There are quite a few Zeds going through restorations at the moment

 

What about a photo shoot of them all when they're all done ?

 

Anyone up for it ?

If anything I think this year everyone's upping there game !

 

Seems to be a good year for zed rebuilds, could it be because the 25th anniversary ?, or a year where folk actually have cash to spend.

 

Or is the fact that a few of us have created new build threads that its influencing the rest and giving inspiration.

 

Good things come to those who zed.

 

lol

 

FFS lads please tone it down a bit. Im in a 350Z atm but lm beginning to yearn a 300TT again. Jimmers in France atm on holiday, perhaps l should give his car an outing, its sat in his workshop and hasnt seen the road since last year.

 

First thing that jumps out in the after pictures is the 99 spec rear lights, never fully appreciated them until now

 

ozx 320, nice machine you've built there. What's the rear spoiler from?

They're the best thing you can do to the back end of any Z32 IMO.

rear spoiler is actually a Navan from a Y32 Cima. Wanted to retain something of a factory look, but wasn't sold on the z32 one, specifically how high it sat, and the angle it came down on. The Y32 variant is more flat, overall thicker, incorporates an LED brake light and more complimenting in shape in my opinion.

 

Nothing puckers your rear end more than drilling into a fresh $10000 paint job, for a spoiler you're not sure will even fit

Goes well with the rest of your theme there Kiff

This is the other one. 1995 J-spec 2+2 TT. 75000 original k's on the clock. Previous owner imported and briefly used as a race car, before running too much NOS and losing cylinder #6. In the process of pulling all of the illegals off and reverting back to stock-ish. Replacement motor being assembled- forged bottom end, mild cams, head work, o/s valves, 650 injectors, 2560R Turbos

 

... and yes, modified TBO front bar and FMIC combo have been removed in place for a stock TT bar and larger SMICs

 

whats these tubs like ? your not the first to like these ,they any good?

tubs? sorry, but don't understand what that is :huh:

turbos

aah, I thought it was us Aussies' job to wreck the Queen's English with abbreviations.

 

Honestly, haven't run a car with them yet. Not chasing huge numbers with the motor, and a set of GT600R/2560Rs came up cheap at the right time.

Holly hell no lol, we the English do not speak the queens English. Well most don't. Regional accents can be extremely different and have completely different words for the same meaning. It's not a very big place but it is a collection of small countries some of which have thier own languages.

Are you British by heritage?

 

Those tubs seems like the ideal way forward, I've found them over here for as little as £550 a side, how did you get on with the actuator brackets and did you use the oem oil drain?

Am actually Dutch heritage, first generation Australian.

 

Actuators are HKS 12psi units. Entire kit is a Coz/ConceptZ kit, with new braided oil feed and silicone drain lines. Bought them for a song as the previous owner didn't install properly, and the passenger wastegate actuator was misaligned, resulting in failed operation ... thus grenading the motor
