Car: 1990 Z32 LS1/T56 swap

Post

Been lurking for a bit. Been a member over at 300zxforum for a while and decided to join. My 1990 300zx LS1/T56 swap is about complete. Im 31y/o and always wanted something different. Found a decent shape Z32 about 8 hours away. Flew 1 way to pick it up, and drove it straight home. Pulled the motor and transmission and sold them. The build began but took forever. Decided to paint the car in the meantime and have all the body work done. I wanted a T56 with absolutely no cutting the firewall like Blacktrax had to do. LS1 Excitement in Durham NC made it happen. We did have to cut the cross member and lower it 1 inch but other than that, good to go! Ill get on with the pics and let everyone ask any questions they may have! Enjoy!
Bone stock when I bought it:

Welcome to Nico!!! My name is Mark.. You should come on over to the Z32 section!

Paint came out great.

My questions are as follows:
  • 1. Why did you get a TT front bumper?
    2. Can anything be done about that wheel gap?
    3. You going to keep it NA??
Overall good job I like what I see!!!

I got the TT bumper bc I love the look of the Stillen Lip.
In most of those pics, there is no motor and no transmission in the car so its just light.
No, its going to single T76 turbo after all the bugs are worked out.

That is some SEXY paint. And the car will be balls to the wall. Can't wait to see more.
Which (if any) accessories are you keeping?
