I will consider the Haltech but at the end of the day, it comes down to the computer that can meet what is needed with the most reliability and cost efficiency possible. although motec and cost efficiency are no where near each other it is still an awesome computer that I should consider if the price is right when I go to buy.

I know what you mean about everyone wanting the cheapest stuff possible and I guess that is cool, I would rather just do it right and save the money to get what I need when I need it. If that means I slow down on the project for a while, so be it, it will be done as I envisioned it rather than have a bunch of compromises.

I figure, if I opened a shop I would have to be able to come up with low cost solutions to high end dreams. pretty damn hard to do but possible as long as people keep it real we will see where it goes later on as I get closer to making that decision.

The Biggest things that I would want my shop NOT to be:
- Fly by night shitty swap shop.
- Dirty ass shop that people ask about on the internet because their first impression sucks
- Full of know it all fuck sticks that do not know how to listen to someone and then come up with a solution. I hate it when people get stuck in their ways and come up with lame shit due to laziness. I say this because I will probably be my own customer as well (Kind of like the hair club for men).
- Half assed in any way shape or form. I would want to be able to build or restore any car that came so it would have to be pretty extensive to reach those goals. That is why I am kind of thinking about it right now and trying to determine which way to go with it.

Yea I gotcha. my friend tried doing his shop like that but I mean not too many people have the money and he wasnt getting paid what he was worth you know. I think in Japan they will respect your craftsmanship and good work more so than the US.

[xpl2007]

Motec M800!! Haltech is so old school..... So i herd... Your build might as well have the best since your putting a lot of sweat and tears....

Yeah some do have the funds though. But no body builds for freeway runs out here like that... Many are all HIN cars..

I still think this is a dream build its to much getting a headache...

Whats wrong with SR?? lol jk..

Unbelievable build. It's nice to see someone taking their time and putting so much effort into every detail.

If you decide you want the Defi Super Sports cluster let me know as the owner of one of those "25 shops'' is a friend of mine. I'm sure we could sneak one over to you.

I might just take you up on that, especially if something comes out allowing them for JCI inspection.

more pics please, this is pure sex!

[GreekRPS13]

unreal man its beautitful

[deolio]

this thread is such a tease. can't wait for the final product. excellent work!

[Gavster]

I love your brackets!! Pure machined hotness!

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Dude everything about this build is ridiculous.
I admire your attention to detail.
I can't wait to see the coolant lines running off those AN fittings.

[kazama]

CursedGTR,

Was it hard fitting the RB26 inside ? (mounting wise, clearance, etc)

And do you know whether it would be possible to wire back the stock s15 meter cluster to correctly read the speed/tacho as the signals from a 6cyl are different from a 4cyl ?

p/s. absolutely amazing work done to your car.


Cheers.

[DOOK]

I'd really like to make comment but i don't really have anything to say... kinda speechless actually. Very sexy build, can't wait to see it finished and in a magazine.

[hunter8411]

Awesome work, keep it up. Can't wait to see the final product.

I used an RB member from a C34 Laurel and the mounts from the same car, it just kind of plopped right in there. Stock cluster and all that jazz is not too difficult to wire in from what C&Y Sports says, I just choose not to do so because I am tossing all of the old wiring as well.

For thepast two weeks, I have really done nothing but apply fiber, sand, mix more fiber, sand, sand and sand some more, but I have finally eliminated the exhaust arch in the rear bumper.
The plan calls for something like a dual pipe exhaust exiting the bumper through two separate holes with a carbon fiber bezel ring.
Or
Same thing but exiting from the center of the bumper.
The wastegate pipes will be set up to exit through a similar set up in the passenger side side skirt.
Anyways, here is a pic or two, for nay sayers up front, I really don't care for the input, I am doing this because it something most would likely NOT waste their time doing.

[89singlecamnoob]

turned out awesome, looks way clean.

[RedStage]

I decided I don't like you
You have a lot of patience, can't wait to see the finished product. Great thread.

[ThatGuy]

That looks so clean that it needs a side by side picture with the exhaust cut-out still present to give a full appreciation of the work.

[jrcobias]

wowers!! i really like. keep us posted...

[rowdogg03]

that is the biggest intercooler i have ever seen in my life..

[emersonLP]

Bumper looks great, but cmon man! I need more updates! I was so excited to see you update this thread again! You have only succeeded in whetting my appetite

Keep up the amazing work

You're pretty naive if you think you can earn much money only with the modification of cars...

[Drifter Z]

[drifting.8]

[burnsauto]

about how many hours do you have invested in the rear bumper alone?

[devonkyle77]

the bumper bracket laying on the floor, will you be able to use it with that huge IC? if not, could you sell it to me, please?

[96Turbo]

that intercooler scares the shit outta me! I'll be looking forward to seeing this thing on the cover of a magazine in the near future!!!

[Subzeroqc]

What do you feed that intercooler? Babies?
