None of these solutions will pass emissions without some palm greasing.

of course there are states that dont care....

25k trade in on a 370z, used gtr 60k, much quicker and less painless

like where i live? we don't give a **** about emissions, i used to have a firebird with just headers and i got a fix it ticket all i had to do was put on mufflers to make it quieter no cat's signed off with no palm greasing required

You seem very angry.

hopefully i'm going to have the motor next month, want to start tear down and refresh what i can for now, super limited budget so we'll see. Looking like a full strip and rewire for the entire car everything will go, abs isn't useful to me so its out, going to see if we can't pull a mile of wiring out of the car (real goal here) will be using aftermarket traction control, going megasquirt 3 with ms3x expansion for full sequential fuel and timing, hand built headers and mounts, neo garage adapter plate+clutch or make my own, new guage cluster using analog style gauges, gps 200mph speedo, diy manifold maybe itb's we'll see. going to use an 04-06 non cvtc engine, custom trigger wheels, use the factory coil on plug setup, need two ignition modules to fir them from the ecu, going to soldier up an in dash knock light/headphone jack for tuning. Going to focus on getting it running by next spring if i can get all the parts in by fall. going custom oil pan for now unless something happens where i can get my hands on a drysump. hopefully i can keep ac, might need the room for something else. going to call it project "simple" I'll break down all my costs as they come up knowing i may not be able to make this happen quickly so don't hold your breath. once i get the motor in i'll fire up a journal thread. hp goal right away is to not make any less than a stock z, down the road gonna shoot for 600. If all goes well maybea build and cams, a turbo or two since the ecu is built for it, fuel-cell/return system, a small cage hidden behind a hand layed carbon replacement interior to lighten things up a bit, move the battery to the back, 4 or 5 point harnesses, then the really expensive task brakes, suspension, and custom bits like active brake cooling. i want to be able to drive it to work, have it unique and functional, hand built but not cheap looking, and something i can keep working on for years. If i don't have a motor by march just forget about it.

Edit: oh yeah the goal is to get the motor in and be able to drive car for under $6000/ i realize i said going 8 times.

............edited by ak "

For a moment, I had a flashback to NICOClub. LSx this and SR20 that, lol. You typed what I was thinking

<on-topic>

A VK build is exactly what the doctor ordered. Now we just need to find the right manual transmission to mate it with. Then hope that it lines up at least close to right......

i will be using the factory 6 speed just ignoring the synchro rev sensors(unless i can pull something off in ms3). They make adapter plates for them to bolt to vk's it's like $700 otherwise i'll make my own and spend that 700 elsewhere. Filing taxes tomorrow then going motor shopping.

Edit: also this would be the 3rd time. Chris Forsbergs mechanics, Ryan Kado's mechanics, me(iff), i say mechanics cuz they did'n do sh!t

i swear i'm gonna pistol whip the next person that stuffs an ls into another car. i think its time we start looking forward in the customizing world when we want power instead of using the default "shove an ls in it"
