+a billion!

Also don't forget those who are too lazy to do a simple oil change (me).

Thats funny. If I had all the parts, I could do an NA LS2 swap in 3-4 days..if that..(done and done right) I know this car like the back of my hand and im literally the only one working on it. At one point I was laying under the frame lowing the engine with my arm extended while using my foot to jack up the jack stand holding up the engine...Im not much of a fain for help although there are times (like when wrapping the fn headers) where an extra hand would come in handy.

Modified the compressor cover and both wastegates to accept push lock fittings. It wasn't too bad, just had to tap everything to accept the fittings. Upon doing this mod I found out that one of my wastegates had a very small tear in the diaphragm, so the car won't be running today like it was supposed to..it will be closer to the end of next week after it comes in...piece of ****.

(Since im going with a black and red scheme, it was only right to get some red tube(not the **** site) I did however buy black too incase i didn't like how it looked.

Don't mind how completely horrible everything looks. Its just enough to get the car running and the engine broken in so I can bring it for paint. Once it gets painted and finished on the outside the car comes back in the garage, is getting completely taken apart so I can put the finishing touches on everything and make it look expensive. lol

Broke the engine in today..I must say this engine is an absolute animal. The turbo spools so damn fast now. I was sideways in 3rd at 4krpm 3/4 throttle. I think its time for a bigger turbo.

They will come soon. The car is just put together enough to get the engine broken in so I can bring it to the body shop and they can drive it in and out of the bays. Once its out of the shop it will get taken apart to be put back together the right way.

Just sold my brembos and bought the akebono 14" kit. I got the red ones with drilled stoptech rotors and stainless lines. I know some think the brembos are better but I want red and I want big. I think they will look really nice.

I dont see what the big deal is anyway. It's just a 350z with an LS swap.


LOL

I agree. Got my 14" F/R brake kit today. Alls I can say is HOLY ****!!! The rotors are absolutely gigantic.. I will post pics a little later but these things should completely fill my 18" rims.
