Ho Ho Ho.

this Christmas I got:

-AE VLSD 5-speed tranny
-ACT stage 1 clutch
-Fidanza flywheel
-Raxles
-Place Racing motor mounts
-Cattman Gen 1 headers
-19" SSR Comp-H wheels


...yup.

 

well im glad everyone had a good christmas good luck on all yall installs.

 

Yeah, in the end the only reason to do the RB is if you want more TQ/ power over 400whp reliably and to not be like very other SR swap on the planet. Oh and no A/C dammit haha.

 

Once you get started on it, if you happen to post a project thread with updates on what ever site, let me know, Id like to watch it.

 

Actually we are going to have something to that effect.. But, I'll only send you a link if you change your avatar that "guy" scares me.

 

ahahaha, aww come one, everyone loves Carl Spackler.

 

hoooly crap thats like $6k+ of parts....wish i was rich too...

 

Do you know how much a built RB25 costs?.. lol

 

Nice, dunno about the 19" SSR's.. But hey w/e right. All the rest of that is beautiful, except I thought you had an AE = AE tranny. Perhaps I have you confused with Steven88 or something. I get you guys mixed up.

 

Stop cheating Grant, its suppose to be what you got FOR CHRISTMAS...not what you got during winter, haha.

 

+1 Mr. Gates.

 

Didnt see your post about getting one, but i still don't know how much a built RB25 costs...how much?

 

Haha np, I was kidding.. They go for about 13-15k, the one I'm referencing is going to be a little over 17k because it's being built and swapped into an S13.

 

Alignment, 2 new calipers, and getting my SAFC tuned soon. I've been meaning to do these repairs for a while. It will feel good when they are finished.

 

damn, what are you doing for it to cost that much? Are you building it yourself?

 

sway bar end links.. to get rid of the ghetto squeek

 

Hmm...I guess I got a set of 300zx wheels from teejnut =)

 

Really, almost did that just now. (not a bad thing haha)

Wow man -- I guess you'renot missing your Z very much?!?!

Do you have pictures?

I got a nice xmas present -- my s13 turned out to be a VERY clean car, no rust on the frame rails or in the engine bay (except for the battery tray, but I'm pretty sure someone in Cali could develop rust in that spot).
ACT clutch and oil line kit are going to be ordered today, and as soon as they come in I'll mock up the replacement engine and trans.

Oh, and 240's deserve all the love.

Let me know about your project website/thread too, I'd like to follow as well.

 

catmann cat back, fast cat .do to install tomorrow. catmann headers on order. supposed to get by the end of jan. cant wait.

 

Santa didnt bring my gt35r ball bearing turbo . . .

 

i got a ps2 and 7inch in dash screen
and now im getting black cefiros (or maybe those new R34 dual reflector headlights) and a 8000K HID kit

oh ya......and black bumper lights and corners.
oh ya......and i am putting my ugly hubcap winter rims and tires back on

 

scrhale, yep they got the rear main seal.

 

Altezza 2nd gen black tail lights from the gf (doh!)
Tokico Illumina + Springs + ball joints + allignement from me
some tools

 

We're building part and the shop is doing the rest in collaboration with us..

RB25DET from a R33 GTST with a little less than 30k, custom mounts/ driveshaft and routing, accesories, wiring harness, GReddy Intake Manifold, GReddy RSPL Front Mount Intercooler and piping, APEX'i AVC-R Digital Electronic Boost Controller, Apexi SAFCII, Tomei 740cc Fuel Injectors, T3/T04E Turbo, HKS Wastegate, Custom Manifold, custom dump pipe, few hours on the dyno, greddy timing belt, possibly tomei cams, S15 HLSD, Apexi coilovers..

Just trying to decide if the T3 is lame.. Which I think a GT3037R would do nicely after reading on the skyline down under forums for a bit.


The old Z's are neat, but unless you have A TON of money.. screw that.

-Nice on the mods btw, keep us updated as will I.

 

I got a multimeter and a drill as well as a bunch of other shop accessories and have a bit of money in the pot for the suspension/chassis upgrades coming in the next few months.

 

245 piece craftsman socket & wrench set, DMM, speed wrench, tap and die set, spring compressors, & set of 6 snap wring pliers

 

A 253 piece Craftman tool box! Greatest gift I have ever received.....wish I would have gotten the R34 one piece headlights......but is all good...the saving continues.

 

Well santa's **** finally showed it self in the form of the ups truck and he dropped this off!






its a megan exhaust cat-back. i should be installing it friday or sat.

 

I got oil, antifreeze, brake pads, some filters, and a pair of pliers.

Maxi hit 90k over Christmas break... parents' garage FTW

 

yeah they got the rear main seal, and yes ALL vq's use the same crappy rear main seal, BUT there's alot more your missing..... You also need the front and rear oil pan "c-shaped" seals, the oil pick-up o-rings, and some permetex grey, (plus brake cleaner, rags, and 3-m scotch pads). Don't make the mistake me, zach342, and a few others made, you need to do it the way the FACTORY manual tells you, which is to remove the upper oil pan to install the rm and then re-seal the upr oil pan. You can go HERE for more info at the very end of the 2nd page you'll see that I had to take my tranny back out.......

 

I got a Visa Gift Card so I used that to buy a new shifter boot and e-brake boot that I needed since I bought the car. Also this one came pre-assembled straight from the factory so that it actually fits. And I treated her to a new clock since the old one stopped working. I guess she made out pretty good.

 

Definately will do.

I've decided though that the Holset turbo I was going to get would be way too big (18cm compressor housing), so I'm not going to pick that up.

I did get however, a huge tool chest/cabinet for xmas (finally got to open up the presents) to hold any tool/detailing supply I may have. It's that fuggin big. I actually have to go on a tool shopping spree to fill it I think.

240's sit so high in the front without an engine weighing it down... haha, just like any other car

 

Drop in an RB and your front end will be on its nuts, a scraping.. haha

 

my car still sat low without an engine in it. . . thanks to the Good folks at D2 Racing. (free plug, I'm charging them for the next one)

 

Lucked out.... Illuminas, eibach springs, progress RSB, RSTB, and a new battery.

 

maxima_tuned, what drop do you have?

 

I got...dun dun dahhh!!! a brand newLOWER CORE SUPPORT from Nissan... FTW!! (pictures to come..)
an Optima red top
brand new, crispy floor mats from Nissan

 

Budget Y-pipe, Ionic Lip, Pioneer CD Player, Gauge Pod and a gauge, and I bought myself a Stillen muffler for my birthday
