I like the quality of the build, but i do agree with everyone about the tubs, what size wheels are u planning on running then?

SupaDoopa · 01-24-2011, 08:30 AM

If you look at the first couple of pictures, the tubs are flush with the widest part of the OEM strut towers. The look is somewhat deceiving from the top view which I completely agree.

As for exterior plans, there are tons of plans. I am going to run most likely Work EQUIP's depending on which sizes I can find, a kit, and paint. The engine bay and the motor were my top priority. I did spend some money on some interior parts like the BRIDE VIOS III and rails with a few other parts, but I tried to put the emphasis to start with the engine bay. Next time I touch that turbo, I'll be swapping it out for something bigger.

There are plans, folks. Big ones at that.

Pandapants · 01-24-2011, 08:53 AM

Car is looking really nice!

SupaDoopa · 01-27-2011, 05:14 PM

HPKMotorsports3 · 01-30-2011, 12:48 AM

great work man... that purple is sick... though it will like incredible when you do the white exterior... were you thinking pearlescent?

97240TB · 01-30-2011, 01:21 AM

Hate the name of this thread, Love the color...

*Christoper Walken voice* GUESS WHAT!?!?!? I HAVE A FEVER, AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MOAR PURPLE!!!>>>

Toms2jz · 01-30-2011, 02:31 AM

Sick looking bay, what color are you painting the car? Love the progress so far.

SupaDoopa · 12-12-2011, 12:18 AM

Car color is in the air. I have a few choices in mind. I am trying to decide upon:

Aspen white
Alpine white
Super black
Some sort of lime-ish green

I'm currently deployed so I'm on a parts buying spree. When I get home either on leave or after-deployment leave, expect moar pictures, moar purple, moar legit.

*TheRealSy90* · 12-12-2011, 02:06 AM

A thread bump like that and no new pictures?

tricky_ab · 12-12-2011, 07:30 AM

My vote is for Alpine white or Super black...

Are you planning to run a kit?

OBEEWON · 12-12-2011, 01:01 PM

What tubs are those?

kalypso123 · 12-12-2011, 01:39 PM

probably dont need tubs unless you're running 18's all around.

silent_kreeper · 12-12-2011, 02:55 PM

Nice work Jay. Came along way from the Evo back in your MM days. Can't wait to see it finished. Good inspiration for me to work on my 1990 240sx but i'm just going ka-t and not SR.

SupaDoopa · 12-13-2011, 02:34 AM

Tricky - You bet. On the hunt right now. Not sure which I'll scoop up.

Kalypso - Ironic. I plan on it.

Silent - Yeah, I still have an EVO. It's just an X this time. Haha. KA-T ain't bad. I have an SR in now and I plan on buying a spare to build on the side for if/when she blows.

SupaDoopa · 12-22-2011, 12:57 PM

Update to the blog: I simply don't give a fuck.

Damn, you're right, somebody shoot Obama a text and let him know. That way I don't have to deploy again :-P:-P

Yeah, man. I wish. It's not quite over here in Afghanistan. I hope someone checked the news about the 14 explosions in Baghdad that destroyed 63 or so people. Must be a sending off present.

steve shadows · 12-22-2011, 03:02 PM

For EMS I would go for Power FC L JETRO with the Z32 MAF or go with Haltech EMS Platinum Series if you can. These are my personal favorites for the SR motor, both are available in plug and play, the Haltech just uses a patch harness instead of having it molded into the ems body. Cheers

SupaDoopa · 12-22-2011, 03:15 PM

Already purchased the PowerFC L JETRO.

Got that a while back, actually. Just need to install it and have the car tuned.

SupaDoopa · 07-16-2012, 01:34 AM

If you have a welder, save money on the Nismo Mounts. You can build a better one for $10. 7018 welding rods and some old POS stick welder will work just fine.

SupaDoopa · 07-16-2012, 03:03 AM

I got them on the super cheap. Father-in-law works parts at Nissan. I wish I could tell you what all three costed. Next time around I will probably go a different route depending what's available but for the price, I'll go NISMO all day.

Tle1993 · 07-16-2012, 08:04 AM
