How retarded would it be to take my daily drivetrain and swap it into a 510, including the harness, and run eMS2 on it? lol

Do it. You won't do it. |
Pass. Garage is already stacked.

all you chrome-hating children need to get over your hate and learn to appreciate.

real chrome on real retro cars is okay.
"chromed" plastic on modern cars is retarded as what. |

That one's cute, but I'd rather have this one:
http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topic=10088.0 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1334067125 Does the "Throttle response" make up for the complete lack of power? :jerkit: |
plus it looks like a rusted POS, sounds like donkey, is slow as hell, and needs a new clutch.

I like everything about the first one, except that intercooler. Just... no.
Second one is retarded just based on the angle of the seats. |

isnt that how you do them on a 4 door?
|
can somebody educate me on why somebody would go to all that work for a vg30e? its probably the closest thing nissan has to a LSx (the iron block version) i guess but i don't get it.
it is a nice car and i'm a fan of both 510s and 2002s. |

can he re-chrome the plastic trim on my altima?

You guys are looking at this all wrong. The blue car is a (structural) rust free Texas survivor/ old lady barn car with legit patina and a bad ass drivetrain that makes beautiful noises and will last forever. Looks like granny's daily driver, and sounds like a sport bike. It has all killer electronics and suspension. Everthing (except the bladder-less fuel cell, I guess) is done correctly, and with nice parts. This is old car gold. Plus he's asking half the price that the red car is going for.
BTW, the harnesses are bolted to the factory rear seat belt mounts. That's the safest place to put them on a 4 door 510 without a roll bar, as the b-pillars are too far forward to run a normal harness bar. They do the same thing with Mk1 and Mk2 Jettas/ Golfs. |

also those are probably vacuum metalized if they're plastic. |

an SR20VE would be my second choice after an FJ20(just too much of a pain to get parts here in the US). I would love to get some N1 cams or Kelfords and really make it sing. Even as it is it probably runs 13s or so it isn't slow. The suspension stuff is ok the Tech coilovers are just repackaged AGXs though aren't they. The patina is cool and appeals to purists but cost is the ultimate arbiter. You think he'd sell for 10K? seems like I remember he was asking like 15K and said not to bother him for less. |
