Brand new oem idler pulleys and belt tensioner! I'll get pics of the top end tonight when we flip her back over. I am kind of at a stand still as far as assembly goes on the engine because I broke a damn oil squirter gasket. :chuckle:

Tonight we are going to clean up the trans, alternator, starter, compressor ect..

Update!!!

Ok so friday night and saturday we worked on my Z and we made good progress but we ran into a wall when it got time to install the oil pressure sensor... It is clip is broke so the plug will not make a good connection so it didn't get installed I am about to order a new one so that we will be able to get the turbo's and manifolds on next weekend (maybe Thursday). Couldn't really get anything done friday night because I didn't have a 3/8ths drive torque wrench but I bought one saturday morning.

Yes the NA oil squirters are installed and the pick up tube :bigthumb:
So anyway here are the pics of we got done this weekend. I will have a much larger update next weekend.

Dave the pics a couple posts above are the only internal pics I have.

So yea guys like I said I will have a larger update when my latest package gets here from Specialty Z. :naughty:

Guys/Gals

This exhaust is sooo sexy I can't wait till I get it all installed!

Also notice the X-pipe how it crosses over I never could find any good pics of it so I figured I would post them up so people can see.

This is the Specialty Z 3" btw.

Also the bag of nissan parts were:
clamps for the coolant pipes
turbo oil return hoses with clamps
Gear rack boot (I saw one of mine had a little rip in it)
A little piece of fuel line
and some vac hoses.


Notice how Greg suprised me with the shirt and stickers :)

You're going to LOVE that exhaust. I personally prefer the dual round tips but to each his own. Best sounding and best flowing exhaust out there, IMO! Congrats :)

Yea but the reason why I didn't get the dual tips is because I wanted to be different hahaha. It seems like everyone has the dual round tips. I Love the look of the 2 big ovals though :yesnod

I can't wait to hear how it sounds.

First video is of mine with open test pipes.
http://s496.photobucket.com/albums/rr32 ... 14_777.mp4

This one is with the catback on but after I blew the rings so that's why it's smoking. And it's in my garage so it kinda echoes lol
http://s496.photobucket.com/albums/rr32 ... 23_101.mp4

And this one is the video that convinced me to get SZ exhaust. He's running 3">2.5" so just imagine an even deeper tone for full 3".

Thanks for sharing but its not accurate because they are both in the garage :( hahah but it sounds damn good!


For the 3rd video: Yea I have seen that video before. I have yet to find a video with a straight SZ 3" ( no cats and no resonators.) Greg said my Z is going to whistle hahah.

Also guys I am going to be recording with a go pro hero2 so we can get good quality sound and images :)!!!

I just quit working on her I didn't get anything really picture worthy just the "behind the scenes" things like cleaning putting clamps on the turbo oil return lines, clean the lower timing cover then paint ect...
