I got mine just about completed, just waiting for a new fuel pressure regulator(new fuel pump blew mine out) and to get some parts painted and then final assy. I have had the motor running and it sound GREAT!

I didn't know you lived up in Albany Lonewolf. We have family up there you should get in contact with them.

Getting an RB in the city. I would talk to Yury and Jeff at Heavythrottle or the guys down at Jarco.

I thought yury and jeff only did sr20det swap not rb but their install prices are kinda high. but if i do not get a garage in albany i may have to pay someone to get it done. but then again nothing feels better than doing something yourself. plus haveing a friend to help.

and who's jarco i never heard of them.where are they located.

It isn't easy but it isn't impossible. Wiring just takes time.

I should be done with the car this weekend (the 21st) if the regulator comes from Japan, the body is getting painted monday and all the parts are already painted, putting the doors and motor back together today. Let me know when you want to see it and we will talk. I hope the rain stops, I want to take it to the track!!!
