winstonusmc Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Pretty cool setup. I am going with something similar. What gearing are you going with? Stock gearing is going to suck. I had 4.11 on my RB25, and I wish it was 4.3. Now with my Z rocking the 3.5, its going to suck. Going to run filters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarlick Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) I want to run a 4.44 gear in the rear. I am seeking advice in the driveline section as to which one to use. It seems like the Subaru would be pretty straightforward. I had these pistons made by Arias for NA.

winstonusmc Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 If you don't mind me asking, how much? Wouldn't mind some more compression, maybe even on an RB30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarlick Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think it was like $1,200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I had the 3.69 R230 rear, then i changed the gears to 4.10 and it willnt stop burning out. It comes out pretty easy in 3rd from a roll with 295/35/17s I can't imagine having 4.30 in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarlick Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't think the RB20 with Carbs will put out enough torque for that to be much of an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarlick Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Getting closer here are a few pics of the under side and cabin. This is all single stage with a factory look undercoating. The engine compartment is getting sanded and resprayed in dual stage along with the rest of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcelectronics Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 looking good, is that the color you are going with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbb Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 looking good, is that the color you are going with? I would assume so, getting that Z432 scheme Question: What mounts are you using? McKinney mounts or self fab'd mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarlick Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yes, it's 918 orange. I won't be doing the black hood though that was on the Z 432R. They are McKinney mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbb Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ahh I see, I'm a fan of both. A buddy of mine has a color scheme similar to the Z432R, it's pretty sweet. Regardless, I'll be following your progress! Can't wait to see how she goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarlick Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Here are some updates. I was able to track down an R192 4.44 from Japan. I took it to a local specialist and other than needing the seals replaced which I sourced from Japan as well it was good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi I was looking at your thread again and want to know a bit more about the ignition module are you just using the setup you posted and without any stock ECU?, I believe fuel is just coming direct to the carb right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98blackbell Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Great job.I missed this build some how. When we get done sailing I will build one of these, 10 years. Rb30 block, rb26 head ITB fuel injection, 6 speed tranny. Dream machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSoCal Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Cant wait to see how this turns out! I might try to buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeoster Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) I remember your build. Didnt it have the bride seats and sold for around $18k? What a beauty that was and I wished I had the cash at the time to buy it. Hows this forum been? Hopefully the mods are still brutal....

dwarlick Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Well, it's been a while since I've updated my progress and as with most of us life has gotten in the way of what I want to be doing which is finishing my Z. Here is where I am now: Dash is in All electrics lights, wipers, etc. are installed and work (however both wiper and headlight switches are a little glitchey but will do for now) JDM Tail lights are rewired to light properly. Brake system is installed completely (just needs to be bled) I found some Sumitomo MK63 twin piston brakes that I believe are a direct bolt-in option for the Z's of this era. I'll get some pics in the next few days. The fuel system is in process now. I am just waiting on a couple of ordered parts to get the tank in. Once the fuel system is complete I'll be ready to drop in the drive train. The motor is engine dyno tuned and broken in and ready to go at 209hp @ 8,300 on pump gas. With a redline of around 9k rpm! I have a sheet I'll post soon. My goal is to have it done by christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
