminum is using the stock mounting locations. Most likely it will not get a JCI and will run temp tags on race days. The S15 dash is cool and all but it really doesn't go with what I am doing, I would have kept it if this was going to be a daily driver type street car though.

As for wheel specs

18X10 -8 Front
18X10 -12 rear

Oo_Skyline_oO · 08-10-2008, 07:22 AM

Are you gonna paint the dash?? or leave it aluminum???

silvia_twins · 08-10-2008, 07:36 AM
