  1. Hey all. I've lurked for a while and have had a few other Z's. My last was an LT1/T56 setup. This time I am going a little weird for the swap.

     

    I bought the shell with no motor and in quasi rough shape, but was relatively rust free so I jumped on it. I initially started going with an LS, and had it installed when I thought what would make ME happy.

     

     I am a big VW guy and had a Corrado SLC before this project. I have a lot of fond memories in my Corrado so I decided to mix the best of both worlds in the S30. It will be getting a 12V AAA VR6 motor with gt35 turbo. For the transmission I am using a B5 Audi S4 01E 6 speed converted to rwd. BBS RS 16" wheels are at each corner from a Porsche 968 with wider lips in the rear. Behind the front wheels are Toyota brake caliper upgrades. The rear fenders are being widened with Ztrix fiberglass subtle setup. The interior is getting Sparco R100 seats and a Corrado dashboard with Speedhut gauges with gps speedo. 

     

    This is all a work in progress, but I will be posting to my instagram account as I make any progress. I wanted to introduce myself and share what I am very glad to be building

  2. An alternative is always a good thing as long as its one that will help the users. I want the users to be able to use the site without the worry of someone yelling at them regarding a question they were not able to find even if they searched.

  3. Hey all. Before you flame me....I am an owner and enthusiast for all things Z. I wanted to offer an alternative to what is currently offered. If interested in building a new community I thank you. If not, no hard feelings. The site is in its infancy and looking for members and discussions. Your help is appreciated.

  4. Drove it around a little after a local fellow z guy came over and helped me bleed the brakes and install the bigger master cylinder. It absolutely rubs in the back around turns, bumps, acceleration. Fender flares will be in soon. I ordered from: jpngarage.com I plan on doing a full write up on the quality, fitment and installation to help hopefully find a solid provider of these flares. It seems that shops are hit or miss when it comes to the quality and fitment. I can tell you that their initial communication has been very good.
