Engine bay was red before we just spray bombed it flat black for now.

Plan on doing something with the alum. intake piping sooner or later, still alot of things need done.

I was watching this build over on the V8 Silvia boards. Glad to see there has been more progress made. My wife would love the pink valve covers and wheels... Car sounds sick too.

How i sits now. Took it for a 45 min drive today to touch up the VE tables(100* outside FTL) but wiring under the engine bay is all cleaned up wired in a switch so the gf can power the reverse solenoid to make it easier going into reverse. Gotta wire up and mount the oil pressure gauge and coolant gauge and get the speedo working.

Took it out tonight and tune is 95% done just need to lean it out a little above 6k rpms but ran out of time, but did put 100 miles on it. i did a 2nd gear roll to the top of 4th and this ****** moves.26" tire 4.08's and a H&C annnnnnd this is what it weighs with 1/2 tank of gas, before the swap it hit the scales at 2720 with 1/4 tank so i bet it only gained 10-20lbs with the ls1 and t-56 swap.

Lol I didn't even know this thread existed.... Thanks everyone.... And yes, I am thankful for Shane's mad skills. It pays to be dating a tuner. Saving lots of money there.
