Thanks man, im going to be updating with more close up and angled shots this weekend plus some interior shots. Been hard at work on this thing and its still not done, always takes way longer than you think.

Ok, quick update, i found out the fueling problem was coolant temp sensor not being wired in (thanks to mod_mastaz) so i did that up and now the car at least idles ok with AFRs of about 12.5 with all my fuel options turned down to -50 on the NEO. Since it took all day to get that working and the battery is dead and currently charging, i will be doing the timing tomorrow as well as lots of driving and tuning to get it running right. And i PROMISE i will update with some sweet photos by the end of the weekend. Everytime i look at the car i keep thinking how badass it looks and how i need to get driving it so i can find a good spot for pictures. I keep saying i will but ive been so busy getting it running and licensed for the road that i havent had time so look for them soon (for real this time lol). As well, going through all the appraisal issues the past few weeks have kept me busy, but on an interesting note, the appraiser has "estimated" the value of the car at over $10 000!!! i couldnt believe it, however he still isnt finished so i dont have a final number yet but its good to know if the car ever got stolen i would get some serious cash for it.

VERY nice build bro!!
Really like the way the Silvia front end turned out. Flows nicely.
The only thing that was left to be amazed on was the engine swap. I would have spent more time getting it nicer under the hood as you did to the outside!

Next is getting it running right, i havent even driven it because i want it to idle properly before i take it for a spin. I've been wracking my brain and searching the net nonstop to figure out what the hell could be wrong. In a few weeks i'm getting an oem sr20 MAF and injectors to see if that works but until then there shouldnt be anything wrong with my setup the way it is. Ill still keep searching. Over the winter i'm going to repaint the front bumper and remove the s13 bodyline that it has, i also am going to be looking into custom interior as i know how to fibreglass. Maybe also some weight reduction. Everything else on the car is as done as it will get lol.

Wow... Very nice build Doug. The flares and paint turned out great.

Super clean man, very nice!
Where did you get/ what is the gauge pod from? Seems to work quite nicely...

great job

or comes this support?

Thanks guys!
Bluke1: the wheels are Rota RB series 15x7 +25 up front and 15x8 +04 in the rear. They were really cheap. The least expensive rims as close to 0 offset as i could get.
200sxkitcar: The gauge pod is actually from an 90 240sx, i used a blowdryer to straighten it out a bit because it had a slight curve where our steering column is flat. It still didnt come out as straight as i wanted it to but as soon as i put the bolt through the center of the two pods if fit up nicely. the only issue is it doesnt quite come flush to the sides of the column but you cant tell unless you can manage to get your head behind the steering wheel lol
