I got my rear glass in... what a *****. That's a 3 person job!!! Also got the seats fully installed. Wednesday next week will have the front glass in. !!!!

Well i'm glad i came across this. I have a big box of seals i got with some parts i bought. In the box there was what i thought to be 3 windshield seals. I just went out and checked and What it actually was is 2 windshield and one rear hatch seal!!! i was just getting ready to order one when i came across this thread!!! thanks.

So the pic above is a rear hatch glass gasket or windshield ? looks like a windshield gasket. i have several of them.

I actually drove it on the road yesterday. got up to around 45 mph and nothing fell off. getting a windshield put in next week. ordered some stuff to heat treat the hood and master cylinder. here is a pic of the heat shield i built. plan on using heat reflective tape on that and wrapping the down pipe. under the hood will get some attention to. As far as how will it drive on the road. As long as you don't get crazy with the converter it will be very street able. i plan on driving mine to the track here in Utah which is about 40 miles one way. If the tune is right and you stay out of the boost a rb26 will get 20+ MPG even with 1000cc injectors.

Built a heat shield for the brake master cylinder. it will get some heat reflective material applied, down pipe will get wrapped and the bottom of the hood will need some protection as well.

Not in the plans but if it does i guess its a good thing its hinged in the front ;> Going to spend the next 3 days or so finishing up the wiring and getting it ready for the dyno. man i hope to get it there soon. Kinda waiting on the word from the shop that screwed me on the interior on whether or not i'm going to get any cash back out of the deal.

Not installed yet ;>

Im curious as to who it was on okinawa that had a 1300HP r32.... I lived there for alot of years and still know a few people over there. You ever work with Matt (chefTRD) here. maybe you know Rick??? your numbers do seem a little agressive if your not sure what rear suspention to put in it. that much power in a Z will require a full up chassis car with a 4 link.

Good news... interior finished. Bad news all the other stuff i paid for isn't and the shop closed down due to the owner going to jail..... i find all the winners !!!!

The interior didn't turn out half bad with the exception of glue all over ******* everything.

Man its amazing what a little google will do. I searched the douchbags name that owned the shop and found this. He is in jail because he broke the terms of his probation. Probably will do the last 3 years of his sentence. guess he started ripping people off again and the first call that came in to the cops they went down and grabbed him. Then i guess he popped positive for drugs. I swear not a single penny leave my pocket again until a in depth search of the business is conducted. Anyone want a heavily modified Z. Its not cheap but i'm thinking id let it go. getting really tired of it lately.

Man i don't know if anyone has worst luck then me finding Aholes that rip you off. Just went by the upholstery shop thinking i was going to see my car almost ready for pickup BUT NOOOOOO. Only door panels are done.Tthe shop is a wreck and 2 people there pulling unfinished cars out. So i walk over to my car and there is a guy sitting there scratching his head and i say hey whats up. He says "Are you the owner of this car?" I say yes hows it coming. He says OH COOLLLL im glad you came by. I needed to ask you exactly what you wanted to do with your car. Well i told the owner exactly what i wanted and i was told Wednesday that this Friday my car would be ready to pick up. He says "oh well.... i shouldn't be telling you this but he is in jail for breaking probation and is more then likely gone for 3 years!! shop is shutting down and i was told to do a headliner, doors and carpet to get this car out of here". I was like OH that's cool,(not really) but that's only a portion of what i agreed on and paid for. Anyways long story short i have a very expensive headliner, carpet and door panels. If they even finish that...So i could sleep tonight i took the car and will bring it back tomorrow so he can finish the carpet and headliner. I am going to babysit there the whole day helping where i can to get everything done. The owners wife is trying really hard to make me happy but in the end im gonna get screwed out of 8-1000 bucks of work i paid for.

WIth coilovers and AZC rear control arms i had 15X10 with 5.5 inch BS on my Z back in the day. ran it with BFG 275X50X15 DR and overfenders. looked pretty good if you ask me. I'll be damned if i cant find pics of it right now ;<

Dont do it your getting ripped off!!!!! Btw where did you say this car was at ;>

FYI, Pretty much any pre 90 (maybe newer also) have the exact same check valve. I got 2 today out of a pick and pull. one out of a toyota POS and one out of a 90 240sx and they both were exactly the same as the one in my 77 280z!!! got both for a buck. They want 30 bucks for them new on ebay.

Are these current pics? you have a build thread anywhere?

Mine was the same but was the 4 inch core. I used the vibrate 3 inch 90s and had to enlarge the holes going thru the core support actually fits pretty good. Yes its a ebay inter cooler. have made 612 officially but estimate it to be near 700 now at the wheels. May make more with a hi end inter cooler but cant afford it at the moment. Pics of the inter cooler installed on this page. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/93617-post-your-intercooler-setup/

Hmm i guess you cant move pics around in photobucket. here are new links to the latest pics since none of the links work anymore. video of it running.

BIg ass boulders would do the trick also. Might be a little cheaper to/

Holy cow is this a bad mama jama to see in person. It Was white and had temp plates looked like it was just picked up. not this one but looked exactly like this. Initially i though it was a LFA... never saw An LFA in person so i had no idea but you can see in this pic how close they look.

Just bent up and drilled some holes in some metal i had laying around. here are the pics.

Got my rear bumper installed.

Got my rear FRP bumper installed, next will be the overfenders. Need to wait till i get wheels though. Overfenders look like ass unless the wheels fill them up.

Yea no kidding. the thing drives nice!!! cruises at 80MPH on the highway and gets 25MPH!!! The most this car will get fir a while is overfenders and wheels. On a side note i dropped the "OTHER" one off to get a interior and glass. Hope to have it back in a week or 2. Then off to the dyno to see how the tunes looks at 4700 feet ;>

Dropped my Z off at the upholstery shop to get an interior put in it. hope to have pics soon.
