id say black the only time your allowed to rock red calipers if your running 6 pot brembo's

wow what a deal, this car with a forged bottom end would do some damage!

or you could of just bought or borrowed a real spray gun , that poor car.

You will be hooked, just with a few bolt on's you will go faster then your mustang with ease.

shep is a great guy all around, he has helped me get my past tranny's done on time and always with the quality you expect from him. This guy is a true to the sport in every way.

Welcome man, one thing I can respect about any car , that its put together well and very clean. NICE ride.!

Damn I just found this out this morning Sucks.............. RIP

Yeah this is true this happen to me 12 years ago and I still remember what parvo shit smells like.

I am not jumping the gun it could of just been worm meds But this is what happened to both my pups. They ended up having parvo . There belly was warm and they stopped eating and drinking water. Make sure you take them to the vet, once parvo gets in the system its even hard for a vet to do anything. Make sure you clean everything with bleach even outside steps, porch ect. For a puppy to get that sick for a few days something is def not right, id rather be safe then sorry. Dont do what I did a wait it out and almost killing them. Make sure you get a water sucker then and squirt water down for him.

Why not keep it a t4?

are you using 9:1.1 pistons? my rb25 is 9:1 and is 180 ish also.

If I was in japan still id def get a r33 GTR they are so cheap to come by. You can always find military guys that had huge dreams wanting a skyline and having to get rid of it within a month. Ive seen them go for 1200 once they JIC is expired they drop in price. In the states ive always liked 1g dsm's or s13 nissan 240's great platform for builds.

Thats true the rican's are up there on the rotary cars that place puts out so many single digit rotarys its crazy.

welp let me know.

Ive met this cocky fucker before, my buddy works there. I can pretty much hear this fucker saying that also.

usually turbo cars are 150-160 ish at around 8:5.1 then NA cars are 180ish up I could be wrong tho. I just always remember my dsm's and sr motors being 155-160 for some reason.

I am off today- monday if you want to tackle this we can pick up some paint and do whatever. pm me if you want too.

I have prior work history with painting but by no means am I some great painter, I really feel its all in the detail and prep work. You do not have to have someone do this, its very simple all the directions are on the paint cans and its just simple to mix. IMO do not make your engine bay some redneck autozone paint do it right the first time and you will be glad you did it. If you need help I am more then willing to help, I have paint gun's . I have a sata primer gun and a nice sata jet base and clear gun.

This is what I did I used purple power with a power washer made sure all the big stuff was off and clean. after it was clean I used DAWN dish soap to and washed the engine bay several time, stuff cuts anything away. I had an issue with a battery tray that rusted, so I sandblasted and cut and re welded metal. After fixing small issues I re washed with dawn again. I use metal steel wool, small scotch bright pads and several diff sand papers. This is what takes the most time is making sure you scuff up everything. After the engine bay was complete I Washed with DAWN again. My first step was to seal the engine bay. I use a DuPont sealer/ primer http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/240sx19.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/240sx21.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/240sx22.jpg After it was sealed and baked on, I went over all the primer with steel wool and wet sanded a lot of the bigger areas. After I made sure everything was glass smooth I washed it again with dawn and let to dry. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/240sx23.jpg After going to the paint store and searching I found my color. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/paint2.jpg I prepped the engine bay, and made sure everything was aired off and the I tacked everything off. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/paint3.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/paint4.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/paint5.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/paint7.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/boosted98gst1998/paint6.jpg

wow that compression seems really low ? whats the oem compression ?

The aussies and kiwi's have the rotor game on lock. There sport compact class in AUS would destroy most cars around.

YUP my buddy had his skyline done here and was a tad over 6k. Ive seen a lot of places that paint, hands down this is great work.

This just fucking put a huge lump in my throat, I do not know what to even say.........so young. This alone shows ones character. I wish his family the best. Keep us updated.

You know that's fine and all and they are more then capable cars to do so in the right hands. But have you ever even build consistent low 10 second car? or how about an 11 second dsm? Whats the fastest 1/4 time? how fast has the galant gone?

I agree this car looks to be in great shape and will make someone a nice car, but who cares if this is what 70% of guys are running. I am sure someone that buys it is going to have a 9 second dsm.
