nice work ,looks soo good ,so the tension rod mounts ,are they fartory or ahve they been taken from a silvia and mounted on the chassis rails ?
looks great ,hows the diff going to cope with all that power though ?

the tension rod horn as i call it is the factory one for the car. instead of leaving it as the pull thru tension rod, i opened it up by cutting a large enough hole, then i took and narrowed down the s13 adjustable rod at the pivot end so it would fit in the the bracket since it is double walled. drilled a hole in the bracket. and good to go.

Got my new ecm on wednesday, now i need to pull the fuel tank.

Nice pussy...(what? someone had to say it!)

Summer time blues, lots of daylight but still no time to work on the car, did get the h165 diff in new brakes and calipers, some GAB adjustable rear shocks on, my new teflon intake gasket, ported the intake mainfold, new fuel rail, some 550 injectors, fuel tank is finally finished after three times into the shop. got my fuel pump. made up my fuel lines 5/16. went to the wrecking yard over the weekend and scored some nice black interior pieces, including an uncracked black dash pad. and got stung by a yellow jacket do to nest under the dash.

That is an excellent build!!!!!! It looks to me all you guys that side are engineers. Keep up the good work like they say in my home language" Dit lyk flippen mooi gaan groot of gaan Huis toe"

well the intake manifold is finally bolted on for the last time, i hope, took the car to the fab shop, to redue the trunk area, so the fuel cell will fit the way i want it too, should turn out good when it's done.

Dave, What fuel cell did you go with? I will be going that route as well.

I picked up a ebay special, I went 15 gal. an extra 5 gals of fuel can't hurt anything. has sending unit, foam filled, with the drop down. $186.00 shipped. another $300.00 to have it installed the way i wanted. checked it out today turned out great. http://www.ebay.com/itm/150673848332? ... 2&viewitem=&sspagename=ST

the extra 5 gallons of gasoline weighs 30+ pounds.

a racing fuel cell is good for safety, isn't it? It is like a regular fuel tank, but with a self-sealing rubber interior seal and a foam type filler to reduce sloshing.
