[StealthZ]

Now thats what I'm talking about, very nice indeed. I see you keed about it being stealth, as that looks menacing . More description and info on the body work and wheels size and make please.

[For you L series guys, Check this transmission out]

I am wondering if it is absolutely necessary to go the route of swapping out the smaller bearing for the larger 71c bearing. I have been told by others that it wasn't. I have looked at that great write up by Nigel, with intentions of installing an s14 5speed from a 98' black top front clip, with a early 280z bellhousing. Hopefully not jacking the thread, just looking for opinions on this step.

[Funny Request: Looking For A Loud Horn..Recommendations]

Hella supertone model claims a 118db in a twin horn package. I don't have them, but they seem to be what you are after.

[External Wastegate Dump Tube]

I have yet to run this setup as my car is in pieces, but talking with Austin(240hoke) who made this downpipe, I recall he was very pleased with the results. This is his old setup including the turbo and downpipe. I had my stock manifold modified to match the tial 38mm wastegate to the small pipe. He has a video on here somewhere of the car making some pulls both from inside and out. I know that does not definitely answer your question, just showing what some others have done.

[Evos 9sec 2jz build - 9's, 8's, and 7's done going for 6 sec pass now!]

That does look good Ivan. I like how you are painting the engine bay as well as the whole car the same color. Don't get me wrong, blacked out engine bays look good also and hide dirt,scrapes easy, but body matching color shows off in a more fluid and complete way to my eyes.

I have a stock 280zx turbo, and a z31 also in San Diego...

[Cylinder head modifications]

Redzee,

I had trouble after sending both a pm and two emails to his personal address. I want(ed) to have him work his magic on my p90 almost two monthes ago but have spent that little pocket of cash since. Still don't know why I never heard back from him.

[Fiberglass door panels w/speaker holes]

Can't say enough good things about Pete's panels with speaker holes, very quality and strong. Also still waiting for that info on the mounting push pins...

[Anyone heard from Zedd Findings?]

I made an order for floor pans and spoke directly with him via phone about one year ago. Pans were shipped in a timely fashion. I never had any problems with the whole transaction. These have been a very good and sturdy product.

[Best Adhesive or Tape To Stick Body Molding To The Car's Body?]

Yasin,

Your car and a few other members zx's on here have completely changed my mind on the zx platform. I have a friend back home in NC with a slick top whom I've told to give me first crack at it if he ever parts with it. Yeah, real smart thinking here, start a new project without even finishing the first, can we say Dat addiction. Anyways, when you get it all sorted, please make a video of it ripping down the street. Yes, for now I live vicariously through others builds.

[Mitsubishi Evo IX seats]

ZT-R,

I have the evo 9 recaro's going into my car build. I took a different approach however. I was having new floors and frame rails installed and went with a new, shorter seat base and custom seat adaptor to use the stock mitsu sliders. I am only 5-8", but putting these on the stock seat floor rails had me very close to the roof, as most seats swapped onto the stock rails do.

[Best Adhesive or Tape To Stick Body Molding To The Car's Body?]

I have had a local shop to me (Wholesale dealers painting products inc) suggest a 3m product, acrylic plus tape for external moldings. I was inquiring about attatching the rear fiberglass subtle z quarters and was guided to a gun applied 3m adhesive for my application. I have not used either of these products so I can not say without a shadow of a doubt that they work as advertised, but have had nothing but good results using 3m products. I intend on purchasing the gun and adhesive when the time comes to apply the rear quarters.

On a side note, would love to see more pics and video of your car. It has to one of the cleanest modified zx's I have seen. I can't count how many times I have watched your youtube vids.

[NEW.... Composite ideas!]

Still hoping that you would seriously consider making the top steering column clamshell with a centered, rounded 2-1/16" gauge provision for a boost or air/fuel gauge, with turn signal indicators for those of us that have changed to aftermarket speedo/tach's.

[Fairlady Z]

Very well done, and clean. I like it alot...

[Six_Shooter's cause of stress and relief]

In need of some video so I can remember why I am building a l28et project as it has been that long since driving it, period...

[Post pics of your z's here!!]

Ejkej,

Your car looks nice. Z cars always seem to photograph well from a low camera vantage point. If you haven't already added to the "official white z thread", please do so to keep that going. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/80625-the-official-white-z-thread/page__view__findpost__p__764664__hl__%2Bofficial+%2Bwhite+%2B__fromsearch__1

This is one thread I will just sit in the back ground and soak up the contributed information.

[In need of a good shop to send my Datsun]

I can add timemachineracecraft.com in Oceanside to your list, Tho does great work as he is very meticulous. You can see what he did for me by searching "purple toe project"...

Also Vildinimotorsport.com and Mckinney Motorsport....

[Keep & Complete, Sell Project, or Complete and Sell?]

My opinion and vote goes for hanging in there and riding out the rough times now. With all that you have mentioned, it would seem to be in the final stages that one big push to make enough momentum to keep you stoked on the project. You have come this far, why not at least get that chance to grin from ear to ear while chirping wheels into 2nd. I find a lot of similarities (minus the kids aspect) with my situation and am just pushing on through with the project no matter how long it takes(three years + now). I feel as if I have invested so much time, money and blood sweat & tears into this that I just could not wash my hands of it at this point. All that plus I just plain love everything about the s30, it's such an iconic and classic sports car and looks fast, and curvacious just sitting still. Stick it out, complete it and enjoy, or sell and experience sellers remorse shortly after. Maybe you could plan out a week of work off or extended weekends here and there to make some head way and keep the passion alive. Just throwing out my thoughts....

[Good luck all on the East coast.]

I'm hoping for the best for everyone on the east coast as well. Making my once a year trip home to NC to visit family and friends in Oct and really hoping to get in the regular hatteras surf trip.

[Mike Kelly's Zcar Project]

Mike,

Your car just keeps on looking nicer and nicer every time I see it. One of my good friends from Hampstead, NC, texted me about that unexpected earthquake. I grew up in NC, until 96' and never experienced one on the east coast, but more than made up for it in the past 10 years here in California...
