Very nicely done, love it! I'm on my second early 260Z so I've got a soft spot for the S30 family middle child. I do have a syncrometer, I've been tuning sidedraft Webers on-and-off for close to 15 years now. It's been some time since I've played with SUs but they're pretty simple devices comparatively. BTW, have you checked your valve lash? This is super critical to do on a fresh head. The lash can change considerably and quickly over the first few hundred miles as the valves break into their seats. I did my motor break-in while driving the car to JCCS back in 2013 and by the time I reached SLO, a cam lobe was already wiped. My best guess is that it was a result of the aggressive wipe pattern of my cam combined with a rapid reduction in lash during break-in. I'd love to pop by Pre-Stage again some time as well, I've only been once and that was on a rainy day last December. Maybe I'll even have my side mirror repainted and fresh door cards mounted by then...

Cool! I just sold my S2000 this year after 14 years of ownership and remember noting when I got it that it was dimensionally very similar to the Z. Length and height were nearly identical but the S2k was something like 4-6 inches wider!

Works great for me today! No issues and everything was quick to load.

Wow. This thread is the absolute epitome of "if you want it done right, do it yourself." BRAVO!

Hey Robert, sounds like a rad build! You should post some pics of what you're working with. I'm in Burlingame but also have three little kids so Novato is no-go. Unless you're able to bring the car down here in which case I'm happy to help! Otherwise, maybe reach out to the folks at ZONC (Z-Owners of Norcal) via their Facebook page to see if you get any action?

Nice Nate, keep it up! I know how family stuff goes, we have three now so totally feel you on that. I've finally primed my side mirror today to repaint it in the original grey. Getting to painting a side mirror has taken me upwards of many months so you're doing way better than me!

This continues to be my favorite build thread here. The meticulous attention to detail combined with fanatical, no-nonsense execution is what makes HybridZ so great and unique!

I just got a bunch of timeout errors today. Interestingly, the site also no longer remembers where I left off on threads I've read before.

Gorgeous work! Amazing to see the transformation this car has gone through in the last 17 years that this thread has been alive. We desperately need some in-car and trackside videos!

Fantastic! Excited to see how this project unfolds.

Love it Ben, great to see the car back on the road and being used as it should be!

Rad, hats off to you! I've not seen a drum-in-hat park brake done on an S30 before, very clean. Did you 3d scan the z32 backplate and constituent parts?

Sorry Nate. Family always comes first, do what you need to do and the garage will be calling when you're ready.

Wow, gorgeous work. Do you have more pics of that rear caliper adapter?
