egzlilgituarboy9 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Been working on my car since fall and have yet to start a build thread. My plan is to but a good streetable car that for some weekends at auto-x and and few runs down the strip so here is where i'm at right now. Rota RB's, 4x4 calipers, drilled and slotted rotors, megan coilovers, MSA sway bars, TTT front control arms, AZC steering knuckles, OBX LSD, TEP rear strut tower brace, custom front strut tower brace, reinforced sway bar mounts, seam welded front half so far, stripped engine bay and repainted i'm sure there's is thing i'm forgetting but its all I can think of right now. Here are some pictures. Edited March 7, 2012 by egzlilgituarboy9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UofA_ZCar Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nice work. I wish I would have seam welded when I had my Z down to bare metal. On your front strut bar what did you tie the bars going down into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egzlilgituarboy9 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Well first on the bottom side where the sway bar mounts to I welded a plate to the frame rail to reinforce that mount then drilled the two holes straight up and made the part that goes down to the frame bolt through the frame to the sway bar bolts. If that is confusing I can take a picture if you would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egzlilgituarboy9 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Almost forgot about this thread .... heres an update, rear end is finished after waiting months for my adapters 300zx cv axles are now in. Brakes are finished custom brake lines by Pirtek hoses also threw in a Wilwood master cyl along with a clutch master cyl as well. Finished my gauge setup with speedhut tach and speedo, then prosport gauges for everything else also install a dash cover that turned out pretty good. Got myself a momo steering wheel and a ultrasheild aluminum seat actually is really comfy atleast to me it is! Finished all sound deadning on both driver and passenger side. By now pretty much every bolt has been replaced with stainless or grade 8. Rebuilt my t56 transmission with stage 2 upgrade kit from thegearbox.com very happy with there kit. Now waiting on motor to get assembled almost done and clutch is ordered. Here is some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsicard Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 egzlilgituarboy9: I also have a T56 transmission that needs upgrade. Was it VERY HARD to disassemble and reassemble the T56 and install the Stage 2 kit of parts? Did you have to replace the bearings or need shims in the rebuild? Did you have instructions for disassembly and reassembly of the T56? Please advise as I would like to do the same. I have completely rebuilt my 383 stroker SBC. Now the T56 needs to have the weak spots taken out. It is the -016 with .50 overdrive 6th gear from a Camaro or pontiac. Please advise. Thanks.

egzlilgituarboy9 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 I bought a manual on ebay helps a lot but I thought it was pretty easy. My trans wasn't to bad I didn't replace any bearings so I didn't have to shim anything either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egzlilgituarboy9 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Although you do need to bring it to a machine shop to press off/on the 1/2 3/4 syncro assembly it cost me $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bens1088 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Got some more parts including centerforce clutch and fidanza flywheel. Some projector headlights. New radio is in just waiting on passenger seat and interior is done. I motor is almost done being assembled should have it in the car I'm about 3-4 weeks Be careful, those aren't real projector headlights and will spray light everywhere. Pretty dangerous on the road (not only for oncoming traffic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
