I had to send in cores for my T3 axles. I have a set of Z32 and Q45 axles left over from my R-230 swap, think i even have an R-230 from a Q45 laying around. Pm me if your interested.

I modified the stock tank and in retrospect I would have just used a universal tank or fuel cell.......room for duel exhaust and less expensive.
I used an F-Body fuel tank, you have to spin it 180 degrees to get the filler neck on the right side but not hard. Looks good too like it was made for this car. I run the factory F-body pump with an inline pump and 60lb injectors and dont have any fuel issues.

Light-how bad are the cockpit fumes? I like it. I wish we had better options for getting around the differential.
Not too bad if your driving, if you get stuck at a light it gets bad but i do not have all the interior in my car either so there are some large holes in my hatch that let a lot of it in.

I did 2.5" x-pipe and dumped after two redline race mufflers.... These are probably too loud for your taste but i think magnaflow makes a round muffler like this in different lengths so that you can pick how loud it will be.
sorry for the super huge pic, didnt think it was that big.

speartech harness for the engine/cpu, and painless for everything else on the car... expensive way to do it. If/when i do it again i would probably use a factory ls1 harness and mate it up with a painless.
-
How much are you looking to spend?.. I have a hatch i am trying to get rid of, complete with vents and glass with vertical heater strips. Maybe you can find someone that is looking for the rest of the hatch. PM me if your interested and i will send you pics.

No plans to ever make anything but 1 3/4" primaries....
Sorry.
Still in
-
They are only going to be offered in 1 3/4" primaries (not 1 7/8") with 3" collectors. Sorry dude, let me know if you are still interested.
Thanks!!
Yes, def. still interested in these headers. Was the decision made to go with a 3/4 because of clearance issues? Just wondering if there will be a later production of 1 7/8's set, as i would probably just wait for those.
-
I am in for sure...1 7/8 with 3" collectors is fine with me...let me know when and where to send the money.

Yep - you can try to mentor and coach the noobs from spending a ton of time, money and effort on something with very little chance of success, but it seems most like to learn their lessons the hard way so I say - PLEASE show us a well executed conversion! BUT if you don't have deep pockets - don't start the project! The real kicker is " a well executed conversion"... I 've seen way too many half assed attempts that are simply not safe for the road that take a pretty good car and turn it into a total POS
AND THIS, it always sounds like a good idea until you put pen to paper and find out your building a 30k car that wont ever be completed, and probably never run. Sometimes you just have to figure out the hard way. I lost $2-3k in the first year of my build before i realized that simple is usually better.

You'd be better off selling the whole 300zx with the motor running and instead putting the funds towards an early Z LSX conversion

No resonators and dumped under the car, but dual 2 1/2", dyno'd 422 RWHP and 393 ft/lbs

white wire power and ground is what i hooked up, and ofcourse the power and grounds for lights

Bought a griffin aluminum radiator for my LS6 swap, it has the inlet and outlet swapped (swapped from factory ls1/ls6 style). Used the factory LS-1 hoses but put the short one on top and long one on bottom, fits perfect, ill post pics later when i get a minute.
-
Thats the one, thanks man. Now i just have to find all the parts.....

I have been working on getting my interior back in the car. It has been so long since i have seen my car put together i forgot how the back deck area goes together. Mainly the stands that hold up the floor. I know i have seen a picture of it on here, or maybe zcar but i cannot find it now. Can someone please re-post the picture so i can get my interior finished up??

2.5" duals, x pipe, 2 mufflers (one per bank) and dumped under the car. Sounds great, good rumble at idle, and smooth sound at WOT. NO rear o2's, you can have them tuned out per HP tuners.
-
Using the factory pedals, just modified the throttle cable to hook up on the other side. used an f-body clutch master, and factory brake booster.

LS1, you will be happier...Im am def. biased but i have known people who have owned both ls1 and lt1's and swear they would never go back to lt1. Optisparks are a pain in the but to change in a trans am, i would imagine its a little tighter in a ZX. Power wise the ls1 has more potential i think, just a better designed motor. The lt1 is based off every old sbc youve ever seen. Friend of mine likes to say its closer to a tpi than an LSx. Either way your going to have fun in it....Personally if you have the money go LSx all the way. If you are looking for an iron block go LQ9, has a better rotating assembly, or so ive heard ,than the LQ4.

Ya, I definitely thought this was a diff thread when i posted that O_o
I was going to say, its just stock height with 14" wheels..

Mines at the bottom, made 422/393 on thursday. Was previously running 388/345 or something like that and found out i had a deadspot in my MAF. Replaced it and had it retuned and made A LOT more power. Amazing how much you can make when your fuel curves, and timing tables arent out of wack.

I was about to say a decent coilover isnt too expensive or hell ive got shocks and springs here in frisco but an arizona setup is alot to save for. Looks good and good luck saving your pennies, you should pm me what all the plans are for it. We have a FEW and very few local guys out this way and i dont know anyone in lewisville with one but im sure the rest of us would love to see it/ go to some local meets together.
Also where did you get it painted and are you happy with it? and how much if you dont mind me asking.
I may not wait, because frankly your right, it is VERY expensive. I will pm you shortly, i get all my body work done on all my cars at American body works in lewisville. A good friend of mine works there, well owns it, and they do great work. I wouldnt want to give you guys any false hopes on price because they didnt charge me for labor, only supplies so i couldnt really tell you what it would cost.

300zx Turbo Z32 Differential/Brake parts in Texas??
in Parts Wanted
Posted
Looking for Z32 TT Rear sub frame assembly. I bought one from a seller on ebay and it turned out to be a short nose R200. The pickings are pretty slim at the junk yards in North texas so trying my luck here. Specifically looking for R-230, Wheel hubs, Brakes, and ebrake assembly from a Z32 Turbo car to finish up the swap in my 280. If you have any of these parts and are in North texas or willing to ship please let me know. I JUST WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR AGAIN!!
I have 2 longnose R200's id be willing to trade or just sell outright, a couple sets of axles, and of course an entire Z32 N/A car rearsubframe. Thanks!
