AND yet another problem... I took a peek today at my una-body, the frame is bent by about a 1/8 of an inch in the front, which as you can imagine, is not good for a drift car. BUT solution #1: My buddy (in Japan) has a black Z TT that is being parted out, all that is left is the dash, some interior, steering, and una-body... SOOOO make my car an American JDM type thingy.. What u think, shoot me back, peace

LOL LOL LOL LOL
You trip me out. First stop stressin'! Have a cool beverage of your choice and chill!
For all your little hoses and nickel and dime stuff, I have but one website and one alternative to that website. www.courtesyparts.com and/or your local Nissan dealers, I do stress 'dealers'. Keep in mind that different dealers compete with each other for our business, so call up several if you have the option to in your area. You'll find that not every dealer prices parts equally. You're not going to find a better source for oem parts than Nissan. Duh.
What interior parts? Like red stitched stuff? The cool seats? The instrument cluster? That would be cool if you can calculate kmh to mph while you drive. Isn't it ironic that USDM has both measurements and that overseas only has the metric system? Why not just take it to a body shop and have them straighten it? Seems like a lot less work.

unorganized beyond recognition... So what Im still a kid!
Sorry, forgot to tell you the reasoning for my engine selection... Ok, VQ30DETT (:V=Signifies lay-out and form of engine :Q=Series, forth V series engine created behind VE, VC, VG :30=2998cc =Dual cam :E=ECCS {Electronic Concentrate Control System} :TT=Twin Turbocharger (BEST part!) Just thought I would let you know what it stands for, haha. Anyways, I have chosen the VQ30DETT engine due to it is much more efficient than the VG30DETT due to its more modern layout. It also can lay claims to a higher compression, more Ferrari, or exotic sound to it. It can also handle larger turbos, although the ECU is a tad bit harder to modify, it is still a better engine. I am planning to add Skyline GTR Mines N1 turbos to her, after a new oil pump, blah blah blah and all that good stuff. Im hoping to pull out about 650hp, maybe about 600-610bhp. If you can think of a better engine than this, let me know... Although I am consider a VG35DE with a large single turbo kit from UAS. Anyways, shoot me back, peace

I like your plan.
Not conventional, interesting. I see you like to do things the hard way. Which is fine, if it works. Don't you also have to replace the transmission? I don't think the engine mounts, or transmission mounts are the same either. So it looks like you've got your work cut out for you. Good luck.
