well after months of being fat and lazy i finally got started on the tear down. ive also been thinking about dropping in a small block chevrolet mainly because it would really clean the engine compartment up a bit with a lot less wires, but i have also been thinking about going turbo with the KA. what do you guys think?

Be conservative and go to the pinch......JK go to the rocker that's what I'm doing to mine BTW when u roll the pinch do it when ur wide awake cause a hammer will put a nice dent in the rocker

wow, i completely forgot about this site. quick update on the truck. in the middle of this project i decided that i no longer cared about bagged vehicles or car clubs. i sold the engine, trans, and wheels and gave the body to a friend of mine to scrap. hes got it for sale on mautofied if anyone wants to bring this truck back to life lol.http://www.mautofied.com/2000-Nissan-frontier_Project/listing/100376265/

i may own another nissan, but i damn sure wont own another bagged vehicle........
