I'm confused to how those back wheels can even hold air with all that lip showing.

Cars like this are the reason I had to buy a FC even though I shouldn't have.

Im very suprised your NA diff/axles have held up.. Do you track or mostly daily? It takes hard launches?

I drive it 3 times a week usually. I'm pretty easy on it for the most part besides the occasional kick around a corner or 1-3 gear burny.. as far as hard launches go, it mostly just spins the tires.. but i havent broken anything to date!

That fitment! Car looks awesome. This has me flip flopping between a JZ and a v8 swap so much. Props!

JZ swaps are so awesome. I think the v8 swap is a lot a easier though

The lt1 is great for the price. never had any issues with it. I just sold my FN01-RC but I contemplated polishing them at one point!

Car is definitely clean, I can see doing a v8 swap in an FC more feasibly then in a FD. Glad to see it look as clean as it does too

Nice job man. I have never seen your FC before, you a member on NOROTORS?

White is such a clean color on the FC and the Infiniti rear bumper pieces are a sweet touch. Top notch job bud and that LT1 looks like you could eat off of it!

Great looking car! That engine bay is excellent.

I recently picked up the same engine and transmission for a similar deal and will be taking on the swap soon. Did you use any online resources for information regarding the swap or just figure it out? Looks like you're in the industry so I assume the latter. Specifically, I'm looking for information on what I can and can't get rid of from the LT1 to simplify it, vacuum and electronics, etc.
