I second that, I needed to install my altima fans with the thermo switch but since its so damn cold, I don't need it.

S14: Moving down to 17's and away from the 18" 350Z heavy weight rims.

Starting on TWO new projects, first and fore most... Building/Rebuilding the original beast from the east... the infamous Datsun 240Z. Dropping the new Shelby 5.4 Supercharged pony engine in her... that 5.4 is cheaper than an LS7, but power output is the same. This car will take years to finish, but worth every second of working on her.

Second project is working on this Soarer that just ended up landing on my lap. Not sure if I want to do a 2JZ or just pick up another Shelby 5.4 SC. Also will take years to complete.

I figured I need a nicer daily when my brother takes the S14 and I want to build some bad a** cars that will make the ricers drool.

Funny thing about the Soarer, at Thanksgiving, everyone in the family thinks its worthless, but when I mentioned the Z... everyone just had this shocked blank look like I was too young to even know about it... I'm 26... on top of that, my younger cousin has one as a daily. Why would they be shocked???

I definitly will... problem is coming up with 30K for 2 motors. I know for sure the Z will get a Shelby 5.4... the Soarer might get something far less expensive. Maybe settle for LS2 instead.

Reason why I want a Ford motor in a Z is because theres way too many SBC in them... there are some Ford Z's, but not enough and I love the sound of the Super Snake. Well, thats what the new guys are calling the new Shelby GT500... I do know there is another Mustang called the Cobra, but the sound of that Shelby is just so damn beautiful, its almost like getting head from Carmella DeCesar.

I'd say late 2000, early 2001 is when the honda heads became Nissan fans. I was into Silvias around 1998 when I saw the first ever SR powered S14 (in CA) smoke an NSX at Sac Race Way. That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then my cousin kept telling me to buy the 240Z... Now I know why
