Been a Z32 guy since 98. Currently looking for a daily NA. But on my 2nd TT, which is currently still being built. Cut a lot of things out of it, did some stuff on the engine and cleaned up the exterior with a smoother look. Other than that......it's a work in progress.
Here is a link for the progression of my Z so far over the past 2 years -> http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/...&vm=r
Other than that...... Other

Wow, that looks amazing, I am proud to have you part of the Z section here at NICO, I hope you will stick around and share you experiences/knowledge, as I am sure you have a lot of them.
BTW, exactly what all have you done to your Z? It looks like you went through your engine and have done work in there, maybe upgraded internals? It also looks like you have upgraded turbos and upgraded intercoolers, along with a underdrive pulley. What else have you done?

Yeah, pretty much all myself with the help of a few local guys. Did the widebody with a local guys here in San Antonio, did it with sheet metal/lead work. Killed off antenna and rear wiper and body lines.
Engine was a whole nother sitiation.

The block- Wieseco piston attached to Crower Rods w/Z31 rod bearings and buttoned up with ARP hardware, oh and did a water passage cast de-flashing.freakonaleash1187 wrote:Wow, that looks amazing, I am proud to have you part of the Z section here at NICO, I hope you will stick around and share you experiences/knowledge, as I am sure you have a lot of them.

the heads - Heads got a port/polish, 3 angle valve job w/titanium retainers, contoured down spark plug tips to keep down hot points on the cylinder face and just threw in stock cams for now. Thicker Tomei gasket for better compression and buttoned to block with ARP hardware.
Turbos- 550 BB turbos w/HKS actuators, ported turbo necks, took out all the stock kinks in the turbo piping for better flow. Got seperated flange on the dowpipes with a frankenstien downpipe till I can afford a set of long divorced dowpipes from Greg Dupree (aka, Specialty Z). Ported out stock exhaust manifold that I wrapped in DEI heat wrap, until I can afford the GD manifolds.
Everything else - Port matched upper/lower manifold, Fischer dampner, Stillen ICs, pretty much cut off/shaved all the excess brackets that I didnt need (too much to list...take a closer look at engine.
Cust wieght - battery relocation, killed out all of AC system/heater system, Hicas system, stock seats and a bunch of other stuff.
In a nutshell.

Welcome to NICO. That is a great looking car, I'm sure it runs just as nice. I hope I have the time and resources to put that much detail into my car as well.
