Update time.
Spring break is over, brother and sister in law came over and got alot accomplished. Truck is stripped.. motor,transmission is stabed in the z "oh yea". Here is some picture's of the fun..
Here is after dash removed
Everything tagged,labeled, and cataloged
Complete cab wiring harness removed
Complete engine harness removed
We removed the bed and the cab that was interesting...
Then we removed the motor and transmission together and finished stripping the wiring harness off the frame that controlles fuel pump, fuel emmission canister, and tail lights
the moment of truth will it fit??
It does just barely not much room left...
Here is where we had to leave it.. Now the real fun begins motor and transmission mounts, wiring the whole car. Im going to use all the wiring harnesses to run everything even the lights..

Update time, last 2 weeks have been nice weather so ive been busy. I found some old pictures of the teardown of the blue z. Here they are...well i guess ill keep trying it keeps telling me server error..hmm well i have been working on the white z also, found out thad it already has 12+8 front calipers installed on front. It also has i think it a 3\4 swaybar in the front. I got rims and tires switched so it now has matching tires all the way around. I made 2 good seats out of 4 bad seats, also I found out that the sound deadner on floors and transmission tunnel has been removed. I found out the frame is bent, it looks like it has been slid in to a curb because the passanger side frame is pushed in where i think is called the stability bar mounts to the frame. I also have been working on the truck removing parts, have front clip, bumper taken off and all the wires removed from the dash and dash it is gone "way more wires than i expected". I did have a nice conversation with a guy at archangel that asures me that what im doing is feasable and he can make the motor run with out all the extras kill switches "whew a load off my mind"..well thats all i can think of i hope what ever is wrong with hybridz servers gets fixed i really like this site...

Today was a nice warm day, after 7 days of snow, i was able to go out and get some pics of my last car. I also was able to see what new parts came with the white and orange car.
Factory ac? Wow...im impressed. .
Battery box looks good.
Here is some of the new parts that came with the cars
Complete engine gasket set
Stock Rotors and drums.. dont think ill be needing these since ill be upgrading brakes.
Dont know why but somone cut the rear taillights in half from drivers side to passenger side. Here is the rest of it.
As far as i can tell its all the weather striping for whole car, what a score..
Box of goodies..even some money.

Rust free rear fenders i hope will know after soda blast
Little surface rust by the fuel door
Head light buckets already painted i like the silver color
Dash has cracks in it, not sure if i can find another one, but i know i dont Want to just cover it. does anyone know what material it is made of. ive read on A post that they used an epoxy, but they didnt say what kind it was?
Floor pans look and feel solid
-
Well, its snowing outside. Had to cover the car up, and can give an update. 2 momths after i got my car home i was searching for a doner car for parts and i came across 2, one that has been partly restored
-
My z had the 280zx block with a 280z head, tripple webors carbs, full lengh header, acell ignition yes it wad fast but, i always got stomped by my friends gt mustang...i dont know alot about the motors to make it faster. i got a suprise for him im stuffing a 5.4 triton motor in mine. It will be reliable and fast off of a stock motor. But thats just my opinion..
-
Want more power go v8. Upgrade the suspension, and sound proof the car and you can get a z to be quiet,drive like a new car..,excet for the exaust note...
-
That is cool. I can not wait to get mine finished, i just found a donor truck with a triton 5.4. I also found 2 more doner z cars and tons of new parts for cheap. Things are finally headed towards building this car, or maybe one of the other ones, which ever has least amount of rust, i wanna drive it again...
-
Looking good. I cant wait to get mine going

I traded for this car when i was 18yrs old. It was running driving, i drove it for a few years, man it was fast, had 280zx block with 280z head with the tripple webor carb set up. well to make a log story short it broke down, and it got put in storage. "several times" life was not going my way and it got put on back burner till i could get on my feet again. 8yrs went by, then got a house with a garage "whew hoo" time to work on it again got it striped down going to do the body work and paint, then again life gets bad again. Move a few times, lost jobs, some college, kids, Well it gets put away back to storage "boo hoo". well 7 ys later here i am doing lots of reasearch to put a 302 sbf in. While im tryin to find a doner car "late model motor, fuel injected". Well i come across a 5.4 "whew hoo free doner truck" here is where i am today.
there is not many people around here thats even heard of a s30.
