Hey guys so took my zed to Jim a few weeks ago to have some reconditioned turbos fitted, upon lifting the engine Jim found a few causes for concern, shoddy rebuild work from the previous owner. So we have decided to go ahead and fully rebuild the engine. I'll be using this thread to post progress pictures and info... I intend to go and see Noel after I've settled the engine in and then fingers crossed the car will be going in for a full respray , all new mouldings,trim etc ... Watch this space !

 

Order on way from Noel , Aem Afr digital gauges, nistune ecu, aem 320 fuel pump

Where are you planning on mounting the two gauges?

Il leave it to jimmer haha a pillar or in the front bezel of the radio bezel, I've seen people mount them on top of dash pods but i don't really like the look of it

A little update on the car, jim currently has everything needed to finish up the z1 order contained a few goodiez new oil cooler ans front coolant hardpipes, plus the new greddy profec

Nice. When do you think it will be finished Josh?

Im unsure at this moment everytime I say "around 2 weeks" it turns out longer haha, jimmer was being held up with parts that prevented him carrying on but everything is there I believe so we shouldn't be waiting long for the anticipated dyno run!

Its Winter anyway so you dont need it till Spring :biggrin:

Aint that the truth!

picked this up today ...zed or the daily! ??

Cool reg matey.

Cheers fella :) bought the girlfriend one and then got jealous!

also picked this up for the build..cheers mondo!!

 

More updatesss

 

Hi guys sorry I haven't updated in a while I have used the Facebook pages more and more and noticed I hadn't posted in a while so here's a quick update for you guys not on Facebook, the journey has been a long one, many hiccups along the way due to the nature of the beautiful 300zx, anyways the aem gauges are mounted in the glove box , ebc mounted and fitted , loom and ecu is in and shes In and running. Noel has been out and given his stamp of approval. I was supposed to pick up this Saturday but will be leaving it until next weekend as ive decided to place another order at z1! The viscous fan wasn't locking in completely so temps were gaining during spirited driving so that is getting replaced with a new fan clutch and blade from z1 , 2 new oem 02 sensors , dual selin intake with 2 new mafs go suit.

Any updates on this build Josh??

I think he put another post up mate when he got it back... Made some big numbers

I just had a quick look but can't see it, so I'll tell you in case Josh, Jimmer or Noel don't see this. In short it made about 620 on the dyno and he now has the car back. From what I gather, he's over the moon with it.
