Judging by measuring, it should.

Definitely, I am only a few minutes down 35 or Parkway.

Still going and no I have not finished it. On top of some parts taking 5-9 months just to receive, being able to afford everything at once, for me, is impossible. Maybe you do not know the cost of some of these parts and if that's the case, finding out would probably tell you why it is taking me this long.
It is still going and will go until the car is up and running.
A truely amazung and awesome build, definitely an inspiration and I for one cannot wait to see this further down the road, the best of luck to what could possibly be the coolest 350 build!
Way to bump an old thread, but at the same time, what happened to this build and mid's 2JZ swap?
Still working on it. Just haven't been active on any forum or even social media for that matter.

Thanks, appreciate the love.
Still chopping away at parts. Changed a few things up. New hood will be here on Monday after a 10 month or so wait -_- Have been battling with Nissan for 3 months now to get part numbers and list for the seats I want. Since the car just came out over the summer, it's too new. That's what they are claiming. I have too much invested into this build to just quit so that will not be happening at all. Talking to a few fabricators(around the globe) to hopefully have some custom stuff made, we shall see what they can come up with.
Sorry for the lack of updates. Every so often I lose interest : \
It's good to hear from you Mike! Hope you're well man
Here are some pics I haven't uploaded.
Amuse Titanium Lugnuts:
Engine/Trans mounted. Everything fit well even the trans. The turbo manifold front WG tube wouldn't fit, so had to massage the strut tower a bit. The intake manifold fit with no issues. The throttle body is close to the rad support, so if we can't fit intercooler pipe I think we will make a custom rad support which will most likely happen. The turbo fits although it wasn't clocked and is going to be a different turbo instead of this exact one.
Friend got artsy with the one pic and it really shows how used the valve covers are. Those will be coated before final install.

Very nice.. man I love Garage Mak front bumper and splitter.. But can't see myself buying it when I know I am going to smash it at the track..
Such an awesome kit. I thought about doing the full WB but went against it ha. Gonna do Garage Mak / Voltex mix. Had some renderings made and it looked great, imo, so I'm going to go with it.
