Subwoofer for SWB
It will probably fit but not well. The LWB boot is longer (I think).

I still plan to be there! Can’t believe more owners aren’t attending but we will have a great time regardless. Looks like the weather should be good on the day. Are we still meeting at Applemore Tesco?

Subwoofer for SWB
Home made subwoofer box with Alpine Type R 12” subwoofer. Pumps out some serious bass, was worried about blowing out my rear glass back in the day! On a weight savings mission so amps and subwoofer need to go. Subwoofer alone goes for over £200, get a bargain for £100 or best offer. Must pick up from Winchester as too heavy to ship.

Looking at the past!

What did you do to your zed today?
Getting a bit warm out there so new Koyo rad and AH Fabrication header tank. Also diagnosed what was causing my fuel level to stop working, off to Banzai Breakers tomorrow to pick a fuel sending unit.

Project Black Sunshine - The 300bhp NA
She’s home! So nice diving her again, although I forgot how extremely low I had her, had to avoid any speed bumps. MOT in the morning and away we go! Dyno and tuning will be booked soon.

Project Black Sunshine - The 300bhp NA
Well she’s ready to come home… everything wired up and installed. Last check of fluids and should be leaving the lock up. It’s been a long journey but now it’s time to enjoy the Z again!

Fresh update. Engine is installed, Haltech mapped and configured. With some help from Nick it is running and sounds sweet! Just need to install new glass and should be on the road again.

Engine ready to drop back in! Welded up the heater core pipes, was going to cap them but one nipple was interfering with the fuel rail so they had to go. A lot more simple without the EGR, IAC, and plenum coolant lines!

Thanks Stephen, I hear you. I have Brembos on the rear also but it didn’t help.

Project Black Sunshine - The 300bhp NA
After installing R32 Brembos the ABS system was triggering too early. I pulled the fuse and drove without ABS on the road and track for many years without issue. In fact being able to brake at the limit allowed my NA to humble many more powerful cars. Removing at least 4 meters of plumbing can only be better!

New brake line layout. Front straight to a T and then using the ABS sensor holes to reach the braided line coupling. One line running to rear into a T near the right rear wheel and then following the standard clamps to the left rear.

Quick update, she is slowly coming back together. Installed the Quaife dif and half shafts from Kaiju (James Time Attack Z). Removed the ABS system and ran all new, greatly simplified brake lines. Sanded the tint off the rear taillights, polished them and installed. Both doors fully reassembled. Roll bar installed. Pulled the fuel pump hanger and ordered a new walbro 255 pump kit. Wiring loom prepped and ready for install. Next up is dash rebuild and then prepping the motor for install.

About time I provide another update! Complete strip down revealed more rust near the rear hatch hinges and seal. Back to the welder for repair... Engine bay cleared of all wiring and hoses, glass out, and fully hoovered. Went off to paint Monday and should be back in the lock up by Thursday. Then the fun begins with reassembly.
