[toadx8u]

i have always had a love for the Z even when i was a kid...just something about the lines...the series Wangan Midnight made me fall in love with it all over and again and your car just cements my love for the car...i doubt ill ever get to own one just for the reason i love the cars i own...but threads like yours make my heart yearn for one of my own...

keep up the good work man and make us all drool some more...

PS...keep the satin black...the stealth look only turns true car guys heads...

[Chaos the Xile]

god, everytime i look at this thread i keep telling myself i need to get my a** in gear and work on my 260Z

[virus77]

Thanks for the comments guys Been busy but yeah.... NEW TURBO IS INSTALLED!!!!

I ended up ditching the smallish t3/t4 I got a good deal on and went with the same turbo by buddy is running in his s14. It's a turbonetics 60-1 on a .63 stage 3 turbine. With the little driving I've done I noticed 12 psi or so around 3k rpm, sounds like a diesel turbo winding down from boost

I'm working on my rear end setup again. CV conversion, bigger stubs axles with new bearings and a Ron tyler diff mount. The rear end should feel a LOT better after this step is done. The old goat is really starting to come together. After the CV conversion I need the get the Alky installed and get some dyno time.

Few pics on my iphone:



This is my buddies turbo but mine is the exact same thing but newer lol, I just didn't snap a picture of mine. His s14 is my Z's sister car, identical engine mods from a to z.

the 250sx and 250z together lol (Range Rover backed up into the s14 so excuse the janky front end allignment and carbon hood being held together by RED TAPE!!!)

[CBCUSTOMS]

Wish i could find a datsun in that good of shape around here

[virus77]

Been working on a few different things, snapped a few pics. One is my 300zx gauges conversion and the other is the valve cover graphics. This guy designs skateboards and hes wanting to move into valve covers so were using my car as a demo sorta. Should be in modified mag within the next few months but I'll keep it updated. Anyhoot on to some pics!

It depicts me in the background (big eyes)looking into a test tube and making some kind of an RB concoction LOL, I love my logo connecting the two valve covers

Engine bays been getting pretty dirty with all the daily driving lol... gonna clean her up before the photo shoot and I got a new battery since this pic... thing was toast.

Basic setup of the gauges out of the housing, its all been trimmed now but I snapped this pic during the construction phase

Note that 300zx's dont have odometers on the speedos, its off in the corner of the cluster.... this took some tinkering to get right lol

Back shot of the rpm gauge.... To the right of the picture is my old RPM gauge which is actually mounted to the datsun face and calibrated to read properly with the rb motor and datsun face... Its for sale if anyone wants a RPM gauge which works on the RB motor and looks like OEM [end plug] lol

[l0nestar]

*panting* woof.

[virus77]

Redid the catch can lines, got new heatshields and cleaned up the engine bay for the Modified mag photoshoot hopefully going to be this week



Finally got all the gauges installed too

Sick! I can't wait to see it in the mag.

Great looking build man. good luck...don't wanna give you gremmies by jinxin' it.

[virus77]

You pretty much nailed it, I just want to enjoy the car for a while. That being said I have a few things I need to install haha. I just need to finish up the rear CV conversion and install the methanol injection, shouldn't be down for more than a day.
