Sorry guys for the lack of updates.
Its been a crazy year in every aspect, family trouble, crazy busy and some other things.
Started making real progress on this, so I've decided to share this.
I've been shopping around for LSx engine/transmission and found it to be a bit problematic, one because everyone and their mom wants one nowadays and two because I've been contemplating something more unique.
So i've done some research and found VH45 engines quite appealing.
Smoggable(if the emission systems are in check and nothing is modified from the donor car), easy to find, relatively easy to swap to be lega in CA(OBDI engine into OBDI car), forged crank and rods, makes about 300-320hp with basic mods and has the potential for 500 NA or some real huge(800+) hp if i decide to twin turbo it.
Here's some pictures so you can see it for yourself.
Went 5 lug with some quality OEM parts using J30 front and rear hubs, both needed modifications
Doing some adjustments on the J30 hubs on the lathe
Made some solid aluminum subframe risers(I can make you a set if you want)
Put the subframe back in
Risers looking fresh
R200 rebuilt and got some beefy 5 bolt axles, solid bushings
(sorry for this instagram picture, i like it)
Bought a freshly rebuilt CD009 6 speed out of 350Z
Extended my FLCA 40mm. Also ordered some Abercrombie Motorsports knuckles + outer tie rod set. More pictures upon receiving. Didnt finish TIGing them yet. Will post a finished picture later
Chopped and tuber the front. Waiting for the 1 and 1/2 dimple maker to finish it.
Picked up a pair of RPF1s 17x10 +18 for the rear
Fitted. Also got a full set of Blitz Sparcos
5 lug completed and extended Moroso/ARP extended studs waiting for Fortune coilovers and some supension arms
Made some stickers just for fun.
