How hard was it to wire?

i had an entire 300zx... so i used the whole stock harness from it not the best way but it ran great

man those calipers are crazy big. looks funny but I bet it stops good. does it do wheelies yet?

Post by **vinny4205** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 7:20 am

haha.. no wheelies yet.. lately my stock fuel pump has been making some strange noizes. i think its about to melt down. im going to replace it later today with a stand alone pump. without the filter built into it.. ill take pics of the mud that comes out of the old pump

the 300zx calipers bolt directly in place of the stock 720 calipers. no modification needed besides bigger rotors

i have since blown up the twin turbo 720... sold the blown engine block for enough to pick up a 86 300zx lol.
oh yea the 720... has hydrolics up front lol can make the front go up enough to clear speed bumps

i took the wiring harness, engine 3.0 n/a , 5 speed, dash board out and am putting it into the 720

got to work on my truck today some. got most of the front end back together. just waiting for new bumper corners to finish it up. pulled the bed off to clean it up and give it a coat of rust-oleum professional

Post by **vinny4205** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 3:10 pm

Post by **vinny4205** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 5:35 pm

hey whats up everybody i put the bed back on... and lost the stock bumper for a roll pan

Post by **captainzeros** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:05 am

Neat, you won't need any kind of cargo management system, it'll all neatly pack itself against the cab

(just don't put anything in the bed tall enough to reach your window and slam the brakes)

Post by **breadbox** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 12:45 pm

I want a rust free bed.

Post by **vinny4205** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:52 pm
