New guy with rb s13

Hey guys Im new to the site, My name is Joe and I live in Mobile AlabamaIm originally from Ohio. Anyway my pride and joy is my 91 awd Talon, It is by far one of the nicest 1g's around, and very very fast. But next to that in the garage is my 92 Nissan 240sx coupe. It has an RB26 in it with single t67 turbo hks cams and the normal exhaust and fmic and some other things. It also has a full r32 body on it, headlights, fenders, hood, side skirts, side folding mirrors, rear tails, bumpers, trunk lid ect. It rns great and is in good shape. I plan on doing the RHD conversion in the near future.
Below are pics of the 240, and one of the talon just for kicks.

both are very sharp cars, I favor the sky40, but the 4G63 is a nasty powerplant

and its AWD to say the least.
I just don't like the looks of it, (I like yours) but thats just me.

BTW, is that the exhaust in front of the front drivers wheel?

Yes that is the dump tube for the wastegate. I appreciate all of the good comments. I am a diehard dsm guy, but Ive always wanted a skyline, the are just too damn expensive. So a while back I sold my 93 Rx7 (f*ck that rotary sh*t!!) and decided to give the nissan thing a try, I like where this project is going. I just have a few minor things to work out, like my cluster took a ****, and the interior is crappy. I think Im just going to go all black interior for now until I can locate the right hand drive stuff that I need. But it runs good, I have dyno time here in about a week so I will post up some numbers and pics of it then.

Wow, very nice....as stated before i thought it was an R32, but that is just because the bodywork is so nice. AWD talons are def quick, just not really my preference....but if ya saw the car i had before my S13....lol.

Very nice cars and I have MAJOR respect for the AWD Talons....Had a friend with a 12sec AWD Talon who I used to race with at the strip. Somehow he always lost my 15sec drag focus...one reason I love Bracket Racing.
