-battery relocation to the trunk into a SARD battery box
-os Giken str twin plate clutch
-nismo clutch pivot
-turbo rebuild by myself
-egr removal (yes the european sr20 has an egr system)
-general maintance
-kouki taillights

what i want to do:
-solid subframe bushings
-engine and transmission mounts

thanks guys!!
Nice ride man, where are you in Germany? I was stationed there in Hanau and Baumholder for the US Army. Love driving over there, and I'm not just talking about the Autobahn, my favorite drive that I drove everyday for awhile was B41 from Idar-Oberstein to Bad Kreuznach. Lots of fun on that one.

See, these are the kinds of thoughts that get me in trouble with my wife. Although, it does have some serious potential. I wonder how long I'd be in the doghouse?
well you guys would only need the s14 ecu (zenki model) and the harness from a european car. but avoid the british ones they are lhd too:P
the reason why a zenki model ecu would work but a kouki wouldnt is, that the european s14s cam with NATS (nissan anti theft system). on the zenki it controlled with a remote and on the kouki it is a chip that sits in the key. because of the rising popularity of the s14 as a track car etc all the owners started to remove their NATS which is very simple in the zenki model.
so nissan linked the ecu of the koukimodel to the nats, means that if you rip out the ecu and replace it with a zenki one it wouldnt work because the ecu is connected to the nats and the car will only start if the right key, the right ecu and the right nats control unit are used.
cliffs:
european kouki ecu=fail
euro zenki ecu = yay!
if someone REALLY is interested in doing this pm me ill see if i can hook you up.
