Default hi there

never really post much...but I figured for the current undertaking I would.
So anyway As the sig says I have a 1993 sc300. I picked it up out of south central LA about a year ago(has it been that long allready?) never going back there btw...Anywho it is 5 speed the whole nine and in pretty decent condition to be honest. I went na-t but you know how that goes...so the motor finally started to burn oil at 185k and I am going as nuts with it as I possibly can on a military salary. So far my iraq deployment funds have acquired:
two volk sf challenges 19x8.5 front and 19x10.5 rear through a unfortunate 350z owners run in with paint,
a yanack front bumper,
a jdm 2jzgte,
a Getrag Billet SS
and the obligatory trd shift **** as mine is thrashed.

from teh na-t of doomness I will be using:
ARC clone intercooler
ARC Bov
GT35 Turbo
50MM Wastgate
3" Intercooler piping
3" Downpipe
Custom 3" mandrel mid pipe
HKS Carbon-ti exhaust
Revo 52mm Boost Meter


I guess onto my goal to include the Getrag I hope...they are REALLY getting pricey though, and looking into a haltech standalone with more to be figured out as I go.

Anyway I plan to keep everyone up to date on this as it is my pride and joy and hope someday it will be something worth looking at.

Thanks for letting me waste your time haha, and thanks to all of those who have helped with the last bit of this destroyer of budgets

I am currently working on picking up some supra tt calipers and apexi/eibach adjustable suspension. Then onto my goal to include the Getrag I hope...they are REALLY getting pricey though, and a haltech standalone with more to be figure out as I go.

I helped out in that for sure, but whats wrong with NA-T? Is it not so great because you have 180k+ ?? I'm going NA-T with 103, but I'm getting a factory block and having it worked on prior... still bad idea?

Thanks lax!
Haha...yuma, you are the man for getting me that motor. DEFF nothing wrong with na-tizzle, I just had an old motor and wanted to do a lot of stuff to my motor that the jdm gte allready has, like the radiator return, dizzy delete, map sensor instead of karmon(sp?) vortex. You know, that stuff. I have a lot of nat stuff to sell including ls 400 maf, safc etc...

definately will, I would be more than glad to talk now, it is just somewhat harder to have someone else do stuff for you in terms of removal.
