Thanks man.

I live near Gray.

Well, selling the 400 hopefully now, he just got an LS400.

Yup, JZX90 Chaser Swap.

The car runs beautifully, it was the 12v+ for the ALT, and one coil pack plug was loose.

I was just drifting it the snow the other day, tons of fun!

kool. i need to do a rebuild on my rb as my piston compression is low -60 across the engine. iam going to tx2k12 before i do that though.

and i also hacked up a mk3 supora clutch pedal and using the sc300 master is much easier and a better fit.

and thank you for showing me i have to cut and clock that wastegate manifold flange. iam going to get the same godspeed set here in a little bit..

i had a ls400 way way way too heavy for me.

Hopefully the end result will be a lot of rev limiter action!

And actually Today I registered and insured the car, so the irony is there was a bunch of rev limiter action!

10psi Hx35 gotta be 300 HP.

The Diff is holding up nicely after I TIG welded it.

It handles great, no drama other then the scrubbing noise at low speed corner. I can deal.

The 4.27 Auto diff goes great with the powerband of the HX35, keeps it right in the sweet spot!

I love life now.

ah, yes. i wasnt aware it only cost you $600 ! nice.

but wouldn't another $~500 on a less rusty shell improve your overall well being and ability to re-sell the car? maybe that's just me.

A non-rusty shell in New England for $1000!? That's pretty funny too!

Rust can be replaced with new metal, an re-selling the car isn't one of my concerns.

Not too many GTE SC300's out there, someone will bite if it does happen.

In my own thread? Yup, I do win. Clearly "Looks" aren't as important to me then it is to you.

TN -> ME is $850 bucks to ship it here, there goes all your "savings".

MegaMax- That will work just fine. I ended up welding mine right to the Hotside output flange.

You doing a Holset too?

Nice !! Love that Sound the only thing I would change will be the 4.27 ratio , it's kind of too short but the car pulls hard lol.
