Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

What was bad about the aem?

[newman]

I decided I was not happy with my aem. I'm waiting on a vipec plug in ECU. That'll be here next week. Sorry for the delay... :(

The vipec ECU is a board that actually fits into the stock ecu case. Far be it from me to put a stock ECU case in my car...


VVV Printing now

You must now know what a mother feels like when she gives birth to the most badass baby in the world! Figuratively speaking.

"oh gee, thanks for pointing that out after looking at the car for 30 seconds. I didn't notice it after I just spent 3 years looking at the car"

LOL. sorry but this made me laugh. Fuck that. I wish i even had like .0000000012434 of the knowledge to take on a project like this.
I can wait to see the videos. This will definately be a magazine feature.

[SamE30e]

Videos!

[newman]

I got nothin yet. Still tuning stuff.

I love reading this thread It always delivers. Not exactly my style or taste, but love the work you've put into it. I'm looking forward to videos!!

1 thing I can't believe you haven't changed since you've been so anal about everything else, is that roll cage. fitment looks way off, huge gaps from every panel?... Just doesn't seem up to the quality of the rest of the car.

The 2 things on the car that suck are the 2 things that I didn't do. The paint and the cage. However, there is plenty of headroom on the cage, so the "fit" of it doesn't really bother me.

Things that do bother me is that everyone always seems to have a comment about something...

"did you know that the paint is thin right here"

"oh gee, thanks for pointing that out after looking at the car for 30 seconds. I didn't notice it after I just spent 3 years looking at the car"

Fuck this fucking car is sick. I'd go with NOT AWD if it were me, you've already got the GTR roundel on there.

I'm hoping Sunday doesn't come to an end without pics, vids, updates, charts, etc.....

[bimmer_E30]

holy shit. this is crazy!

[Boosted E30]

Sick build, you are going to have major traction issues with that much power, my buddies gtr makes that much hp and spins the wheels in 1st, 2nd and 3rd on a awd car:crazy:
