just make it more quarter mile highway pulls car. It would have to much hp to enjoy in any other form. For the pesky vette and v8 cars.

it will be fun. What's not fun about aa cammed out rb25 bumping 550-600 hp? An s chasis that powerful isnt very street friendly anyways. It will never be as fun as gtr in a street environment with twisties. The gtr was built to race period. The s13 is a poor platform for road race. Going to have a road car and straight line car. Both will be streetable though. It's no fun if they aren't able to be driven on public roads. Not to mention the only thing the 240 needs is a block. The head is built but I don't think a build head and stock block would be very fun. Especially with that big gt35r. Stock block would hold it back. The 240 would just take to much funds from the gtr right now. GTR is main focus. I am away from home all the time anyways. So it's not like I'd be able to really enjoy it and it's winter time. 6 month's will go by quick.

not worried about it. Tuned gtr's get imported all the time. If I do open the engine up it would be for drop in cams. Staying at 450 ish so I don't have to worry about internals. If anything I'd just do an overhaul/refresh.

heh I've never really tried it. Different process with pulse tig etc. I don't use a foot pedal. I'm used to pipe code. Open root x-ray welds.

I've always been on my own. Never worked in st.louis. I'm what's called a road whore. Just travel constantly. Been in colorado the last 5 months building a compressor station. I started my own rig truck so I can get that extra tax free money. Going to try and get on some pipelines to. Basically just doing downhill stick right now. 100% X ray to B31.3 code.

Yea it's a nice piece to have. I like to keep stock body panels though. Just in case the worst happens. Think I have like 6 doors a few pop up headlight hoods, Silvia Q bumper, aero bumper, stock bumpers, window glass, extra uncracked dash etc. Lots o shit lol.
