second, i'm at my parents for the holidays, and was looking at the picture i quoted, and my mother was like "what the hell is that?" so your build even has an impact on the non nissan enthusiast population as well!

Alright guys...I would have posted this up a little sooner but I went snowboarding for a few days in colorado but now Im back and can share some progress!
I have the motor, modded subframe, driveshaft, etc installed for good! Pics will follow. Due to the modded motor location, I had to mod the oil pan (see previous posts) and also mod the x-member to accommodate...As a result, the xmember has a pretty small cross-section, but Im not too worried as I completely boxed it in and its pretty rigid, Im certain its as good as stock. I also will be running other bracing on the tension rod brackets so we will see. There is good room between the motor and member too so Im very satisfied, and everything bolted up just how it was suppossed to!! Im now going to begin work on my exhaust manifold and intake manifold so watch out! Here are a few pics: X-member after paint: Motor just dropped in: Pan fitment...its low! Ill be making a skid plate, lol! More pan fitment ooooo it fits so good! Haughtness:

looking at that picture would have porlly made better sense before you painted the car. but there is obviously more room on the right side of the car. should have done a Right Hand Drive Conversion. Could have had better / more Turbo + manifold clearance. and Fabricating a custom intake manifold is always easier anyways. less heat on the BMC and so on. its not too late you should consider it. |

Lookn fwd to the manifolds. Also in the 1st pic you can see an opening from the engine bay into the cabin I think..correct me if I'm wrong but you made a door/plate to cover that?
Great work as said before |

When you get it "finished" it should somehow all be condensed. That would be so awesome.
Updates, updates!
