[ca18detgabby]

lots of nice things, think the clutch fan you would have ditched though......

why are random things painted purple? kind odd, but if makes you happy...

never though to paint the CAS.....

[ca240sxcoupe]

thanks gabby yeah i will be losing the fan soon...as soon as i upgrade...z32 maf, nismo fpr, fmic, electric fans, recirc. bov, and an oil cooler among other things in the near future...o yeah and an E-01 to smooth out the boost curve...and a full tune at Batlgrounds here in Atlanta....

And the purple was just a funny idea that my girlfriend had...and i dont mind it...you cant see it in the pics but the clutch on the fan is purple and all of the bolt holding the front covers on are also purple..

[ca18detgabby]

pink or purple is def going down on my engine

I like the dip stick

Who, me?

[jt15833]

put the plastic skidplate back underneath will be a very nice cooling mod for you..

specially in hotlanta

[ca240sxcoupe]

my car didnt have it when i bought this one....i bought it as an automatic roller and converted over....so there really wasnt much there when i bought it......

FLOAT???? you still havent looked at this yet?????? i told you i would show you some pics of the z......... ......just kidding...

[z210]

did you do any work to the head? replace anything?

nice engine build

[ca240sxcoupe]

no the head is stock, because this car will be my daily driver i decided not to go too crazy with it....i was looking for mostly reliability, the 280z is going to be my crazy car.....but that is a completely different story

[float_6969]

Man the paint on that Z is nice!

[ca240sxcoupe]

i was wondering how long it was going to take you to look at it...jeeeeez lol

[QUOTE=ca240sxcoupe][/QUOTE]

dude dude dude dude....ummm where did you get soooo much amp wires? and how much

i wanna increase my ground and possible replace my homedepot 2g cable battery reloc. i just hate how its soo immovable

oh yeah did you purposely tilt your boost so that 0 is horizontal or is it just slanted by accident

[ca240sxcoupe]

its actually a grounding kit...haha...from ebay......the guy that i got it from seller name is motorblvd $7.90 + $14.99 shipping....after install the car idles better and smoother and there are no hesitation throughout boost....well worth the money in my opinion......cheap but very effective....+++++++

true... i found a whole roll of 4g wire and cut and termd them and bolted them all over and after the whole mess of ground wires...i realized in my hurry that i connected some from chassis to chassis...lol redundant?

but yeah i didnt realize it was an ebay kit cuz the wires were long...normally i see ebay kits shorter...im in need...err in want of some same type wires in 0-2g form at about 20+ feet roll
