Re: nis720 KA-T build

Looking good. Is that red paint inside the block, or some other kind of coating? It's Glyptal Insulating paint. It's suppose to help with the oil drain back. It's not a proven theory as to how effective it is but it was worth a shot. The other thing I'm waiting on is painting the outside of the blo...

Re: nis720 KA-T build

Damn, that sucks it blew. Built motor time? The trans cover plate looks good. LOVE IT!!! You love that he blew it up? Motor ran great for 4 years untuned. Pinging under heavy load and top end. I think that's what took it's toll on the motor. Now that I got it tuned and beefed up the trans is when i...

Motor ran untuned for 4 years with occasional pinging and I think it was already hurt. This would explain the numbers not bei...

Battleling some heat issues with the intake temp. This is on a conservative tune and only revving to 5500rpm. I think there's more power up top but didn't want to push it till I get the new head in and turbo cam. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d193/nis720/Turbo/fb6060d8-4bcb-4586-a54e-1f3baf53383...

I have no idea what it will put down, but this is definitely one of my favorite builds on this forum. That "upskirt" pic is nice! The rear wheels, tires, and stance are dead sexy. I assume your shifter isn't buzzing like mine or you would have mentioned it..? I have a big hole where the s...

Nice. Yours looks much better than mine! Luckily it's under the car where no one will see it. I also just posted a comment in your build thread about rattling/buzzing from the Mazworx shifter that you may want to be aware of.

Looks great man. I just got my Mazworx/Z32 setup in this weekend. One thing I want to warn you about is that the shifter rattles/buzzes like crazy. I've searched online and it seems like it's a common gripe about the Mazworx shifter. Luckily, I have a loud stereo that I can crank up to drown it out...

Sorry guys, I don't check this as often as I should. I don't have any photos of the modifications done so I drew it up quickly to hopefully explain it better. The red bracket thing is the shifter bracket. The black triangles are just 3/16" plate triangles that I cut and welded into each bend(4...

Finally got my trans in and testing the Xcessive shortened shifter bracket on my truck.... it feels really flimsy, simply pushing down it flexes. I will post pics of the gussets once I get them done.
