Introduction - The Black Sheep

[BlackRC3]

Alright well first off my names Kael from Winnipeg, Manitoba, i purchased a 1990 Nissan Fairlady in June 05 from a good friend of mine who imports JDM vehicles. It came with 109,xxx km's in amazing condition.

Some shots after her first full detail (took 9 hours)

It came with a few mods such as H&R lowering springs, 17" BBS 3 piece wheels, Nismo shift nob, Nismo steering wheel, AB Flug full cat-back, Pop charger, Stillen Front bumper and sideskirts(at least that's what i've matched them to be, correct me if i'm wrong), HKS dual stage boost controller and turbo timer.

So i had some fun with it for a few months, took it to the track and ran a 13.77@101MPH with a 2.1 60ft (pretty respectable for a rather stock car) and this was on stock boost as far as i knew since the boost controller was never hooked up correctly and later removed all together since the ecu was stock.

Then i started my new job and the mods started flowing. Alpine type r components, alpine 4channel digital amp, Sony 7" widescreen on the dash with a pioneer dvd/mp3/cd player in the lower din. Then it needed some security so i decided to go with a Loaded Avanguard system, threw in some relays to control the windows, turn the stereo on, and a few other things all by remote.

OK, it was a blast until.... i lost to 3 turbo civics, and pretty badly i might add.Now for some power! Took the car to a friend's place who's dad is a master welder and has done some amazing work on cars in the past. Went there to get a FMIC put on...and well... things got a little crazy....

Here's a few pics....



Doesn't quite look like what you would expect to see under the hood of a 300zx does it.

So at this point i was flat broke and needed to re-group for 6 months to decide where i wanted to go next, did a little work on the car at home cleaning parts up



well after leaving home in April 06 it was off to Walls Rod and Custom, home of the 1900WHP Twin Turbo 76 Camero running 7.16 in the 1/4 (street trim).

Decided to go with FJO as a stand-alone to control the one-of-a-kind setup.

some pics from the shop. (taken by my phone, forgot the camera :P)



The work is almost done, i've probably spent 100hours at the shop helping out the guys, since no one has really done a 300zx quite like this before.

but it's getting late here in freezing winnipeg so i'll leave you guys with the mod list. Feel free to comment, and i'll do a little writeup as to how everything will hopefully work.

WOW!? just looking at the pic's made my knuckles bleed, and that black paint looks like it's about to just run off, absolutely gorgeous

[Black_93_300ZX]

Always wanted to see a nice single turbo conversion for the Z, well done, be sure to post dyno sheets once it's over with.

[BlackRC3]

well basically i've built everything but the engine itself for 700whp. so next summer i doubt i'll try and push more than 450whp just to keep things safe but i'll definately keep you guys updated

If you don't like it. Play elsewhere.

[phanatikz32]

on a more positive note your paintjob is fresh, im thinking about painting mine black, hope it turns out like yours.

[nsrZ32]

Welcome to NICO!

That's an amazing looking Z32 you've got there. Quite a bit of custom work, time, and fabrication into that bad boy. Hats off to you. I'm definitely interested in seeing more pictures and info as it comes along.

Good to have you as a member

[Zinister]

Welcome! Your Z looks stunning! I cant wait to hear more on the single turbo conversion on your car! Keep us updated!

[whiterps13]

Damn, those pie-cut welds are amazing. Definately got some work into that thing.

I cant wait to see some dyno numbers on race gas. That thing is going to be a BEAST.

[XcreatureX]

Thats hot!

Seth

[NSR_s30]

Welcome to Nico, awesome Z32!

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

That Z32 is nice...

Welcome to NICO

[Logan76]

Gorgous Z32.

[NSR240sxe]

Welcome to NICO

Hot Z!! I love those wheels and the paint is amazing. Keep up the good work

[WidebodyZ]

Somehow this looks familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it. My kind of work though.

[NSR_s30]

I have a question with everything done to the car, why run AC Delco plugs in it and not something like NGK R's or Denso...etc? Just wondering.

[BlackRC3]

those were the plugs that i had put in before i started this huge project, i've yet to even think about plugs yet but what would you guys suggest?

[evildky]

I believe Denso or NGK platimuns are standard replaements, I am running Iridiums, I just got a wild hair, prolly just a waste of money

[NSR_s30]

NGK's.

[nsrZ32]

NGK's.

NGK's are the only way to go for the Z32. Run the colder NGK platinums.

[PyroTheGreen]

I like this setup a lot. I've kinda been itching to do something similar, with a centrifugal supercharger for boost. How hard was the fab work for the intake piping? How did you split the intake for two throttle bodies? I can't tell where you did it from the pictures.

[OriginalWheelman]

Your welds make me jealous.

[JDMZ32]

wow that's definitely awesome. i'm looking forward to updates on this one! and i'm 99% sure that's not a stillen front, unless it's really old and i've never seen it or something . since your FMIC is so huge, i think you should get the greddy front. so, you went to get a fmic installed and you ended up with a custom single turbo setup?! whoa haha.

[Sgt]

Man that is awesome. Nice work!

I live in Saskatoon. If you are ever over here, let me know, I would love to see your Z in person. I doubt those pictures do it justice.

Also what is the make of that front fascia?

[tg]

Your fabricator definitely knows his stuff

Great job and nice car!

[300freekzx]

sweet

[Re037]

very nice!

those anybody know the model of those bbs wheels?

has anybody noticed this thread is also 3 years old?

[JDMZ32]

has anybody noticed this thread is also 3 years old?

dammit! i saw 11-13, but didn't take note of the year, so i thought it was only a coupe months! now i feel stupid and disappointed because i'll probably never see and update on this awesome car.

P.S. i also noticed that he joined NICO in '06, and i wondered why it took so long for him to post this stuff. me...

[naladude911]

ZOMG!!! my grandparents live in Winnipeg, God, I wish the U.S would step up and let us import JDM vehicles easier. Nice Z

[BlackRC3]

-It dyno'd 420whp and 391wtq on a mustang dyno (stock block/stock heads) @15psi

*I think your right, i doubt it's a stillen front bumper, i'm not too sure if i'm gonna keep it or put a different one on this summer before she hits the paint booth (was keyed outside my house in september 08')

*Rims are 17" 3-piece BBS RS's in 8.5 and 9.5 (looking to sell actually)

*when i get a chance i'll take a picture of where the split is for the dual throttleboddies (it's right after the ic outlet leaving the intercooler behind the rad
