    This is what ive been up to.

    I really havent been around much since I blew up my eta but Ive been up to something. Well, I finally got an m30!

    Ill post more pictures up of my eta later.
    This is the damage that was done. 2.7i dropped valve



    Pre smoked headlights






    ...Its an infiniti m30


    I picked this up from a local guy who had no idea what it was. The rear diff was blown to shreds and it had an idle issue.
    They only made somewhere around 12,000 of them.They share a ton of parts with a r31 skyline and a 300zx. Its powered by the vg30e, while being quite underpowered its potential is pretty amazing. The dash is identical to a skyline minus the wood trim. Never once did they come in a manual. Somewhere along the lines someone threw in a z31 300zx five speed. So I brought her home and made a few calls.




    I picked up a 300zx rear diff case and 240sx diff and (brent)
    Bkbimmer helped me out with my open diff problems




    I found out that you can switch these cars over to run all 240sx suspension. So i picked up all the needed parts and some megan inner tie rods for more steering angle. This is how she sits now.



    This car use to be on coilovers with a five lug swap so the p.o. used vice grips to "roll'' the fenders. Im trying to find another set but its next to impossible!

        Matt is just busting my balls. We have been talking about it and brent has some spare m30s laying around. It would then be project m20 squared.

        Are you the same david that has the widebody 24v swap?

                    It was for the first few seconds and then it was quiet but really underpowered haha. There is actually a vert down the street from me. Ive been trying to get him to sell it.

                    Hows your e30 coming?

                        It would then be project m20 squared.
                        m30 * m30 = m30 ^ 2

                        I thought that looked familiar. How have you been Nate?
