Truly impressed.
Care to take a second and fill us in on how you got to where you are in terms of car related knowledge?
How did you get where you are financially that you can have both of these projects running while being unemployed?
It would be nice if you could take a second and fill us in, sort of a "the man behind the machine" introspective.
Thanks alot.
And again, very nice work.

How are you going to address throttle control, ABS, stability control, speedometer, tach, and all the other electrical gadgetry that is controlled by the various onboard computers? I'm assuming the engine will be controled by a standalone ECU. Building the motor is the really easy part especially when it's out of the car, but wiring that badboy in will be the fun part 
It's a hell of a project.
My project would be a 6L LS2 into a base 350Z

I come from an automotive background. My father was the distributor for Garrett turbos, Mack Trucks, was part owner of a Honda Accord and Civic assembly plant in Tejerías, Venezuela, and owned 3 car dealers in Caracas (GM, Toyota, and Honda/Mitsubishi). I've always been fascinated with auto sports and have been messing with everything from car stereos to engine tweaking.
I'm a consultant and being self-employed gives me the ability to not take any clients for the next 6 months while I develop my build.
Thank you for the support

I'm definitely doing away with the wing but I don't think I'm ready to part ways with the Volks. Other than that the car looks pretty much OEM besides the seibon hood and greddy evo TT.

Better be a lot more than 400 my friend. Many of us have over 400 wheel with just a TT kit and a stock block.

You are going through all this to have one of the only G45's in the world.
Major props for taking on this project. I can't wait to see when this thing is done. Too bad I don't live closer, I would love to come check it out.
