Speedhut gauges! still lacking boost psi, egt, and wideband afr...

I was considering doing a vg30dett swap also before I decided on the RB. What I was going to do was use Mckinney SR20 swap engine crossmember, and VG30/240sx swap mounts from Xcessive. In theory, that would work just fine.

Now the real fun begins! I am currently in Korea and in the process of ordering everything I will need for the build. RB25, Mckinney mounts, ebay turbo mani, and Freddy intake mani have already been purchased but don't have any pics of them... Besides that, here is what I've collected so far... ACT clutch T04z t67 turbo bought from used turbos.net Precision 40mm WG Tial BOV Precision 780cc injectors Greddy fuel rail, fuel sump, walbro 255 more fuel parts...

a little fun at the Auto X before I ship to Korea...

Ground Control coilovers and rear disc conversion... '92 accord brake hose fits perfect... fabbing up the parking brake cable bracket...

time for some PAINT! Laguna Seca blue...

some nice pics I took while home in Mobile, AL...

This is my first s30, bought it January 2011 from a guy in Atlanta, GA for $3500. Since then, I've been working on it pretty steady, taking care of the bodywork and paint and getting the ol L28 to run properly with the aftermarket cam and stock ecu . cut springs... ZX hood vent and fender mirrors...

wow docaam... please post pics of these on your car! i love the new cr01's

I want...

My rear disk conversion... - '82 280zx rotors - '84 Maxima calipers - custom caliper brackets bought off ebay - I had to fabricate the parking brake cable brackets - '92 Accord rear brake lines are the perfect length and fit I have pics of the conversion I'll post pics when I get off work. ...You might get flamed for this first post, but I think its a good idea.

you sure those aren't SP1's? Thanks for the pic! Now I need to find a pic of one with the SP3r's for comparison. The last thing I want to do is spend that much money one wheels and regret doing so.

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new set of wheels, but cant decide between 17" CCW's or SSR Professor SP1 or SP3. I am actually leaning towards the SSR Professors but cant find any pics of them on a Z car. Does anyone have pics of those wheels on a Z?

I've been practicing my photo editing skills...

yep yep, it was a long week of hard work getting it painted. painted it laguna seca blue

can't remember if I've posted updated pics of my Z yet... oh well, I'm bored so here goes a couple recent ones. and a couple from the autocross... I cant wait to get some more aggressive wheels, however all my money is tied up in the RB25 swap at the moment.

I feel you on that one for sure! I had to leave my 280z behind to go to Korea, however this tour is funding my RB25 project. Like you said, besides the wife and kids, it is always on my mind!

very nice photography Gabe. Im thinking of swinging by the battleship park to shoot some pics of mine on Saturday, send me a pm if you want to meet up.

any new progress with this build? dyno? vids?

Im not feelin the front end, but its your car

Chasebays.com sells a 240sx brake booster delete kit that you could modify to work on the s30 chasis. not sure how you feel about manual brakes, but it is a solution.

Wow, nice progress!

time fore some bondo now Ivo lol, looks great!

I painted mine in a one car garage, but did it peice by peice, and then finally rolling the rest of the body in for painting. The color I chose was Laguna Seca Blue, but any light color will hide minor flaws or small trash.

very nice man! I was thinking about going with a built SR on mine, but now I have my mind set on an RB26dett with twin gt2871r's
