Well, what can i say, apart from stalling it once LOL (new that was coming), pulling over into sainsbury's car park to watch the oil burn off the gearbox and what ever else i managed to get caked in gearbox oil and set the timing as i didnt do the neutral switch bypass.

 

Once that was all sorted, and still stinking a bit from the gearbox oil being burnt off. i thought id give her a try in a nice large empty carpark, holy poop, haven't felt that kinda power since my cherry red zed, the gears are nice and clunky and the box sounds like its been stolen from a british touring car for some reason lol, ooh and i get a nice little burble when lifting of the gas. temps are also doing very good as well.

 

so after playing around in a carpark for 20mins and scaring my self half to death (she really does feel very light now, not like the lumbering beast the auto box made her feel like) and now that all the power that is supposed to, is actually going from the engine to the rear wheels, think ill just lay off the boost when the kids are in the car :lol:

 

Anyway, have to say, thats the first 20mins of fun ive had in my zed since i got it. now to sort out the body work issues, some new rubber for the rears, engine bay tidy up, and also noticed i need to change at least one of the rear subframe bushes (leaked all over my exhaust), im positively in love again with my 300zx.:wub:

Nice one mate, thinking of converting mine but that won't be for a while as she's emptied my wallet as it is lol

Ello m8, sorry to hijack, but I'm unable to private message. I could be buying your old '91 NA which is now black. I was looking for a thread on it from a while back so was just hoping u might be able to point me in the right direction.

Cheers buddy, shaun

why what u doing to it ?

 

My engine came out on 21/22may .

Stripped day/two after

bits was at the machine shop for about week/bit

Ordered bits on 1st june

bits arrived 7th ...

had engine back in that time and started the mods Porting/polishing

engine fully rebuilt on Tuesday 13th

 

u know the rest

 

so the work was done over two weeks ... but alot of waiting/wasted time

 

would say about a week & half worth of work if i had all parts at hand and engine work done sooner

 

Its a full rebuild, with a huge big list of OEM and aftermarket parts. Also its a NA-TT conversion.

To be fair there has been loads of wasted time, me on holiday, waiting on parts from the States, car at bodyshop etc etc but it seems to be taking forever :( The garage have masses of engine build experience, but this is their first 300zx. A bit of a jigsaw i suppose
