I was out there today, but when I went to the Nissan section, there were no pre B15s. I saw all the cars toward the end, but everyone was leaving as I walked over. I stuck around the garages since a buddy of mine was running in the Time Attack.

It was my second time attending Import Alliance. For some reason I just got bored rather quick. Only a few things really stood out to me. The LS1 swapped 240sx was nice. But for the most part it was as if I just kept seeing the same thing over and over again. You guys know what I mean.

ya so i seen a couple of pre b15s early on sat including shelnut and his boy i got stuck parking outside and putting a ls1 in a 240 is a disgrace to nissan a rb is a far better implant and is way cooler if he wanted a ls1 he should of bought a corvette or camaro.thats why i think nico club is garbage they are a site claiming to love everything nissan infinity but two of the calendar cars weren't even nissan powered one was getting a 2jz and the other was ls1 im sure there are enough nissan powered cars to make a damn calendar

I thought the LS powered S14 was nice. It was a change up from the usual primered and beatup wanna be drift cars. The engine swap was clean and so was the interior. True a VQ or a Titan V8 swap would have done the job too, but it looked like a job well done.

I didn't really care about the show part, I spent all my time in the pit area, unless we were walking to either set of stands to watch.

Although some believe that the LS1 swap was blasphemy, I believe that it was unique. You don't see that kind of swap often. I would think that a lot of craftsmanship went into that car. Back in the day old muscle car guys would do the same thing. I used to see Datsun Z cars swapped with 350 Chevrolet motors quite often. The 240sx at IA was what I would call an updated tradition from that. I seen an article in a magazine about a year or so ago. Super Street or something like that. In that magazine they swapped an S2000 engine into a 240sx. Now that is beyond blasphemous.

My car woulda been there. The retarded red one. BUT, my friends are awesome and demand all my attention, and I wasn't able to even fix an exhaust leak to drive it out there. Oh well, I'm bored. Maybe a should b18 or K swap my se-r.

i was out there sat at lunch. I think I saw a friend or two but faces that i haven't seen in ages are becoming blurry. lol. I saw 1 or 2 B13s the red one with TSu tunning or something like that. I was there with my 4 year old and wife so we didn't stay all day just a couple hours.

I didn't even see a single B14 there besides mine. And I wasn't even parked inside the show area.
