Worth it, to go F.I.???

Once I settle down and get my own pad in about 6-12 months, this big project is financially the last thing on my mind.

In terms of labor cost, a high estimate of 30 hours at 110-125/hr. The labor charges I got quoted includes installation of the kit, oil cooler, aftermarket gauges in the stock location (requires removal of entire dash), clutch/flywheel/CSC, and rear camber kit.


The cost of the kit is the retail price on GTM's website. You can order a brand new VR38 intake plenum off a Nissan parts site like Courtesy, but it's not plug and play. I got mine used from a blown motor. Look at the White Dragon project in the F.I. section. It's just a waiting game with GTM to see when they finish the intake manifold and start selling the retrofit kit. That's what's holding me up right now, but at least it'll buy time to pay off stuff.
