Update... Nov. 18th, 2012

Putting in the Engine and trans..

I've decided to drop the subframe and install the engine by sliding it under and lifting it up and bolting the subframe..

After that, we started it bolting up all the suspensions and brakes..

Brilliant way to do the engine install!! lol, seriously, it seems like it's a lot easier to do it that way =)

I've never heard of alcon brakes, where did you find them?

Is it safe to assume that this is the car you're bringing to DGRR this year?

Some photos from my journey to SEMA 2012..

Saw several of these..

This car from NYC was heading to SEMA...

Later found out that the 350Z was in the caravan with one of my rotary friend from NYC... Manny who owns this FD.

I've known Manny for many years and one of the few rotorheads who's been in FD's for over 10 years. I think he had his FD since 1994??

Anyhow, 3 day trip to Vegas, we saw several of these..

many many semi's and many of the wind power stations.

And finally made it to Vegas..

and to the convention center.. in que to get the car in..
