jamie,



this the car u got from the states?

 

No, this is my original car. The US car is still "Pending", though I should know either way tonight. If it falls through, I might cross over to the dark side and get a vert.



I've had this one about 1.5 years. It was 12a when I got it, and it is now GSL-SE 13b. It has a bunch of Leigh and Scott's parts in it, since they both parted their cars while I was building.



Lemme see if I can figure out this new fangled forum...

 

shouldn't u be redesigning the colbolt instead of surfing nopistons?

 

Hey guys I see from the thread here people mentioning Tiger Japanese auto, do yourselves a favour, and DO NOT deal with them!! I bought an s5 turbo motor from them, when I got it home, the motor would only turn 1/3 of the way! and, the compressor wheel on the turbo was chewed up!! When I went back, they said that they had no more motors, but in plain site, I could see 4 or 5 of them!! Anyways, I went to a place on Dixie Road, and got a great motor for $850 taxes in! I forget the name of the place, but I will let you know when I remeber. As for my winter progress, I sold my 1990 turbo II (Shawn is pissed! ) but, I am looking for a nice convertible, or clean NA as I have my old blown TII motor that I want to rebuild and drop in. Also, I am looking for a 1990-1994 nissan 300zx for my wife, if anyone knows of one for sale, please get a hold of me!

i know several people who have bought from tiger imports. They ahve a two week startup guarentee. If it goes past two weeks and u come back and say the motor is crap, they can't help you. You obviously have to be a careful buyer and bring a wrench to try to turn the motor, look at the condition of the turbo charger and any related accessory. Listen for wooshes as the motor compresses and stuff like that.

 

Pissed isnt the word, Im gonna kick your sorry lil ***!! Ok just kidding but that was fun to type. Milan you better start kepping in touch or this relationship is over. I cant play second fidle to you wife all the time, its me or no one. Wow did that ever sound GAY LOL



Anyways glad to hear you still crave the style of the 7 and want to keep in the rotary world. Your looking at what i would also like to have down the road (along with the FD) a nice S4/S5 convertible would be a beaut!! I acctually saw some chick driving a black one a few weeks ago. Nice looking car, only if i had tons of money like Rich i would buy one.



Give me a shout on Sat if you want. Ill be taking out the UIM(takes an hour) and drinking beer (takes about 5 hours) so it should be a full days work LOL

 

Well, they say the first year of marriage is the hardest, i'm just making sure I survive it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I'm not giving up op on rx's yet, I just want to make my wife happy (300zx), and I want a project to tackle (the rx). I found a few vert candidates, but I really want an s5, so I am still looking. mmm vert turbo, it would be a great ride I would think! I am heading out to Ottawa to check a few 300's this weekend, but any other time I am up for stopping by, and my garage is still available if you need a hand. Btw, when are you going to tackle the vacuum lines?

RSTURBO - stop your search I have the car for you. I have an s5 vert that I did a widebody conversion to as well as a turbo conversion. I am going to sell it minus the motor but with the TII tranny. So all you would have to do is drop in the motor, harness and ECU and you've got a smokin ride. If you want more info pm me your number and I'll give you a call. I have spent over $17,000 on this car it will not disappoint.

 

when i buy my motor i plan to go with a battery and compression tester so the only thing i'll have to worry about is the coolant seals
