Hello everyone, let me start off by saying thank you for accepting me into this group. I'm Azzy, 30 years old and ive been building/restoring Japanese cars since the age of 10 years old. Was never really a silvia or skyline fan but for those that know me... know that i love complex and complicated cars! Always loved the look of a 300zx but only the SWB model (sorry lwb owners).
But yes I went to a friends lock-up filled with various skylines and silvias 'Drift missiles' but in the corner of my eye this got my attention.... Its a SWB slicktop! wow! i never really liked the T-Bar, so i bought it with a huge job ahead of me...
To those that recognize it.... YES IT IS SLICK PETES OLD 300zx!!!!!! So if anyone has any more information or pictures please sent them to me!
But due to other commitments and projects I haven't been making videos car because I have been busy!
From looking at the wiring, it appears the car was a Naturally Aspirated Automatic, however the car how has a fully rebuilt vg30dett with a manual gearbox, also with the TT rear Diff.
It has brembo front brakes, polybushed and adjustable arms arms all around, subframe and diff mounts are polybushed too :)
then heres when the real work began haha, whilst the engine was out I cut our all the rust and resprayed the engine bay.
