Car looks sweet. A finished build is a finished build.

I'll be here. :D I'll be looking you up. :tup:

By the way. Does the scooter come with it?

hahaha we had sooo many jokes about the scooter that night... I even offered my friends 240 for it and the guy turned it down hahahaha

By the way I am revamping alot of stuff on the car... so it is on jack stands for the moment. We may also be pursuing another tuning avenue outside of Uprev... The car drives like a big turbo supra... about 400rwhp in the low rpm while its spooling then bam light speed! I have yet to take a full throttle pull.

If a business has a long reputation of bad or problematic transactions and you still decide to patronise their services, you have nothing to complain about and nobody should feel sorry for you. If you get burned before the problems are known, complain away, help prevent others. If you stand up for a lousy business and try to convince others "this time will be different", ask yourself why you are setting yourself to look bad and shouldn't you bare some guilt when more people get screwed over? I got no dog in this fight. But I have seen this over and over in all car forums.

Brother... I don't know how you haven't SHÍT yourself... The Canadian weed must be amazing, because you've paid them like $50k over... 2-3 years ago...(?)

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, man.

A machine shop in town here just did a 4.0L or 4.3L (cant remember which size) VHR stroker for a non-forum-member I know. Took them about 8-10 weeks with delays in backordered main bearings from ACL and the first set of pistons being the wrong pistons. Cost him less than $10,000 for the entire short block said and done and assembled ready and waiting for heads.

The customer paid around $5000-6000 up front for the parts, then the bill for the machine work, assembly, etc at time of delivery.

Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with this shop.

How much power does the car have now?

I know the big fuel pump was pulled out of it because it was found in one of the rescued cars that ended up getting finished and tuned somewhere else.

Is the GT-R manifold still on your car? I was under the impression that was also pulled off and put on the same car.

what shop phunk? just curious

Its a local walk-in-only family owned machine shop. I wouldn't post their info to a message board without their consent... especially this thread.

Most shops that rebuild engines can install a stroker kit. I believe the only specialty equipment an engine builder needs is just a cylinder honer, or whatever the hell it's called

Sort of... But in the VQ's case, a stroker generally involves wet sleeves; now removing most machine shops from the equation. The guy I know has a large investment into a Mazak machining center that is dedicated to performing wet sleeve installation. He also has experience with wet sleeving Nissan 60 degree V6s.

Also, a high end machine shop has an endless list of specialty equipment well beyond boring and honing for engine balancing and assembly. If the only equipment your builder has that you have never used before is for boring and honing, your odds of a successful build will be greater somewhere else.

I know the member who got my parts... We already had a several hour phone conversation about it.

We went even larger on the fuel pumps I will attach a pic of it next to an oem unit and a 340lph that most run...

Yes I still have the GTR intake manifold as well see my avatar...

As far as power is concerned... I am having the car gone through by a local mechanic that I trust. Once that is finished I will start a thread on this specific build.
