No real reason backed by any qualitative explanation. I just wanted to do it from the onset of this build which started awhile back and at the time I had the funds to spend to acquire the NISMO version so I could be a "test mule" of sorts. I'm pretty sure the rev-up would have been way more than adequate especially with the motor being stroked and being expected to make peak power at much lower RPMs compared to a non-stroked VQ.

ya even the big builds are using the revup which is why i was asking..from what i understand the nismo pump uses the same housing as the r34 nismo pump.

I forgot where but I thought somewhere a while back a saw a physical comparison of the non-revup, revup and NISMO oil pump. I'll see if I can find it and post it or send it to you directly.

On another note my new jack has instantaneously become my new favorite tool. I'm very excited to get started on my installs so I can start using it. I love new tools!








Mission Accomplished!!!



Yeah I should probably do a build thread of my own.

Did you "oval out" the sub frame with a drill/dremel for the toe bolts?


Yes I did. My toes wasn't the problem with the ichiba camber arms. It was camber adjustability...

On bc coils but if I had to put a number out there I'd say prolly .5 - 1 inch more than gf210s. Also after searching and calling ichiba USA I found they made two different rear camber arms and only differ'd by one number in the part number and on their site they have the exact description but under certain vendors they say +\- 2 degree or +\- 4 degrees so just make sure you do your research

I appreciate the concern, my worry is actually the toe as I said. And the Alignment not staying within specs. Just gotta find someone reputable to do the alignment. Thanks again!

Exactly! The shop may wanna charge you a pretty penny to do the dremeling of the toe holes and all. But alignments can be cheated and by the time you know tires are gone lol good luck bud!

I don't pay for things I can do myself. I will do the install, but the alignment shop will have to take care of it's business. I even know a guy through a guy that can do camber/toe alignments. Hope it all works out for me!

I went the way of Eibach due to the the testimonials on here. I read through a lot of thread posts that scared me out of using the cheaper ones. According to most, Eibach has very good quality.

I believe the Eibach kit uses the SPC arms. They are one in the same.
