OMG! they don't know how to build a website! Check out the pics, they are like 3 times bigger than they appear on the site. They didn't actually resize them, they just shrunk them down for the site. No wonder it didn't scroll smoothe. Man, thats just awful. The kit for the s13(180sx) makes it look like a small fairlady from the back, pretty cool IMO.

i'm willing to bet that one of them was in the military before n was stationed in okinawa n still knows a bunch of ppl there still since things are considerably, okay, a lot cheaper over there than here.

Judging by the fact that they say "semper fi" at the bottom of there site, i would say there definatly ex-military. Now the question is would you trust a ex-marine <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

The prices they list for the s14 motor is very cheap. Can someone call them and find out if it comes with everything to do a swap? I would; but don't know all the question(s) to ask them. Also I would like to know if a front clip can be shipped and what the cost for the clip would be. Thanks in advance.

S14Pilot · 12-17-2001, 01:14 PM

I posted this a while back guys.  I've been up there and talked to Brian (the owner) a couple times.  I even see him around town every once in a while.  He's a good guy.  He's not trying to rip anyone off.  His prices really are that low for a COMPLETE swap.  He lived in Japan for a while and even has a Japanese wife...his prices are the result of a very good contact in Japan.  He's a former Nissan tech in Japan and really knows his stuff.  Okinawa is the performance side of the standard ricer shop.  Its not really economical to start an engine swap shop in Indiana because of all the altezza taillight sales.  That's the only thing that makes money around here, but he wanted to offer his expertise and service to the area by founding Okinawa alongside Kutting Edge Imports.  They have an S13 w/DET sitting in the showroom.  We talked options on getting a ft. clip or just the engine from an S14...he's a good guy who really knows Nissans.  I'll be getting my DET from him a soon as I can find a #### S14 to put it in.  Check 'em out guys!!

That's too good to be true? I hope it is not. Some keep me posted.

Can he hook me up with a Japanese wife for a decent price?

S14Pilot · 12-18-2001, 07:57 AM

I stumbled across a mail order service that might be able to get you a low milage Japanese woman with minimal exterior defects for a pretty descent price.

alchemist · 12-19-2001, 11:13 PM

I'll check the place out in a week or two.  I live in Bloomington IN and have friends in INDY.  I'll let you know how it goes

Archangel · 12-20-2001, 12:20 AM

Hey, AJ.  Indianapolis is just under a 2 hour drive from Cincy.  Nothing more that an afternoon drive on a Saturday. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Also, he's the closest Nissan tuner I've heard of to Cincy.

KoukiS14 · 12-20-2001, 12:33 AM

Well crap... Lots of us live in the area then. . Not used to this!! I come from the 240sx.org list, and there was like... 3 of us or something hehe. .
