hey guys, been real busy so i have not been able to give updates...
got the injectors (went with the oem 550's just due to price right now...they will be swapped out in the next year or two)
everything is comeing along well..kinda hit a road block with cash and im hopeing that its not going to slow the build down any...so here is what we have now:
-all of the parts except the drive shaft are at the shop
-since im going with oem injectors, a small turbo and not shooting for the hp the motor is built for we went ahead and just bought an APEXI SAFC II..i know its not the best choice BUT with money getting REALLY tight (DUI, school loans not available and a full time schedule with no time to work) it was the best route for me at the moment
-motor is coming out of the car on Wed and is getting all the gaskets, pullys, injectors, resistor pack finalized wiring harness, all guages, clutch, flywheel, and whatever other parts i have sitting in my huge pile of parts put in...
im hopeing that Tony can have the car running by friday and even tho i was praying i could pick it up this weekend...it doesnt look promising...soooo maybe next week sometime if i can get the cash to finish all the "little" things i may need to get

Hahahah lmao we prob met and you didnt even know it. I was there with all of the S3 mag guys and Super Street photographers causing a riot popping henny with mr 200mph himself break dancing and "planking" what we called at the time "black out pics" with random anime characters i hope to make it back this year and will prob be bringing the g35 out there for Txtk12 in dallas with dimitri
Wait we prb did meet... I was talking to a chase bays guy during that event and also a S3 mag guy.. I can't remember I was drinking the whole event...

Damn man, your car is sick!
You got torn up on that old youtube video lol I helped
(i'll hit you up on the tubes, we can be frands)
2jz motors are the sh*t.
I'm super tired right now (insomnia>me) so I didn't read the whole thread, but what transmission are you planning on running? Did you source a r154? A good buddy of mine was somewhat interested in trying up a cd009 to his 2j, I think it would be a great combo with the right rear end.

@graff if you pull it off lmk, my buddy would probably be interested eventually.
@bbs I'm actually thinking about going this year! Big deal for a cali kid like myself. From what I've heard as long as your car traps above 130 you will be 'ok' LOL. But yeah It makes your build feel like a joke in comparison.
We should definitely start a thread closer to the event, that way we can meet up/meet for the first time. That'd be pretty cool. I'd love to check out other member's cars!
