Tuning there are 2. Mainstream in Dallas, GA and Motorvation Motorsport in Trussville. I use the Machine shop that Motovation uses. I've known Jim since I was 17. He's expensive, cut and dry but you'll get what you need. His machinist is very good. There are other cheaper ones.
Did you read up on chippin the p28 ecu? By the looks its on the R18 and all your doing is soldering a piece of metal to cause the relay to jump back. But thats what I assume. Pullapart time!
Edit: Ive read that you need a different motor mount as well. You read anything on this?

you cam make your auto P28 into a 5speed one if you are good with solder.
i highly recommend brevard cylinder head for bottom end and head builds. good prices, fast work, and they will get everything done right no matter what.
Is there any specific brand of ecu chip kit that I should get for my p28 ecu?
I found this one on ebay with a mugen chip

no.
if you want a tune, do it right and get a P28 chipped with Neptune RTP

the s100 is very bare bones and a PITA to tune with i hear...
the S300 is comprable to the Neptune RTP but the Neptune system has more features for a lil bit more...
the tune is the single most important part of a build, so getting a good system is worth the extra money IMO.
Yeah I was guna go with s300
Well worked on the car some tonight, been real tired from work here lately so havent felt like it. Got the dash, steering column and blower box out. Also Got everything but fuel lines and rear brake lines out of the bay.
Plans right now are:
Figure out how I want to tuck the fuel lines and brake lines
Shave some crap off the bay and paint
Tuck headlight harnesses
Ive also decided against swapping motors from my dx, so this will continue to be an ongoing project. Around income tax time all the parts and motor work will begin. Until then ill be focused on the body, interior and suspension.

Im almost jealous from reading on this build, but from how it sounds this is going to be very nice in the end. Meh, im just trying to get it road eligable and to enjoy a 5 speed lol. Im putting the current z6 i pulled out on a motor stand and build on it once i get my sound system right. Drivability, sound, interior, then a rocking rebuild on the other z6. We should meet at the strip when we get them running again and watch some races.
Hell yeah man, im ready to drive mine but im going to take my time and do everything right the first go around. Its guna be a ton of work but I think it will pay off at the end.
Took a couple pics of how it sits right now, some body damage im going to fix after the motor is done and some of the brake & fuel line tuck parts ive got in.
Still need to figure out how im going to run the plug for the power steering pressure line
Will be drilling out the spot welds for the srs mounting bracket and mounting the porp valve here.

Yeah its great having a garage to just tear something apart and have it sit there for as long as you want lol.
Scored a rear disc swap and 4040 prop valve from pull a part today, only $60 for it all. Sorry for shitty cell pics
Yeah I couldnt even find anyone with them here local and anywhere else was like $150 or more. I had to take several trips to pull a part to find them but it was worth it.
