The car looks amazing. I have a quick question. So does the hood and hatch use factory hinges but pins instead of latches? I noticed the holes in the hatch.

I agree. Sounds awesome.

Glad he was okay. What is all over the bars above the drivers seat?

Thanks John. How have you and niki been. I saw your kids are getting big on fb. It would be awesome if you ran that setup in you car too. I need to get back up to co. I miss you guys. So This is what a 150.00 sticker looks like. I'm so pumped. It is cert'd to 8.50's now. I need a nhra license.

Looks awesome. Make a video. I want to hear that thing.

Found another cool bracket. http://www.automotivedesigneng.com/products/coil_pack.html

Most ebc I've dealt with can only do 2~2.5 times the wastegate spring pressure. Unless you have one that can run CO2.

This is a fun build you have.

I just went through all your links. very nice progress. I love the datsun in the rear! What is that off of?

I found the head mounting bracket I mentioned earlier. http://www.mastmotorsports.com/page.php?Category=Engineered%20Accessories&Section=Coil%20Relocation&id=120

Amazing Fabrication? I look forward to see it coming together and running.

I tried to send you a message jbk240z but It said you couldn't receive messages.

Thanks for all the well wishes and support. I'm still kinda freaked out. I know I'm going to have to redo the engine harness. It looks like the throttle cable is f-ed. I'm sure ill find more once I dig into it. Here is a shot of the problem. You can see the bracket in the background got tweaked up. In hind site not the best designed mount. I have an idea on how I will make much stronger mounts. That is all the o-ring came out to create the blaze. Here are some shots before the dyno. I put the car on the corner scales to see how much it weighed. 2608 with a full tank. 2827 with me in it. I want to get coilovers in the front so I can adjust the corner balance.

I’m very happy to be alive right now. The Z burst in to flames last night. The injector on cylinder 8 popped out enough that it sprayed fuel that ignited. The night started off with the dyno acting up. The first few pulls I did would not show any graph. Scottie figured out the speed sensor was being cranky and got it working. So I started doing some tuning. Now the car would hit about 5 psi on the street on wastegate. My past experience is that most cars will be 2~3 psi lower on the dyno. This is my first time playing with a car that has a glide in it on the dyno. I was surprised that the car would only build 0~1psi of boost. After a few runs I got it up too 380whp on like 0.5 psi @ 6500. I think the glide might be robbing some power but what ever. I notice that I need more base fuel pressure after reviewing the logs. I thought I was at 45 but with the car at ldle it was only 30. My pump should be good for 120 so I took the base pressure to 60. I figure at full boost it would be no more that 80psi of fuel pressure. Well get the map dialed in again and then turned up the boost. I went to do a pull and as the boost came on I heard a noise and saw a blanket of fire flowing over the the windshield like a river. Its kind of a blur but I jumped out of the car hit the kill switch and got to the extinguisher and put out the fire. The whole engine bay was a blaze. The room was filled with yellow powder. I went out of the room but saw more flames so I rushed back in to put them out. Now at this point Scottie had left earlier to get us some dinner so I was alone. The visibility was that of a dense fog and the second time coming out of the dyno room I felt myself blacking out so I made the call 911 to see if I had just poisoned myself. As the call progressed I came back too. I had just deplete all my oxygen. About that time Scottie rolled back up. He total helped me call down. Thanks bro you’re a good friend. The end result was like 420 @ 4000 on 3~4 psi. Now its time to rebuild the harness and see else needs to be replaced. I know I need stronger brackets holding the fuel rails. I’m going to go clean up the mess today.

15~20 or when I run out of fuel. which ever comes first. lol. Hoping to get on the dyno thursday. Waiting to here back. I know they are trying to get there shop car ready for some test runs in phoenix this weekend. Here is another video that just popped up.

ha ha someone beat me too it and posted my picture. I used caprice wires. Here is the other side mounted under my front facing header. the coils are mounted to an aluminum strap that is attached to the block. I saw a really nice kit that bolted the coils to the back of the heads on ls1 tech. I have to much stuff tucked back there already though.

Thank you sir.

I just found it on google. I drove by and saw 5 z32's but no s30 etc. No one was outside and I didn't feel like going into mimi's since I didn't know what anyone looked like. http://albuquerquez.com/wordpress/

Here's mine.

My buddy is letting me use his go pro camera. Here is a video on the way to work this morning. Couple of 1/3 throttle pulls.

I heard they are meeting @ mimi's cafe tonight. I'm going to check it out.

It was a mad dash to get the car ready for the sqc dyno day bbq this past weekend. I had a lot of customer cars along with a faulty trans cooler fitting to deal with. I took the friday before the show off and finished up the car and got the tune up drivable. I made it to the show with 30 miles on the motor. We dynoed 45 cars that day and I decide it would be smarter to put some more miles on her and change the oil before I put it on the rollers. I will get it on there the week after valentines day. Here are some shots of it all together when I drove it to work yesterday.

Here are some shots of my 15X12 w/ 325's out back.

I would like to get the original sticker for the quarter window also.

Car is looking good Westin. I was hoping to meet you saturday. I still want to check out you car some time.
