To be honest no clue haha

Dude pretty sweet build. Me jealy

One day.. One day I will have a build thread

[Z-owned]

Your making me jealous! Pretty much everything I am planning on doing with my own build eventually.

[dbestiz1]

This has shaped up into a beautiful build thread. Do you have anything planned for braking and suspension? Either way keep up the good work.

^^ Thanks .. But hey day comes for all of us...

Yes BUT they both have to wait till my money is right I am just going to have to take it easy till I have the brakes and suspension.

Im going to go with brembo brakes and tien edfc (so ill get some tien coilovers havent decided on which ones tho..) All the other suspension mods will be powertrix..

[DCaff300ZX]

Super nice stuff man, can't wait to see your results!
And why not powertrix coilovers if you get the rest?

[300ZXttZMAN]

Because I want to run tien edfc ( I wish powertrix had it)

[Ace2cool]

I honestly don't see the big deal about EDFC. That's just something else I gotta mount somewhere for something I'm never going to change. You find a good setting and stick with it.

[DCaff300ZX]

I kinda agree Ace, a good setup you just keep and it covers the most situations you'll face.
BUT, I suppose that a small amount of tweaking from the driver's seat couldn't hurt...but I also don't think I pay up for Tein and EDFC over Powertrix.

[TTkickedin]

Ya to me the edfc is a waste unless you're building a no-s*** track car and you need multiple suspension setups for different tracks. It's pretty cool technology nonetheless.

Something you can buy with edfc money, (coupled with money from your own pocket,) would be some JWT 272 cams (unless that's already on your list)

See I am setting my car up to keep it classy so the little bit of adjustment that i can do with the edfc when im in the driverseat is perfect when i pick up a lady friend, that way the ride will be much smoother.. So to me its very worth it.

I love the stock damper adjustment I use it all the time...

[300ZXttZMAN]

Small update: We have been very busy at the shop buisiness is picking up since school has begun

Im going to try once again and leave today a little bit early to go scoop up my motor.. Pics will come when I get it back to our shop..

[TTkickedin]

No mean to threadjack, Speaking of stock damper adjustment, IDK if this has ever been covered on nico but are there some good quality aftermarket performance dampers compatible with the stock damening adjuster?

Back on topic, so what about cams? Y U NO answer?! lol

No, you could make something to work with Tokico Illuminas, but IIRC the KYBs are adjustable via the wheel well. Even with the Tokicos, it would only be two positions, unless you made a dial in-car.

I dont want cams because I dont want to have to d|ck with idle all the time.. Plus the cams in the motor right now are in damn good shape they checked out real good.. Clearences ect.. Ect..

[TTkickedin]

Ok then, do your thing! lol. I need Pic updates bro!! I can't wait till this things done man. Props

[300ZXttZMAN]

Im going to try and get some pics up tomorrow of the bare block

[300ZXttZMAN]

Ok so I picked up the block when i got the block i noticed they didn't do a couple of things i wanted them to do... Like weld the crank weight. Bore/clean water passages so I brought my block back to them... Which means now its going to take longer... But i want everything done and done RIGHT.. So I have to wait.

[McShanks]

Yes, much MUCH better to have it done right the first time.
Keep it up, good luck!
