Well... ALL of the stock wiring, control modules, relays and fuses have been removed. In the process of rewiring things like the iginition key, power windows, taillights, headlights and wipers back in.

Finished labeling all the pigtail wires left on the connectors that go to the headlights and tailights along with the pins on the combination switch on the steering column. Just have mount the relays now and run the wires.

Also 90% finished with my regulation firewall for the fuel cell. Just need to make a small lip on the top of the strut bar that goes up to the hatch glass.









If there are any sponsors out there looking to sponsor for suspension components please PM me. I'm looking for different shocks and/or springs to help me launch better. Also looking for possible sponsorship on a 3.9 FD gears.

Undecided right now. I think I will go turbo or SC in the end with just E85 and no intercooler. However, this year I think it will be a 100hp wet shot of nitrous after I get the suspension dialed in at the track sometime in July. Hoping to run E85 N/A for now.

Motor is out of the car and disassembled... ordering a 383 stroker kit with 13:1 compression pistons. Cam and springs too.

^saw the car in person yesterday! so sexy. also incredibly simple. theres maybe 2 feet of wiring total lol.


on a sidenote, those interested in going with the sikky swap, what ryan did as far as retrofitting the sensors is the same thing sikky does. oem nissan sensor threads into the rear port (as oppose to the front) and the oil pressure sensor is also a nissan piece and requires an adaptor as quamen did, just keeping the factory gauges working correctly.

Head studs, pistons and injectors came in!







I still have two oil pressure sensor adapters if any people doing the swap are interested.

With the high compression stroker your building how much power are you expecting before nitrous. Just curious, don't spend much time on ls1tech

Hoping for low to mid 400whp through the TH400 and custom torque converter. If I were to guess, I would think the 430-440 range. I am hoping that the torque is mid to high 400's though.

Well it looks like I will be doing a cam also. The stock cam does not have enough overlap and my cracking pressure would be mid to low 300 psi. That wouldn't be good for the skirts and bearings. Oh well, now I should be able to get mid to high 400whp.

I though it was easy. If you already have a 60-2 reluctor such as those on the LS crank it us even easier. Their customer service is awesome also.

I live like 15 minutes from the airport. Just west of 27th and Ryan Rd. You are more than welcome to stop by when you are in town! Hope the built VQ has been treating you well!
