Sick. I can only hope to one day have as many cars as you, that are half as badass and a wife who loves them as much as me

zmech — 2009-10-13T07:32:15-08:00

I am jelous of the garage. Damn!

virus77 — 2009-10-13T01:04:58-08:00

Very nice looking Z, hard to find a clean looking shell like that to even work with. How are you going to be wiring it... let me know cuz I had some bad experiance running the RB efi system through the original Z harness, I switched over to a track car-ish system with relays/switches powering most things RB and the car feels much better... might have just been my car but im throwing it out there for consideration.

Think I'll book a trip to Surprise when you get her going... or just near the end so I can wrench on her a little bit and be there for the maiden voyage.

*More Updates*

Bella came home today! She'll be here for 6 weeks, so you will see plenty of updates.

-The motor and tranny are in.

Greg and I will be working on the interior, installing the gas tank, the brakes, we have to find an intercooler and an S13 throttle cable, and other little odds and ends. It's more than enough to keep us busy with our schedules.

Here's some pics I snapped today. Enjoy!

Just wanted to drop by and take a look at the Z you were talking about.
Awesum-o awesomeness.

Also AZ, I need your opinion on the cover, thanks.

Re: (AZhitman)

audtatious — 2009-06-24T22:10:27-08:00

Send me the G or the Vert. I'll get them all fixed up and pimp them around here....

l0nestar — 2009-06-24T21:41:15-08:00

Lovin the S30 Greg! That 25 should make it move!

AZhitman — 2009-06-24T09:25:11-08:00

The vert just pooped her turbo.

The 320 crapped her brakes, and the 311 followed suit.

The G scared us with a bad battery drain and a mysterious knock (turned out to be a plastic cover flapping), both have been fixed.

The 411 decided she didn't like electronic ignition and spilled lots of smoke from her coil wiring.

Thank God for Bex's Frontier - We have 10 cars and it's the only one we can always count on!

audtatious — 2009-06-24T08:35:02-08:00

Soon as you and G get most of the cars running I will plan a visit to AZ. Last time I was there he almost melted the 'vert and I simply had the chance to drive the G (pre-SC tho ).

Becky will be driving it.

I don't think anyone will get past the fact that there's a girl piloting the awesomeness.

evildky — 2009-06-08T21:11:37-08:00

yeah but when you put it down at the track and people come over to see whats under the hood, you open up to reveal an L6 and they ask "whats that" you tell them and they have a dumbfounded liik

you open the hood to reveal an RB and they say, "dang boy thats a mad tight jdm yo skyline motor, my homeboy is putting one in his jdm neon"

I suppose "one of 10" is an exaggeration...

Let's just say "not terribly common", but faster than a scaldedass cat.

Circumstances have changed again.

Not only is she now remaining in the family, but this coming weekend, she's going under the knife for a heart transplant.

My lovely fiancee will be keeping you guys posted on the progress, but suffice it to say, it will be one of about 10 of its kind in existence when it's finished...

Hmmmm... What could it be?

GNZ? nto many of those, there are more than 10 RB, more than 10 SR, VH? VQ?

Words cannot describe how much I want that car.

AZhitman — 2009-03-19T08:08:35-08:00

Circumstances have changed.

She now not only has a name ("Bella"), but she'll be remaining in the family for the time being.

I'm going to plan a week-long "Tech Week" sometime later in the year to get her roadworthy, so stay tuned... She's gonna be brought back to life.

Keep 'em running, guys!

pch — 2009-02-17T13:45:19-08:00

Good to hear Greg! Just got to wait till the end of this month or middle of next and if u still got it i will pick it up for sure. Being real busy with the house painting, buying furniture, appliances and what not in order to get that out the way as quickly as possible to pick this up.

AZhitman — 2009-02-17T13:28:32-08:00

Yep - Motor dropped in, trans mount bolted up, and all the spare parts / new parts packed inside the car. Ready to roll out.

Motor was a no-go, had to redo the rear brakes on the Roadster.

Hopefully in a week or so, though!
