Some pics of the V8 coupe, body near done.

[FreeThinker]

Ings+1 R-spec front bumper, Japanese Kouki lights, J-land grille

Now I just gotta work out who is gonna send me some free suspension.

Sorry about some of the darker pics, my cam sucks with anything less than über light levels.

The bumper is mocked in place in all pics, but better in the later ones.

Now for some pics of the latest near finished car from the shop:

You guys have seen this guy out at dday 4 and 5 with the green hatch on the G35 wheels in back and 5zigens in front. He had the 27 from one of our go-karts on the front bumper at dday5 and my custom bent exhaust tip... heh

We call him D4 now cause he met a dumpster out street drifting at a local spot 'Dori Dori Dumpster Destroyer'

Last up is my daily-driver rockin' some Z33 wheels, hahaha

great work sean! seems like everything lined up perfectly, atleast in the pictures. I can't wait to hear that beast run.

oh and tonymac's car is sick! i love the pink cage, it makes me happy in my pants.

[drft_wannabe]

this might be a dumb question. but whatever. i havent looked for prices yet but what was the estimated price of converting the front end to the s14 kouki?

[piner]

Awesome i love the S14 front end on the s13 coupe that it teh hottness

ohhh and that S13 will experience something it never has before... TORQUE!!

[paul kersey]

i like the s14 kouki front more than the s13 silvia.
looking good.

[Funk]

cool i like the kouki front end.
ive always wanted to do it but im too poor.

i want to do it on a hatch though, i think it would flow better.
are you going to run any wing ?

[FreeThinker]

Finally got things sorted and engine running tonight. Sounds pretty rad, definitely not the typical 240sx sound

File opens with QuickTime. Sorry for the quality, the only thing we had handy was TonyMac's camera phone. That's Tim fron Ter-Tech doing the throttle as I started the engine.
