Ok, this is extremely rough and very early in the tuning stages. The pickups are bad in the dizzy and the BOV isn't routed properly, so ignore the compressor surge and shitty throttle. Lots of work left still. I'll post another video once we smooth things out.

WELP, after fucking with my throttle switch chasing some power issues, we finally dissected the distributor and discovered the CAS is all but obliterated. There are some DIY solid-state options that one of my motor guys is gonna work on, but it's unlikely I'll have it running right for another...

Personally not a fan of the gnose, but it def is rare in the states. Mine will look exactly like I want when done. She started up on the first try last week. I hope to have things buttoned up by this weekend and I'll post some pix and a vid.

I got gold from Nid - seems goofy but I guess if it's a few of them popping a week then it should be OK. Also, this connect shit is getting pretty old.

It blocks the very bottom right corner of the intercooler, less than probably 1% of the total surface area? I do need the bracket, it's holding the front grille. It also couldn't be clocked up any degree that would make sense because then the hood wouldn't close. I also have to put a shroud over...

Because the MAF (on the intake) must be a minimum of 20 inches from the turbo inlet. Also, the inlet is 3 inches, the MAF is 4 inches. So I had 2 hurdles to overcome: 1. Place 20 inches of pipe between the MAF and the turbo (required for my setup, per Jim Wolf Technology, this is their turbo...

Miller equipment. Not sure what the unit is. Finished the plumbing today. Still need to build the shroud and bracket for the intake, and build a bracket to hold up the center part of the cold side IC pipes in the engine bay. They sag just a tad, but enough that a big bump would cause them to...

Nope. Not enough length. Have to have 10 inches of straight 4 inch pipe. Made things a bitch to fit.

There's no room for it anywhere else. We're building a shroud for it to prevent buffetting. Most guys put them in the engine bay on the hot side, it's even worse. Also I'll get plenty of airflow on the IC and radiator, plus i have huge fans on the other side of the radiator. Edit to clarify...

Got the downpipe wrapped today and finished the mock up for the ic and intake, plus all the plumbing. Exhaust gets made Tuesday.

About 2 years? Taught himself.

Damn dude that sucks. I have to run to a local shop today and pick up some 3 inch 90s and a 2.5 L elbow to finish ic piping.

Downpipe is almost done. Should have it complete tomorrow night. More pics soon. We should have the intercooler plumbed complete by Monday.

Here's a small update - my wheels! These are what are going on the car. Work Equip 01. Running 15x9 -28 front and 15x10 -28 rear. With my ZG flares, they will JUST fit inside the lip with no camber adjustments needed. We still have to cut the fenders a bit for clearance. Without the flares, they...

@latheboy Yea we still planned to clock it a bit more. My brother is the fabricator and went on vacation so it's sitting in his garage for now. Work resumes next week, so no updates till then. Part of the reason it's that way is because we have to drop below the tranny. We hoped to squeeze it...

So we made some progress on the Z. After hours of mapping things out, we think we have the right plumbing layout now for the intake and intercooler. I ended up needed to have a custom IC made to fit correctly, and it took a little magic to properly fit 10 inches of 4 inch piping for the maf and...

It was OK. Didn't care for the guy playing Tick. Costume sucked too =\ JCVJ was much better for me on the amazon pilot list.

Have you seen our great hope here? Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen - #1 Thread in MMO I hear it's gonna rock.

Haha yea. I have another n42 manifold that I'm cleaning and coating, will look much better then. The nasty mani that's on there now is just to get it dialed in.

Got the motor and radiator in. Lines are mocked up. Spent the afternoon figuring out the plumbing for the intercooler. I had to cut half of the radiator support out to fit everything. Will reinforce after everything is in. Before you complain about hoses and shitty fittings know that everything...

RIP

Thanks! I'm actually putting their control arms on after the motor is done. Those hubs are super clean. I've seen them installed fresh and they really make it look and function great.

Yea my goal was really to keep it as Nissan as possible. The only thing borrowed really is the Ford MAF and some custom aftermarket parts. It was really important for me to keep it an L-Series motor. Plus, a turbo straight 6 is pretty unique sounding. One of the things I really loved about my FD...

You know, so many guys do this. At the annual Z show at Angel Stadium this year, I probably saw 50 s30's with chevy motors.

Careful of shadowed men

Motor is out! Got the new motor mounted last night also. Hopefully it will be ready for plumbing this weekend. We close on our house in 3 weeks so I gotta bust ass or this will end up sitting for months. More updates after the weekend!

Setting up the universe for Kong vs Godzilla AND John Goodman? SOLD

He IS the law! Please bring this to Netflix as a series. Movie is on my regular watch list.

I agree about hangouts. I use it all day as my primary means of communicating with 99% of my contacts. I wish their video chat was better. It's the only gripe I have. Also, I highly recommend Pushbullet. Nice chrome plugin and app on your phone that lets you manage sms and notifications (among...

Why would I waste my money on a boring product?

We bought a 2012 ram 1500 with 20k miles for $22k in perfect condition in SoCal to transport our photo booth gear. They're out there for reasonable prices, just gotta put in some work hunting down the deals.

I've been on a droid since the first one. Currently on the turbo 2 (also rolled about 800 of these out to my business). I really like the idea of the Note 7, and will probably get a couple demo units to play with when they are available. Not sure if I will survive without the Moto Display, which...

Get an android phone and ponder your poor life decisions up to this point? Seriously though, why is it so impossible to get music off an iDevice?

Looking good. I hope to have updates on the Z in the next couple weeks. We just put an offer on a house, so I may be preoccupied for a few weeks(months?).

Binged the whole thing last week. Finally convinced the wife to watch and she hasn't put it down (bonus, I get a 2nd go-round). Picking up small things I missed the first time around is fun too.

Like Pantheon, these forums ROCK!

Yea, the biggest thing I learned from past failures and successes with building cars - pay cash. I saved up what I budgeted before I started this process so I could pay cash for everything.
