Nice! I want the clear front cover!

Post by **evildky** » Mon Jun 08, 2009 6:11 pm

yeah but when you put it down at the track and people come over to see whats under the hood, you open up to reveal an L6 and they ask "whats that" you tell them and they have a dumbfounded liik

you open the hood to reveal an RB and they say, "dang boy thats a mad tight jdm yo skyline motor, my homeboy is putting one in his jdm neon"

Becky will be driving it.

I don't think anyone will get past the fact that there's a girl piloting the awesomeness.

It's Jason's RB25.

He is my new best friend. He's even installing it for me.

Soon as you and G get most of the cars running I will plan a visit to AZ. Last time I was there he almost melted the 'vert and I simply had the chance to drive the G (pre-SC tho ).

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 6:25 am

The vert just pooped her turbo.

The 320 crapped her brakes, and the 311 followed suit.

The G scared us with a bad battery drain and a mysterious knock (turned out to be a plastic cover flapping), both have been fixed.

The 411 decided she didn't like electronic ignition and spilled lots of smoke from her coil wiring.

Thank God for Bex's Frontier - We have 10 cars and it's the only one we can always count on!

Lovin the S30 Greg! That 25 should make it move!

Post by **audtatious** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:10 pm

Send me the G or the Vert. I'll get them all fixed up and pimp them around here....

Post by **Fibre guy** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:11 pm

Just wanted to drop by and take a look at the Z you were talking about.Awesum-o awesomeness.

Also AZ, I need your opinion on the cover, thanks.

*More Updates*

Bella came home today! She'll be here for 6 weeks, so you will see plenty of updates.

-The motor and tranny are in.

Greg and I will be working on the interior, installing the gas tank, the brakes, we have to find an intercooler and an S13 throttle cable, and other little odds and ends. It's more than enough to keep us busy with our schedules.

Here's some pics I snapped today. Enjoy!

Think I'll book a trip to Surprise when you get her going... or just near the end so I can wrench on her a little bit and be there for the maiden voyage.

Post by **VMP** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 8:27 pm

omg. i am extremely jealous.

please adopt me yeah?

Post by **virus77** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 10:04 pm

Very nice looking Z, hard to find a clean looking shell like that to even work with. How are you going to be wiring it... let me know cuz I had some bad experiance running the RB efi system through the original Z harness, I switched over to a track car-ish system with relays/switches powering most things RB and the car feels much better... might have just been my car but im throwing it out there for consideration.

I am jelous of the garage. Damn!

Sick. I can only hope to one day have as many cars as you, that are half as badass and a wife who loves them as much as me

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 7:13 pm

Transmission mount, powdercoated and ready!

Installing the dash overlay - Will look great when it's done!

Engine mounts done.

Intercooler mock-up... Looks good, right?

OK, intercooler fitment for real...

Notching / boxing frame for radiator fitment.

For ANY project, having a whiteboard helps.

Filling some holes in the firewall, now that we know we won't need them.

Getting the RB back in its carrying case.

Great clearance, front AND rear.

Differential swap... Ugh. This part of the project has taken a lot of the fun out of it. More later...

Got to love the long nose R200s

Post by **gmac708** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 2:22 pm

I like the notch/box the frame for the rad. The crossmember even has an opening for the drain...nice work. Looking real good Greg
