Default A "pair" of skylines...

Good meeting ya Aaron...

We'll try to get those headers off, but not promising anything. They are a ROYAL PITA.



My car on the left at MAC autosport, Aaron's on the right.


Dude, this whole "stock" exhaust thing is weird...it's like REALLY quiet. (Never had my car with a stock exhaust before). How do you like my Stillen true dual on your car? Kicks *** don't it?

I think that's in his plans.


God knows what are in my plans.... Z32 or S13. It's hard to decide. (damn Z32's are a PITA to work on and parts are getting harder to find....complete opposite on the S13 end...it just keeps growing)

+1 on the sweet cars. Would it be totally ridiculous if I put "Skyline" badging on my Z? I mean if a Real Skyline is equivalent to an American G-35 and a G-35 is pretty much the same thing as a 350z......
I did it!

Great meeting you Scott, look forward to seeing you at some meets. I notice a volume difference the most in 1st/2nd gear. It's pretty badass though. Anything I can do to help get the headers off let me know. I've got a decent sized garage on the south end of C.Springs if we can't talk Kevin into letting us abuse his lift. XD

Plans: As soon as I help Scott get the headers off and some test pipes I'll be picking up a UTEC. Then I'm thinking heads, cams and lighten the drivetrain a bit.

Sweet.... let me see how my work schedule is looking...I have weird days off (Wed/Thurs) but we may be able to work something out somehow...

A lift REALLY makes things easier. FWIW.. MAC said $250 per car to swap them out. That's not "that" bad... (for $$$$$ headers)

Well hopefully in a few weeks I'll have Thurs-Sat off and my days free. I just hope for warm weather.

Sweet! I highly suggest the UTEC. After my spacer, intake and TP I was running pretty lean for this altitude. Riching it up not only gained some power but help run the engine SAFER!!!

So did you get any baseline dyno numbers?

Nah, figured it was a waste since I'm just gonna get it tuned later. I have no interest in seeing how much i've gained. I'll just see how much i can get with a full intake/exhaust. Then go from there.

I'd take mac up on the offer for $250 a car. We charge $500 just to install them on one car. And scott your a BIG guy how do you fit in either a older Z or S13 LOL. If you decide to do body work on the new car you get let me know, I have a really good body guy I can get you in touch with. He's actually getting a S13 ready for paint right now. It has the front end swap done and a SR20DET in it.
