So I shared the story of my R34 in the GTR section, I figured I should share My Z32 here!!

So she is a Authentic RHD fairlady. I got her through a guy that had gotten it from the same place my old R34 had come from. She came to this country in very small boxes.

This was close to the time when I first got it.

Putting on the 1st FMIC and Hard Boost Pipes.

Image

So then Time passed and I painted the wheels. LOL

Image

Image

Image

Then a little more time passed and I changed the wheels all together!! LOL

Image

Then more time passes and some other things changed. New Wheels & Tires. XXR521 in a 18x8 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear with a 255 & 295. and Upgraded to Megan Coilovers.

After I had finished that....like within a week my intercooler stopped holding pressure... so it was time to replace it. I decieded to go more towards the "last intercooler I'll ever need" route. And hit up my buddy who is a fabricator at a shop near me to make me one like he has on his Z.

Fitting up the new Intercooler

Image

Final Fittment

Image

Image

And the finsihed result

Image

And here with my buddys Z

Image

Then on the way home from getting the intercooler installed i swerved to avoid a head on collision and hi a mile deep pothole and bent a control arm.... EXCUSE FOR MORE PARTS!!!!!

Ordered upper and lower front control arms from ZcentreUK, Which by the way they are awsome!! If you get the chance check them out!! great guys got here 1 week faster than the stuff I ordered from Z1!! :shock:

Thanks man!! I kinda tripped over her, I wasn't looking for a Z32 when I found her, but I wasn't gonna pass up the chance. And the Intercooler was a one off hand made by an old friend.

Ugh man, it's all up for grabs. I'm either gonna go larger twins or big single.

Most likely going to an E85 & ProEFi setup. But as I mentioned before...I am SUUUUUUPER BROKE lol so

I've got all the supporting mods figured out. I'm just thinking about what i'm gonna do. LOL I know single turbos are

frowned on in the Z32 community, but then again so was my front mount LOL. So i'll keep you all posted once I get

money LOL

They have been doing me GREAT!! I love them, they are the most basic ones, and for the life of me I can't remember which ones. Sorry. But I love them to death. I street drive the Z and they handle the Chicago roads really well. had them on about 3 years now with zero issues. but I also don't drive the car that often. I know from some people they can seize up due to salt corrosion, but I think that's pretty universal. My Z is garaged so I haven't had that issue. But I highly recommend them!! Great set for the price. I think I paid $800.

The shop I frequent is a ProEFi Dealer and tuner, and they use them on ALL the Supras they build. They have had great luck with them, and I love how easy the system is to get along with. Once I get the cash I will for sure be doing that.
