I’ve ocasionaly droped in for a read but never posted…Moved to Edmonton back in January, my S14 is still in my garage in newfoundland waiting for me to ship it up. Hopefully it’ll be here in the next few months! Autox’d it a lot, drifted it where i shouldn’t, and now it needs some tlc before next summer. Going KA-T for sure, not sure if i’ll ditch the nitrous. Didn’t know if there were any guys here into KA, i know SR’s are popular. Speaking of which anyone whose ditched their KA i’d be more than happy to take it off your hands and start my build before the car gets here…if anyone here likes to chat KA drop me a PM for my AIM or MSN… Anyway, not to bore you all, just figured i’d introduce myself before i start posting…oh i’m driving a mitsu ralliart for a daily (yawn), but i might auto x it before the season is out just to see some nice nissans, not many back home, when’s the next event? Thanks! Adam ---

> [@Nis240](#): > > KAT…Check Welcome to the Forum, nice to see a little originality every once in a while. Do you frequent [KA-T.org](http://KA-T.org)?? No i usually read NICO, every so often i’m bored and read [KA-T.org](http://KA-T.org) and [turbo240.com](http://turbo240.com) fourm, but usually if i got a question i’ll ask Ivan or one of the other seasoned KA guys…if you don’t know who ivan is your reading the wrong fourms, lol… As for original, yea, thats the idea. But i also see a lot of things in the KA that i find more apealing then the SR…for a long time i wanted a RB, but owning a R33 is only a few years away so KA it is…besides, with all the online support and parts availible its not such a backyard, blow a few engines and keep trying thing unless you cheap out on it…i’d like it to be ready for next season but its not something i plan to rush…if the setup isn’t done but if the cage, new wheels, brakes and ecu are done i may run it NA for a few events if i havn’t hacked those parts to death… And i just might have to come watch the event, i’ll register just incase, since its the last one of the season…why does it end so early? Anyway, i could go on for hours, so if you like to chat KA or have the time to share your setup or what problems you’ve had…post…or pm…or just smile and nod, lol… Adam ---

K, I just have a problem with the originality comment (I would point this out regardless of what engine I had.) There definitely arent as many KATs around compared to SRs… but I don’t see turboing the KA as original. Thousands have done it already… From [dictionary.com](http://dictionary.com): -new; fresh; inventive; novel: an original way of advertising. -arising or proceeding independently of anything else: an original view of history. -capable of or given to thinking or acting in an independent, creative, or individual manner: an original thinker. -created, undertaken, or presented for the first time: to give the original performance of a string quartet. A KAT fits none of those definitions. Sorry. 🙂 ---

Sorry. 🙂 Good point! And while the phrase “original” was used in a prior post and i just latched on to it i feel my setup will still be somewhat “original” with regards my approach to the KA…that being said, “different” would be a better choice…“original” is probaly better suited to say a cf S14 with a F22 honda motor running 300hp NA, lol…but now if someone does that it was my idea first, haha… And please don’t ask me what my different approach will be, because i hate it when people post “this is my planned setup” or “what do you think of this” and just post the most expensive parts or copy strait outta a mag…as i fab it, i’ll post pics…got a line on an engine so it maybe quite soon! ---

Ok guys, different strokes for different folkes…this thread has served my purpose in introducing myself, finding me an engine, and some turbo’d KA’s…i don’t mind if its locked, i can see NECC is no different than other fourms in that someone always has to ruin it for everyone else… Adam ---
